Hey Everybody,

We had a great time this weekend. We were in New York and had a night off. We went to see Avenue Q. It is a hilarious show.  I recommend it. Colin laughed so hard he crapped his pants.

Then, we went on to Joliet and Phoenix, where we had two awesome shows.

Colin has been busy in his hotel room taking a creative writing class. His first assignment was to 'insult someone that he is secretly in love with'. I wonder how that worked out.  

Anyway, We've got a few more shows this year: Charlotte, NC, New Haven, CT, Staten Island, NY, Champion, PA, and Warren, OH.

Hope you can come see us!

Well, I'm off to the store to get Colin's adult diapers and Immodium.

See you soon,

Brad

Greetings discerning comedy lovers,
 A lot of you have been asking about what Brad and I do before performances. I thought I'd give you a show day exclusive. On the day we had a show in Joliet here is how the time passed.

6:00 am - I get my wake-up call, get ready.
6:15 am- Call Brad to make sure he got his wake up call. Fortunately he has. I run through the checklist with him. Has he showered and dried off? Has he brushed his teeth and gone potty? Has he put on clothes. Today is a good day, he is ahead of schedule.

7:00am- Our car has arrived to take us to the airport. Ride is uneventful except for Brad asking "Are we there yet" every five minutes.

9:00- We have checked in and our flight is on time. On the plane we relax by reading. I decide on  "The Age of Reason Begins :A History of European Civilization in the Period of Shakespeare, Bacon, Montaigne, Rembrandt, Galileo, and Descartes, 1558-1648 " by Will Durant. Brad sticks with his "Best of Jughead Digest". Halfway through he switches to another book but loses interest when one of his crayons falls under the seat.

12-3 p.m. We have checked into the hotel. I answer e-mails, study my lines for an upcoming movie I appear in, phone my wife and son, finish writing the final two episodes of a TV series I am working on, finalize my speech to the graduating class of Oxford and invent vaccine that will eradicate acne. Brad naps.

4 p.m.- We have an hour drive to Joliet. I meditate while Brad reads "How to win at cards against Your Superiors."

5 p.m Sound check goes swimmingly. We go for dinner. Brad is on a new diet where he eschews meats. There is an awkward silence when he accidentally eats my cutlery.

6 p.m.- We're back at the theatre and start to play cards. Unfortunately his book didn't help him. Brad is soundly thrashed.

6:45-7:15 – I have to talk Brad into coming out of the bathroom.

7:45 – We go over what games we are going to play. I give Brad some funny things to say in case he is stuck. I remind him he may want to do a bald joke or make a snack fairy reference at the point when he is totally floundering and can't think of anything. He giggles.

8-10  The show goes beautifully and the audience is very appreciative. Brad is on fire. Luckily the stagehands have a fire extinguisher and once I take his matches away, everything runs smoothly. We head back to the hotel where Brad drinks himself into a stupor, tells me he loves me and sets himself on fire again when he leans against a candle. He giggles and heads of to bed.

11 pm-5am- I ride with the Chicago police department for some research. I help in a drug bust, counsel a would-be suicide and deliver a baby.
It's been a good day.
