Me & My Dolls is an exploration of manhood and the ever-changing world in which we all live.  Follow with us as we see if Carmine can overcome adversity–both inside himself and from external forces on his journey towards self-actualization.

I’ll be peforming at Woodlands Tavern in Columbus, Ohio on Monday, then off to the Downtown Crackers Wed – Sat of next week.  I’m doing an awesome show put on my buddy Ryan Remmington at the Sinking Ship in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday 8/28.  Let’s us all get together and feel all right!

I miss you all very much.  Very, very, very much.  I love you all.  Very, very, very much.

Ryan

If you are reading this before Thursday (July 1st), then you can hear me on the Bob & Tom radio show at 8 am on Thursday morning.  Is this short notice?  Yea it is.  I got short’ish notice myself, but I am certainly happy to be waking up early early for the show.  I have done the show once before a couple years ago and look forward to sitting back down in the studio again.

After the show, I am headed off to Bloomington, Indiana, to co-headline the Comedy Attic with my good buddy and future roommate Dave Waite.  We are going to have an absolute blast doing our thing in the city that is home to the Indiana University Hoosiers and other assorted things.  Comedians say it all the time and I really mean it when I say that this is one of THE best clubs to perform at in the country and I absolutely LOVE doing shows there.  I was just there a few months ago doing shows with Marc Maron and they only bring in the best comedians working today, so that makes a shitbag like myself feel pretty good about the way things are working out.

One time I was there I had an experience that I will always remember for years and years.  I was invited to a party after a show at the university and aside from feeling like I would have been the old creepy dude at the party, there is one distinct reason I did not go.  The younger Ryan would have quite enjoyed this invite, but I was not in a position to accept.  I was invited by some guys to go to a “Rum & Coke & Coke” party.  I think you can figure out what was going to happen there.  I could just imagine the headlines in the paper the next day:

“Creepy Old Comedian Arrested With Twenty 19 Year Old Girls And Lots of Cocaine”

Granted, it does have somewhat of a cool ring to it, no?  You are right, it does not.  We have one show Thursday, 2 Friday night and 2 Saturday night some come on out and catch some laughs and awkward moments.  Let me know if you heard me on the radio and how you think I did.  Yes, I am opening myself up for judgment it would seem.

My new cd is out now!  You can get it from the internet on iTunes (just click on photo above) and amazon.com or you can get it from me at a live show.  Check my schedule to see if I am coming to a town near you anytime soon.  A huge thanks to everyone who came out to the show and made it a success.  There are a shit-ton of people to thank for all the different things that went into making this a reality, so if you are one of those people – thank you!

The album is released by Rooftop Comedy and Reid Faylor designed the cover and back.  I did the comedy on the cd with help on bonus tracks from some of my very talented buddies.  If you want to get it now, click on the photo up top or right here and it will link you directly to iTunes.  Please rate and review the cd as you see fit.

If you came to the show and have not received your copy of the cd yet, please email me through the contact form on this site so I can get it to you.  Some emails bounced back to me, so if you are one of those people, don’t worry I am not dodging you.  I definitely want you to get your copy.  First physical copy I sold was to a guy at a bar who heckled me.  So is the way of the world.

New Year’s Eve in Bloomington, Indiana, at the Funny Bone with the hilarious Greg Warren.  If you are in that town, come on out and let’s try to make a fun weekend out of it.

Here is the first installment of some internet commercials I did for Biz Stain Fighter.  I am the Biz Guy and I love nothing more than getting dirty so I can get clean.  There are five total commercials and I think that they are pretty good.  I will give you a little back story to these:

The script was very loose as you could probably tell after watching the video.  It was pretty much just a bare bones idea and they let me have free reign of the meaty party of dialogue (with some exceptions, obviously).  Some people may say I have sold my artistic integrity down the river for a few bucks and I say to them, “What artistic integrity do you speak of, dear friend?”

When you are 33 years old and sleep on a futon mattress on the floor of a friend’s condo, there is not much that is not for sale.  Indeed.  I am being overly dramatic as I am cracked out on a 7 Eleven coffee right now.  No joke.  If you could see my jaw right now.

Here’s the first video, we’ll call it “Wine Tasting”

This past weekend I was at one of my favorite clubs, the Bloomington, IN, Funny Bone working.  I have worked there a bunch of times now and always love going there because of the owners and local comedians and staff.  This time I was working with Marc Maron, who if you know stand up comedy, you know.  If you don’t know stand up comedy, you probably still know him even if you don’t think you do.  I know you’ve see him.  I’m sure of it.  Point is, it was one of those really awesome comedy weekends and it surpassed even my expectations for it.

Here’s a quick link to Episode #59, which I did a quick interview with Marc about a crazy thing that happened Friday night.

I do not have much time somehow to watch a lot of television or do stuff like that, but I do listen to about 3 different podcasts when given the opportunity on a long drive or a spare hour at home.  Marc Maron is the host of one of those.  It is called “WTF” and it is awesome for any casual or die hard comedy fan.  This episode has an awesome conversation with one of my other favorite comedians, Robert Hawkins.  The guy is an absolute beast on stage and if you haven’t seen him live its only because you have not tried.  He is always touring and will certainly be at a comedy club near you at some point in the near future.

You can follow Maron on all the social networking sites:  Maron on Twitter, Maron of Facebook, WTF on Twitter

I may at some point make a separate page for all the podcasts I have been a guest on, so it is easy to just listen to them all in one place.  Let’s see how I feel after another cup of coffee or two.

Also on this show will be Dave Waite, Mike Cody, Alex Stone, Reid Faylor, and Ben Lyons.  We are sure to have one hell of a time and we shall be rejoicing with spirits and the like afterwards.  Won’t you please come on out and partake in the one of a kind ambiance that only Canal Street can offer.  It is a real honor to be performing on a stage that has been graced by so many great musicians.

Admission is only $5 if you are 21 or older and $7 if you are a younger comedy fan.  If this show is successful, there will be more to follow.  So, let’s come out of the gate with a BANG!  9 pm showtime

We had a blast on Wednesday night and look to have even more fun on Saturday (2 shows: 8 and 1030) and Sunday night.  Our buddy Tom Bolton made this kickass flyer for the show:

If you bring a canned good and make a reservation, you get half price tickets for Saturday night.  It is a food drive, not for me.  If you do that on Sunday night, you get in for FREE!  What is better than helping people and laughing for free?  Nothing.

As a special added incentive for the Sunday night show, if we sell out the show, I will give everyone a free copy of my new cd entitled, “How To Get High Without Drugs.” By sold out, I mean that the number of free seats available will be no more than I can count on my two hands.  It would be an awesome way to end an awesome weekend.  No pressure.  There just may be an extra special surprise on Sunday night’s show as well.  Hint, hint.

If you came to my cd recording show last month, come on out to get your free copy of the cd that I owe you.  Or email me your address so I can send it to you as a late Christmas present.

Here’s the one I helped out with…

What is Studebaker Pie? No one can know for sure, but people have their allegiances to it and against it. Some claim it is evil, while others claim it is an agent of love. One thing is for certain, it keeps the people in the town of Bedroomia on their toes. Written, Directed and Edited by Ryan Singer.
