Mischief Partners: Finding the Funny in Unfunny Times

Your first mission? Go See Local Comedy

Pam Rad and I are returning to the comedy scene after a 10+ year hiatus.

Pam is on the grind, doing open mics and shows, while I focus on hosting, writing, and hyping up the Bay Area comedy scene.

As a subscriber, you’ve become a Mischief Partner. You’ll get updates on our progress, show dates, and a window into our nerd-level love of comedy.

Your first challenge as a Mischief Partner? Go to a local comedy show or open mic. Bring a friend. Support local bars and restaurants and the brave souls onstage. Head’s up, If you’re at an open mic, expect to cringe at some dick jokes while steeping yourself in the joy of shared laughter with your neighbors.

Where to start? Check out the comedy category on Eventbrite in your zip code. If you are in the Bay Area, join us in the audience at Thee Stork Club in Oakland on Monday, January 20th, at 9 p.m. Tony Sparks—the Godfather of SF/Bay Area Comedy— is headlining. San Francisco’s own Ali Wong described her experience at Tony’s legendary Brainwash Cafe open mic on an episode of “Hot Ones”.

Comedy is self-care! It will do more for your well-being than doom-scrolling on the shitter with your pants around your ankles.

That’s all for now, partners.

p.s. Yes, I’ve repurposed my way-old Substack for comedy efforts. Feel free to enjoy my reviews of 5-year-old TV shows in the archives. ¯\(ツ)/¯
