On January 1, 2009, I started an experiment to write one new joke every day for at least one year. As 2009 rolled forward, the universe proceeded to deal me a series of events that left me with no lack of inspiration for new material. Most of these jokes have found their way into my on-stage routine, and most of them have become staples of my act.

Now that I have made it through my first year, my focus has shifted from quantity to quality. I still update with new jokes, just not on my original every frickin' day deadline. Please feel free to grade these jokes, and heckle them. If a joke gets heckled enough, I will go back and make them better. I want to make sure my audience gets their money's worth, even though this is a free service.

She's the reason I'm starting to suck.

The new year is really looking good so far. I met a great girl recently. She's smart, beautiful, sexy, we have tons in common, and we get along wonderfully. All of this seems to be adding up to one very sobering truth: my comedy career is fucking over! See, I write jokes based on my own personal experiences, and heretofore that has relied heavily on a very specific level of misery. I don't know if I have it in me to be both happy and funny at the same time.

And for my closer, I'm gonna shake my keys for three minutes straight

Last night I experienced my worst crowd since I started doing stand up. It was like performing for a special needs daycare right after nap time.

Am I right? Ladies?

Doing stand-up, it's very difficult to avoid all those hack clichés that have been done over and over again. So, I'm gonna get them all out of my system in one fell swoop:

Ever notice how white guys are always leaving the toilet seat up? Particularly after eating airline food and driving slow in the fast lane? That guy must be on crack... Or Mexican. Typical.

That's my time, folks!

There are three worst case scenarios for Stand-up Comics: First is death on stage, where no one is laughing at your material. Second is literal death on stage, because, well, you're dead. But the worst, I would imagine, is near death on stage. Because how are you gonna top having a heart attack? The audience would then be expecting that from you every time!
