The guys who do Comedy Death-Ray every Tuesday night at The UCB Theatre gave me the show. And I booked it with the people who made the biggest impact on me in my 21 year-career. Blaine Capatch is hosting (just like he hosted my first-ever open mike, back in the summer of ’88). And the line-up includes Brian Posehn, Karen Kilgariff, Dana Gould and some surprises. I think the show might already be sold out, but why not go to www.ucbtheatre.com, and see if a ticket has fallen loose?

Then on Saturday, January 31st, at 9pm, I’m doing yet another PATTON OSWALT AND FRIENDS at The Largo on La Cienga.

If Tuesday’s show is me looking back and fondness, Saturday is me looking ahead with excitement. It’s me and a bunch of younger comedians you’ll be paying top dollar to see in a few years. Kyle Kinane, Michelle Biloon, Nick Kroll and a VERY BIG surprise. You’ll see.

There’s a few tickets available for The Largo. You can call 310 855 0350 and get some. See you there!”
