Think about it. Or don’t. That’s a pretty camera, huh?

So, quite a few people couldn’t get the hang of the forums on the Hotdog Thunderdome. And by “a few,” I mean 104%. We decided to create a simple, more common type of message board for Cuddlahs to exchange words and whatnot.
The Hot Dog Thunderforum is now alive and pulsing like a vein before heroin is injected into it. Come join and partake in sadness.
Our Live Podcast at Chop Suey in Seattle Wednesday night was a corndog made of amazing. The venue was rad, our guests - Seattle comic Duane Goad,Tweet singers We Sing Your Tweets and our great friend and Australian comedy hunk Wil Anderson were all superb. The promoters were cool, and per usual our fans were off the hook great. A few of them blowing our minds by traveling many miles to be there. All in all I would say it was one of our best live efforts and will be available very soon. Thanks to those of you that came and again to the ones that bought tickets when there was no way they could come.
Oh and to the local comics who talked through the show and left… No matter how much you do or don’t like another comic or performer have the balls to let them live or die on their own merit. But to disrupt their show for no reason and then leave makes you look like the amateur chickenshits you are.
Live Seattle Podcast Tonight with guests Wil Anderson and Duane Goad
So, Wil Anderson and the gents from the Little Dum Dum Club podcast have been kind enough to help me out when I’m in Australia.
So far, I’ve lined up the following shows…
Monday April 2nd.
Spleen - 41 Bourke Street - 8:30 pm
The Shelf - The Toff in Town - Doors at 7:30, show until 11pm.
Tuesday
A Karl Chandler show but I don’t know the name. It will be near Town Hall.
Wednesday
The Felix Bar - 11 Fitzroy Street St Kilda Victoria - 8:30 pm
Other shows to follow. I will be doing a couple of live podcasts it looks like and hope to do a show in Sydney on the 8th.
I put up a Tweet tonight telling people to hold off buying tickets to the live Melbourne Podcuddle. Now I shall explain myself.
Here’s the deal. When we first discussed going to the festival, it was because Greg had been invited to do his one man show and we thought it would be a good opportunity to do the podcast AND that I would be able to do stand up in Melbourne. As the date got closer, it became apparent that I was a bit of an afterthought. So, I had my manager call today to find out what other shows I would be doing stand up on. The answer came today: None.
The reason they gave was that I only had a visa to do the podcast. I now have a choice to make. I can go to Melbourne for 12 days, as planned, and just do the podcast and the late show planned with Wil, Charlie, me and Greg. We haven’t really planned to do any stand up on that one. The problem with this choice is that I will be sitting around a festival while other people are performing, and based on how my career has gone, that is a special kind of hell I’m not interested in.
Another choice is to not go. I am currently leaning to not going. I’m dreading being away from Finn for 12 days and to do that for just one podcast might be rough. Last time I was away – in SF – he didn’t sleep and generally had an awful time.
The third option is to put on my own shows somewhere. One in Melbourne (but logistically, that could be a nightmare with the festival going on) and one is Sydney. I’d have to rent a small theater.
Anyway, that’s where I’m at with Melbourne. It’s been a shit day overall with other showbiz stuff and this was the icing on the cake.

Earlier this month, I had the great honor of being a guest on a live version of Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony’s podcast Walking The Room at San Francisco Sketchfest.
And I took the opportunity to tell the most vulgar story I have ever told. It went against every standard of good taste to which I have ever held myself, and I’ll be damned if it didn’t feel great.
If you have $2 and you want to hear me debase myself in front of an eager audience, click here, download, and forgive me.

Only $2 to hear the greatest story ever told. And it was told by Dave Holmes.
My God, was it told by Dave Holmes.

A year or so ago, Andy told me about an idea he’d had for a while to make T-shirts attributing stupid T-shirt slogans (mottos? catchphrases?) to some of history’s great thinkers. I laughed, and we collaborated on a list, and we continue to laugh every time we read these. We are simple people.

Last year I came up with the idea of a Podcast Festival. I sat down with the guys from Comedy Film Nerd and Andy Wood of the Bridgetown Comedy Festival and we hashed out a plan. Took about a year to get to the point where we could set up a Kickstarter account, but here we are. So, any donations you guys can toss in are greatly appreciated.
It will be a three day festival with podcasts, panels, stand up shows and more. If successful, we will be able to expand it next year and hopefully turn it into a longer podcast festival. Currently we have the following podcasts scheduled to appear.
- Marc Maron’s WTF
- Jimmy Pardo’s Never Not Funny
- Todd Glass’s The Todd Glass Show
- Graham Elwood and Chris Mancini’s Comedy Film Nerds
- Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony’s Walking the Room
- Jackie Kashian’s The Dork Forest
- Mike Schmidt’s The 40-Year-Old Boy
- Al Madrigal, Maz Jobrani and Chris Spencer’s The Minivan Men
- Lynette Carolla and Stefanie Wilder-Taylor’s For Crying Out Loud
Thanks, Dave
Oh, right, Dave is on this, too.
San Francisco! Rejoice! After three years, Morgan Murphy and I are revising our scrappy little live talk show and doing it next weekend in San Francisco as part of “Sketch Fest!”
It’s a talk show that isn’t a talk show, our show band is missing and we talk to each other about whatever we want and talk to our guests about their deepest, innermost secrets and also dumb things. We might even play a rousing rendition of the classic game (we made up) “Whose Mom Said It?”
It’s called “Morgan Murphy Presents Jen Kirkman & other guests” - our guests for the live show are Laraine Newman & Dave Anthony.
It’s Saturday February 4th at 5pm at the Punchline Comedy Club
Tickets are on sale now and available here! http://www.livenation.com/event/1C004788BEE65E6D
I would absolutely go to this if it were physically possible for me to do so.
