The Cosby Show

Nov

As I sit here watching a look back on The Cosby Show I think about how I spent most of my childhood watching that show. It truely helped shape my life, values and comedy. I think back at how funny but almost pure that show is and how it would not survive in this modern day tv environment. As I grew up in a city where crack viles laced my school playground The Cosby show showed me something that was not what was going on around me. Cooler then that, my grandparents lived in a brownstone. It attack the family element from every angle and was funny

I remember that was a show that stuck out to me. It helped shape my comedy on the light-hearted side.

Shows, Shows, Shows

So I haven’t done a show in a while and I’m happy to be doing another. To think last week I was hating my comedy and was so depressed about it. How wierd the human mind is. It all started with Friday’s Late Show at the Westend Comedy theater. I got to do about 18min most was imprompt to crowd work. It was the most fun as of yet on stage. Here that set.mp3 logo
Tonight I have an open mic at the Improv, though it’ll be the third one I’ve done there, I don’t want to do bad. But I don’t want to worry cause it’s not like they are going to have me go up regularly. I’m going to treat it like a show/ open mic, a little bit of exploration but professional. What’s on the list right now:

movie
crowd work
ghost
limos
journal of stds
porch monkey
crooked cops

Like anyone but me and michelle knows what any of that means.
Oh, also I’m in talks with the president of Barking Spoon Productions about getting my own show (by the way that’s me). I want to do a videocast of ideas that are hard to do on stage. I a show called…say…The Josh Weatherspoon show. It would be 5-10min long once a month I want to start it in Jan and go through August, in a let’s say season fashion. That way I can think up of more crap and I will be able to get this small idea to materialize into something.

Well go to to go my work mac has rebooted.
