New Google Ranking: 10!

Well I don't know how the fuck this happened. I was anticipating a slower climb to the front page since our last two ranking updates occurred at #193 and #145 but as of right now, when googling "DC COMEDY" our blog is on the front page. So instead of our usual retrospective on the website that we bumped to get to our new spot on the list, we are looking forward, to the number 9 spot and the next website to fall at the hands of the asshole jerks that run this shitblog. (it doesn't come more self-deprecating than that, folks)


Coming in at number nine is Washington Comedy which has the most interestingly narrow-broad focus I've ever seen for a website. Its focus seems to be listing comedy clubs for both Washington State AND Washington, DC as well as promoting comedians from Dallas, TX(?). Please go to this website because I need someone else to tell me that it is actually what I think it is. Also it gives me a great idea to start a car dealership/pickle vendor that specializes in psychotherapy. (that joke was not difficult to write)

New Google Ranking: 145!

Hey everyone, I'm back with another update on the meteoric rise of this so-called blog. When last we met this blog was ranked 192 when googling the phrase "dc comedy." Well, as you know by now we, have shot-the-hell-up to 145! Congratulations, DC! However, with any amount of success there inevitably will be people left in your wake. Who now has to go through life in the embarrassing #146 position? Well that would be everybody's favorite Mormon Comedy Troupe, Divine Comedy (DC=Divine Comedy, get it?). So to help make their day a little less sad, we are going to tell the whole world what's up with the funny Mormons these days.





"Divine Comedy" is BYU's "premiere sketch comedy troupe." That being said, I could not find another Mormon sketch comedy troupe. Also, I did not look for one. Alumni include many people who have given up comedy for...other things. While never having experienced a Divine Comedy show, I can only assume that the limitations of avoiding certain subject matter and foul language required by Mormon Law have opened up a creativity that most comedians could never dream of. It is truly inspiring.

However, while this troupe seems harmless on the surface, we may have another Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia-like material stealing incident on our hands, folks. While perusing through Divine Comedy's videos, which are almost all hilarious spoofs on of-the-moment pop culture like "Star Wars," (Star Wars, can you believe it? Hilarious!) I did find an intro video that looks suspiciously like one made by local comedians for the Rendezvous Open mic. Watch both and then decide for yourself.

Google Ranking for this blog: 192!

Whenever I have new blog, I am always very concerned as to where it ends up in the Google rankings. When typing "DC Comedy" into the Google search engine, this blog is currently the 192rd entry. We can do better than this DC! I know we are new but we are also the most impatient of all blogs about DC comedy.
However, with any amount of success there inevitably will be people left in your wake. Who now has to go through life in the embarrassing #193 position? Well that would be everybody's favorite comedic juggler, Rich Potter. So to help make his day a little less sad, we are going to tell the whole world what's up with Rich these days.

Rich has more than a few headshots on his website but I chose this one as my favorite because it's the only one where he's not holding any juggling equipment. Rich is given the daunting task of trying his best to portray the fact that he is a comedic juggler with only a smirk and a slight shoulder raise and I must say the man pulls it off expertly.

This ain't no average juggler here folks. Apparently Rich was once on Letterman! I know this because on his website he boasts a quote from Paul Shaffer detailing the brilliance of his performance. "Definitely," says Paul. I'm not sure if there was more to that quote or if it was just Paul's response when Rich asked if he could get him a cup of coffee but a quote like that doesn't lie folks. Definitely. Read more!
