Stay until the end for a special Christmas Easter egg. I know it is Christmas . . . shut it.
Live Shows:
I’m wrapped for the year on live shows and will return to the business of show come January 7th. Time to go on a vision quest and figure it all out. Or take the cat to the vet and get a smog check.
We’ve all had them. They come in all shapes and sizes and bring a wealth of diversity and idiosyncrasies to the community. Since moving to Venice I’ve had a few choice neighbors already. Here are my top three starting from the bottom working my way up:
Number 3) The meth-head who plays guitar for hours on end, playing the same pentatonic scales in between fits of yelling at the television. This guy is not only annoying, but he also brings an element of danger to the table. Don’t get me wrong, I love blues inspired pentatonics and they are every guitar player’s bread and butter. However, After hour four of the 12 bar blues in the key of A, I’m about ready to take my own life. Save the fact that baseball season is ramping up and my only reprieve will be his random screams of agony as Manny goes down swinging with the bases juiced. As a side note this neighbor may have allegedly accidentally discharged his shotgun in to the skull of a neighbor he was having an argument with. I could devote an entire blog to this incident.
Number 2) The coked out sex fiend who nails skanks through out all hours of the day and night. Whoa! Hold on there Zeke! Why are you hating on a guy who’s getting his grove on? You should be happy for him, right? Wrong. At some point I need to sleep, write, and masturbate and I sure as hell can’t do that while I have Ron Jeremy banging it out at all hours of the night. Wait, I guess I could masturbate . . .
Number 1) The guy who sub-lets a sub-let from a friend of the guy who’s sub-let the sub-let and enjoys house music. This guys is perhaps the worst offender of all since he doesn’t belong there in the first place. Forget about his crappy choice in music for a second. He hasn’t been pre-screened and more importantly sub-lets usually attract the dregs of society. I can’t remember the last time Thurston Howell the 3rd (much less his half-brother Graham Wellington) was looking for a sub-let for the summer, but I can tell you its not on his bucket list.
However, none of these compare to the neighbor that the Stranger than Fiction Show deals with in the embedded clip. Check it out and share it with your friends.
This week’s shows
I will be performing twice this week with The Stranger Than Fiction Show. Wednesday night March 31st, I’ll be at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, CA. It will be a night of improv comedy with some of the top improvisers from The LA Connection Comedy Theater. I go on a 945pm with the STF crew.
Friday night April 2nd The Stranger than Fiction Show heads over the hill to our home theater, the LA Connection in Sherman Oaks, CA. As usual, we will be doing 90 minutes of our own brand of improv comedy starting at 9pm. This show will feature our newest addition to the show, STF Bingo! E-mail me at zekeisawesome1@gmail.com for details on either show.
Zeke Thomas is a comic actor, voice over artist, and writer/producer who is best known as the brown and fuzzy guy in TV commercials. He also recently directed viral video hit "How To Pick Up a Girl at the Gym". You probably recognize his darling face from commercials for “Hyundai”, “Pizza Hut”, and “J-Date”, but he’s also voiced a series of products for “Apple” computers, donned a giant fat-suit for “Red Bull”, and appeared as a neck-tattooed gang member with a sucking chest wound in “Untold Stories of the ER”. He currently resides in Los Angeles where he surfs (poorly) and gets beat up at local MMA gyms. His long-suffering girlfriend approves of most of this “bro”-ish behavior.
