Kyle Kinane is my pal and one of my favorite up and coming-type comics. Please enjoy this Kinanimation of one of the tracks from his new album “Death of the Party,” then go trade money for it at AST Records or iTunes.

PS – This is effing hilarious.

Here’s where it all started. On Christmas Day in 1981, my parents gave me the gift of an official Andy Gibb wireless microphone that played through any standard radio. My act is slightly less dirty than it was back then, but the passion to tell jokes to strangers with an amplification device remains.

I will doing this very thing at Comix in NYC tonight and tomorrow at 8 & 10:30. Please join myself and special guests Jonah Ray (of Web Soup & Nerdist Podcast) and God’s Pottery. This show will be amazing. And afterward we will all hug you.

Check out Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight! I’m nerding out on it.

I do enjoy flying Virgin. And no, they’re not paying me to say that. I don’t know why the red barf bags make me happy but they just do. I guess it’s just that the company thinks through every little detail to deliver a unique experience with their handprint on it. Well done, Branson. (Sir Richard, not Missouri)

Fortunately I do not feel the urge to soil them with my barf.

I’ve been pals with Jon for a couple of years now and he is as gracious as he is talented and funny. Here’s an example: After we recorded this episode I tried to hijack him into doing a quick sketch for Web Soup in the bathroom. I KNOW I KNOW it sounds terrible. Jon, who I later discovered was late for something, was actually going to do it anyway. When I realized (fortunately) that my idea was stupid and I was taking advantage of his time I immediately released him of any further obligation, BUT HE REALLY WOULD HAVE DONE IT.  That’s how far down the niceness hole Jon Hamm goes. That sentence was unintentionally filthy but I would nonetheless like you to join me in a rousing round of applause for Jon right now, whatever else you may be doing.

Incidentally ‘Niceness Hole’ was the name of my anime cosplay band.

Number 5: Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm discusses his lost SNL sketch, Chris doesn’t understand how beards work, Jonah is a star-maker and Matt likes the Dave Matthews Band.

Now THIS, good people, is the textbook definition of “lemonade” from that irritating saying about lemons. Professional Australian Christiaan Van Vuuren has apparently been placed under strict quarantine due to TB. To cope with the isolation, he started making music videos in his hospital room under the name Fully Sick Rapper.

Good on ya, mate! And let this be a lesson to all of you lazy creatives with no excuse for not making stuff! It’s like my grandpappy always said, “Don’t wait until you get TB to make cool shit.” He was prophetic that way.

Follow Christiaan’s medical steeplechase at @FullySickRapper on Twitter or see his other “keeping insanity at bay” vids on his youtube page.

Grace! Charm! Wit!

Showing up to accept a Razzie right before the Oscars? C’mown! Get outta my heart already!! Sandra, or “Lady Tom Hanks” as I like to think of her, kicks much ass.

I nominate Sandy as America’s girlfriend.

If you’re in LA, direct yourself to the Improv on Melrose tonight, March 6th, for two shows at 7:30 & 9:30. I’ll be headlining with support from a pile of great comics. Come by. Bring your favorite portable electronic device so I can tag it with my name.

A plucky New Zealand manufacturer is about to start selling jet packs to people for $75,000. So far no license is required and they can propel humans up to a mile in the air at 60 mph.
