Bobby Slayton Wrap-up

2012-01-23T09:31:00.006-06:00

I had a great weekend at the Kansas City Improv. What an honor to work with Bobby Slayton. Big thanks to the staff at the Improv who always treat me like a king when I'm there.

Genius at work...Bobby, not me

The highlight of the weekend was when I offered Bobby a silly tag to one of his jokes that he used in his set on Sunday. There is no better feeling than hearing a comedy legend like Bobby say some of your words and get a big laugh.

Are you listening, comedy management? Send me more writing jobs!

Here are front-row laughers Megan and Megan with their collection of Improv-branded glasses. If you go to the Improv and you have to use a paper cup, blame them!

I will be their next Tuesday hosting the next round of Clash of the Comics. See you then!

Bobby Slayton, Seka, and more!

2012-01-21T12:45:00.005-06:00

Great shows last night at the Kansas City Improv with comedy legend Bobby Slayton. Bobby did radio with Johnny Dare that morning. The Johnny Dare crowds are hands-down the hottest crowds. These fools know how to have a good time and come to ready laugh. My buddy Sean Brennan featured and everyone had great sets.

Here's me, 70's adult-film star Seka, and Bobby Slayton:

I have a private show tonight in Kansas but will be back at the Improv Sunday for the last show with Bobby. Hope to see you there!

RIP Comedian Kurt Ramos

2011-12-03T08:55:00.007-06:00

Thursday my good friend and fellow comedian Kurt Ramos passed away in Colorado. My heart goes out to his wife Susan and his boys.

I was there there very first time Kurt did comedy. Will C and I had a show and Kurt and Susan came to watch. He introduced himself after the show and said it was his dream to be a comedian. After a few minutes of talking, Will and I handed him the microphone and forced him to do comedy. He was a natural. His comedy was personal, honest, with a great point of view.

This is a picture of Kurt that night - his very first time on stage. What an honor to have witnessed that.

Our friendship grew, and we did many shows together. I will miss talking to him on the phone, running new joke ideas by each other, or talking about life.

My phone rang the other night while I was working. The caller id said it was Kurt. I figured I would just call him back when I was done. I wish I knew it would be the last time I would hear his laugh. I keep staring at my phone, wishing I could go back and answer it.

I miss him already. RIP my friend.

Shawnee Mission Kia Halloween Commercial with Jen

2011-10-08T09:02:00.004-05:00

I got to provide some more comedy relief in the new Shawnee Mission Kia Halloween Commercial with Jen (although Jen is hilarious on her own).

Patrick Rea directed and was great with the kids. My daughter Sophia got to be one of the kids in the spot. She was so excited to be on the set. At one point during the shoot, she ran around the corner and said, "I want to do this all the time!" Watch your back, Watson's Girl.

Here's a little sneak peek, behind the scenes pic of Jen and me.

Get Off My Porch review at We Are Movie Geeks

2011-08-12T11:26:00.003-05:00

Great review of Get Off My Porch starring comedian Brad Meehan and Katherine McNamara at wearemoviegeeks.com:

"I’ll give GET OFF MY PORCH, a 13-minute short, an “A” for “awesome” because I had a so much fun watching the film. I laughed, but I also felt legitimately spooked, especially once the true evil nature of the girl scouts bares its metaphorical fangs."

Bob Hamilton - Free-bruary Commercial

Here's the latest Bob Hamilton commercial featuring Kansas City comedian Brad Meehan.

Hyundai Commercial Shoot

2011-02-07T19:30:00.009-06:00

Today we shot a commercial that I wrote for Hyundai! This is going to be hilarious! I won't tell you what it's about until it airs. I don't want to ruin the surprise.

I played a doctor along side the lovely Teresa Eblen, my comedy writing partner and great friend Andrea Caspari, and CJ Johnson. I wrote this a month ago and presented it to the folks at Hyundai. They said they loved the concept and approved it. Today we put my ideas into motion.

Chavon was on set to doctor up my sweaty face (BTW: someone once told me I had the "greasiest eyelids). The commercial was produced by BicMedia and was directed by Emmy Award-winner Patrick Rea.

