Greg Behrendt - News

DVD OUT TODAY AND ON ITUNES!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Hey Punx and Kittens!
Can you hardly believe it? Four years after the release of UNCOOL comes That Guy From That Thing! And although it will run until the end of time as a special in Comedy Central it is a much better experience in it's unedited full blown glory! On the DVD and the iTunes audio version there are bits not on the Comedy Central version and on the DVD there are deleted scenes and some Ask Greg's. I'm am as proud of this as I can be and hope you will dig it!

Never Not Funny!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

This is my one of the funniest times I've had! The Never Not Funny Podcast is awesome please check it out and then Keep listening cause Jimmy Pardo is the greatest!

WTF

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Marc Maron is a great comedian and a really cool guy! But on top of that he is the host of an incredibly listenable, smart, funny, sometimes political but comedy intensive podcast called WTF. I had the pleasure off appearing on a live taping the other night at the UCB theatre in LA it was great. The description on the show's website say is: "Comedian Marc Maron is tackling the most complex philosophical question of our day - WTF?" But it's more than that. If you are a comedian or fan of comedians his interviews are required listening. I don't know if I've heard interviews with comis that get this deep into the form. It's like a comedy version Elivis Costelllo's Spectacle. His guests include Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Jim Gaffigan. among others. Maron's not just a comedian he is obviously a fan but his insights as a comic make the interviews unique. You will learn so much! Priceless stuff!!! In summation. A lot comedy podcasts suck but this one should be syndicated and broadcast nationally it's that good.

Tempe Improv Completed!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

I don't know why. Maybe because they headlined me before I was mistaken for Ty Pennington but the Tempe Improv has always been like a home club to me. The crowds are awesome, savvy and hot! In the pix on this page I'm having one of the best sets I've had. The set list included Flipside Crackers, Shamul, Randy From the Gap (NEW) Crybaby Spiderman, and new reworking of Ripped Like Jesus called No Back Fat For Jesus. If I look happy it's because I am. I'm doing comedy again. Or at least my version of it:)

Thanks Phil Provencio for your funny set and pix!

Tempe Improv Tonight 10/2-10/4

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

This is the greatest club. One of my all time favorites and I'm working with a spectacular guy named Moshe Kasher that you do not want to miss. Unless you like missing the future then go ahead and stay home and listen to Paulie Shore live on cassette! Look forward to seeing you. TICKETS!

The Genius of Thom Browne and His Tie

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Thom Browne is a menswear designer. He is the ONLY menswear designer right now and the only bright spark in this years wholly uninspiring SP10 fashion week. The reason I like this guy so much is not only does he have an inspiration (Late 50's and Early 60's Brooks Brothers) but then he does his own freaky thing with it. Yes some of it is completely bizarre unwearable by most men but it is art form as well, and it's influences his have been felt everywhere from the Gap to Mad Men. His suits are too expensive for this guy but I bought and wore a tie of his in my special (GREG BEHRENDT IS THAT GUY FROM THAT THING) and Jennifer Aniston also wore the same one on the cover of GQ! Malcom Mclearen said "It's better to be a grand failure than a benign success." Thom Browne obviously believes that and I find that inspiring!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Wow, what a month! 26 shows, not including extra late night sets and press appearances, but overall it was a total blast. Did I take the festival by storm? By nooo means. Were all the shows good? Not even. Who's fault was that? Mine. Did you get good reviews? Some great ones, but I also got some bad ones. (I don't read them but my pals do) Did you see some good shows? Yes indeed! Jamie Kilstein, Jimmy McGhee, Des Bishop, Alun Cochran, and Dan Antopolski were among the highlights. Google them all, you won't be sorry. They were all a far cry better than I was at the beginning of the fest that's for sure.

