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.

Myq Kaplan’s twitter is non-stop funny

When I do morning radio to promote a show, there’s always the Morning Zoo guy, and out of one side of his mouth he’ll say, “You know, normally I don’t think chicks are funny, but you’re pretty funny.” To which, I always say, “Really? Would you say that to a black person, “Normally I’d think you were lazy and shiftless, but you seem to work hard?”” And they always just go to commercial.

"I've learned a lot from working with Chris [Rock], like having a work ethic as a standup, which is something a lot of comedians don't think they need — like, really thinking of it as an Olympic athlete, 'How great can I be?'"~ Louis C.K.

Louis C.K. has been a comedic force to be reckoned w/ in the past couple years

One day I will read Larry Wilmore's book. "I'd rather we got casino's." Hilarious story behind that title by the way. This is a good time to use my B&N membership...

Whispers In The Wind

Damion: It must be nice to be finished [w/ higher learning].
Me: It is but I always have this nagging feeling that I need to go back.
Damion: Hm?
Me: This nagging feeling often manifests itself in the form of every older Nigerian I meet.
Damion: lol
Me: ...at least once a week

Everybody in comedy wants to be cool, but they don’t realize that just being funny is cool

Chris Rock (paraphrase)

Odinaka had a dream where he was offered crack but upon offering, the offerer, didn’t want to admit it was crack that she was offering me. Then I woke up. The moral of the story is, ‘Crack kills dreams!’

Declaration to Tumblr

Look, I know you’ve probably heard about my other jealous blogs on myspace, facebook and blogger but they ain’t got nothin on you, shawty. Myspace was my main thing til I ran into you. But they just don’t have the sex appeal you have or none of that. Don’t worry, your spot is solidified. Just don’t go crazy on me, cuz I will choke a blog—pronto. Betchu didn’t know I had a lil Wayne Brady in me, did you? Alot of folks don’t. I’ll be back to stroke your keys later, keep em warm for me alright.

Love,

Odinaka