Quote of the day:
Chris: What's your birthstone?
Me: Crack rock

Does this look infected?

Girl Scout Troop 666

2011-01-15T11:35:00.017-06:00

I hate the Girl Scouts and their delicious cookies and so should you.

Ready to perpetuate the obesity epidemic

Every New Years Eve, I make the same resolution as you do: "I'm going to diet. I'm going to exercise. I'm going to look good." And then, without fail, a pallet of Girl Scout Cookies arrives at my house as if to say, "You'd be better off making a resolution to get diabetes."

The deal always goes down the same way. They show up at your house back in October, before all of the the candy-drenched holidays and when you're still feeling good about yourself. With their freshly pressed uniforms, sunny smiles, and glossy brochures filled with colorful boxes of perfectly lit cookies, you have no choice but to buy some.

"Sure, I'll take two boxes of Thin Mints, please. ...Wait, make that forty boxes. I'll freeze them," I say.

I have no intention of freezing them. I'm going to eat them - all of them. I'm going to stack them up like poker chips and shove them in my face one by one in a high-stakes game of chance.

"I'll see your Thin Mint and I'll raise you a Shortbread."

"I'm all in."

You got to know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em.

Kansas City has the smartest Girl Scouts in the United States. Last year this girl talked me into buying 26 boxes of cookies. Six weeks later, the same little girl was going door-to-door selling Jenny Craig memberships.

Here's my recent run in with an evil troop:

Comedian Brad Meehan in a commercial for Shawnee Mission Kia. I presented this concept to Jen, who in-turn got the 'go ahead' to produce it. Here, fortune teller "Madam Jen" predicts a GREAT deal on a KIA Sorento in your future! But be careful what you wish for...

Congratulations to BicMedia, Patrick Rea, Chris Overholt, Jen Plas and Shawnee Mission Kia for a wonderful job.

John Witherspoon - Wrap Up

2010-11-28T11:04:00.006-06:00

I'm wrapping up my week with America's favorite dad, "John Witherspoon". I have been opening for him and James Johann at the Kansas City Improv comedy club. John is probably the most genuine, down-to-earth comedians I've had the opportunity to open for at the club.

Brad, John Witherspoon, Bride-a-licious

Jerold "Action" Jackson and his team from Kansas City's Magic 107.3 has been there all weekend promoting the shows. As a result, the crowds have been amazing.

John and I got to talking about wine, so I brought him a bottle of Malbec to share. World Famous Gates Barbecue brought a nice mix plate, which made it very hard to leave the green room to do my set.

My bride came out to the shows last night and hung out for both shows. I love making her laugh.

Brad and Mrs. Meehan

Melinda J, my screen wife from the Bob Hamilton commercial was there with her husband Mark as a birthday surprise. Happy birthday, Mark.

Shawnee Mission Kia Commerical Shoot

2010-11-23T19:59:00.014-06:00

Today I got to be in another commercial - this time for Shawnee Mission Kia. I got to work with the two-time Emmy Award winning Jennifer Plas - a terrific actor, producer, and friend of mine. You might recognize Jen from, well...everything.

Jen was playing a fortune teller who 'saw a Kia in my future'. The spot was produced by BicMedia and was directed by (another Emmy winner) Patrick Rea with Chris Overholt as the Director of Photography.

It's hard to keep a straight face around people who are naturally funny like Plas. I have no idea why she's not a comic.

Phrase of the day: "Usable Meat"

Classic Patrick Rea storyboard. Check out how buff I look!

Patrick dresses the set, while Chavon puts the finishing touches on Jen

Halloween 2010

2010-11-02T09:18:00.004-05:00

Taught my daughter a valuable lesson while sorting through her Halloween candy. I took half of it away and said, "See, kid. That's what it's like to pay taxes".

-

Cleavage is the Hamburger Helper of costumes. #justAddBoobs #sluttyMarioBros #Halloween

-

Dressing up as Brett Favre for Halloween. Anyone have a grey merkin I can borrow?

-

I wish they made a 'Chris Hansen' Halloween costume from "To Catch a Predator". Instead of saying "trick-or-treat" I'd say, "Have a seat. I read your chat log..." That'd scare ya.

