I’m going to do a little “housekeeping” tonight (as in get some FYI type things out there, not necessarily keeping houses, though I do have some from my Monopoly set).
First, I want to point a new section on my blog called “Best of Blog.” Here you’ll find some of my favorite posts from the blog, highlighting either funny comedy premises, good reviews, or just something I thought was a top quality post. Feel free to let me know if there are other posts you think should be included, and I’ll add them to the list.
Second, tomorrow marks a pretty big day for me. There’s not anything particularly special about April 23, but it does mark my return to stand-up comedy after a 3 month hiatus. I had put stand-up on hold to concentrate on getting more things done for Smarty Pants, and have decided it’s now time to return to the scene. (A big reason for the return is that there are a few competitions coming up – more details to follow soon).
Luckily this blog has allowed me to continue writing material, and now I just have to weed through the extra words and find the stand-up quality material to work into my set. Some of the posts in the aforementioned “Best Of” will undoubtedly make to the stage, where we’ll see if they are as funny as I think they are.
Tomorrow’s set isn’t anything special, just an open mic at Snooker’s. I’ll likely do all old material just to get back into the swing of things, but I’ll be sure to post a review once it’s done.
Finally, be on the lookout for some new features coming to the blog/website (like actually having content!). The two big ones coming soon are a way to sign up for the drew tarvin newsletter (oooh, fancy) and an events calendar that lists Smarty Pants and stand-up events.
