Once again back is the incredible…a sketch a week. This time, two!
Ash Wednesday / Safety First
One thing I’m learning from this endeavor is that I immediately have notes for myself as soon as I post these, which is good. That means I know where I’m making mistakes, and what can be improved upon. Eventually, that won’t be part of the post-posting process.
This time I’m doing two at once, since they’re both less than a page. These are actually ideas that I posted on my old LiveJournal years ago, and in the course of hitting a wall/being swamped with other work, things that I could revisit and translate. They’re pretty straightforward. Enjoy.

My continuing sketch series. An exercise to get me to write at least one sketch a week. Again, fell behind, so a couple all at once.
Celebrity Breakup News
People seem to care so much about what’s happening with celebrities, almost at the expense of their own lives. Snoop culture, and not the fun kind that involves smoking weed with a man whose last name is Doggy Dogg.

I can’t recall whether or not I’d mentioned the show on here (EDIT: I hadn’t) but Nate Kushner and I have started a stand-up show in Williamsburg called The Ground Williams Show. First one was last night; it was a lot of fun. Here is a hastily-thrown together highlight reel of the show, about 5:30 in length. I’m hoping I also get better at editing these together (on iMovie UGH) as time rolls on. Enjoy.
Next show is Tuesday 6/30/09 at 8:30 PM. Legion Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Continuing my new weekly sketch series. Two-for-one this week, as I missed last week’s deadline (see #2 for explanation).
Sex And The City Action Figures
I seem to really enjoy writing commercial parodies. Expect to see a lot of them, I guess. Anyhow, this was a concept I had in a sketch class last year; an 80s-style commercial for an action figure tie-in for an unlikely action figure line. I always loved how these types of commercials were loosely related to the films upon which they were based, and showcased three different versions of the same figure. I also like bad puns, and SatC is a perfect outlet for those types of jokes.

Continuing a new feature, where every week I post a new sketch. Whatever form it is in, it goes up. Even though this one is a week late. Enjoy. Price Is Right Showcase Showdown
This should have gone up last week, but I had a bit of a moral dilemma. Normally, I don’t have a problem attacking any issue, but the critical incident in this sketch hit a little close to home (a family member has lost a baby in the past few years). I decided to run it, mostly because it makes me uncomfortable, and I like facing things that make me that way. Basically, I was watching PiR one day, seeing people celebrate their Showcases, and tried to think of the worst thing that could happen to someone in that situation. Upon re-reading the sketch, I’m not 100% happy with how it turned out. I’m also wondering if I went after the wrong target here. Regardless, these things (and more) you can decide for yourself, if the price is right.
