Seaton "The Comedy Monster" Smith
Last night was the showcase at the Improv. Everyone on the show did a great job. Adam Jacobs killed it, but was early on the show and that may have hurt him. A young guy named Davy Andrews had great material, but he was very new and green. If he puts in the time, he'll be great. Brian Kerns killed too, and tied for second with Eddie Bryant, who I'm a big fan of as well. But Seaton was a comedy machine last night. He has so much command of the stage, that I think he could say anything and people would be locked in. The fact that he has really good material on top of that presence locked it up for him. He has the best joke about 9/11 t-shirts. If you see him, ask about it.
Jeremy Essig, a comic friend of mine from St. Louis did a set too and killed. This guy is good. Watch out for him.
And Rob Cantrell hosted and did his thing. Great comic. Probably the most original out there.
In other news...
I got a haircut yesterday. It was traumatic. I requested "a trim... if you could just even it up, that would be great." Then the woman gave me her interpretation of my haircut, which is similar to that of a kindergarten teacher or David Brenner. My hair was almost at my shoulders and she cut it nearly military length. There was a confrontation, but not until after she already cut out a huge chunk. At that point, there was no turning back. She had to finish ruining my life.
I don't understand why it's impossible to get a good haircut. All hair people have incredible egos and no matter what you say, they'll cut your hair how they like it. She actually said to me, "but I like it like this." I had to lay it down for her. I said, "Look, in about 20 minutes you'll have nothing to do with my haircut, so do what I ask. Don't try to get me ready to go to Dream. I don't do that kind of shit." She got pissed off. I also found out that she doesn't approve of me doing comedy because she doubts it pays well. I really want to stab her. She had a nice rack.
Buy Jeff Buckley's albums.
I realize this wasn't a funny entry. I'm fine with that.
