Here we are, in the month that I spell incorrectly every single time.

I only spelt it correctly at the top of the blog because I looked at the calendar…I think it’s the UA combination that makes it look like a more complicated word than it actually is…yeah that’s gotta be it, I’ll blame letter combinations.

Thanks to everyone that came out to shows in January, headling in Hamilton at the beggining of the month, everyone that came to the album taping, and Febrautty looks to be another great show month with alot of travel.

I’m very excited to be at the San Francisco Sketch fest this year check out sfsketchfest.com for tickets if you’re there from Feb 6-11.

Here’s what I got goin on this month, and also I just booked my headlining weekend at the downtown Toronto Yuk Yuk’s Club for the week of July 3rd, keep it open I’d love to see some fans and listeners of the podcast out!

Welcome everyone to January!

I say that like I’M some how the HOST of January, I don’t OWN January so if you have any problems with the month I’m not the guy to come to… I dont know who owns the months….the government? Pepsi? Someone find out and let me know.

December was a great month for shows, had some great shows, had one of the worst I’ve ever done. What a roller coaster.

But I’m excited for what Januararry (Spelling!?) has to hold.

Most importantly I’m recording a new album on the 19th at Comedy Bar.

All new material not on my TV special which I’ve been bustin my ass to polish up and get ready for the big day…it makes it sound less fun and entertaining when I say I’ve been “busting my ass” on my material- but its a FUN ass busting, otherwise why the hell would I be doing this if I wasn’t having a good time with it, ya know?

Here’s some dates in January I hope you’ll bust YOUR ass to come out to…then sit back and relax and leave the rest of the ass busting to ME.

Alright, it’s winter I get it.

It’s colder, my skin looks like beef jerky and entering and leaving a home takes an extra 15 minutes of winter boot application and removal time.

November was a great month, tons of fun shows, did some screen tests for some exciting TV things which I hope to god pans out- Also I’m very excited to announce I’ll be at the 2013 San Francisco Sketch/Comedy Festival in January! I’ll post the dates soon.

Currently I’m writing this in the arctic tundra that is Edmonton, I just landed this afternoon, ate, and now I’m gonna pass the shit out cause I’m tired….like “travel” tired though.

I don’t know why just travelling is so exhausting it’s not like I’m powering the plane with my body, all morning I’ve literally just sat in difference means of transportation while they moved- but some how I feel like I’ve just bench pressed a giant sack of expired roast beef.

Maybe planes are actually fueled by human skin cells and that’s why we’re all so exhausted after flights…uh I’m starting to sound insane…or like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory.

If you’re not too exhausted in December come see me at a show! Here’s the dates.

DECEMBER 7-8- Yuk Yuk’s Edmonton at the Century Casino- 8pm and 10pm

DECEMBER 9th- Going to Hell Sundays with Derek Sweet- Calgary- 8pm

DECEMBER 10th- Comedy Monday Nights- Calgary- 8pm

DECEMBER 12th- Jupiter Lounge Comedy with Eric Steele and Noor Kidwai- Calgary- 8pm

DECEMBER  13-15- Yuk Yuk’s Calgary at the Elbow River Casino- 8pm and 10pm

DECEMBER 18- The Rvioli Toronto- 9pm

DECEMBER 31- Hosting Bramptons Downtown New Years Eve Party at the Rose Theatre
