Curt! Hey, Curt! Hello?! Mr. Shackelford?!!!!


Curt! I've been sending you emails! Why haven't you returned my emails? Curt, I need you! You are the godfather of DC comedy so if I don't have your ear I got nothing! Nothing! I'm on my knees over here! My knees! I know you read this blog, Curt.
Curt, I'm gonna come at you like a man. Look, dude, i got a dream, and that dream involves you emailing me back once. Just to tell me that you're alright. I worry about you, Curt(If that is your real name). I know this comedy life is lived in the fast lane and there are a lot of temptations. But you are better than that, so put whatever is keeping you from returning emails down, and pick up your laptop and holla at ya boy! Just in case you really haven't gotten my emails, here are some that I have sent you over the last few weeks:

Hey Curt, this is Nick, I'm Rory's friend who did the Hyatt back in August. I'd like to come do Topaz on Thursday if there is still time open. Also I would love to come back to the Hyatt any time you have an open slot. Thanks Curt, Nick



Hey Curt, I just wanted to make sure that this was the correct email address. Let me know, Nick

Hey curt. still trying to get a hold of you, seeing if I can do one of
your shows. Let me know, or at least let me know if you hate me and want me to die so i don't have to keep sending you emails. Thanks
Curt, PEACEnick

Curt! I've been shot! I need your help! I'm dying over here!
Auuuugghhhh!! Please, this is probably the last email I will ever be able to write...tell my mom that i love her, tell my dad that he sucks at backgammon, and tell my dog...that he died 8 years ago. Curt!
HEEELP!!!

Curt, that is all I can do and I can't do no more. Is this the end of the road for the tumultuous twosome? Will nick ever get a date or will he wallow in obscurity forever? Tune in next week to read the exciting conclusion of...."YA BANNED!"

I find it upsetting that a single man pretty much runs the entire stand up scene. It's terribly depressing.

I find it upsetting that with your general disdain for the DC scene, your failure to understand the overall comedy industry and your inability to act in a professional manner, you guys are trying to position yourselves as spokespeople for "the scene." It's terribly depressing.

Debate, sons! Do either of you have any ideas on how to make things better? Let's do this, DC!
