The Co-Governors of Space!

So I'm kind of trying to get back into the game. Chris Hauser, Scott McNulty, F. Tyler Burnett and Iva Bahuguna along with myself are starting something.
Look out Universe, "The Co-Governors of Space" are coming to rule you peacefully!
There're only five of us at present (with no real plans for more). We've got shows written. Ideas for where and how to perform them, committment to each other and none of the "fat" that previous projects that I've been involved in have been accused of having. That means Santa can start coming to see shows again. And we can start inviting others that haven't seen us in a while.

By the way, (that's long for "BTW") within the umbrella of "Co-Governors of Space" will be the smaller comedy groups, "The Chris and Scott Show", "The Mistakes", any solo shows and of course America the Bear may do a show and "Jose Tovar and Lawrence Anderson" (mexican marionette and german nutcracker) will do their own brand of cross cultural comedy. Of course, there will be other combinations that will make up their own shows.

This has meant the important trimming of the unimportant in my life. I'm trying to focus. Finally to do what I must. And if that means I'm only in five different shows right now, then so be it. Seriously, you can get sucked into a lot of work in this town. At one time I was in "Lick Your Wounds", "Hogwash", "Chris and Scott Show", "The Fey", my solo stand-up, "The Mistakes" got hired to take my marionette to "Don't Spit the Water" and was being asked to be in two Christmas shows. These are all lottery tickets. Of the eight, only two definitely pays and one might. And that's where my loyalty lies.

Now I'll be doing no more "Hey, do you want to fill in here tonight?", or "Hey we're trying out this new space. Would you like to play." or "It MIGHT lead to being paid." or "I'm only going to wiggle my finger a little bit." or "Everybody does it." or "These should be funny." or "If ALL my friends come..."

People out there who know Scott McNulty and find him funny, say "AYE!"

People out there who think I'm funny at least sporadically, say "Arrrrrgggg!!!"

People who know Chris or F. Tyler or Iva and find any of them funny, GRUNT!!

People who are interested in seeing any or all combinations of the above run funny circles around the mass of unfunny, say "Sure I'd pay $12 to see that! At least!"

By the way, here's the upcoming schedule as far as I know:

November 7th- The Mistakes will be at Gingers Ale House for their evening comedy show. It's free. Come drink.
November 13th- The Mistakes will be at "The Playground" at 10:30 for $5.
November 17th-18th- I will be doing stand-up at the Lincoln Lodge.
November 26th- The Mistakes will be at "The Cornservatory" as part of a Saturday night showcase.
Dec. 10th-My mexican marionette will make his debut in "Don't Spit the Water" at the Playground at 10:30.
Jan. 15th- The entire group, "The Co-Governors of Space" will make their sketch comedy debut at Chemically Imbalanced Comedy's Snubfest with our as yet unwritten but sure to be amazing, "Wilfred Brimley Liberty Medical Showcase".

And in the meantime we'll be gearing up for our first "Co-Governors of Space" production (we're narrowing down prospective shows to decide which will be our first "theatrical").

Gettng active. Kashmir the Flying Beast is at my side. He's sniffing my ball. And he's nodding with a knowing look in his eye. Wow. What a ball. What a smell. Now I'm petting him. He's a weird giant flying mammal, isn't he? He's going to only get weirder.
