Hey World,
I love to laugh. Honestly, laughing is so healthy and important. I love being around funny people. I'm SO playful, youthful and silly that I can't help but laugh a lot....at myself and others. Lol. Most of my friends are really funny too. In fact, many of my closest friends are comedians--some professional, some should be.
Some of the funniest professional comedians I like:
John Caparulo
BRIAN REGAN
Dane Cook
Chris D'Elia
Dov Davidoff
Dom Irrera
BRYAN FUCKIN CALLEN
Chris Porter
Adam Hunter
Eric Alegria
Morgan Murphy
LITTLE FUCKING ESTHER!!!
Whitney Cummings
I LOVE Diablo Cody's sense of humor --OMG I read "Candy Girl" and her column "I Was A Monster Virgin." I also adore her column "A-Twittering Sunday" or something of that fashion with an insanely detailed reference of Greenblatts....
I LOVE Diablo Cody's show "The United States of Tara." WOW. This is some of the best writing ever..definitely my style. I also adore "Juno" and "Jennifer's Body." In fact, I've watched "Juno" millions of times in both French and English. Besides, I did a 25 page research assignment in my Advanced Rhetoric class on "Juno." Yes, I'm that obsessed with her work. She's a genius. She also went to Benet, which was the Catholic high school my dad wanted me to go to...but I chose Hinsdale Central. GO DEVILS!
Anyway, my friend Dom introduced me to his friend Tosh. He had been talking about the guy to me for so long. He was constantly, "Tosh this..." "I'm at Tosh's house..." "Tosh and I are at the beach..." Whatever, so I met this mysterious man last week upstairs at The Laugh Factory....what a funny guy. He's ridiculously tall too.
I love comedy. I love comics. I love being around it and so I felt like writing about it. I also adore and miss THE SECOND CITY CHICAGO, IO CHICAGO and Io West is okay. I just love being silly, letting go, and not TRYING to be funny...letting funny happen.
Comics have an incredibly hard job because they work their asses off to MAKE funny happen, carefully tailoring it to their audience's demographic and energy.
Peace Out.
Love,
Lexi
