For those of you who are aware of my career up to this point, you know that I enjoy making acceptance speech videos for awards that I do not win.  See Comic’s Comic Award Acceptance Speech video at bottom of this page.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted numerous times for me to win CMT’s Next Big Comic Contest and although I did not win, it was enjoyable being a part of it with some great comics and friends.  To be honest, I was not expecting to make it out of the first round, so to get to the finals was pretty cool.

And even though I did not win, I am still on a mission to meet Gary Allan.  I am currently listening to his newest album, “Get Off on the Pain,” right now and it is awesome.  So, here is my latest acceptance speech video that would have aired on CMT if I would have won.  I am posting here in an attempt to cement my future place as the pre-2008 Martin Scorcese of award winning.  Its not all about winning, its about having fun along the way.  Congrats to my buddy, Pete Lee for winning!

I’ll be headlining Wiley’s Comedy Club in Dayton, OH, this Thursday (3/11).  It should be a fun time for sure and it is my first time officially headlining one of the clubs I started performing comedy.  Tickets are only $5 and showtime is at 8 pm.

I just got back the Laughing Skull Comedy festival in Atlanta, GA, this past weekend.  It was a blast and I met A LOT of great comics and some very interesting characters.  We are now in the final days of the voting for CMT’s Next Big Comic Contest and I am really grateful for all the votes and support I have been getting locally and nationally.  Thanks for voting and you can continue to vote for me here or by texting FUNNY12 to 32709.

If I win, you will be able to see a very short acceptance speech video on CMT Monday at sometime after they announce the winner.  Regardless of the outcome, it has been a lot of fun and a really cool ride.

Make sure to check out my schedule as I am updating it every few days with new dates and new cities.  If you live in Columbus, OH, or Bloomington, IN, I will be visiting you soon with some jokes.

Some people have been asking me about the cartoon thing and all I can tell you is that I am still trying to get someone to take a chance on it and I will hopefully know by the end of next month of it will be given a chance to bring some unique and original stylings to a network near you.  And my latest internet commercial series shall be coming up online soon.  I really think it might be some great stuff, we shall wait and see.

So, this is pretty cool. I was selected as one of 12 finalist by CMT to compete in their “Next Big Comic” Contest” and it will take place on their website – cmt.com. Is this a ploy to drive traffic to their website and get some new visitors? Maybe it is, but as I have never allowed myself to compete in one of these contest before, I figured this one was a good first time.

You can vote as many times as you want (hint hint) and you can text FUNNY12 to 32709  – as many times as your wireless provider will allow!

I have not partaken in contests that require you to hassle people for votes because I find them annoying. But, they much like a lot of other things in this business, have become a common occurrence. I am looking forward to being a part of it because the other comics they selected are all really good and some of them are friends of mine. So, it is really cool to be included in their company for such a thing.

I apologize in advance if you get tired of my requests for votes, but keep in mind that this contest last 5 weeks if I make it to the end. It will either be me hassling you for over a month or less. Thanks so much if you do take the time to vote for me and help me get successful enough to not sleep on my futon. You are the best!