Then why did you have such a good time? Because it was like I had to start standup all over again. No one in the UK gives a shit about me or what I've done really. There was no room to coast and I had to really dig deep to get them to A) Like me or at least understand me and B) laugh at and with me. It really made me realize how lazy I've been about my standup and how much better I could be. It was an ass kicking 'cause at the beginning I played to stoney silence and indifference but the last week of shows were, on a personal level, better than any shows I've ever done.

So why post a picture of your poster with your nice reviews? Because if you look closely at the pic someone scratched out the H,R,E, and D out of BEHRENDT leaving BENT which is UK slang for queer! So I like the juxtaposition of the Sunday Times and Time Out giving me props, which is nothing to complain about, and then some "punter" giving his two cents. It about sums up my experience. But it has soooo revitalized my desire to be better at my craft that I believe i've taken for granted or just didn't realize needed work. Hope you will come see me. New dates added soon! Much Love!

Justine Ungaro Photo Shoot!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

The Monarchs had and amazing photo shoot with the super talented Justine Ungaro at the haunted Vogue Theatre in Hollywood. There were a few setups here's one using a couch my wife Amiira and friend Elizabelle found on a street corner. It only smelled a little like pee! More pics to come.

The Monarchs Tear Up Taix!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

In what can only be described as one of the best nights of my life the Reigning Monarchs, resplendent in Lagerfeld inspired ties and armbands, rocked through 8 skanky surf noir gems with only a handful of glaring mistakes by yours truly. The old timey ski lodge feel of the Taix Lounge and the crowd of east Los Angeles hipsters, our friends, family and one super meth'd out chick made the night a roaring success that reminded me of my early days as a comic coming up in the alternative comedy scene. The Tulsa Skull Swingers, who headlined the show, are not to be missed. Fronted by a 6'7' skeleton they are the Cramps meets burlesque meets something totally original with no reference point. I hope you will come see us and them when we play there next .It was so fucking awesome. And to those of you that came I am, as always, touched in my happy places!

Worthy Cause!

My Interview with Olivia Wilder!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

She's Just Not That Into Me!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Why I know what I know. There is this great story telling show in New York called the Moth. If you are ever there you should check it out. A few years ago they asked me to perform at their show in Aspen Col for the HBO Comedy Arts Festival. I decided to get really honest and explain in full detail why I know what I know about relationships and how dating a foxy well know comic and actress can break your heart and change your life forever. I remember feeling kinda weird about doing it cause it was 100% honest Most of what i do is only 89.7% honest. It was pretty exhilarating and while most people laughed a few actually cried, and that experience alone is why I will take performing live any day over books and TV. It's just my favorite way to relate what I have to offer. Thanx to Moth for posting this! In fact I'd forgotten that I'd done it but I'm glad it resurfaced. This should explain everything!

The New Sheridans! BLAINE (1994)

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

The New Sheridans from Greg Behrendt on Vimeo.

In 1993 I came to LA with a band called The New Sheridans. We were a new wavey pop combo with big dreams, satin jackets and a really cute singer. We recorded a now hard to find pink 7 inch for Hell Yeah Records! The tracks Blaine B/W New Wave Princess and Action Figure Friday were produced by Steve MacDonald of Redd Kross. We played around Hollywood for a couple of years but it was at the height of grunge and people were more interested in Skin Yard,Tad, Coffee, and herion, I guess. The band is Laura Milligan: Vocals, Mike King: Guitar, Barry Johnson: Bass, Kurt Anderson: Drums, and Greg Behrendt Guitar and awkward dancing. Enjoy!

The Plan and The National Domestic Violence Hotline.

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Seriously thanks for stopping by. With all the Facebooking and Twittering going I'm not sure how many folks still swing by the old site but I'm going long form today to catch you all up with what's happening with me.
I'm wrapping the Totally Into You Tour with four kick ass weekends, Addison Texas, Raleigh, North Carolina, Irvine, California, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Something you may not know about coming to see me, besides being knock your d*#k in the dirt funny:) I give a portion of the proceeds from every show to The National Domestic Violence Hotline. Last year alone we were able to raise around 25K! So seeing me helps make a difference for someone other than me and you. In these uncertain times this is more important now than ever. I made this choice two years ago when I began to get more and more e-mails from women in abusive relationships. Because I am a comedian I am not equipped to deal with such problems and so I googled Domestic Violence and this number came up.

