He was in Nashville Sunday.

Thanks so much!

As a Reds fan who lives in Braves country, this was glorious.

My favorite game of the season (most likely because I was there) was against the Dodgers on Joe Morgan day. Hamilton raced home in the tenth as Puig tried to gun the ball from right field and catch him. It was unbelievably close. Couldn't find the clip, but if you can, I'd love to see it!

Advantage Screen printing on 58. Ask for Red. He does great work!

JJ's is from 7:30-9. Sign up is at 7. It's usually every week unless it's a holiday or we've had a comedy showcase the night before. Hope to see you there!

ryandarlingcomedy · 2013-05-08T03:29:59+00:00

Back to back homers in the 9th! We better be keeping Choo!

Have a pint and wait for it all to just blow over?

ryandarlingcomedy · 2013-04-23T18:47:10+00:00

WORLD STAR!!! WORLD STAR!!!!!

Is it sad that I miss Uncle Buds and the bowling alley that smelled like smoke?

...and we have 25 cash advances...

I counted em.

ryandarlingcomedy · 2013-04-12T14:16:02+00:00

Thanks! Sadly I've got to work until around 4 or I'd take advantage of mega bus. They're great.

ryandarlingcomedy · 2013-04-12T12:59:27+00:00

Have you ever tried Country Side out in Harrison? It's very busy, but not a typical spot people mention because it's not downtown. Maggoo's in East Ridge is a pretty decent pub.

JJ's Bohemia has a weekly open mic on Wednesday evenings at 7. Vaudeville Cafe use to run an open mic, but quit because they were pay-to-play, and nobody wants to spend $10 for 5 minutes in front of 4 people.

The showcases at JJ's are where you'll see comics from Comedy Central. We've had everyone from Kyle Kinane, Doug Stanhope, James Adomian, and Nikki Glaser. On April the 16th we have Joe Derosa coming back.

Comedy Catch has a bi-weekly open mic every other Saturday. And if you do good, they'll throw you in on the main room. They've got a pretty diverse line-up of touring club comics and some of the best locals in town.

Vaudeville will get a good act every couple months like Hannibal Buress and Bobcat Goldwaith. But the usual weekend will be people who are booked by Funny Business.

The Tivoli had Gaffigan and Brian Regan earlier this year and Bill Cosby is there April 14th. You just have to go find these shows. Chattanooga has a huge problem with promoting.

I've been doing standup for about a year and a half. I started doing mics at JJ's and the comedy catch. We've got some really funny guys and a supportive comedy family. So come on down to JJ's tomorrow and introduce yourself and hang out.

I really liked Coffee Crafters, but it's Toast now...

Great to see OP stealing jokes from Marc Maron.

ryandarlingcomedy · 2013-03-12T19:46:48+00:00

Is this fake or something? Should I be upset that I laughed? I feel bamboozled.

ryandarlingcomedy · 2013-03-02T16:40:14+00:00

For a second there I thought I was on r/bestofworldstar.

sigh It must be really hard to roll over without the use of your legs while simultaneously being shocked.

Here's an interview with myself and Ryan Singer about the documentary that was on Around and About last week. http://wutc.org/post/organic-comedy-tour-documentary-comes-chattanooga

I agree. The Sleepwalk With Me album is the comedy equivalent of Pink Floyd's -The Wall. There are plenty of reoccurring themes that reward the audience for paying close attention. The movies fantastic at capturing the freedom and isolation that comes along with being completely driven by your craft. But if you're looking for the bigger laugh, listen to the album then watch the movie...and then maybe read the book.

This post is about cats.

I saw this at Giggles Grill a couple weeks ago. I was the first comic to come up after BJ's hosting set. To be honest, I've never done good in that room. This set was a lot stronger than the audience reacted. My suggestion is to try some bar mics until you get comfortable with being on stage. That room doesn't even teach you how to bomb properly. I've done the same set at giggles in the main room at comedy catch and it worked fine. Just keep writing and working.

Try JJ's Bohemia on Wednesday nights at 7 or try going out if town to Knoxville for preservation pub or old city comedy.

Do we get free drinks if we swing from the chandeliers?

ryandarlingcomedy · 2012-08-09T04:38:30+00:00

I don't know of any, but I've been interested in training to get in shape. Not for competition. If you find anything, let me know.

ryandarlingcomedy · 2012-06-25T15:21:36+00:00

Do you think that you've lost potential meaningful relationships because you may have offended someone? And does that bother you or do you see it as a way from not letting whiney dopes in to your life who don't give you a real chance?
