2012 New Years Resolutions for Every Unpaid Comedian On Earth

1. Post More / Post Less / Be Funnier on Twitter

2.  Stop doing that stand up show in the back of the BBQ restaurant / dude’s garage / Laugh Factory that always makes you feel like garbage

3.  Learn how to act, audition, get rich

4.  Stop drinking before shows, slow down drinking during shows, continue drinking after shows

5.  Stop saying “So what else is going on?” on stage

6.  Update your website to make yourself sound more successful than you are

7.  Finish that pilot script and get it to that guy you know that knows that guy in the mailroom at that production company (first: find free screenwriting software)

8.  Buy furniture like a goddamn human being

9.  Talk to friends who are getting paid and ask them to ‘hook a brother up’

10.  Sort out life.


Phil Ranta Writing for “Up Late”!

Phil Ranta Writing for “Up Late”!


Up Late with Adam Fisher is an awesome show.  It’s a late night talk show complete with guests, monologues, and desk piecesthat are entirely written during the show based on suggestions from the audience.  Plus, some of their past guests have been personal heroes of mine, including Paul F. Tompkins, Ben Garant, and the guys behind the Superego podcast.

Must take some pretty brilliant writers, huh?

Exactly!  And that’s why Phil Ranta (of PhilRanta.com fame) will be writing for the show on November 18 at 10:30 pm at ComedySportz LA!  If you’re in the LA area, don’t miss this show!

The guests will be Andres du Bouchet (Conan writer and all-around badass) and Jenny Flack (Sarah Silverman, Community).