National Domestic Violence Hotline
1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
1-800-787-3224 (TDD)

These are great folks and they can get you help no matter where you are 24/7. So lets spread the love and have a laugh.

Other News!

In the interim we are going to release the Reigning Monarchs debut album followed by a brief California tour. I also will be performing continually here in LA at Largo, Comedy Death Ray, the coolest show in town, and at the Hollywood Improv so FOLLOW me here, there, and everywhere.

My DVD Greg Behrendt Is That Guy From That Thing will be released at the same time it airs on Comedy Central in August.

Plus some big announcements to come!

It's gonna be a great year!

Note To Self: Dress Better!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

In this time of tighter wallets and new Presidents I'm sharing with you how we both will dress better for less while not sacrificing our quality masculinity. There are great mostly inexpensive clothes sold here in America and, when accessorized with odds and sods found at punx rox shopz, look as good as those made and sold across the pond. Look right now everyone wants to look like a Jack Kennedy American skanking with a chain wallet and who better to do it than you and me bro. Chain up!

Do you have new material? I saw you like a year and a half ago in LA then saw you sometime this year in Irvine. You had a lot of the same material. I would love to come see you in Nov in Irvine or Brea. Will you have a new set?

-Julie =)

Hey Julie
I'm not sure what you saw. I'll tell you this I've spent the last year and a half writing the new hour that I just taped for a DVD/Comedy Central special. I am always moving new peices in and other material out so I can't promise that it will all be new to you. But because Brea is my last date for the year I'm probably gonna do a greatest hits pckage with some old stuff like RIPPED LIKE JESUS, and CRYBABY SPIDERMAN and newer stuff Like CRACKER SAVVY, and CHRIS ANGEL/ I MADE A BIRD! and stuff no one has really heard much like FREEDOM ANTS. I'll also be doing a Q and A at the Thursday and Sunday shows. Hope you'll come either way but if not thank you for being so supportive Julie!

One Week From Tonight!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

I'm in Houston at the Improv tonight finalizing the set that I will tape next Saturday at the San Jose Improv. I hope to see you there.

I want to take a quick moment here to thank everyone who has come out to see me over the past two years. I want you to know you have fortified my confidence and given me the permission to be the ass kicking standup comic I have always dreamt of being. I have to admit to being a little shaken after the cancellation of my talk show. As much as I love folks and love helping them I really identify myself as a comedian, but wasn't sure I'd be able to do it again. It's a funny thing standup, you step off for too long it's hard to get back on Especially when people now perceive you as some sort of self help guy or relationship guru (the press's word not mine). But to be fair I have always tried to carry a message of hope and love in all of my work from Mantastic to HJNTIY. Because I truly believe your life is an awesome gift and that the only one that can fuck it up is you based on the decisions you make, from how you identify yourself as a man or woman to the kinds of people you allow yourself to have relationships with. I also have strong beliefs about chocolate eggs, toasters and chain wallets. And because themes have always been evident in my work it has taken me to a variety of places from Sex And The City to The Greg Behrendt Show from Standup to Instrumental Surf and Ska. I know my career may sometimes be confusing from the outside but the message at the center of it all has always been the same: I LOVE YOU! YOU HAVE ONE LIFE DON"T F#$K IT UP! Thank you for your support and here's to more of you and me kicking ass.

