Ghost Adventures – STF Public Access 1.32

leave a comment »

Title: Ghost Adventures – STF Public Access 1.32

Description: Zeke and Tyler from the Stranger than Fiction Show use this week’s video to give you highlights from this week’s show, but also address reports of paranormal activity at a haunted LA theater. Will they encounter a spirit? Will their heroic camera operator Courtney pick up supernatural artifacts? Will they overplay a one note joke?

Something tells me the answer is fairly obvious. And bearded. And freed the slaves.

Live Show Update

This week I’ll be doing two shows with The Stranger than Fiction Show – Wednesday (that’s tomorrow) night we will rock the Comedy Store Main Room as part of the LA Connection Showcase.  The improv comedy rock band Phoenyx will be there playing 20-25 minutes of improv hair metal goodness. Tix are $10 at the door, $5 if you get on my list.  As always in Hollywood there is a 2 drink minimum. Friday night brings me back to my regular show with The Stranger than Fiction Show at the LA Connection. 9pm start time and a full 90 minute set. The band will be back together in full force with my main man Digger back on bass guitar. Also there might be a super secret show in the works for early September. Details as they emerge.

Mahalo and try to stay off the ice, brah.

Title: The Bridesmaid – STF Public Access 1.31

Description: The STF Public Access cameras were hanging outside the theater when a drunk bridesmaid wanders into the shot and takes over the video. London Bridge? Eiffel Tower? Leaning Tower of Pisa? Which one will she choose?

Something tells me she picks option #2.

Video Commentary

Sara’s parents must be so proud.  They send their daughter to go be an actress in the big city and she plays a “character” who gets drunk, shits on the sidewalk, and then gets double teamed by two dudes.  Sara’s is a delicate flower and I think we captured that in this video.

Hitler and Eva Can’t Sleep – STF Public Access 1.30

leave a comment »

Sometimes I don’t know how our cameras get positioned where they do. And sometimes I only know how to end sentences in prepositions. But I do know a good Hitler joke when I see one.

The STF Public Access camera’s made their way into Hitler and Eva’s bedroom only to catch them fighting a bout of insomnia.  Hitler tells Eva a bedtime story that consists of Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring, the nature of the NASCAR economy, and a tale of what happens when Starbucks runs out of coffee.

Did you know that Hitler sleeps with a German flag? I didn’t.

Live Show update

I’ll be at my resident gig with The Stranger than Fiction Show tonight at the LA Connection at 9pm.  Word has it that Dallas James is back from his break and has been stockpiling comedy from across this great land. Me, I’m trying to get it out of me before I go camping next weekend. Tickets are still available for tonight’s show and I promise to incorporate more mid 90’s basketball stars into my opening.  Who doesn’t love a good Horace Grant reference, right?

Stranger than Fiction Public Access: The Actor’s Studio

This week The Stranger than Fiction Show’s own Dallas James   the game film on this past week’s show.  He reminds us how to propose with a box of viagra, what to do when Mickey loses his head at Disneyland, and we take a look at a day in the life of Brett the Pornographer.

I think the Pixies had it right when they said, “It’s educational!” Just like UMass . . .

STF Public Access 4/15/11 – The Helper

with 2 comments

Problems are solved during this week’s video as Chad re-caps this week’s Stranger than Fiction Show.  He dishes out some romantic advice regarding secret crushes on roommates, a doctor who is in love with a patient, and the truth about the baby/giraffe time-space continuum.

Let’s face it, Chad is a problem solver.

Live Show:

It’s gonna be tough to top last week’s show, but we’re gonna keep on keepin’ on.  I’m thinking I may have to spoof Frank McCourt and the Dodgers this week with our character bit at the top of the show.  I’m not sure.  I may just end up making fun of Raider fans and watch my back as I go to back to my car after the show.

LA Connection at 9pm in Sherman Oaks, CA be there or wear your jeans in the ocean.

STF Public Access 4/8/11 – Mister Rogers

Fred Rogers stops by the Stranger than Fiction Show to re-cap some surprisingly adult situations. ; We learned about what happens when you take a 3rd date to a public restroom. and that the best way to deal with your mother in law is to sleep with her. Plus the Tooth Fairy stopped by and repaired Tyler’s teeth.

Yep, things just got weird.

Live Shows:

With Palm Sunday and Passover in our rear view mirror and Good Friday and Easter Sunday on the horizon, The Stranger than Fiction Show promises to try and offend everyone.  Unlike Angelina at Surf n Turf night at the Jersey Shore, no one will be excluded.  Something tells me some prominent holiday icons will stop by to do a drop in set. I’m not saying who since the card is subject to change without notice *but I think Jesus will be there*

Live Show:

In case you haven’t made it to a live show recently, I’d like to announce the addition of 3 new ladies to The Stranger than Fiction Show.  They just happen to be the stars of the video: Courtney Renee Fridley (Kim Kardashian), Dorian Lipman (Kourtney Kardashian), and Sara Berger (Khloe Kardashian). They each bring some new energy to the cast and will continue to morph our show into the bizarre universe it has become. Find them on The Twitter or the facebook and be sure to check them out every week at the LA Connection in Sherman Oaks, CA at 9pm.

BTW, me and the rest of the guys will be there too . . . in case you were wondering . . . you probably weren’t . . . but I’m just putting it out there.

This week we step inside the elusive Shadow Puppet Dojo of the Stranger than Fiction Show. Dog, tells us about a run in with Bella from Twilight, Bird reminds us that God hates men who are born with out knees (since they can’t pray to him), and Rabbit discloses his thoughts on the secret lives of skittles.

Live Shows:

After last weeks hummus drenched sold out show at the LA Connection, we’ll be back on stage doing our Stranger than Fiction thing the usual crew.  We might have some famous web-lebrities stop by and do a guest spot, but don’t hold me to anything just yet.  You may have to settle for version of “The Bachelor” featuring “the Kardashian sisters”.  It’s too early to tell but I see hairy things in my future.

leave a comment »

This week’s video post features someone of biblical proportions.

Adam (Adam and Eve) and Death re-cap this week’s Stranger than Fiction Show that featured the untimely death of our favorite chicken, Hazel. ; Hazel was able to teach us some important life lessons before she passed including how to turn a baby into a squirt gun, the fact that you cannot take Kool-aid in to outer space, and that chickens really are in the Matrix.

Find out how she was able to live her life like Vin Diesel and how dipping sauces are a metaphor for life.

Live Show update:

This week’s live Stranger than Fiction Show is already sold out! No, this is not an April fools day joke.

I love it when corporate gigs end up being repeat gigs. Be it Chatsworth High School Cheerleaders, Sony Digital Entertainment, or your local chapter of your favorite Armenian Business fraternity. They all know a great show when they see one. Next show will be April 8th at the LA Connection where everyday is a freakin’ holiday. Hoo-rah!
