Hello..I’m back and would like to say that this summer (2010) so far has been fun not just for performing but with writing as well. As I write this there will be three more weeks until Labor Day (The unofficial end of summer) and I’m sure more great ideas and experiences await. I will unravel my whole summer when I post before the fall, but I just wanted to say thanks so far to everyone who has been sharing the stage with me and inspiring me to become the best I can be, doing the one thing that I love doing the most! Stay tuned for my summer recap!

Been writing new jokes so I havent been blogging to much, but I had some time and thought this might be the opportune time to tell everyone to stay away from those BK rib bites.
Those that have seen the commercial of the talking pig (not to be confused with the trojan commercials) offering this dude these rib bites will surely agree that these things taste like the pig came right out the farm with no washing, cooking  or wiping its ass,,just gross! As a big fan of Thursday night with James Kass, he tried these things and once again..FAIL!! NO GOOD!! Now…for all of you that dont know James show there’s a bit called “Better With Bacon” in which he tries many different foods with bacon..i.e.. oreo’s,,,fruit,,,PB and jelly…things that just dont “go” with bacon. His reaction to the bites were worse than PBJ and Bacon. So if that doesnt tell you to avoid these processed nuggets than go ahead and waste your money in dissappointment.
Now dont get me wrong! I like Burger King and their Whoppers,,but lets just leave the Burgers to the King and the ribs to Outback.

Ok..so today’s Cinco De Mayo!  The day people get tanked on margaritas and Coronas,,and the reason why the 6th of May has become a leading “sorry cant make it in today Im sick” day. But lets ask the question why we do what we do on this beer loving day.

Now the normal response is who gives a crap why we celebrate the fifth of May,,just pass me another drink and get me a lime for my Cuervo shot. People people people! This day should be celebrated because Cinco De Mayo commemorates the victoty of the Mexican Militia over the French Army at the Battle Of Puebla in 1862. Yes you are all reading this going WOW!! This holiday means something to me now,,,this holiday actually changes everything about my being! I now want to be a better person!! NICE!!! So congratulations if you realize that this special day is more than just a hungover tomorrow… and with that being said..ahem!!…….PASS ME A FEW CORONAS AND SOME CUERVO!!! and I wont be in tomorrow boss, feeling a little sick! Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

Ok so last night I did a show with friends Matt Bridgestone, Max Lorenzi, Mr Will and of course Wrestling legend Mick Foley. While always a good time sharing the stage with my fellow Jersey funny men I was taken back by the comedy talents of Mick.  Now I know most of us know him as either Mankind..Dude Love or Cactus Jack…and people reference him to that incredible hell in the cell match with The Undertaker in which he was thrown off a steel cage into a table…. But…his talents dont end with a 15 ft dive onto a table that both concusses him and throws a tooth through his front lip. He brings his wrestling experiences to life with the mic and shares them in a comical way only he can. From being recognized as one of the top ten WWF (now WWE) wrestlers of all time and not being known for some of his other equally great accomplishments (Two NY Times Bestsellers..Numerous Charity events and causes) he spins great stories for the audiences to enjoy wrestling fan or not.

While talking after the show about future performances I can see how his celebrity can be an annoyance. While ironing out details for shows in the fall every friggin 30 sec someone was always asking for an autograph or pic!! This guy is kind and gracious to all his fans and I hope the autograph seekers will appreciate his new venture into stand up comedy and not as the guy that gets thrown off of steel cages.  Oh and BTW I should mention.. huge fan here and I never though I would be performing with this guy..PRETTY COOL!!

Okay… for everyone that has been patiently waiting for my new site, here it is.

Now I don’t have to hear how shitty my site old is. I knew how shitty my old site was. Don’t want to hear it again!

So welcome to my new shitty site!

In all seriousness, this new site is a symbol of my commitment to getting back into performing stand-up. I took a much-needed break from it for a while and now I’m happy to be back. I’ve been trying out new material at various colleges, and I’m very grateful to them for remembering me and ushering me back onto the stage.

Special thanks to Penn State (despite my making fun of their football team), UConn (even though I teased their basketball team for not making the tournament), Fresno State (for the plethora of, shall we say, healthy looking women), Villanova (for having the most diverse crowd I’ve ever performed in front of), U of Florida (I think I may have been the reason Tim Tebow left), and my upcoming gig at Cal Poly, for allowing me to both bomb and soar over the past few months.

I’m actively putting together a college tour for the Fall 2010 semester (more details coming soon). I’ve also started twittering (god help me) and you should follow me at @edchocomedy.

That’s enough for now. Don’t want to go too crazy on my first day. Tell all your friends about the new site, dammit.
