Charlie Sheen to Perform Stand up?
Dear People,
Apparently Charlie Sheen is branching out into live shows, and they're already selling out. The performance "Fastball" scheduled for April 2nd and 3rd is already sold out. I know Sheen is no comic, but I can tell you he did not write a 1 man theatre performance for this. Sheen will be performing a stand up type show for good or bad. I assume his show will be similar to a Christopher Titus "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" type performance. Being that he is a frustrated actor, he probably will not have a set up - Bang routine. Anyway here's his recent famous rant if you have not already heard it, I assume his show will have many similar themes.

Stand Up Retrap: Mike Vecchione, And Jessi Klein
Dear People,
Managed to catch most of the Comedy Central Presents specials last night. Sadly it was hit or miss for me. Loved Jessi Klein, hated Mike Vecchione.
I wanted to like Mike Vecchione, I really did, but I just couldn't. His material was weak, his rhythm was off, and delivery was poor. It was also very obvious that he was nervous. He didn't come off strong or really have much of a persona. He also had a tendency to repeat words and phrases. Whether this was to keep his rhythm on track (which it didn't really) or for comedic affect (also did not make a difference for) is still unclear to me. Vecchione's Stand up persona would have to be a sort of Buff White guy who is actually very soft spoken. If I had to choose a best clip, which was difficult it would be this one.
Jessi Klein
Jessi Klein was funny. Undoubtedly funny. She never made my sides split but she kept me laughing the entire time. Klein's deal was the Jewish mid 30's single woman who has been around the relationship block. She actually had a type of Tina Fey vibe. Her material was good and she had good timing. I'm not surprised she's not more well known considering how hard it is for female comics to make a name. I have to say though I liked her way better than better known names like iliza shlesinger or natasha leggero. Here's a look at some of her special
That's it for now, hopefully I can catch Daniel Tosh's special this Sunday

New Specials: Daniel Tosh, Mike Vecchione, And Jessi Klein
Dear People,
My weekend is looking shitty, but at least there is new stand up on. Daniel Tosh is getting his own 1 hour special "Happy Thoughts" that will premiere on Sunday. I never understood everyone's obsession with Tosh.0. Mostly because I think it extremely limits Tosh in every creative way. He may as well just be a humorous newscaster. However, if you haven't caught his stand up then you'll be surprised at what he can do. The two new Presents specials are Mike Vecchione and Jessi Klein. Neither of which I know much about, Vecchione doesn't even have a wikipedia yet. That's good though, I'd rather go in fresh than research a comedian and expect something. Anyway, that's all for now.

Kyle Kinane And Matt Fulchiron
Dear People,
Been real busy lately, and still don't have a car but I thought I might as well post a video from the Comedy central presents this past weekend. Kyle Kinane started slow but his act became real funny real fast. He used some shock humor here and there, but it wasn't the kind that would repel anyone, more the kind to wake up an audience. Matt Fulchiron was decent, but forgettable. Anyway here's my favorite bit from Kinane's set.

On hold
Dear People Got hit and run by a drunk driver this weekend. My car's totaled, but no one was hurt. This may put some of my comedic aspirations on hold for a week or so...

Friday Night Means Stand UP- Kyle Kinane, and Matt Fulchiron
Dear Peeps,
There are two new comedy central specials tonight. Comics Kyle Kinane, and Matt Fulchiron. I've only seen quick previews on TV, but so far CCP has been well off this season. Hopefully I'll be able to catch them before drowning in a pool friday night shenanigans.
