Yes, it’s true—my comedy-partner-in-crime KayDee Kersten and I are moving to L.A. July 31st. The reasons for moving are many—more time with family, a more vibrant performance art scene, and of course, California’s most challenging comedy fishbowl. I’m so excited I could scream—check back here in August for the beginning of a side-by-side comparison of comedy in San Francisco vs. Los Angeles!—but I’m also already missing SF’s hills, fresher air, food (A16, Spork, Cav, Papalote), bars (Zeitgeist, Alembic), and our friends. We’ll be living near the foot of Runyon Canyon in West Hollywood about one block from Sunset—know of any breakfast spots we should hit? Oh, and where can we find a good plastic surgeon? Haha
Our last pro comedy show in SF is Wednesday July 21 @ 8PM with me, KayDee, and a cast of SF’s most hilarious comedians. Only $10 gets you in—swing on by for some laughs and drink!
And if you’re looking to get us a going-away gift, how about some jam made with
Lady Diana’s hair? Oh my god, yum!

Yo Scotchy,
I’m so fucking glad you are NOT going to be working for a bank anymore. I think I’d rather get perpetually ass fucked by the devil while giving blowies to Hitler while serving time in Hell for eternity than working for a fucking Bank for five minutes.
Let’s make a gay bromantic comedy together.
- Paul Rudd
Yes, boss of Scotch at Wells Fargo, this is the real Paul Rudd giving you the proverbial finger! Enjoy, douche bag! S – I can’t believe you’ve been a big internet security architecture guy for so long instead of getting into comedy and acting sooner. I’m soooo glad you’re not going to waste your talents anymore, especially serving a scumbag bank like Wells. Hey everyone, move your money to Bank of America instead of keeping it at Wells Fargo, because Wells Fargo plays the douche bag to their employees.

Funny. That guy totally looks like me when I played Reese Bobby, Will Ferrell’s dad, in the movie Talladega Nigths: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Good Luck, comedian. We always need new talent out here, although it is rarely caught right away. Hollywood needs new talent, but just remember – it’s a long way to the top, cowboy.
Your website is fun and unique and I look forward to catching one of your shows at the Comedy Club when you make it to town.
All the best,
Gary Cole

To get out the smell of being shit out by the big white LA whale do what our fathers did – take up smoking, drinking, sport fucking, and cheap cologne; those items together should keep the smell of failure off but while offering a more pungent smell of safe mediocrity.
Nothing like surviving and the smell of safe mediocrity that will attract talent agents and playboy bunnies.
Just fuckin’ with you. Good luck and we’ll miss you in SF, though I’ve never seen a show of yours. But something tells me that the tawdry style of billy idol hair you own augurs a type Mary Tyler Moore success which is on the way – “You’re gonna make it after all!” —If you call working for a guy named Lou…in an office…typing letters…staying there for 20 years in that same chair looking at that same monitor “making it after all.”
Just don’t turn to porn, dude. Remember, you’ve got dignity!
Like Telly used to say: “Who loves ya baby! Now, suck on my Greek-Jew-Italian looking lollipop.” Hey, gay for pay in a porn pays more for dudes than main street hetero porn – just wear a rubber dude.

to Friend o’ Comedian, sure, you spake the truth, but when i wrote that, i figured my boss was probably reading this blog, and he wasn’t going to be keen on thinking that reason #1 for my moving is to chase after something i dream of doing (comedy) while he’s running around terrified of losing his job. that was then. things are different now. after originally telling me he had no problem with me working remotely from LA, he’s backpedaled since for fear of making waves with his higher-ups, rather than backing one of his own like a loyal boss should — so i’m basically fired. so yeah, i’ll say it: family is part of my going, but reason #1 is so i can get on stage. what will come of that, who knows — maybe some fame or fortune, but that’s never been why i do comedy, and certainly not why i do performance art — the most i’ve ever made doing that is fifty bucks, and that was because after spewing olive oil and chicken feathers everywhere, i left the performance space cleaner than when i found it. so yeah, you’re right. i’m asking the hollywood whale to swallow me, and hopefully i wont get shit out.

Dude, that guy in the picture looks like Gary Cole within a 70′s Ford Thunderbird sportin’ that 70′s style stash, burns and shades. Mmmmm: I can almost smell the English Leather, Marlboro Reds, and bourbon oozing out of that guy in the pic. Didn’t all white men smell like that on a baking Friday afternoon in the summer coming home from a long day at work with no A/C in the car. Makes you wonder if there were OTHER smells our fathers were trying to cover up when they made it to supper by 8:30PM instead of the regular 6pm time on those Fridays back in the day.

I love the first platitude of why you’re moving: ” The reasons for moving are many—more time with family…”
Ah, you are so full of shit. LA has already turned you into a corporate bullshit entertainer already. Who do you think you are, a Frankenstein Disney puppet like Zac Ephron?
I’m your only fucking friend and I personally know that you have more friends AND FAMILY in Northern California than southern. So…don’t bullshit a bullshitter, nigs. Come clean and say: “I’m moving to Cali because it is the nucleus of the entertainment world. It would be in my self interest to do so.”
Don’t put on a bullshit scene about family and performance art and blah, blah, blah; just tell people the honest truth: “I want to go for it! And when I get a chance to trade up I’m dumping my comedy partner of a ho and I’m gonna marry a playboy bunny who wants me for my money, because I’ll be so big headed and strung out on coke by then that I want be able to tell reality from fantasy – just like everyone else in this fuckin’ city.”
See, people in LA respect honesty and truth above all else. If you say it like I tell you to say it above, you’ll be totally in – because LA hates liars!
