In a couple weeks I will be in Greenville, South Carolina for one night (2/9) at The Coffee Underground and it should be awesome.  Luckily, in the world of stand up comedy there are many talented, ambitious, up and coming comedians putting on shows in cities all over the place in alternative venues like this that attract audiences and comedians alike that are into comedy for all the right reasons.  I feel lucky and grateful to be able to do these shows.

After that night of splendor, I’m off to Wilmington, North Carolina to perform at what can only be described the best little whore house in Texas of comedy clubs – Nutt Street.  Do you like your comedy intimate?  Do you like to feel like you’re in on a super-awesome secret?  Do you wish you could have seen some of the great comedians of yester-year in smaller venues before they broke big?  (note: not saying I’m going to be considered a great comedian of yester-year in the future) – then you should come to one of the shows Friday (2/10) or Saturday (2/11).  It is such a great and cozy club that you’ll feel like we’re starting a revolution or Ginsberg’s ghost might perform.  I am thrilled to have a great comedian and dear friend Reid Faylor along for the shows.

Then I will be on my way to Florida to see an old friend for a few days before featuring at the Orlando Improv from 2/16 – 2/19.  It will be my first time at the club and I am looking forward to it in a very adult way.  If you live close by you should accompany me on journeys to the center of our minds and our hearts.

I will be leaving the sunshine state and headed to the great, frozen north – Minneapolis, Minnesota.  I am excited to get back there and see some friends I have not seen in awhile and tell some jokes in one of the best joke cities out there.  I’ll be headlining the awesome Joke Joint Comedy Club Thursday through Sunday (2/23 – 2/25).

I am not sure what happens after that, I either fly home to LA or make some adventure elsewhere before I head to Columbus, Ohio for a week in early March.

What have I been doing the last two months?  Comedy Wonder Town.  That is the name of the new album I will be recording sometime in the next few months, but it is also the name of a project I wrote and filmed for a Comedy Central competition in association with the New York Television Festival.  It is just shy of 15 minutes long and I had some really talented people volunteer their talents to make it great.  I cannot show it as of now, but once the competition unfolds a bit more, I may have an opportunity to post a super-secret link if you’re interested in checking it out.

So, the next few months I am going to be on the road a lot working on the new album and trying my damnedest to create a low-fi web series that people will actually watch.  And if you thought Carl Treadway VII was gone forever, you’re wrong!  I’ve got big plans for that bastard.  Big plans.

Check out my youtube page and add me/subscribe/like my videos, etc.  Also, if you own my first album it would be cool if you went to iTunes and rated/commented about how you like it.  That could help get more attention to it so other people may find it.  I’ll keep you posted of any other cool stuff as it occurs.

A Look Around Occupy Dayton

When my roommate Jeff and I both have a day off and we’re both home, we usually take his camera out into the general public and film something that can at many times make people uncomfortable or stare at us. Find the magical moment in this latest short of someone in that position and you can win a free album of my stand up comedy if you do not already own it. Leave your guess in the comments below.

For the record, I am addicted to coffee, actually caffeine in a major way.

A lot of exclamation points in this title for no good reason. I do remember recording this podcast and I remember having a ton of fun doing it. These guys are fun to hang out with in general, let alone when the microphones are recording.

Some highlights include me talking trash about someone who wronged me and my firm stance on the War on Pun. I do not normally talk trash about anyone, but his person (who’s name was changed for the broadcast) is a legendary sleeze-bag. If you have any comedy acumen, you will figure it out. But, enough about the negative, there was some fun moments captured I think and I believe you will enjoy it.

Thanks to Brent Terhune, Jeff Oskay, and Matt Holt (who could not be there because he was out having sex with supermodels). You guys made this obscure bastard feel pretty radical. Thanks.

Listen here ====> A lot of Ryan Singer Talking!!!

The short season has come to an end and with it comes the finality that all great series bring. In the third installment of Season Two the darkest corners of our minds are explored and the redemption of a new and brighter day has its whisperings heard on the streets of our hearts. What will unfold in this anti-Hollywood tome?

Episode Three – “Portend”

Wow.  I know you can’t believe it.  Studebaker Pie has returned just when you thought there was no chance it could ever happen again.  I know I feel like the wife of Tom Hanks’ character in Castaway when he showed up at her house.  You probably have already married another web series.  I guess you just never know what the tide is going to bring in.

Season Two brings us the return and is sure to answer all of those unanswered questions still lingering from Season One.  Only time will tell what other-worldly things will be revealed and what truths uncovered in the new season.  Please sit back, possibly do whatever it is you feel necessary to truly appreciate all that is Studebaker Pie, and enjoy.

Episode Two is finally here of yet another critically ignored web series from Ryan Singer.  Fear not, it is quite early and big things are on the horizon for Carmine and his unique family.

Carmine continues his journey to manhood or does he?  You’ll have to watch this episode to see if he finally has decided to commit himself to the noble cause and what will become of his many brothers and sisters?  Will the perp-obsessed police officer get a second date with Dorothy?