Your Fan

Return to Tempe, Mitch Hedberg, A Great Story

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

16 or so years ago I headlined University Of San Francisco and young Mitch Hedberg open the show for me. He went down in flames. Really, the kids just stared at him. Now to be fair I only did marginally better by comparison but the fact is no one should have been paying either of us cash money. But the one thing I remember so clearly was that Mitch had his voice! By that I mean he had a full blown persona with the jokes to back it up and it was only a matter of time before the world would catch up. I was a screaming cursing lunatic with short pants and few actual jokes but Mitch was ...Mitch and I was pretty jealous. Not just because he was funny but he appeared to love what he was doing even when people didn't. That's not easy to do. Mitch loved stand up!

Cut to five years later. I'm opening for Mitch for 4 nights at the Tempe Improv. The shows are all sold out and Mitch is crushing it! People actually have to go outside to catch their breath during his show they were laughing so hard. So on Friday I fly back to Los Angeles to make my first appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I rock it (I gotta say) and fly back to Tempe. I was feeling great but still it's weird to go from the Tonight Show back to opening for someone. The first show that Friday goes great, the second show even better ,then right in the middle of Mitch's set during the second show he stops the show and says."The Tonight Show is a right of passage for any comic. Everyone who gets into comedy wants to be on The Tonight Show. Well today Greg was on it and I think we should watch it." Then they pulled down the big screen and showed my set. It fucking blew my mind. Mitch Hedberg liked standup so much he stopped his show to watch my TV appearance and share it with others. Mitch as you know passed away a couple of years ago and despite all you may or may not have heard about him he was a delight and not just a comedian but a champion of comedians and The Tempe Improv (One of the best clubs in the country) will always remind me of that.
I will be in Tempe for the next four days!

Seriously I want to meet the guy who thought this up pin a medal on his salty chest and then kill him because his flavor instincts will lead to my untimely death by salt, and because the are the best cracker since Chicken In A Biscuit! They seriously fuck your mouth with flavor. I have sweaty fever dreams about them. So pick up a box and start your new life. "But Greg I'm not a cracker person." Well crawl out from under that rock kiddo and get on the FLIPSIDE of that!

New Tattoo + Bob Saget = Great Weekend!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Hey Punks and Kittens!
I got a new tattoo this weekend and it made its public debut at the Bob Saget Roast on Sunday in Los Angeles. I was showing it to my friend Wendy and suddenly everyone started taking pictures of it and asking it questions! It was wild! Suddenly my tattoo was approached by a dozen or so TV and Film execs and put into development for a number of very exciting projects. Then my tattoo went home with John Stamos. I did not. Just goes to show what can happen when you dress better!

P.S. The Roast (where I was just a guest not a roaster) was great! Highlights include Greg Giraldo, Brian Posehn, Jeff Ross and Cloris Leachman!

About My Standup! W/Pix

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

I get this question a lot so I thought I'd post about it here.
Hey Greg...

1. I have been telling my girlfriend how great your stand up is. (Its funny how with the book and the show people think you are just another dr phil... Obviously, they dont pay much attention). I want to make sure that you are actually doing your act and that its not just a book tour.

THIS IS A TOUR OF STAND UP! NOT A LECTURE, NOT A SEMINAR, AND NOT A MAN BASHING PARTY. AND WHILE THERE IS A CHUNK DEDICATED TO SEX AND THE AWKWARDNESS OF GETTING INTO RELATIONSHIPS I ALSO COVER BATMAN, SNACK CRACKERS, FEET AND ELEPHANTS (YEAH THOSE F#*KERS FINALLY GET THEIR COMEUPPANCE!) THIS IS ALSO STANDUP SHOW THAT INCLUDES AT LEAST 50 MINUETS OF NEW MATERIAL AS WELL AS CLASSICS FROM HOUSES OF THE HOLY.

2. Have you added much new material in the act? I will be there regardless.

SEE ABOVE.

Greg

50 MINUETS OF ALL NEW MATERIAL...

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

...and a precentage of all monies earned given to National Domestic Violence Hotline. That's my gaurentee to you if you come to see me do stand up this or any weekend. THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COME THE MORE MONEY FOR NDVH! So come on out and make a difference have a laugh and be a good American. spark plug!

