Burn! Johnny! Burn!

Next week I fly out to Hollywood.

While I'm there I'll be performing in Burn! Johnny! Burn! a spontaneous theater group formed out of 2 members of legendary Burn Manhattan (Todd Stashwick and John Thies) as well as two members of the beloved Johnny Lunchpail (Myself and Will Koehl).

I think that these will be the deets:

Friday March 3rd
8pm The Beast
9pm BURN! JOHNNY! BURN!

$5 for both shows

The Hothouse
4934 Lankershim
Noho 91601

Cell Phone Symphony

This weekend I participated in an Improv Everywhere mission known as Cell Phone Symphony. A precisely timed event where 60 cell phones rang in harmony at a retail bag-check.

Fortunately I was part of the team of 60 that infiltrated the Strand Bookstore and wasn't subjected to the cold.

Johnny Lunchpail Does Chicago a 4th Year in a Row.

Chicago Improv Festival Official Selections.

It looks like they are changing the format up this year, which is cool.

Johnny K. will be flying in from Hollywood for this.

It's My Co-worker's Birthday Today.

He's turning 28, and he received this email from his Dad this morning:

Dear Xxxx,

Happy Birthday. You are getting old. Don't you think it's time to find a girl? Don't worry. Not today or tomorrow. Within six mos to a year. Let me know when we can start looking or I will send you to India to find one.

Love,

Dad

No pressure!
