two thirty in the morning is as good a time as any to make this announcement:
it looks like i’ve got myself a june sublet, so as of 06/01, i will begin step one in Operation NY AKA Back To The Motherland.
This might be better looking than it is funny, but I had fun making it.
on may 17, 2012, saucier & i pulled our first late-nighter at fellini’s, after a super fun open mic at relapse theatre and a surprisingly fun party at another comic’s house.
on may 17, 2013, saucier and i held the fifth SHAKE. i don’t want to say “final” because we’re definitely going to do this again. it’s a little crazy how well we work together, how similar our sensibilities are. you don’t let magic like that end just because someone got a wild hair up her ass to move to new york, people.
Andy Sandford Website: my favorite show
I am on the road right now in my hometown of Atlanta. I had a great weekend of shows at Laughing Skull Lounge, but I was most looking forward to Monday night. Every Monday night for the last 10 years or so, at a little dive bar in Atlanta’s “bohemian” neighborhood, little 5 points; there is a…
my first set was at the star bar. 09.07.2009. that room, quite simply, is the best.
the last SHAKE for the foreseeable future is this friday, 05/17/2013.
here’s the flyer for the next SHAKE show. it’ll be the last one for a minute, but it will continue. believe that.
what is it about maria bamford that makes me have a great time on stage? i dunno but it happened again tonight. AND she was joined by the amazing jackie kashian, a comedy powerhouse. i wish that my brain was half as fast as kashian’s.
i did guest spots on both shows tonight and had a blast and for just a few minutes any doubt i had about moving disappeared. comedy’s the best.
then i walked out to a flat tire on my car but you know what? comedy’s still the best.
The Beards of Comedy Are Going Solo
The very funny facial hair themed comedy quartet of Andy Sanford, Dave Stone, Joe Zimmerman, and TJ Young, better known as The Beards of Comedy, are parting ways amicably to pursue solo projects. However, they have a last few dates if you want to catch them before any of them will possibly go beardless (and you happen to be in North Carolina or Georgia).
Either way, you should check The Beards of Comedy and Andy, Dave, Joe, and TJ separately where you can.
the beardy boys are calling it quits, as a unit. i’m doing a guest set on one of the saturday night atlanta shows, which will just be me sitting in a rocking chair while end of the road by boyz II men plays softly.
for real, though - these guys have been the brightest beacon to me as i started comedy and i look forward to cheering them on in their new adventures.
Kevin Saucier, lion tamer.
