Tomorrow night on IFC, the sketch comedy group, The Whitest Kids U' Know, starts their third season. I'm a big fan of sketch comedy and I found this show last year with my wife, Lynn, while surfing channels. Think of TWUK as a crass American and more scatological and immature version of The Kids in the Hall. Both groups have 5 male members and both often play female characters by dressing in drag. And like David Foley of KitH, Darren Trumeter of TWUK looks rather nice as a girl...
If you don't mind some gross out humor, lots of cursing (IFC doesn't censor), and penis jokes then I suggest you give this show a try. Here's a sneak peak -

My video past, part I
As stated earlier I am in the process of digitizing my old VHS tapes that contained the sketch comedy and home movies that I made in college and high school.
So without further fanfare, here's a sketch I wrote and directed called, "Sight Reading Theater", for a University of Maryland produced TV show called, Nitelife U. It's the best production values of anything I've made obviously since we were using top notch equipment for the time.
In the next few weeks I'll be posting even more stuff from my video past. Enjoy!

Looking to preserve my comedic history
Most of my friends and family consider me to be funny (and obnoxious). My best material is often ad-libbed zingers in social settings.
However, once upon a time, I actually wrote and performed sketch comedy and I even had a stand-up routine. Eventually, I think my nerves and mental disorder got the best of me, plus I never did push hard enough to get anywhere with my comedic "abilities".
As my regular blog readers know, I have been doing alot of reflection towards my past lately. Thus recently, it's occurred to me that I should start transferring all of my comedic works from VHS tapes to digital. Of course I can't seem to get the damned video capture device to work, but I will figure it out sooner or later. I may be in my 30's but I some rudimentary knowledge of how a computer operates!
Oh, and when I do, I'll start uploading the stuff to this here blog.
Won't that be fun?!
You can all marvel as to how skinny I was and wonder if I've been eating jars of frosting all these years.
You can make fun of me all you want- just don't say I'm not funny. I don't think I can take that.
