After getting rejected by every venue in Seattle, Mike Murphy, The Brandon Ivey Trio and I decided to take matters into our own hands: we shot the show at my parents house. Guests on the debut episode: Andy Haynes, Rory Scovel and Doktor Diablo.

And here’s the full version of Doktor Diablo’s Three Bottles of Rum:

For those who missed it (or want to re-live it?), these are some of the jokes I told last night at Laff-Hole ‘88:

Apparently you can do comedy at rock clubs now? What’s next Seattle, a black mayor?


I was reading the Seattle PI today, the best newspaper in the city. Lots of construction projects just wrapping up. They finished building the Metro bus tunnel. Perfect, because waiting for the bus on 3rd avenue wasn’t scary enough.


Now you can get robbed underground!


Seriously though. This tunnel was a great idea. Maybe one day they’ll realize what a great idea it was and replace the viaduct with a tunnel…


And the Washington State convention center was completed, that monstrosity over I-5. The city is also launching a new slogan; Seattle: come for the conventions on top of the freeway, stay for the rain.


The Westlake shopping mall just opened. Finally, a place to buy over-priced things downtown.


Seriously though, good luck trying to put Frederick and Nelson out of business.


How about those Seattle Mariners? I don’t want to tell Jim Snyder how to do his job, but signing Steve Balboni was a bad idea. We need baseball players, not pizza makers!


Now the Seahawks, there’s a team that knows what they’re doing. I guarantee that Brian Bosworth will be the greatest player in the history of football AND the greatest actor in the history of motion pictures.

And how about the Kingdome? It’s the best place to be in Seattle…if the Ruskies drop the bomb on us!


Thirty-two year-old Bill Gates is the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, according to Forbes Magazine. The guy still can’t get a date though, am I right?


That computer thing he made is called Windows because that’s what he spends most of his time staring at.


Looking at ladies!


By the way, enough with the flannel, Seattle. Paul Bunyan was supposed to be a myth, not a fashion model.


And I cannot stand what kids are listening to these days. Crunch music or something like that? Please, if I wanted to listen to something awful, I would listen to Tiffany.

It’s the end of February and Mike and I are still working on The Brandon Ivey Show. While you wait, here’s a clip of something that was (ironically) cut from Episode 1:

IF WE HAD TO CUT THAT, JUST THINK OF ALL OF THE STUFF WE KEPT! Don’t think about it too hard though, Episode 1 will probably be ready in a week or so, maybe…