-

Outsourcing trick-or-treater's next year. Let the candy come to me. #slob

I think I just heard my dog say, "chocolate shmocholate. Give me some candy, b*tch"

Dogs look at Halloween candy the way men look at strippers. Stare all you want, but you still won't get any. #whoppers #milkDuds

Her: "Just think of all the money we save on gas by me not having to drive to a job"

Outback Saloon - Marceline, MO

2010-10-01T09:40:00.003-05:00

Last night comedian Bill Blank invited me to open for him in Marceline, MO - a cute little town in northeast Missouri. Marceline is touted as the 'boyhood home of Walt Disney' - or conversely, 'the town that Walt Disney wanted to get the hell out of'. It took a few minutes for my GPS to comprehend that I actually wanted to go to Marceline. I'm guessing most GPS requests are for leaving Marceline.

Of course, I got lost - again. I asked someone for directions and she actually said, "Follow me". You don't get that kind of service in a big city.

I had a fantastic time and it was definitely worth the 2 hour drive. The owners of the Outback Saloon made us feel very welcome and the people were ready for a good laugh.

Thanks, Outback Saloon!

R.I.P. Greg Giraldo

2010-09-29T16:19:00.004-05:00

Comedian Greg Giraldo has died.

I spent a week opening for Greg last year at the Kansas City Improv. Watching him perform was bittersweet: I was lost in laughter, and at the same time I found myself extremely jealous of his ability to write the perfect joke. His material was the perfect mix of smart and dumb. Just when you thought the joke was going to be way over your head, he would turn it and end it with the most ridiculous punchline.

He had a notebook that was folded in half that he would scribble new ideas into. After each set, he would write some chicken-scratch on a page, fold the notebook, and stick it back in his pocket. I can only imagine what amazing gems are in that book that will never grace our ears.

He was a 'comic's comic'; that is, someone that all comedians strive to be - honest and biting, but hilarious at the same time. I remember standing in the back of the room with comedian Jason Dixon during his set. Jason turned to me at one point and said, "F*cking amazing."

He traveled with a 'sober coach' that week - a 20-something kid that hung around to make sure Greg didn't get himself into trouble after (or before) the shows. I had never heard of a traveling sober companion, but I truly respected him for tossing embarrassment and pride aside to ensure he stayed sober.

He will be missed by many fans and comedians alike. RIP, G.G.

His me time is interrupted when two girl scouts, Mary (McNAMARA) and Cindy (STRICKLER) show up on his porch to sell him some cookies.

Snore-ture Chamber

2010-08-10T13:30:00.004-05:00

My wife says I snore.

I love how it's socially acceptable to do anything you want to someone to get them to stop snoring. I've been elbowed, hit, kicked, punched, shaken, stirred, and titty-twistered in the middle of the night. Either I really have a snoring problem, or she's found the greatest loophole in the Geneva Convention of acceptable marital fighting.

Do you realize the genius in that? What if I don't really snore and this is her passive-aggressive way of getting even? She can hit me as hard as she wants while I'm sleeping, and I have to apologize for it.

Still Thirty-Something

2010-08-09T07:07:00.004-05:00

I had a wonderful birthday. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. Let's do it again next year.

My day started with the daily, traditional 'fighting of the kids' ceremony. Someone was on someone else's 'side of the couch'. I could buy a ten thousand foot-long couch and it still wouldn't be big enough for my kids to sit in harmony. I don't know who to blame. I guess that the kid that denies it the loudest is the kid that started it.

My day ended with me watching preseason football - alone - in our room with the door shut. Patience is gone. Sanctuary. Watching preseason football is bittersweet. It's about as exciting as seeing boobs in a National Geographic (Amazon issue, June 1984) - good enough until the real thing comes along.

My wife gave me 39 'birthday spankings' on the back-side and a 'pinch to grow an inch' in the front.

Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story - Stolen Manuscript!

2010-08-07T08:59:00.007-05:00

Justing Bieber is writing an autobiography entitled, "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story".

