Did you know BJ Novak from The Office is a stand-up comedian? He plays “Ryan”…the MBA student now at corporate. I haven’t seen him yet…but I’m going tonight. The Hollywood Improv has a promo code for free tix. Go to their website and enter FUNNY when you buy the tickets. They say it’s free…but it’s actually $2.50…whatever. Check it out…I’ll be there with my girlfriend.

UPDATE: JUST CALLED THE IMPROV - They are sold out for the 8pm show tonight. Not sure if they will accept the code for 10pm tomorrow…but try. He’s there 10pm tonight and 8pm and 10pm tomorrow.

P.S. In the spirit of self-cross promotion (I think I just made that term up), my run as President of Shelf Shark is coming to end…so I’m in the market for a new job. If you, a friend, a colleague, etc. needs a business savvy, revenue generating, creative character…let me know. On here I say I don’t know anything about anything…but I may know a few things about somethings. I do have other experiences and qualifications besides this blog…and inventing phrases like “self-cross promotion”…check them out:
Thanks!

I don’t really agree with the Improv giving away free tickets to all of their shows…but hey…I’ll write my business analysis of their clubs in a different post. In the mean…what the hell…might as well see great comedy for no cost:

TONIGHT:
Hollywood Improv - 10pm, Get tickets online and use promo code: COMIC
Bill Burr
Marc Maron
Owen Benjamin
Nick Thune
Neal Brennan
Andrew Solmssen
This is a pretty good line-up and for free…you should check it out. Especially if you can’t make the 8pm Whip It Out show. Bill Burr is hilarious…his take on black people and white people is great. I’ve only seen Maron on Comedy Central…and since you can’t judge a comedian by TV (I hope everyone knows that…that’s a cardinal rule…they censor them like you wouldn’t believe)…I won’t judge. Owen is funny…and Thune’s musings are great…”At what point were there too many birds…and a shortage of rocks on the planet. No…No…No…use one rock…and try to kill two birds.”

THIS WEEKEND:
Ontario Improv - Sounds like all weekend if you can. Call the box office and use the promo code: HILARIOUS 909-484-5411
Headliner: Aries Spears
Since it’s free…I’ll say go ahead and check it out…because he’s pretty damn funny. You remember him from MAD TV. I wish I knew the rest of the line-up. It would suck if the rest of the line-up sucked…or they threw up 10 comedians. Can someone let me know if they go…I’m not haulin’ out to the 909 for this one.
