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.

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.

This is the third installment of this series and this time I am going to be very selfish and self-centered.  I am taking this opportunith to possibly introduce you to two of my best friends in the business.  There styles are different, but their funny is extremely high.

Geoff Tate -  Geoff is the type of guy who will sneak up on you with his funny, brash and unapologetic style of storytelling and joke making.  If you want to know what the life of that crazy son of a bitch was like that you probably knew when you were younger who was into drugs and seemed to have a death wish, sit back and listen to Geoff.  Well, its all come full circle for him now as he balances his crazy ass past with his seemingly adult and mature present with a wife and dog.  One thing growing up hasn’t done is take the edge off his ability to make you laugh.  Simply said, he’s a beast on stage with a seemingly endless vault of material.

Dave Waite -  If there was a clear way to describe this whack job of a guy, I would do it.  But, there is not.  You have to see Dave to know what I am talking about.  He is the perfect example of a headshot and bio not giving you any real idea of the funny you will witness.  If there was ever a reason to go to a comedy club and see a live show, Dave would be it.  Some of the best experiences I have ever had in a comedy club is watching an audience not get Dave.  It only makes him amp his energy up even more.  I really try hard not to judge people, but I will judge whether or not someone has any clue about comedy by whether or not they think Dave is funny.  If they do not, I will not even talk to that person.

Past guest include: Mike MacRae, Dan Gabriel, Dr. Gonzo, Dave Waite, Nikki Glaser and many other of the rising and past stars of the stand up comedy world.

When reached for comment, Ryan Singer said, “The only way I can equate it is like this, imagine if you could resurrect all the dead Beatles and have them put out some more albums and have Jimi Hendrix join them. That is how it is and how it feels. We’re all ready to get back to being the best.”
