- HO. LEE. CRAP.
Lady luck has, shall we say, blown on my dice kiddos.
I headed down to the GBBC for an open mic night after a month and a half hiatus. First off, the set was money- I had a blast and fell right back into the groove I was in when I left.
But that’s not the important [...]
- Old Republicans Make Great Audiences
I did my first open-mic in a while on Tuesday night. It was a new one that started at this dive in downtown Reno. It was classic. There was an itsy bitsy stage, about 10 people seated right in front of it, and a few scattered folks at the bar. The audience consisted of the [...]
- Last Night at the Great Basin
It went swimmingly. Our pals the Lathers came, as well as one of my co-workers. Each set is feeling progressively better. This one marked my fifth ever- not counting the one in college I’ll tell you about some other time.
I felt more polished up there. Not to say that I wasn’t terrified. For some reason [...]
- Great Basin Brewing Company 10.21.04
There’s a new clip available in the video secion of the site. It’s my latest standup.
I think I’m really starting to find a groove with my performances. One of the other comics came up to me later that night and told me, “you say a lot of offensive stuff- but you make the audience like [...]
- Jokemonkey Update
I almost forgot! I got to do a few commercials. Thanks to Mr. Jerz’s wife, I landed three TV commercials for the Reno Tahoe Open and one radio spot. It was actually over the summer but I wanted to wait for my redesign before I posted them. Ihad a ton of fun doing them and [...]
- Grand Opening of the Video Section!
That’s right, gentle readers- the all new swanky Video Section of edadkins.com is now OPEN!
Feel free to browse and laugh at me.
Just remember- be kind and rewind.
- Jokemonkey Rides Again
Made another go at standup last night. At first I didn’t want to, considering the events of the last week, but I figured it might be therapeutic. This time went much better- I didn’t bother with the notes and I wasn’t so nervious. I was comfortable with the crowd, and even when they didn’t respond [...]

- Dance, Jokemonkey, DANCE!
It’s funny. Ever since I decided to do the competition I’ve found myself feeling extremely UNfunny. I usually walk around at home joking non-stop- and to the perfect audience, my wonderful wifey. She laughs at pretty much anything I do.
But lately I guess I’m just more self-conscious. Like I’m asking myself, “is that really funny?” [...]
- I’m Nervous
Six days till the comedy competition and I’m a bit nervous. Since it’s a weekly thing with a few more left, I went last night to check out the competition one last time.
It still looked manageable. 19 contestants; most were mediocre with 4 that showed some real talent. It won’t be a cake walk, [...]
