Hilarious Histories - June 20
I don’t know if you’ve ever dropped a telephone into a bathtub...
Long ago on June 20, 1975, thousands, if not millions, of people became afraid of going near the water. June 20 was also the day that Alexander Graham Bell installed the first ever commercial telephone service. Coincidence? I think not. I don’t know if you’ve ever dropped a telephone into a bathtub. We’ve all heard that dropping a toaster in there is lethal. I personally don’t eat toast in the…

After watching some of Tahir Moore’s standup on Instagram, he kind of had a great point about fitness centers and gyms. One for the folks who got their fitness regimen together, one for, well, everybody else. Because at the beginning of my fitness journey, my kindergarten ass had no business trying to learn any schoolwork from 6th grade! Let me explain… When I was a kid, I needed no motivation,…

COMEDY & MUSIC: A MATCH MADE IN ENTERTAINMENT HEAVEN

In the entertainment industry, it’s not unusual to see entertainers crossing over to another sector of the arts. A singer may try their hand at acting, an actor may try their hand at singing. We’ve seen plenty of success stories where juggling all these talents have worked well for Hollywood stars. However, one area that deserves more recognition is the relationship between comedy and music. Not…

Living Unapologetically on the Stage and Off
“Sista Lu” itself has a double meaning. Not only is it her stage name, but a personal motto for Lu. “It stands for ‘live unapologetic.’
Sista Lu is a comedian based in and working in the Columbus, Ohio area. While she has been in the scene for a couple years, she has already made great strides in her career, hoping to become an “all-Ohio comedian.” Lu always felt as if she was destined for comedy at a young age. “I was very inquisitive as a child, I asked a lot of questions.” Lu’s comedy often stems from her observations about…

Adam Conover: Connecting Comedy to Education
He made it easy to laugh at the most overwhelming topics...
Some people say that politics don’t belong in entertainment. Taking a mere glance at centuries worth of literature and playwriting would prove that this is very much not the case. Going back as far as the 1500s, you can see the great political impact that Shakespeare’s plays had on society in England. Comedy is a highly intriguing genre; there’s no boundaries as to what it must be. What a person…

Getting to Know Comedian Silas
I would say every comedian I’ve been on stage with...
1. What made you want to explore comedy? I think I’ve always been a silly kid and I kinda just stumbled into it when I started telling jokes, and I was getting laughs, and I would think “I kind of like that.’’ So, I would sneak in my little jokes; I would write, and people would laugh. Long story short, I went to an open mic, I didn’t bomb, so I said “Okay, this is something I could continue…

The Santa Clause(s)
One of the sweetest and funniest scenes is when...
The Santafication process has begun! The 1994 film The Santa Clause has become a holiday classic ever since its release. Tim Allen, the charismatic lead actor, brings much with sarcasm to the role that results in classic scenes and lines for generations of laughs. The classic magic of the first film is believing, which is one of the many reasons it is so nostalgic for families. Of course, we…

Bad Santa
We can't fail to mention that Bernie Mac is in this movie.
Bad Santa is a lovely film starring Billy Bob Thornton, written by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. I believe it really encapsulates the spirit of the holidays. The main character Willy, played by Thornton, is a greedy, raging alcoholic with no real friends or family that poses as a mall Santa every year in order to rob the shopping centers. His partner Marcus who is played by Tony Cox, hates him…

An Appetite for Success: Jaye Brock  
Brock also emphasizes the importance of being confident, claiming that the audience can sense the energy. “If they see you’re up there scared, they’ll smell blood in the water.”
The multidimensional levels of comedy go deeper than meets the eye. In a recent interview, I got the privilege of speaking with the multitalented Jaye Brock, in which he discussed the dedication and ambition it takes to be successful in not only comedy but in almost any aspect of life. “I’m my hardest critic, I’m never satisfied.” Brock said, “I’m always trying to reach the next level and get…

Hilarious Histories - July 26
Letters in meaningful arrangements constitute words, so something like this is meaningful, but something like piquant isn’t...
On July 26, 1775, the United States Post Office was established by the Second Continental Congress. On the exact same day in 1945, Sir Winston Churchill resigned from the post of prime minister. Coincidence? I think not. The Second Continental Congress was responsible for the Declaration of Independence, which established the United States. They sent it (the declaration, not the country) by mail…

Betty White, Our Golden Girl

Betty “Freakin” White. America’s Golden Girl. The world’s Golden Girl. My Golden Girl. (Sorry Bea Arthur) Her death shook the Earth and affected us all deeply.
