Ok, I know this blog is about Charlotte comedy but it’s time for a shameless plug! My Jersey Shore parody t-shirt, the Gui J Hero shirt, got featured on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon blog! Click on the picture to read the entire blog post.
Special thanks to Cory Cavin, a native Charlottean, Carolina grad, and blogger for Jimmy Fallon. Check out his blog Uncle Mustache.
Sorry about the delay on this post. I had to make room for the hilarious interview with Todd Yohn. Make sure to check that out if you haven’t already.
This week, our novice comedians are trying their original material out for the very first time. Professor Johnny Millwater discusses common mistakes of inexperienced comedians.
Special thanks to Johnny Millwater and the Lake Norman Comedy Zone.
My interview with 25-year stand-up comedy veteran, Todd Yohn. Todd describes his style as “your dad on acid” and after watching this interview, you’ll understand why.
I like a spontaneous rave/foam party as much as the next guy but sometimes they can get out of hand.
I just spent the weekend playing Red Dead Redemption. The game is amazing to say the least.
It’s got everything you could want in a videogame: gunslingers, high-stakes poker, duels at high-noon, saloon whores, cannibals, explosions, top hats, honky-tonk pianos, crazy old-timers, handlebar mustaches…basically all the stuff that made America great in the early 1900s.
I highly recommend playing it.

You have no idea how long I’ve waited to use that headline. Native Charlottean and Olympic Gold Medalist Ricky Berens returned to the Queen City to compete in Charlotte’s UtraSwim.
Despite his gold medal, Ricky is most well known for having his high-tech, ultra-tight swimsuit split down the back as he swam bare-assed and still helped the US win the race. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is. Kudos, Ricky…kudos.
Thanks to the Charlotte Observer for the pics.
Introducing the latest batch of students enrolled in the Comedy Zone Comedy School.

Two weeks ago, some mischievous d-bag lopped off the head and hands of a praying Virgin Mary statue at St. Matthew Catholic Church.
Word to the vandal, if you’re going to Bart Simpson a statue, don’t make it the Virgin Mary.
If you’re pulling a prank, you make it a challenge and get the crown out of Queen Charlotte’s hand at Charlotte/Douglas International. Don’t you know anything?
Props to Stone Restoration of America who repaired the statue for free.