Ask Greg Coming To An End!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Sadly Punks and Kittens all great things must come to an end and also things like Ask Greg. While it has been a total blast I feel the time has come to concentrate on my stand up career. I have really enjoyed and been touched by your questions. Since the demise of the talk show I felt the need to address the many emails that have been sent my way but alas I feel that I have said all there is I have to say. I am putting my career as a fauxish relationship expert to rest and returning to my career in comedy already in progress. I just returned from the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal where it became evident (read review ) to me after 9 shows in 4 days that this is what I love doing the most and really what I'm best at right now. This doesn't mean that there won't be more books it just means I'd prefer to put it into print or in joke form rather than answer questions directly. There will still be two more weeks of Ask Greg and in a couple of days I will tell you about some other great content coming to GregBehrendt.com.
I love you all.
G
P.S. IT'S YOU THAT HAS THE ANSWERS TO YOUR PROBLEMS.

Behind The Scenes Of Ask Greg!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Here are some snaps of the behind the scenes madness that is Ask Greg. I thought I'd show these to you because it's Tuesday and your curiosity must be peaked at this point why wouldn't it be. So many questions must be swirling around in your beautiful pointed head. Does he really shoot in the garage or on a huge Hollywood sound stage? What's the sign made of? Is it shot by people or replicants with iPhones? Why does Greg do this again? Great questions, all answered here by the photo journalism of Kristen Behrendt.

My Sister Wants To Take Your Picture!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

My sole sibling is going from amateur to pro in the world of Rock/Standup/ and portrait photography and I'm told she works on the cheap. So If your family or band needs to be shot (read: have their pictures taken not have them executed) visit her myspace page and tell her I sent you. Then she will say, "Really 'cause I hate that four eyed poseur." Sure it will be awkward for you but your pictures will come out great! And your career will soar. Look at what it did fo' Brian Setzer.

Dave Anthony. Things that are GREAT!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Remember when I had that talking show in the daytime? Well one of the writers on that show was a freak named Dave Anthony, you may remember him as the waffle guy, and if you do then you need to join a gym, or get a job or just GO OUTSIDE because your life is swiftly passing before your eyes. I jest of course! Well aside from occasionally coming on tour with me and being one of my closest friends Dave writes a blog and posts really f#&king funny videos like this on the YouTube. Oh, and here is his myspace page that has disturbing pictures of him like the one above. It's not his fault, he's just that beautiful. Go get involved in Dave Anthony you will feel better about your own life. I'm going outside now.

Really! Joyless Purple Afro 'N Ball Hammock With Pink Tank Plus Sandals?

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Last week top designers debuted their 09 spring lines on the runways of Paris and Milan. Once again most of what was shown has nothing to do with any man that I actually know but then again I don't know any eunuch clowns. Don't get me wrong I love the artistic value of fashion and the necessity of creating and re-imagining the modern silhouette. I worship innovative Brooks Brothers revivalist Thom Browne and the Gucci Bond Porn of Tom Ford. Hell I think what John Galliano has done at Christian Dior, while sometimes difficult, is mostly rocktacular, but who the fuck sends a model down the runway like this thinking it has anything to do with anything even slightly relatable to men? But fuck all that! What about the model? Doesn't this guy have parents and or friends? Even a boy or girlfriend? How does he look them in the eye after the spectacle of the joyless purple afro 'n ball hammock with pink tank plus GLADIATOR SANDALS debacle?! "Oh wait do you have a FLOWER FOR MY SHOULDER!? I might get cold out there...oh thanks. Here hold my penis. I won't be needing it after this because no one will ever fuck me again."

See for yourself. There is some cool stuff in the Victor and Rolf collection as well as the Wantanabe.

