Mike Betancourt, Michael O'Connell and Sam Bruno - This Tuesday at the Rose Room!


Are you ready for this, Roseville?  I don't think you are!!

This Tuesday, February 15th, I will be hooking up with full-contact headliner Mike Betancourt and the inked one, Sam Bruno, at the Rose Room in Old Roseville for an 8:00 show.  The doors open at 7:00 for dinner specials, so come early to get your pizza on (along with your drink - we encourage early drinking at our shows).  The tix are $10 per person or $15 per couple.  Way too cheap for this kind of triple-threat comedy onslaught, you say?  You're RIGHT.  And you're WELCOME.

Sam (he of Sam Bruno Entertainment, the biz putting this show together) will be opening things up, and if things go like they often do, someone will end up punching him in the head before his set is over.  Sam continues to defend his crown as Sacramento Comedian Who's Spent the Most Time in the ER.  Jokes will fly.  Fists might, too.  One way or the other, Sam will knock you OUT.

I'll be dropping somewhere between 20-30 minutes up there, and while I don't want to get your hopes up too much, I MAY be telling some wheelchair jokes.  Don't hold me to that.  But keep hope alive.

Finally, your headliner for the night will be Mike B., whose last trip the Rose Room not only tore the joint up, but somehow ended in a still-talked-about Dirty Dancing finale reenactment.  Every comedian gets hecklers.  Not every comedian lifts their hecklers up to the heavens like Swayze.  You never know what's going to go down when Mike's on the mic, so don't be the poor sap who misses out on his latest breakdown.  You'll have the time of your life.  And you've never felt that way before.

Come one, come all, come early!  And come to:

Thanks for the memories.

When I did that first video slideshow showing my 2010 in comedy month to month, I was agonized by how many photos I had to leave out with me and people - people like the friends, fans and family coming out to all the shows.

So instead, I've done a second video with just shots of me and all the many people in my comedy universe, from spectators to fellow comics to celebs.  And even now, I was STILL agonized by not being able to fit everyone in!  If you know you're in a pic with me and don't see yourself in this, my apologies.  Fall Out Boy just need to write longer songs in the future.  Either that, or I have to get a lot less awesome people in my life.

Thanks, everyone, for making this past year so unforgettable.  But be sure to stick around!  More excitement is on the way in 2011!
