I’ve been looking forward to this, you guys. First, I’m flying into Kansas City where I will be doing a run of shows with Pure Chaos Comedy, founded by the great Breck Gordon. Pure Chaos was originally started in NYC. Breck and company put on shows at all sorts of alternative venues. The crowds are fantastic. I would say sometimes they are folks who wouldn’t otherwise come out to comedy shows. They’d probably be more into hardcore music or fire-breathing or something lol. But those folks can often times be wonderful audience members IF the comedian is doing something interesting, unique and relevant. Weirdos like finding other weirdos is what I’m saying. It has been very fun to do Pure Chaos Comedy shows in NYC. I’m so excited to experience the Kansas expansion. In addition to doing some stand up shows, I even get to do a performance of my solo show on Sunday, May 10th at Farewell KCMO! Get tix.
After Kansas City, I’m flying to Los Angeles, California. LA, bayyybeee. I haven’t been there in YEARS. I’m stoked to do fun shows and get to see some dear old pals who I haven’t crossed paths with in a long time. In addition to getting to doing a spot at UCB on a show called SOLID run by the great Clare O’Kane and Joe Kwaczala, I will be co-headlining a show with Lee Camp at the Lyric Hyperion on Wednesday, May 13th! I’m SO stoked for this. Some of you know and some of you do not that Lee and I worked together for many years on the radical, leftist comedy news show, Redacted Tonight. Lee was the host, and I was one of the correspondents. We did great fucking work. Really kicking the evil empire in the throat with hard-hitting political satire. In my opinion, the people pushing back against the fascistic wave are the real patriots in this country. Lee and I will both be doing long sets that are going to be very (hilariously) politically charged. We would love to see some hardcore Redactivists at this very special reunion show! Get tix.
After Los Angeles, I will be headed to Boulder, Colorado. I’m going to be headlining a weekend at this totally freaking awesome club called Comic Cents on May 15th and 16th. It’s an intimate space that gets packed out with people, and the laughs bounce off the walls. I got to perform there a couple of years ago, and it was so much fun. I’m thrilled to be back. Get tix.
After Boulder, I will be doing a week of shows in Denver. It’s one of my favorite places in the entire country to get to perform. I’m doing a bunch of showcase shows that I’m very excited about. I’ll be on Thick Skin hosted by the great Matt Cobos and Mike Stanley. I’ll be doing a fun brewery show called Ratio. And I’m super stoked to be doing some Don’t Tell shows. The week in Denver all culminates with me getting to do spots at The Denver Comedy Lounge on May 22nd and 23rd. My dear friend and former NYC comedy show co-producer, Ben Kronberg, runs a wonderful comedy club. Little known fact, Ben is actually one of the original producers of Live From Outer Space, my weekly Friday night show at Cobra Club in Bushwick, Brooklyn. We started the show way back in 2013, and it’s still going strong. At this point, it’s the longest running show in all of Brooklyn. Not an easy thing to do. But I digress… The Denver Comedy Lounge is this super cool spot for comedy. And I’m quite stoked to return. The great Zach Peterson will be closing out all of these shows! Get tix.
And after Denver, it’s back to NYC!!! Soooo, if you live anywhere in the area of The Kansas, Cali, Colorado Tour, PLEASE come to a show. And if you don’t, PLEASE spread the word to anybody you know in any of these places who you think would enjoy what I do. I appreciate you all!!! Be well amidst the insanity!!!
Love,
JFOD
