BLOG TALK RADIO CALL IN SUNDAY NIGHT
NEW PRANKS
CANCELLED DATES :-(
NEW BLOG


Thank you to all of you who were kind enough to throw me an email as I tried my best to settle the internal battle that was going on in my head between a mac and a PC. I ended up getting MAC as my PC was unable to make it all the way to November as I had hoped. I touch on the experience a little in a blog I just wrote. Been a while since I've sat down and scribbled out some of my thoughts so I'm pretty sure it doesn't flow that well. 

Switching computers is no different than getting a new girlfriend after dating someone else for years. Even though you're with someone new, your tendencies are still entrenched in the old relationship. 

I'm still learning a few things about this Mac so the first thing I've got to figure out how to do is all of my website updates from a new computer. But for now I'll continue to update the site via hotel business centers and college computer labs.

PERFORMANCE DATES
The bulk of the Sept./ Oct. Performance schedule is colleges. That's it... just colleges. No comedy clubs again until Philly at the end of October. If you're in the area at any of these schools you're more than welcome to come out and catch a laugh. 

Speaking of dates. The politics of people more famous than me deciding that they want to do comedy on the week that I'm scheduled has bumped me out of my October week in Kansas City, and my November week in Denver. The Denver week has been replaced with Nov. 5-7 Madison, Wisconsin. But that's November. lets just concentrate on Sept. and Oct.

NEW PRANK CALLS

WHO IS JOHN?- What happens when a man calls another man about his man?
Lots of cursing. that's what happens. One of the shorter pranks I've done in a while but I figured it was a keeper.

OPERATION OVER THE OCEAN- Some of you who own my first CD 'MY MOMMA MADE ME WEAR THIS'. will find this prank call to be very familiar.
I call a young lady to inform her of her pending eviction.




That's all for now.

You're Welcome. Go Cubs.

AUGUST ON ROY WOOD JR.COM-  
NEW PRANK CALLS
NEW SITE FEATURES
NEW STAND-UP CLIPS
NEW PERFORMANCE DATES

 I'm know I'm like YEARS behind on giving you guys a new blog. And I have much to discuss. (Like the Lady in Erie, PA who offered me a Vicodin for one of my prank call CDs)
My laptop is on its last legs. (hence the missed July Updates)
 If my laptop were terminally ill, it would be at that point in its life where all its relatives would gather around its hospital bed and wait for it to pass away. They'd call you and tell you....

 "You need to come home and say goodbye to Ol'Henry. Doctor only gave him 3 days to live. He's got a bad power circuit on his motherboard. His monitor is going bad. Doctor's at Best Buy said they can't even give him a Vista upgrade...he doesn't have enough memory."
  Thankfully I'm home this month and I'm able to do the updates from my trusty Desktop which is on its last legs as well. I guess it's time for me to ask myself a simple question. .. Mac or PC? 
I'd love for any of you with an opinion on that to email me back and chime in. I'm having  a hard time deciding between a MacBook or something with Windows Vista all over it. I hear pros and cons for both platforms. It's like trying to choose between geting kicked in the crotch or punched in the crotch.
I'd rather a swift kick.
Decisions Decisions.
NEW SITE FEATURES
Anyways, there's a new feature on the site called, RANDOMNESS. You'll find it in the LIVE MEDIA portion of my site.  I think you'll enjoy it. Feel free to email me and contribute to it as well.

Roy Wood Jr  Chicago TV Taping , L.A. Show & Knoxville Info.

 
It’s TV Time again.
 
      For those of you in the Chicago area this coming weekend I’ll be a part of the ‘Just for Laughs Chicago Comedy Festival’ The TBS network will be shooting their new comedy show ‘A Very Funny Show’ hosted by Tim Meadows (*Saturday Night Live, The Ladies Man*)  The show will be taped in front of a live crowd at Zanies Comedy Club in downtown Chicago.  (*My first appearance there since being kinda sorta ‘banned’ back in 2003. Long story*)
 
This is the first year of this festival so those of you in the area please do come out and support. Even if you can’t come to my show there will be a bevy of shows that entire week with performances from the likes of Mike Epps, Kevin Hart, George Lopez, Bill Engvall, Damon Wayans Jr, Martin Short, Russell Peters, and John Pinette. Comedy works better when people are present. Your presence keeps us employed.
 
For More Festival Info..   
 
For Ticket info on my show…
 
I’m ONLY performing on the June 20th 9:15pm Show.  
 
My Brother will be having a birthday party in Chicago earlier that day so I’m liable to be slightly tipsy before going on stage that evening to perform in front of millions of Americans. The network has asked me to “soften up” the girl scout cookie joke.  I promised them I would (wink wink). A half drunk rebel holding a microphone on television? How could you pass this up?
 
    If you only have $10 then please lie to someone you love and get the other $15.  $25 is the same amount of money you were planning to spend on some crappy movie this weekend anyway. Plus you’ll get to see yourself on TV in a comedy Club. Won’t that be fun?
 
