Asheville CD Recording & Late Night TV debut this week…& more stuff!

Bunch of things going on in the next few weeks so I thought I’d try to put it all in once place. The 03′ Ford Focus odometer is up to 330,500 so I’m hoping it all works out.

This Friday/Saturday I’m recording my debut solo album “Smiling at Wolves” in Asheville, NC at the Lexington Avenue Brewery – one show each night at 9. I hope you’ll come out if you’re in the Asheville area! Tickets are still available through eventbrite.com, and walk ups are welcome.

Interview here for show in the Mountain Xpress!

John Oliver’s New York Stand Up Show

I’m excited to tape a set for Season 4 of John Oliver’s New York Stand Up show on June 4th at Webster Hall (in Greenwich Village)! The line ups were just announced – along with free tickets to the live tapings – and are available here: http://www.theblacklistnyc.com/johnoliver

Several of my personal favorites are on the show so I’m sure it will great if you have the opportunity to come out.

New stand-up clip – Andrew Jackson

Some new stand up video content for the internet universe to disperse accordingly. The topic is Andrew Jackson and why I think he’d make for a better movie than Lincoln.

NYC Week – Day 1

Day 1 visiting NYC. Crowded. Easter. Gay Turkish man sitting next to me at coffee shop just told me, “Happy Zombie Jesus day.” Grounded myself by watching Battlestar Gallactica, season 4 episode 1. Seemed more confusing than usual.

Arrived last night via Ford Focus. Took 81 to 78 to 95, through Manhattan, over Queensboro Bridge. I’m writing this so that I remember it, not because it’s interesting. Astoria has lots of parking, which is strange. Upon arrival I immediately did a show in the living room of the apartment I’m staying at. The show was packed – dare I say a full house. Second apartment show I’ve done in the same month, and also the second apartment show I’ve done in the same month, AT the apartment I was staying.

Perhaps a new niche? Joe Z, the Apartment Comic. Joe’s casual, laid back style, and comfort rummaging through refrigerators that aren’t his, make him the perfect fit for all of your living space show needs. It doesn’t just stop at apartments. He also plays condos, duplexes, basements, rooftops, mansions, hotel rooms, forts, condos, cabins, and tree-houses! Joe will make your living space, THE place to be!
