Fresno video from Tokyo Gardens - Sat Sept 17th

Most of Fresno is a shit hole. But it has cool people that always come out to our comedy shows.  When I do show's with the  "Convicts of Comedy" tour, we usually get to the town early to promote the show and check things out. We went to Fresno State, "Me and Ed's Pizza" and walked around the Tower District. Here is a short, weird, video of us doing that. 

*on a side note,  Sept 17th was the 20th anniversary of the release of Guns N Roses "Use Your Illusion I and II.  
I forgot to mention it on stage, (I'm sure the crowd was crushed)  But I did play both albums in my car on the drive to Fresno and back to L.A.  So at least my passengers got to enjoy it.  I know I did!

Next weekend we are in San Francisco at the Comedy Cellar.  Saturday, Sept 24th, 2011. If you want to find me after the show I will probably be sleeping in the street or in the van.  See ya then!

Bellvedere Lounge in Bakersfield

We had another great show this past Saturday at the "Bellvedere Lounge" in Bakersfield, CA.

Bakersfield has awesome crowds and we love going there to put on shows.  It was a wild mix of Bikers, Cowboys and Pool Hustlers that all came together to catch the "Convicts of Comedy show.
Special thanks to Sissy, Lyman and the rest of the gang, who always make us feel welcome.  It was great to see everyone and we will definitely be coming back!

The Church from "November Rain".

In the next week I will be posting a new video of the church from the "November Rain" video.  Alot of Guns N Roses fans talk about the location of the church and its significance in the collection of killer Guns N Roses videos.   Very few people know what church it is and where to find it. I myself became very frustrated when trying to find out where it was.  I would search online for it, and nobody seemed to have any real answers.  And most people online seem to waste time arguing back and forth about the church in the desert that Slash does his guitar solo in front of. We all know that church is in New Mexico.  I'm talking about the one that Axl and Stephanie Seymour get married in.  After watching the video a thousand times, I managed to put the pieces together and figured out the location.  I will have a video tour of it up soon.  I posted a current picture above.
