Thirteen days ago I played Stanley Kowalski in a sketch referencing the play set in New Orleans, "A Streetcar Named Desire." The very next day, Hurricane...
"Are you on tonight, Eric?" Ken Reid asked. Eric was visiting the Comedy Studio on a Saturday night as a change of pace from the typical Saturday night...
After last week'sexperiment in the third person (what's next film script format??), I decided to hang out in the Boston Common. It was the Freedom Rally aka...
Life isn't like the movies. In fact, if you read a script for the week to come and then live the life of that week, you'll find it's more like the cover of...
Wacky Wednesdays at The Office is, in fact, on for tonight at 9:30pm. Go check it out. It's on Broad St. across from the place and around the corner from...
Two weeks ago, Dick Doherty was co-headlining his room at the Vault. I missed the show that week, but last Saturday I went to the Vault for the first time in...
Despite the fact that it's been raining enough to remember why I hate umbrellas (whoever invented it didn't finish, it's made of shoddy materials arranged in a...
When you hope for the best, prepare for the worst and everything will seem alright. I went to the Studio with the intention of making a tape to show the...
I'm not sure if it was the first time this happened but, right now, it's the only time I can remember. I was bombing hard at the Vault...no, not for the first...
There were parting comics on Saturday night. I should say there were partying comics. That meant that not only was I running the door at the Vault, but I was...
I try to limit mid-week emails, but there's been an unusual amount of interest in, especially, the Thursday show this week at the Comedy Studio. If anyone...
The danger when bringing up your birthday is you'll sound like an egocentric fool. It's impossible not to. So you just smile and appreciate the love that...
I returned to Boston and got to the Vault later than I usually do, with no reasonable expectation of stagetime. Mike Whitman was hosting and Jonesy was up...
Three years ago, I borrowed my dad's copy of Tower of Power's "East Bay Grease" to score a video I was editing. It was ironic, since it was a gift I gave him...
I got back to Boston on Saturday and went to Matt Wininger's show at the Reel Bar to support the show. I was lucky and got a spot on the show. I was up third...
Nobody else wanted to host. Some wanted to leave early, others simply didn't feel up to it, so I did what I go to the Vault for. I hosted. But before I did...
Fifty-two weeks. Fifty-two weeks from last Saturday my Grandma died. And last Saturday, three-hundred sixty-four days later, Richard Pryor died. On both...
I went to the Vault in hopes of hosting, but it didn't happen. I got the next best thing though. I got a relatively flexible amount of time for my set in the...
Well Eric, this was an interesting year wasn't it? A year ago you thought about the lyric that states that life is what happens when you're busy making other...
Eric looked over his last issue of the year and clicked "Send." Though not quite up to par with the previous year-in-review, it was after all in the second...
I decided to walk from the T to the Mt. Auburn Shaw's at the Watertown/Cambridge line. When I got there, I decided I would definitely take the bus to the T on...
Tonight I'll be hosting there with Ken Reid, Chris Oake, Amanda Beals, Chris Fleming, Barry Kneller, Jimmy Wahl, and WXLO's Steve Donovan headlining. It's a...
In retrospect the directions actually made sense. But that didn't mean I wouldn't get slightly lost on the way to the Dockside. I knew this would happen, so...
Previously: I actually had a good set at the Green Dragon. I was apathetic to when I'd go on, it'd either be second or fifth, I wanted to make sure I got on,...
It's happened for at least the last couple of weeks. The Friday show at the Vault sharply contrasted with the Saturday show. Last week the Friday show was...
And the contrasts continued. I wrote my issue early last week to go to Sterling to visit my family. Growing up, I knew so many people with birthdays in...
I wasn't as much a tourist as I thought I'd be this week. On Saturday, I walked to the Thirsty Ear Pub. If you walk down Sixth Street, until it becomes other...
I'm glad I settled on using words ilke "probably" to describe the likelihood of my appearances at open mics around town. I spent most of Saturday celebrating...
I write these things purely from memory. I will keep things in mind throughout the week, like recurring themes or possible titles that would fit the week, but...
