Three wonderfully turbulent days, four and a half sets, gallons of PBR, and one impassioned Oasis singalong with Trae Crowder later, the Orlando Indie Comedy Fest is a wrap. I’m still waiting on more professionally shot photos from the fest to show up online; the only one I’ve seen so far is a camera phone … Continue reading

FRIENDLYTOWN Episode 2, This Wednesday!!
A quick note to tell anybody within 100 miles of Knoxville (that’s a good, round number) to come and check out the live comedy-carnage that will be FRIENDLYTOWN, Episode 2 LIVE! The first one, while we learned a lot in the process and didn’t have much time to promote it, was a hell of a … Continue reading
On that Precarious Relationship Between Televised Sports and Stand-Up
Every single time I’ve had to rely on a major sporting event to end on time for a comedy show to begin, it has gone into extra frames. I’m only exaggerating slightly. To accurately tabulate times that Murphy’s Law has kicked in to make that team kick the extra field goal, plate that last-minute run, … Continue reading
Comics and Musicians Unite (Part 1)
I tend to avoid re-posting rants, even when I agree with them, as I hate bringing attention to the people and institutions that inspired the rants in the first place. Odds are, those people and institutions are drunk with power and not in need of any more publicity than their idiocy has provided them. Gene … Continue reading
COLUMBUS – One Night Only! (Friday 9/12)
As many of you know, I loves me some Columbus, Ohio. Why, I can’t even go 3 months without bothering all the nice people up there with my presence and relieving them with my jokes. If you’re around there, and itching to see me tell some of those jokes, you’ve got a chance later this … Continue reading
“Hey, Tyler, I’d like to see you perform sometime,” you say noncommittally. Well, look what I’ve got in store for you, acquaintance!
Well, that summer was awesome, and no fooling. I can’t think of a more comedically-productive 3-month stretch of my life, particularly with that tour, the Kinane show(s), and other such spectacularity. With all that in the rear view at this point, here are a few things coming up in the near-to-distant future! YEAH! MONDAYS IN … Continue reading
Pay a visit to “Friendlytown” this Wednesday at the Pilot Light
Before I get into brass tacks here, let me just say that last night’s Kyle Kinane show was one of the best experiences of my comedy-life. I was proud to be among the cadre of Knox-locals (namely Trae Crowder, Jeff Blank, Jay Kendrick, Matt Chadourne, and Angela Garrone) who provided the support, and I cannot … Continue reading
Ragnarok 3.0 Tour Split Cassette available!
What’s that? The infamous split cassette that all the celebrities are talking about?? “That’s What You Get for Thinking Things Through” is a mash of our two album titles (“That’s What You Get for Being Different!” and “Yeah, I’ve Thought This Through”) and was dubbed onto a limited run of only 24 cassettes. We have … Continue reading
WEDNESDAY July 30th at the Pilot Light: The “Redefining Rock Bottom” Tour Featuring Dustin Meadows at the Pilot Light!
I’m very excited to bring Dustin Meadows, a good buddy and hilarious comic, to the Pilot Light in Old City this Wednesday night! He’s coming through on his “Redefining Rock Bottom” mini-tour with Michael Meyers and Mike Kolar, two other tours-de-force from the always-explosive Columbus, OH comedy scene. For those of you who may have missed … Continue reading
“I Left my Shoes at Fulford’s House” (Ragnarok 3.0 is a Wrap!)
2271 miles, 7 states, and 12 shows later, Ragnarok 3.0 is a wrap. Gratitude cannot be adequately expressed to all the comics and friends who offered stage time, beds/couches, or even just laughter and kind words after shows. It’s never an easy road, but you all make this worth it. Extra respect for my great … Continue reading
