the show must go on

As an event producer, I must say that I sincerely hope that this blizzard quiets down.

Molly's show last night was a great success, although she was exhausted by the end, and I spent the evening perched on a metal staircase (in a pinup-girl dress) selling merchandise and raffle tickets. As I explained to a few people who inquired about my role, Molly and I trade slave labor.

So, what's happening this week? On Monday, there's an After-School Comedy Special, which will be the last little show before the big show. If you'd like to buy your Lord Carrett tickets in person from me, you may do so at Monday's show and avoid the little Ticketweb surcharge. Or, just buy them online and still save a couple of bucks over the door price.

On Friday, I will open for Lord Carrett at the Lucky Cat in Williamsburg. The Lucky Cat is a smaller, darker, sexier space, and the show will run promptly from 9pm to 11pm. I'll host and do some standup, and I'll likely pull out one of the pieces of my CD, probably something a little bit dirty. Nasty Canasta, whom I invited to perform because she is so damn inventive and funny (she has a strip act that she performs to a recording of a car alarm going off!), will do a couple of numbers. And then headliner Lord Carrett will come on out. He won't be the only guy in Brooklyn with a pompadour ;)

On Saturday is the big show at CB's Gallery, in which Lord, Nasty, and I will be joined by Bruce Cherry of Air America Radio, retro-pop band The Cucumbers, and a special (also with "Lord" in his name) comic musical guest. That show will begin at 9 (doors at 8) and run into the night, with the Cucumbers closing the show. If you're coming to see me, I'll be hosting, so don't worry, you can't miss me.

It has been a busy time, and now a snowy one, but I have faith in the snow abating, in your assiduous pursuit of entertainment, in Lord's plane arriving safely, and in the power of comedy (and of a goddamn fuckload of style).

For a goddamn fuckload of style ... here's Lord from his recently-concluded European tour.
