This week my email went out about my fall tour. I'm playing 16 cities in September and October leading up to my off-Broadway debut- but here's the problem: my emails go into a lot of people's spam filters. And I noticed this, because my email goes into my spam filter. I feel like spam filters are like power-trippy bouncers who get carried away. They're like, "Look - lotta emails - not a lot of room in the inbox! Right now we're only taking emails from hot girls and famous people." But getting put in my own spam filter is like being bounced from my own birthday party. I wanna be like, "It's cool. I'm with me."
Dear Journal,
A few weeks ago I was asked to perform at the first annual Nantucket Comedy Festival. As part of the festival they held a roast of the classic comedy duo Stiller & Meara. Now as you know journal, I've never been much of a roaster. Roast comedy is almost like it's own genre. People walk on stage and they're like, "Nice shirt, queer!" and everyone's like, "It's so true! His shirt does suck! I'm from Jersey!"
I was stressed out about coming up with roast jokes, but I threw some together, walked on stage and said:
"When I was asked to be part of the roast of my favorite comedy duo, I said, 'Of course, I'd do anything for Nichols and May.' But then he told me that it was actually Stiller & Meara but it's in Nantucket and we'll put you up at a fancy hotel and I said, 'Ok, well, maybe their son Ben will be there - I mean he used to make to good movies.'
Mike is one of the hottest comedians in America today. He likes bears...
