The Worst Comedy Set I’ve Ever Seen

The Worst Comedy Set I’ve Ever Seen

This collection of writers at Fancy Boys Club all have one thing in common: stand-up comedy. Some of us perform (or have performed) it. Some of us produce (or have produced) it. All of us love it. Or have loved it and then hated it and then loved it again. Relationships with comedy can be very complicated.

I’ve been lucky enough to be performing stand-up comedy for over 12 years now. How am I as a comedian? I’m… ok. There are nights when I have amazing sets and nights when I bomb. Most sets lie somewhere in the middle of those.

This Article May Save Your Life Someday

Every station I flip through airs footage of the AmazonRainforest on fire. Animals running for shelter, environmentalists shoutingthat this is one resource we cannot afford to lose.

Drama Queen

‘The fools,’ I think to myself, as I set my cell phone downand spin in my desk chair. I look out the window before placing my hand on itlongingly, because I’m totally sad right now.

Easy Guide to Comedy

When pursuing stand up comedy, maintaining discipline is a constant struggle when developing your material.  I have read a lot of literature on how to develop my own comedy and have always just wanted a simple guideline of advice to do so.  After 7 years this is probably the best and simplest advice I have for developing one’s material. Keep in mind that comedy is a very personal journey so please feel free to adjust this guideline to what works best for you.

Cannabis Corner with Katie Keller

Cannabis Corner with Katie Keller

Ah, cannabis. A plant federally recognized as a schedule 1 drug while being legalized for recreational use in 12 states, with a total of 33 states legalizing it for medicinal use. And yet somehow there is still so much debate about whether it’s good or bad for you. I will preface this article and any of the like by stating that I am not a doctor. I can only speak to my own experience with weed and through the organizations I have been apart of to advocate for the plant. But I have an insider look from grow house, to distribution, to consumption and effects. So consider this a cannabis safe space. Want to ask about rigs for concentrates? I’m your girl. Want to know how to dose your mom or dad who are in pain but don’t want to get stoned – I can give you some insight there too. Want to just chat with someone about how much better food tastes when you’re high – reach out! 

Whether or not you have burning questions about weed – I will check in here regularly to give you up to date information about the laws surrounding the plant as they continue to grow and change. I will also speak to my own personal experiences, for better or worse, so you can safely and responsibly enjoy cannabis if you are legally allowed to do so in your state, and assuming you are also of age.

President Trashdick?

President Trashdick?

(AUTHOR/EDITOR’S NOTE: The views in this piece are mine and mine alone. My political opinions, though I believe them to be right and true and the only pure form of light in this insane political climate, do not reflect The Fancy Boys Club or the other writers for the site.

UPDATE: This piece was written on Thursday to be released today. Earlier this morning, Joe Walsh announced on ABC that he would officially be running for President.)

You have to believe me, I wanted to start out nice.

When I decided to help this site come to life, I was envisioning a friendly place with happy discussion and writers passionate about their topics. I expected my own little Garden of Eden, a place where I could go when I was seeking emotional solace.

I’m currently a few hundred words into an essay about how much I loved the ending to Quentin Tarantino’s new film. All of my inner peace changed when I woke up Thursday morning to a Mediaite article saying Joe Walsh was planning a presidential run. And, just like that, my inner peace evaporated. Because Joe Walsh is a trashdick. He HAS a trashdick. 

And it’s important to me that you know that.

Why We Are Fancy Boys

There really isn’t a specific time when you say it’s time to go, except when that time gets thrown at you. This entire website exists because of July 22nd. I remember that I was writing a piece about getting older and enjoying the idea of spending nights at home watching Netflix with my wife more than I was enjoying going out. The piece never got completed, but this website was born because of it. Continue reading “Why We Are Fancy Boys”
