"I'm literally going to vomit all over you right this second."

From my favorite funny bloggers:

Dirty Old Prom Queen on funny lines her students have said to her and she's said to her students

Carolyn Castiglia on the meaning of life

Potatoes!

I'm like a week late on this, but it's still funny if you had to walk across a bridge during the transit strike - Jeff Mac's message to his fellow pedestrians

Bring an unwanted gift to this show -- all gifts will be circulated and redistributed, so you might come home with something better! Comedians will keep you entertained as the bad gifts go 'round.

Featuring Jill Twiss, Aaron Haber, Jenny Rubin, Theron Steiner, Rachael Parenta, Jackson Yung, Elon James White, Brad Aldous, and Michelle Buteau!

Dan Allen interview on Gothamist

I interviewed Dan Allen today at Gothamist

I can't believe I'm linking to this

But I love Susie Felber, and it's an interesting piece, so I will. Susie's blog, Felber's Frolics is featured, as well as her Buy My Mom's Books blog, in this blog column in the New York Daily News.

Dan Allen and Allison Castillo quoted in my Village Voice column

My latest Village Voice Lusty Lady column is on going "Home for the Holidays" and I quote comedians Dan Allen and Allison Castillo, author of The Score: The Ultimate Quiz to Test Who He Is among others.

I heart The Jenny Vaudeville Show

Last night's Jenny Vaudeville Show at Pete's Candy Store was SO fun. Perhaps the most fun I've had while performing, because I got to share the lineup with hilarious people like Carolyn Castiglia, The Rob and Mark Show, and The Dartmouth Cords. It was really priceless to watch all my blogger friends crack up over Rob and Mark's blog song ("We don't want to read your blog"). Check out some photos, including Rob shirtless, and Jen in her Wonder Woman underwear. Fuller recap later. You can also go stalk flirt with cute Dartmouth boys. Also, there was trivia! Cupcakes Take the Cake competed against each other, and I wound up winning . . . the 2nd season of Too Close for Comfort on DVD. Guess I know what I'll be doing on my day off! What else? Jessica stole me extra olives from the bar, we peeked at this boy's doodles, discussed the whole "lady in the street/freak in the bed" phenomenon and much more. It was a delight to meander home at 2 am. Not so much getting up in the morning, but still. Also be sure to check out The Re-Gifting Comedy Show on December 30th.

CBS/NYC Presents Dave Hill's Magical Night Of A Bunch Of People Doing Stuff/Hosted by Dave Hill with Mike Albo, Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, and Hair Supply/Monday, Dec. 5/8:30pm/Mo Pitkins/34 Avenue A/$6

Dear fans of quality and affordable entertainment:

I am excited to tell you that this Monday night, Dec. 5, at 8:30pm (sharp.  dammit.) I will be hosting a jawdropping night of entertainment of the comedy type at Mo Pitkins (a seriously great new venue located at 34 Avenue A at 2nd Street or so in the heart of the anything goes Alphabet City neighborhood of our town).  As hinted at in the subject heading, the show is sponsored/curated/sanctioned/approved/generally given the thumbs up by the popular CBS network.  It is not being televised or anything but I wanted to point this out just so you know that the people who brought you Knots Landing, Face The Nation, and all those Crime Scene Investigation shows are now getting in on the Dave Hill action too, just like pretty much everyone in the Netherlands did like six months ago.  Anyway, the official title of the show on Monday is CBS/NYC Presents Dave Hill’s Magical Night Of A Bunch Of People Doing Stuff and it is going to be a major asskicker.  Joining me on the show will be three of the funniest and most talented mofos I know- Mike Albo, Nick Kroll, and John Mulaney- who will each get up one at a time and be really entertaining for like ten minutes each or something.  As if all that is not enough, Hair Supply, the number one heavy metal tribute to Air Supply in the Tri-State area, will also be bringing the heat on Monday by playing a song (or maybe two if I feel like letting them).  In between all of these guys, I will be coming out on stage and making lighthearted chitchat and being generally just really incredible for a couple minutes until the next person is ready to come on stage and make you forget your very real life problems if only for a little while.  There might also be one more really great (and also famous!) comedian on the bill but he told me to call him back tomorrow about it so I am totally going to do that.  So anyway, please come.  It is pretty much guaranteed to be a f%#king sweet ass night of good times.  Deal with it.

I love you,
Dave Hill
