I don’t have enough time to write anything other than a brief thing and post one of an endless backlog of great videos he has, but Jake Johanssen (a comedic legend, which you hopefully probably already know) is going to be at the Pilot Light on Thursday. Sean Simoneau and I are opening the 7:30 … Continue reading

The SONIC-SIMON COMEDY WEEKENDER (coming March 18 – 24)
For those of you who haven’t met Sean Simoneau or seen him perform, you’re missing out. Since he moved to Knoxville last year for the same reason I did (throwing time/money in some proportion at a large, prestigious institution in exchange for a degree of some sort), he has been a major pillar in the … Continue reading

For Boston, For Boston
Greetings from the cold, windy, expensive, wet, crowded, and still somehow greatest city in the world, Boston. I’m actually sitting in a living room now in Natick. The last time I was in this town for more than an hour was 28 years ago. I don’t remember a whole lot about Natick from back then, … Continue reading
Welcome to 2015 and (other peoples’) Stories from the Road
It’s odd that the more I’m forced to write and be creative off of the internet, the more generic my post titles have gotten. Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, I wanted to take this opportunity to throw up some fuzzy statistics from 2014 and to give profuse thanks to some good people down Alabammer way. … Continue reading
Southern Schwing This Weekend
Are you in Alabammer? Well, then come and hang with me as I headline a couple shows in your state with some wonderful people! And then on New Year’s Eve I’m headlining a tour fundraiser for some Knox-friends at the (new-management-blessed) Longbranch Saloon on the Strip. All shows are at 9pm. I hope everyone made … Continue reading
Lexington, KY
Shortly after I graduated from college in 2005, my friend Adam and I decided, as a lark, to switch our “Locations” on Facebook to Lexington, KY. He found a drive-through liquor store for both of us to claim on our profiles that we worked at. I didn’t believe that drive-thru liquor stores actually existed. Either … Continue reading

Where the hell can I find Tyler at the Scruffy City Festival?
I never thought you’d ask. Before I start listing out my schedule (which I need to double-check myself; there’s so much going on), I do want to emphasize that you still have time to get full-weekend passes for a ridiculously good deal. The amount of talent we have coming to Knoxville this weekend is astounding, … Continue reading
Friendlytown Episode 3: Fall Festival Edition THIS WEDNESDAY
That’s right, Knoxville. You lost your alternative weekly, but you gained an evening of guffawery with myself, Jeff, and some festival-starting special guests who’ve done more for our fair city than any of the remaining newspapers (other than BLANK… they rule). Get there at 8 because we may start early this time. Don’t miss our … Continue reading
