Headshot? They should call it no shot! Ha Ha Ha ughhhhhhh.

Disclaimer: My writing and grammar has not improved since the last blog. However, I am still awesome.

Headshots are a vital piece of every performers press kit. I could write some solid detailed advice about headshots but why re-invent the wheel when you can click here for that info. Besides I'm only writing this blog so that I can make fun of the headshots below. So let's get started and I'll throw some of my own helpful advice in along the way.


Rule 1. Have Fun!
Sure Ranger Frank may be saying "Don't hire me. I am clearly unstable" with this headshot but I guarantee you he had a fun time in that photo shoot!


2. Think it through
Maybe head shots aren't for you if you're ugly. Listen. Now of course not everybody looks like Brad Pitt but you've got to work with what you've got. CAMMAN! Use some common sense and look in a mirror.

3. Does your headshot match your material?
There's two parts to this one. First, if your wife is in your headshot...get another headshot with just you. Why would you do that? Second, if you going to keep a headshot that has both you and your wife in it...don't do 45 minutes of material on banging German teens while on business trips. The audience won't respect you.

4. Don't try to be too clever.
You're not impressing people with your ability to grow your hair. Keep it simple jackass and just use one picture.

5. Black & white or color?
It really doesn't matter if your headshot is in black & white or color if you look like you touch children.

6. Dress appropriately.
I can't really knock this guy. He looks like every DJ at every wedding I have ever been to. If that is the look this guy is going for...then he nailed it! He is throwing a little something extra in there too. SASS!

Shhh. Dj Robbie Rob is about to tear the roof off this place with a back to back mix of Real McCoy. Oh, it's not just "Another Night"...it's THE night. "Run Away"...

No seriously. Run away.

One Small Step for Me, One Giant Step for DC Comedy

hello everyone,

i'm here to blog for the first time. let's all hope it goes smoothly.

let's say hypothetically you're a comedian and your last name is difficult (not Mensa-difficult but it sounds foreign so you still have a case, judge judy!) anyway, you decide to go by one name instead.

listen.

DON'T DO IT.

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

(hypothetically speaking of course)



WAIT. YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE MY POINT.

here. look closer.



yes. i'm apparently the only theoretical act of the night. as in, i may or may not "exist."

"what?"

"exactly."

stick with two names. even if one is something embarrassing like bubbles. Read more!
