I will be hosting 4 shows as part of the Holiday Triple Header at Annex. The Comedy Fist Fight will be an evening of phrase-off’s involving Seattle’s amazing performance community along with prize give-aways and other nonsense. It will be wedged between a puppetshow and a play about a gang war between nuns and priests. Good times will be had.
“The phrase off” is a jokewriting competition in which two competitors are given the first half of a phrase and a few hours to finish it. A panel of audience judges decides which phrase is funnier in a best 3 out of 5 competition. My good friend Chas and I came up with the idea during a night out when Chas stated how lazy his dick was. We went back and forth for hours
My dick is so lazy…
it got fired from a blowjob
it gets a soft on
it doesn’t nail chicks but occasionally it thumbtacks a girl
…that is how lazy my dick is.
after hours of this we came up with rules and I started hosting “phrase offs” around town and at Laffhole.
They are always a good time please enjoy this example featuring comedians Ross Parsons and Dan Carroll.
Seattle’s Annex Theatre is one of my favorite places to perform. When they asked me to take part in Not Pants!, a story telling showcase with a story of its’ own, I was delighted.
I will be telling true stories of my youthful misadventures on the Friday the 13th and Friday the 20th that may or may not involve witchcraft, my deflowering and the KGB. Each show will have a handful of some of Seattle’s finest performers. Please consider attending and supporting live performance.