     Those of you that have been to Zaines before know that the club is SMALL. So I STRONGLY recommend you getting your tickets ASAP.  If you are in Chicago and have wanted to see me live. This is probably your ONLY opportunity for the forseeable future. Zanies hasn’t booked me in 6 years and who knows if the people at Jokes and Notes have even opened the 4 promotional packs that I’ve sent them over the past two years. If I’m ever back in Chicagoafter next weekend it’ll be a show at a community college in the suburbs or because I have Cubs tickets.
 
     After the show lets all walk over to the waterfront and take a piss in Lake Michigan…or go back to my brother’s house to crash what’s left of his birthday party. I’m sure he will have punch and pie…and vodka.  
 
Come to this TV Taping. Or Jesus will give your first born child gingivitis.

PRANK CALL REQUEST TIME
 
Hey gang ! I’m back in Birmingham for a few days and will be in studio during that time doing new prank phone calls. If there’s someone you’d like for me to prank call please go to the following link. Or scroll further down for info on how to submit.
 
 
 
3 for $25 Prank Call CDs
 
Speaking of prank calls. I’ve been asked here and there when I plan to release a new CD Project. As of right now I’m eyeballing this summer/fall as a release date for a new CD. 
 
Here’s the problem…
 
I can’t decide on whether or not to do a Stand-up or Prank Call CD. Some have suggested a double CD. But I’m no superstar so I’m not sure if people can tolerate 2 hours of me on CD. None the less I’ll come up with something that appeases those of you that enjoy my comedy and those of you who enjoy the pranks.
 
In the meantime you can purchase all three of my past CDs. For $25. Flat . No charge for postage. Order away on my merchandise page.
 
 
 
Enjoy.

HAVE SOMEONE YOU WANT ME TO PRANK ???
As you can see from the picture I'm hard at work in the studio....not. Time for new prank calls. 
Now...If you have someone you want me to prank then
BEFORE YOU E-MAIL ME please read the guidelines...
You MUST be 18 or Older to request a prank.   Period.    No Exceptions.
Please e-mail me the following
1)- Your name and two contact numbers where you can be reached
2) The person you want me to prank and two numbers on them.
3) Some info on the person you want me to prank. (* Kids, Occupation, Recent spats w/ people or businesses etc.*)  If you have a specific scenario then please give me that. Otherwise just throw me some general info so that I can come up with a scenario myself.
4) A good time to call you and this person.
 Simply e-mailing me doesn't initiate the prank. You will hear from me BEFORE I do the prank. 
NOTE: I prank call people for fun. Do not suggest that I prank anyone that can't take a joke. I do not prank call people to help you exact some sort of revenge. I'm not going to call your ex-husband to tell him you failed an AIDS test.  I'm not going to tell someone that their kid died. (* Yes both of those were real requests I've received *)
If there's someone in your life that you hate, then go throw a brick at their house or open up a few credit cards in their name or something. Don't pull me into your drama.
PLEASE NOTE...
IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE ABOVE INFO IN YOUR E-MAIL, IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED
I'm not doing this to be a prick, but I check EVERY e-mail myself (* up to 100 per week*) and following up with 20-30 people a week to obtain info from you that you might have left out creates a cumbersome process that really slows things down. 
Naturally I can't do every prank asked of me but I do my best to give them all a fair consideration. 
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS..
Q: How long after I e-mail you can I expect a reply?
A: I have no idea. There's no science to this. I wish there was.  As of right now, considering that I live in Los Angeles now I can only do my pranks when I'm back home in Birmingham. You could e-mail me one day and I might call you back that afternoon. or You could e-mail me and not hear from me for a month or so.
Once I get some studio access in Los Angeles then I'm sure I can do new pranks on a more consistent basis but for now this is the arrangement.But for now I can only do them when I'm in Birmingham. It's just me people. No staff, no assistants, no secretary.
 
Q: If I don't live in a listening area of one of your prank affiliate cities how can I hear the prank? -
A: If I prank someone for you then I will e-mail you a copy of the prank call once all the legal mumbo jumbo is worked out. Regardless of whether or not you live in one of my 40 affiliate cities.
 
Q: Do You Prank people who don't live in your affiliate cities?
A: If they have a phone, and they'll answer it, and they live in America,  Then I'll prank them. It's just that simple.  (* The only exception to this rule is U.S. Troops who are serving abroad. I'll prank them *)

- Los Angeles Show THIS MONTH!!
 

Been all over the place the past month or so people. My apologies for the prank update delays. Someone thought it’d be a great idea to try and throw a virus at me. Thankfully the people that know more about web design than me were able to keep this from happening but none the less servers had to come off line for a while.   I’m still on Myspace, and Youtuhe etc. but I’ve also given in and succumbed to facebook and twitter.

 

I’m not that big a fan of twitter. Probably because it’s a digital account of just how little I do everyday, but none the less I have to do it or I’m sure some cornball TV won’t book me because I’m “Not connected to the American people” LOL  Follow me and add my facebook fan pag.