Monarchs on the Radio!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Local Los Angeles radio station Indie 103.1 is playing the Reigning Monarchs SHORT PANTS FOR FATTY as the music bed for their surf report. The host of their morning their morning show the most excellent punk rock legend and super lawyer Joe Escalante called the Monarchs the "Best celebrity band of all time." We are flattered Joe! Now if I was only a celebrity. But let me return the compliment. Joe's show The Last Of The International Morning Shows is by far the coolest and most genuinely entertaining morning shows on radio. No shouting, no pranks just good interviews great music and a host who's own life experiences are interesting enough that he doesn't have to get an intern to eat 300 hot dogs in the nude while living in a jelly filed VW bug for a month with a tranny stripper named Crystal Beth just to get listeners to pick up a bumper sticker. Thank you Joe! New Monarchs Track! COWBOY SHIRT

P.S. For those of you that don't know Joe is the Bassist for punk rock superstars The Vandals

RINGTONES ARE COMING!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Listen I know if you own a copy of "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken" that there are ringtones that accompany the book and you want them. I get it! We had them and then my deal with Warner Brothers ended and they took them down. They were, by the way, shitty and you had to pay for them! I promise you that by mid July they will be available FOR FREE! Ok? Cool. I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I know you are going through a shitty breakup and you need my sturdy voice telling you not to take that call and to just hang in there kiddo. In the mean time enjoy the free ASK GREG RING TONE by punk rock mom Kay Hanley.

Looking For A BADASS Drummer!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

If you drum and you are a BADASS (all caps) and you live in the Dayton Ohio area then you are in f@#king luck. Here's what you have to do "sticks," you must immediately call the number pictured here. DO NOT WAIT! Remember you must be BADASS. If you are excellent but can not make with the BADASSERY needed, then you can go f@#k yourself with a spoon. But if you are a stone washed actual BADASS I wish you great luck. Hit me up on Myspace when you get the gig and then continually send my flyers about your shows and eventually I'll block you because I'm not a BADASS.

Love and some 45's!

Tim Russert

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

I only just became a real political junkie this past year, so I was unexpectedly saddened today to hear about the passing of Tim Russert. I say unexpectedly because I hadn't really given much thought to how much I I liked him. Oddly I had just arrived at KPCC the NPR station in Pasadena to appear on Pat Morrisons' political talk show Comedy Congress with Marc Maron (who I also like) and the Producer said we were going to start a little late because Tim Russert had just had a heat attack and died. And it really hit me harder than I expected to. You know there are those people you watch everyday on the news and you begin to build a relationship with them weather you want to or not. I guess i had built one of those with Tim as I obsessively watched MSNBC waiting for what incredible thing would happen in what has to be the best primary race of all time.

I really loved watching the guy. His enthusiasm for politics was inspiring but it was his enthusiasm for his job I liked even more. It's the way I feel about stand up right now. He seemed glad to be sharing the gift of his insight and I'm bummed I will not get to see more of him.

Because of you all I/we have raised close to $10,000 dollars for local charities this year. It may not sound like much but it's only May.

Remember the more people that come the MORE MONEY we make for this very worthy cause that affects the very young so BRING SOME FRIENDS TO SEE GREG! You will not be disappointed.

Punx and Kittens!

Can you hardly believe it? It's Tuesday and as you have now become accustomed the new Ask Greg is up and it's a fiery one. Starting next week I'm going to start e mailing you less as I fear I may become annoying but like a boyfriend who's been flakey in the past I'm just trying to show you how consistent I've become in an effort to win your heart. Plus the Ask Greg's are really good

That said, the one of the reasons for the Ask Greg's and the e mails is to keep you intrigued and connected until I come to your town at which time you will need to come see me do standup, meet me, get a book signed, ask me a question, bring a friend and just generally have the best evening of your life while we raise MONEY for a good cause. Sincerely I can't really guaranty it will be the best evening of your life but it'll be in your top 5 for 08. The point is I'm trying to turn my standup tour into not just another guy doing standup but a comedy love and money making machine fueled by you ( The Uncool Army) and driven by me (The Uncool) to raise money for those who desperately need it! So far we've been selling tix like mad and selling out shows and giving money to great causes like H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa last weekend. See below for dates for your town. Get on the mailing list if you haven't yet.