Here is a stolen excerpt from the manuscript:

"One time, in the bathroom of a Chuck E. Cheese, I did lines of Pixie Stix off a Barbie's ass."

In related news, Bieber will co-star with Whoopie Goldberg in the new Spike Lee joint called, "Jungle Bieber Fever".

Marriage Tips

2010-08-05T09:17:00.007-05:00

I never want to get divorced. Not because of love and commitment, but because moving sucks and I have big furniture. There would be a huge custody battle over who has to take the armoire.

Every day I ask myself which is worse: Her driving me crazy, or me driving a U-Haul? We're staying together - at least until the kids are old enough to carry boxes.

If you want to stay together, don't go to a marriage counselor, go to Ikea. Nothing says 'together forever' like three flights of stairs and a big-ass sectional.

Douglas County Bank Commercial Shoot

2010-08-04T16:00:00.007-05:00

This week I was the dad/hubby in a commercial for Douglas County Bank in Lawrence, KS. I got to work with the uber-talented Erin McGrane and two adorable kids.

Eric McGrane and Brad Meehan

...still holding out for a Hooters ad.

My kids got to be extras in the shoot. One of my hillbilly kids forgot to wear shoes and I had to turn around and go get them. During the shoot, the kids were supposed to stand in the background and pretend they were talking. Ariana thought Connor wasn't fake-talking good enough and told him he was a bad actor - then he started to cry. Nothing says fun in the sun like a crying kid in the background of a commercial. A bribe of twenty bucks dried his tears.

Here I am sweating my butt off in a 'picnic' scene. You know you're out of shape when you sweat from just sitting.

Prairie Band Casino Commerical

2010-07-10T16:52:00.004-05:00

I realized I never posted my pics from the Prairie Band Casino commercial I was in.

Here is the final cut of the commercial. I'm the white guy.

Smelly Feet

2010-07-10T10:39:00.004-05:00

I took Connor to the pool last weekend for a little 'man time'. The water was filled with kids, which meant it was a perfect 98.6 degrees. In the shallow end, I noticed a dark object on the bottom of the pool. I jokingly said, "Hey, Connor. It looks like someone pooped in the pool."

"No," he giggled. "It's just a rock."

"You want to dive for the roc?" I asked.

"Sure!" he replied.

With one fell swoop, I grabbed the object with my toes, like a stuffed animal Claw Machine that you see in arcades and pizza parlors. I had it about knee-high before I realized this was not a rock, but was, in fact, a turd that I had in the grasp of my sunburned pink toes.

I panicked. 'There's poop in the pool!" I shouted.

It was as if I yelled, "SHARK!" People screamed and scattered towards the stairs and ladders. People were swimming on top of people. I saw a grandma running across the top of the water.

"Women and children first!" I heard someone cry.

The pool was empty within four seconds and I limped (for some reason) to the stairs.

Claw Machine

The following week, the pool reopened after a cleaning and sanitizing. As I sat in my lounge chair reading the paper, I overheard people talking about the incident. It's amazing how a story can change as it travels through the tangled vines of gossip. "I heard someone picked it up with their bare hand," someone whispered. My embarrassment outweighed my pride and I kept my mouth shut. "It was my foot," I thought.

Drive Me Nuts

2010-06-26T08:57:00.016-05:00

They say 50% of all marriages end in divorce. The other 50% have probably never been on vacation together.

Today we're driving from Kansas City to Grand Rapids, MI. We're not even to the bottom of the driveway and the kids are already fighting. It's hard to threaten to 'turn this car around' when you're still facing the house. I'll bet there's a fortune to be made in road-side vasectomy clinics and drive-thru divorce courts.

My wife refuses to drive. She has climbed into the back seat to watch a movie with the kids. I'm in the front seat alone, like a chauffeur driving Ms. Lazy.

Sounds of The Twilight Saga ooze in from the back. "Why can't you be more like Edward Cullen," she asks? "Why can't you be more like Jenna Jameson," I think to myself? Touché.

We're less than an hour into the trip and they already have to stop. If god wanted us to use rest areas he wouldn't have invented Gatorade bottles.

