Fun at Umu Igbo Unite 1st Annual Gala Night!

Was invited to fly down to Atlanta last weekend to perform as part of Umu Igbo Unite’s (UIU) 1st Annual Gala Night.

Was a tough crowd but after some bobbing and weaving, we worked it out and by night’s end everyone had a great time.  The evening was filled with singers, dancers, a mini fashion show and a packed hall of young Igbo men and women dressed to impress.

The good folks of UIU were even gracious enough to offer me ad space in this year’s brochure so I hit up my designer buddy, Chris Nunn to work some of his magic for me. Voila:

Definitely glad I could be a part of the event, only regret is I didn’t have more time to chill w/ my ATL peeps while in town.  Better luck next time, I guess.  Now it’s back to the imaginary spring of the Windy City.

Since “Two & A Half Men” is gone CBS has decided to air a new sitcom dealing with fractions. This fall Damon Wayans stars in the 1700s sitcom, “3/5 Of A Person!

Went to a tea party with my my boy Jeff and lived to youtube it. We were posing as College Republicans interested in learning more about the party and thus Jeff was supposed to be my white decoy who would make it easier for me to talk to these folks. I think he got a little over zealous though and you can tell by his cut off shirt and flowing chest hair.  Anyway, I think we made some frenemies.  Watch.

Running With Scissors Show

I hope y’all got the take home message of the above. If you’re ever running and there are scissors in your hand, JUST-PUT-THEM-DOWN! Leave the dangerous stuff to us.

Every first Thursday of the month I’ll be putting together the Running with Scissors Show at Estoria (East Atlanta, Cabbagetown to be specific) showcasing the A’s deep variety of comedy talent.

RWS

Estoria is already a cool hang out that’ll be a cool new place for comedy too.  Our first run of the show was in the beginning of October and we had a great turn out.  Hoping for a good second go!  Our next show is Thursday, November 5th

727 Wylie St, Atlanta, Ga

I’ll be hosting a real funny group of cats:

Andy Sanford- 1/4 of the Beards of Comedy and a brilliant comedy writer

Eric McGee- Super laid back.  Feeds the audience jokes like an IV- very subtle

Justin Morgan- Class president of Atlanta comedy.  You’ll want to watch for him.

Karen Hilton- Just pay attention and you’ll be rolling in no time.  One word, clever.

Matt Pharr- Some of the best stories on and off stage. I’ve never not been  entertained by Matt Pharr

Sean Wilkinson- Running With Scissors will be proud to have this funny guy from Boston as our guest for the evening.

Tanner Inman- Tanner is part of a comedy group called The Lost Comics and their tagline is, “Like seeing stand up comedy for the first time.”  That’s better than i could have said it.

SAVE EYEDRUM!

I’ll be hosting a small crew of hilarious folks:
April Boddy… Does comedy good (see what I did there) 
Cris Gray… The other token meat
Dan Weeks… The face of Shark Week
Eric McGee… Bringing light skinned back one joke at a time.
The Gallois Bros… Funnier than the Mario bros in every way
Zaurito… How to speak Russian in 10 minutes
