When Jack and Nick Packard, the creative team behind FunnyOrDie.com's "Bowling Trick Shots" videos contacted me and wanted to film something fun I was a bit hesitant. After some convincing to get me in front of the camera we headed out and filmed some creative ideas.
Watch out, Milwaukee. You're about to see a whole new side of the Tupperware party. Sweet-talking, big-haired Southern belle Dixie Longate came into town yesterday with her off-Broadway hit show, which runs at the Marcus Center's Vogel Hall May 14-26.
Funny or Die and Old Milwaukee are bringing stand-up comedians Matt Braunger and Johnny Pemberton to Turner Hall tomorrow night. Braunger is most known for his reoccurring role as Gene on NBC's "Up All Night" and his Comedy Central special "Shovel Fighter." Pemberton appeared in "21 Jump Street" and "The Watch," and currently stars as Mason on ABC's new sitcom "Family Tools." We got a chance to talk with the duo of comedians about the tour, memories of Milwaukee and messing with random people on the road.

This was my first time seeing this 1991 comedy from comedian Bobcat Goldthwait. A friend of mine and a fan of my reviews (yes, believe it or not, people enjoy my reviews-I pay them good money to like them) asked me to give this one a shot. I will ALWAYS take a request for the blog (then he offere...
Thursday May 9th, 2013 – Gurnee, IL/Fox Lake, IL My friend Russ Martin and I hung out for a while today and had a delicious meal at a Chinese buffet in Gurnee, IL. Hanging out with comedians is one of the best parts of the business, as it’s about the only time we truly...