Rest areas are so disgusting. I wish the sinks were outside of the restroom. The OCD hand-washer in me can't stop thinking of how many truckers went straight 'dick-to-door' and touched the door handle without washing first. And now by opening the door, I'm going to contaminate the entire box of Wheat Thins because I touched a trucker cock by proxy.

Is it wrong to wish laryngitis upon your own kids? My son has decided to read every sign between here and Michigan out loud.

"Dad, what's a 'work zone'?"

That's where you see all the construction workers and the plastic cones.

"Dad, what's 'Hooters'?"

That's where you see all the construction workers and the plastic 'cones'.

Kids do not understand the concept of 'comfortable silence'. I just want to hear the hum of my Good Year's against the pavement. But just when I get comfortable, another question smacks me in the back of the head. It's like driving with a van-full of smoke detectors with dying batteries.

Topping off the tank at a BP gas station. Accidentally spilled some gas when I pulled the pump out. Immediately mopped it up with a pelican.

She agreed to drive for a bit. I hate when she drives. She either drives too slow or too fast depending on what song is playing on the radio.

If Air Supply is playing, we're doing 59 mph in the left lane, oblivious to the train of cars stacked up behind us angrily flashing their lights. I feel like I'm riding in my own funeral procession.

If Metallica is playing, and we're weaving in and out of traffic in a top-heavy minivan, doing lane changes up on two wheels. I felt safer with my grandpa driving with a beer in one hand, the other hand covering his eye so he could see straight, while steering with his knee.

If only there were a band somewhere in the middle, with the perfect mix of electric guitar and queer. "Dear Casey: Can you please play, 'Creed'?"

Traffic jam. You can tell a lot about someone by the bumper stickers on their car. I'm behind a Prius with a gay pride rainbow sticker. Is the rainbow even necessary? On the hierarchy of gay transportation, the Prius comes in just after 'rollerblades' and just before 'Wiener Mobile'.

Not much car talk going on - or none I'm into. I can usually tell within the first few words of a sentence if whether or not I'm going to pay attention to the rest of the conversation. It's like a little game show I play with myself in my head. "I can tune out in three words."

Connor and I have to use the bathroom. I ask if she needs to stop. She doesn't. 'She doesn't' means 'we can't'. She's determined to get there first. Before whom, I have no idea. She talks me out if it by saying, "If we stop we're switching drivers." I'll take the guy in the Prius.

Comedian Jus Jay

Everything I want to write I wish I would have said to you before you were gone.

We came up through the comedy scene together and I was honored to watch you grow leaps and bounds above everyone. I could sit in the back of the room and listen to your stories all day long. You had a special way of story telling through voices, words, and facial expressions that made us forget we were watching Jay and were actually in the football locker room with your crazy coach, seeing a kid dressed as orange juice on Halloween, or whatever.

I remember sitting in the green room before a show and telling you not to say, "f*ck" on stage. I didn't think you could do a whole set without it and you rose to the challenge. I sat in the back of the room with a piece of paper ready to tally them up, but you did it and gave me this look of 'take that, dickhead' when you got off the stage.

Watching you perform challenged me to write more and to be more honest with myself and my material. You were the same person off stage as you were on stage and that is the goal of the comedian. You found out that secret early and were kind enough to share it with the rest of us. I wish you were here so I could tell you, "thank you".

Thank you for letting me be a part of your life. I am proud to call you my friend and I will miss you.

Your friend,
Brad Meehan

Get Off My Porch Review

2010-06-03T13:09:00.005-05:00

Here's a nice review of "Get Off My Porch" from Felix Vasquez Jr. at Cinema Crazed.

In the vein of genre gems like "Creepshow" and "The Ray Bradbury Theater," Patrick Rea conceives yet another great short film meshing tones of horror, comedy, and science fiction with a twist of Serling to keep Rea at a constant high. I hope to see more from Rea in the future, because there's no telling what madness he can wreak with a feature length film.

