PooTube
I have set up a youtube account! It took me several hours to figure out what a mere child could do in minutes. BEHOLD... http://www.youtube.com/user/SHolmesComedy
It's not super impressive at first glance but if you look closely you'll notice that I'm featured in all of the videos I've favorited. So pop a bag of popcorn and snuggle up in front of your computer for atleast 10 minutes of mild amusement.
More videos to come once I have mastered the art of the "camera".

J/K
"And then I was like, well you weren't drunk when you posted up my pic on facebook. And she put the caption 'these aren't her real boobs'. And I was like sort of flashing in the picture but not really. So I was like, 'OMG', and then she was like, 'I was totally J/K'."
I really wanted to push her onto the tracks...

Chris Brown's Latest Hit
The whole Chris Brown and Rihanna situation make me sad. I know a lot of girls who say things like "a man hits me once...he only hits me once". But, I think it's probably really easy to say things like that when you're on the outside looking in. Rihanna is probably really confused and scared right now.
That's why if I was giving Rihanna advice I would tell her to take some time to look at the situation. Take a big step back and ask yourself some important questions.
Does he really love you?
Does he really love you?
Do you really think he won't do it again?
Did you do something to provoke him?
Do you think you could maybe just not do that thing anymore?
Where you "asking" for it (either figuratively or literally)?
Was he trying to teach you a lesson?
Did you learn a lesson?
I heard that this whole thing started over a text message he received from another girl. Where you not making yourself available to him sexually?
Some things to think about...
Also, if I could give some advice to Rihanna it would be to actually call the cops and not fake it. Because then he's even madder...and when he done beating you, there are no cops.
THIS WEEK'S SHOWS
- Yesterday (just as every Monday) I was at Europa. The band, "The Black Smokers" were AWESOME! Seriously, if you haven't seen this show yet you really should. EVERY MONDAY at 8pm at Europa in Greenpoint BK!
- THIS WED. 3/11~ I have an audition on the Wednesday night show at Stand Up NY! If it goes well I could get way more spots at a really great club! So if you're free come and check out the 8pm show! 78th and Broadway
- Friday's show at the Playwright's Tavern is cancelled this week. Sorry Chickadees. Come next week and I'll blow your mind.

Forgiveness
Over the weekend Siegfried and Roy performed there last ever illusion, and featured in the act was the tiger that attacked Roy in 2003, causing severe injuries.
Inspired by Roy's spirit of forgiveness and willingness to perform with something that has hurt him, this Friday ONE NIGHT ONLY you can catch me performing side by side with a piece of cheesecake.
Crunk Aint Dead
So recently a friend of mine confessed to me that she is a recovering alcoholic. While trying to gauge my own potential I asked her what the warning signs are. She said that you must answer "yes" to three questions on a 20 questionnaire. This seems really simple... Let's give it a try.
1. Do you lose time from work due to your drinking
I am a stand up comedian...I work 5 minutes a day. I can hold it together for 5 minutes.
2. Is drinking making your home life unhappy?
If anything it's made it happier
3. Do you drink because you are shy with other people?
Doesn't everyone?
4. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
Nah...I'm slutty when I'm drunk, I'm slutty when I'm sober.
5. Have you ever felt remorse after drinking?
If you don't feel remorse after being drunk...then you didn't do it right.
6. Have you gotten into financial difficulties as a result of your drinking?
I don't buy drinks...that's what boobs are for.
7. Do you turn to lower companions and an inferior environment when drinking?
Yes, I hang out with sleazy people when I'm drunk. Those are the best people to be drunk with.
8. Does your drinking make you careless of your family's welfare?
Well I don't have any kids...but I think in general I am careless of my family's welfare.
9. Has your ambition decreased since drinking?
No, just that nagging voice that says "you can do anything".
10. Do you crave a drink at a definite time daily?
Yes, drinking time.
11. Do you want a drink the next morning?
That's why God invented Mimosas
12. Does drinking cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
After drinking I usually fall right into a deep almost unconscious sleep.
13. Has your efficiency decreased since drinking?
It decreases WHILE I'm drinking.
14. Is drinking jeopardizing your job or business?
I'm a stand up comic...
15. Do you drink to escape from worries or troubles?
Of course
16. Do you drink alone?
Only if I can't find anyone to drink with me.
17. Have you ever had a complete loss of memory as a result of your drinking?
Not complete
18. Has your physician ever treated you for drinking?
I don't have health insurance.
19. Do you drink to build up your self-confidence?
Is there a better reason to drink?
20.Have you ever been in a hospital or institution on account of drinking?
Again, no health insurance.
