Korte Yeo is the man...

From the Comedy Studio's Kvetch Board...

User: Korte
Subject: Sean "Napalm" Sullivan
Body: ...is a lunatic.

The highlight of the day for me was watching Sean unload like he was in a peak manic mode.
Tape submission to BCF? $35
Buffalo chicken salad and a rootbeer at the Vault? $12
The look on the sound guy's face when Sean kicked the mic stand over?
...Priceless.
Holy shit ...that was fucking great. The most I saw this one judge laugh all night was when you said, "I'm not going to let you guys (pointing) decide my fate with your not laughing enough, I'm going to fail as a result of my own poor decisions...FUCK it. I don't care, I'm gonna fly this plane right into the side of the mountain."


Thanks to everybody who came out and congrats to Stan Chen for moving on.

Boston Comedy Festival

Tonight marks the beginning of a week long comedy festival in Boston known coincidentally enough as the Internation Boston Comedy and Movie Festival. It's a week long thingy that's going to be fun/draining/inspiring/depressing. Who knows. Here are the highlights and where you can find me all week. Pay particular attention to Thursday because that's when I was assigned to do what I do. Go to www.bostoncomedyfestival.com for more details...

MONDAY
8pm- The Vault- Robby Roadsteamer and Friends $15 (Robby is really good at breaking shit so if you like to see shit get broke, then come down)

THURSDAY
10pm- The Vault- Contest Preliminary 8 $15 (this is the round I'm rocking. If you came that would be awesome. If you came and laughed, that would be even better. There are 19 grammatical errors including tense and speling in this last parenthesis.)

FRIDAY
8pm and 10pm- The Vault- Contest Semi-Finals $15 (will I see you there? I don't know yet. Ask me Friday morning. If I answer the phone weeping, then no. If I answer teh phone weeping, then yes.)
Midnight- Improv Asylum- The Walsh Brothers Comedy Festival Show $10 (The Walsh Bros. are easily my favorite act in Boston and you're retarded if you disagree.)

SATURDAY
6pm- The Park Plaza $40- SOAP STARS! (From the website. I'm not making this up. "Come see two of "All My Children's" hottest soap stars. Vincent Irizarry and Cameron Mathison will thrill and entertain with stories from behind the soap. There is also a "Q & A" session and photo opportunites.")
8pm- Berklee Performance Center- Contest Finals $30 (wait? $30 for the finals? what the fuck is going on?)

So if you have about a million dollars to spend on comedy, this would be a pretty good week to do it. If not... wow... this shit is pretty expensive. I'm sorry.