God Bless-a Odessa

2010-05-26T15:34:00.003-05:00

I had a fantastic show in Odessa, Missouri performing at a football team fundraiser. This was my first "BYOB" comedy show, and boy did they B the B. There were coolers stacked on top of coolers. I got offered four beers just walking from the back of the room to the stage. It was like a redneck After School Special. One girl rolled me a beer during my set. The people were exactly my age and demographic - late 30's parents. It was the best time I've had in a while. I wish all shows could be like that one...

I was a little nervous about the show since that is not my demographic. I normally don't perform for dead people. They say if you're nervous you're supposed to imagine eveyone sitting in their underwear. That totally worked. I went from nervous to nauseous instantly.

Too Old To Breastfeed

2010-03-25T14:58:00.050-05:00

I was recently called a "misogynist" by a group of breastfeeding advocates ("lactivists") because of some comments I made about a lady who breastfed her son until he was almost 6 years old. Now, I would have been upset, but first I had to look up 'misogynist'.

I'm not against breastfeeding. In fact, I think breasts are the greatest drink dispenser since the beer helmet. But in my opinion, six seems a little old to still be breastfeeding. He almost has his wisdom teeth, for chrissake. I figured maybe the lady didn't know when to stop? Therefore, I've compiled a list of Top Ten Signs He's Too Old To Breastfeed. This should smooth things over.

Top Ten Signs He's Too Old To Breastfeed

10. His chin gives you whisker burn
9. He refers to lunch as 'the nooner'
8. He winks and says, "Wanna play Tune in Tokyo?"
7. Your nipple smells like Skoal
6. He refers to the Victoria Secret catalog as 'The Kids Menu'
5. He rolls over and grunts, "Got a light?"
4. You've pumped into his Thermos
3. He nicknamed your girlfriends, "Potluck"
2. He's mixing breast milk with vodka to make "White Trash Russians"
1. You pat his back and he burps the alphabet

Ku Klux Klean

I was watching a show on the History Channel about the history of the KKK and I thought, "Now would be an awkward time for a Clorox commercial."

Biblical Hoarders

2010-03-23T12:58:00.002-05:00

I'll bet Noah was just a hoarder who collected dirty animals in his boat. Then one rainy afternoon, in a baby-step towards recovery, he got rid of his unicorns.

Here is Kansas City comedian Brad Meehan in an ad for Marketplace in Lawrence. I was the doctor. "Does this look infected?"

Reparations Deal

Did you know the original Reparations deal was for "40 Acres and a White Woman"? And they said, "Screw that. Got anything less stubborn?"

My 10 year-old daughter asked me what a 'virgin' was. I showed her my senior picture. She said, "I thought that was a 'homo'?"

When it comes to eating habits, there's a thin line between 'pregnant woman' and 'stoner'

Asked Connor to list some things he loved. "Mom & Dad" came in right after Nintendo DS, bean bag, and BBQ sauce. In all fairness, it is good BBQ sauce.

Great. My daughter now knows what a 'period' is. "It's the thing mommy gets on holidays, anniversaries, and vacations" where magically every 28 days, Snack Fairies appear and fill our cupboards.

PMS: Purchase More Snacks

I hate cats but I love cat naps.

I love award shows. I wish I could play orchestra music whenever I wanted someone to stop talking.

I've eaten so much junk food lately if I cut my finger queso would come out.

Watching a transgendered couple assemble a crib on Discovery Health. She might have changed her gender but you can't change the fact that 's/he' just hammered with a shoe.

I'm going to send the kids to their rooms today - as punishment for anything they might have gotten away with.

Hard to believe a few people my age are already grandparents! Can't imagine being called 'grandpa'. There are days when I don't even want to be called 'dad'.

Nothing like coming home to 3 screaming kids. It's days like these when I wish Maury Povich would pop out if the closet with the DNA test results. "You are NOT the baby daddy."

Daughter asked me if girls at my school wore Poodle Skirts. Yeah. Right after corsets and powdered-wigs went out of style.

Time Served

I hate when you ask someone how long they've been married, they also feel compelled to tell you how long they dated as well. Like, "We've been married for a year, but have been together for five." When men say it, it means, "I was afraid of commitment but now I want the credit for it." When women say it, it means, "I want everyone to know just how long I've been putting up with his sh*t."