And to those of you who have supported me from whenever you got on the Uncool Bus a humble 'Thank you' from the bottom of my heart. If I was there I'd buy you a steak. Unless you are a vegetarian, then you would say "I don't eat meat." and I'd say "I'm so sorry do you want to go somewhere else?" and then you'd say no "I'll just get a salad." and I'd say "I feel bad." and then you'd say if you felt bad you would have asked before you made reservations and Dave's All Meat Rumpus Room home of the Meat salad." I then I would just stare at my feet.

Like I f@#ked a swan!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Here are some images from my spectacular trip to Tampa Fla. Not pictured are the awesome crowds and the great staff that populated the Improv in my two night stand there. A hightlight was Charley's steakhouse. Holy sh#t! I had a New York strip that was so good it was almost pornographic. It was so good I felt like I'd done something wrong the next morning. Like f@#ked a swan. Or shived a drifer clown. Guilty is what I'm getting at. I highly recommend Charleys the next time you find yourself in Tampa. It's a trip back in time before meat was evil and salads were made of only lettuce.

In Tampa this weekend!

The Last Largo Show Monday the 5th

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

On Monday the 5th I will be performing my last set of stand up at the old largo at 432 N Fairfax Ave in Hollywood. The club will be moving to the Cornet theatre on La Cieniga in June and while I'm sure the move is the right thing for the club I can not tell you how important this particular room has been to me and the many others that have not just performed there but actually "become" who they are there. People like Sara Silverman, Paul F Thompkins, Tenacious D, Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifinakis to name a handful not to mention the hundreds of musicians including Jon Brion and The Reigning Monarchs who probably wouldn't have ever happend were it not for the club. I have never played in a room where there was so much love and respect for the artists at work. The man responsible for Largo is Mark 'Flanny' Flanagan who's love of music and comedy is so pure one gets the feeling that he is living his dream and I for one and eternally grateful that he has let me be a part of it. I love you Flanny! And lastly the people who frequent Largo. Club has it's own fans that have not only kept it alive but kept the people who perform there on their toes. Thank all of you who have supported me/us there. I look forward to seeing you at the new club. Here's to the future!

Cupcacon!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

There is a God! I thought I made him up.There is a God

Patton Oswalt is Great!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

I have been a standup for 19 years. I love what I do and I wouldn't change it. Well no that's not true I wouldn't change most of it. But last night I performed at Largo in LA with Patton Oswalt who I've known for about 17 years and while I have always been a fan last night he became a hero. I can't really put a finger on why other than he's just really really good at what he does. He really cares about the craft of stand up. He turns his material over regularly and he gets better. he doesn't need to get better but he does. And the thing that struck me last night is how much he seems to be doing it for the love of it. I'm not saying Patton is not ambitious you better be if you are going to have a career in show business but his stand up comes from a pure place. A purely funny place. I get asked a lot who my stand up influences are and I really don't have an answer because I was only a moderate comedy fan growing up. My friends and family were all really funny but we were all into music. So when I answer that question I can really only mention my peers. But Patton is not a peer he's fuckin Led Zepplin and I am Johnny Hates Jazz HA HA!. Today Patton Oswalt is my Hero! Who is yours?

In typical Largo style there were surprises lat night including Flight of the Conchords and Janeanne Garofalo. What a fucking night. Wish you had been there,

I'll am officially on vacation for the next two weeks but when I return there will be all new and vastly improved ASK GREGS, new tour dates, Reigning Monarchs shows,and a couple of great announcements. See Ya SOON!

Monarchs At Work

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Today Mike Eisenstein and I started laying down guitar tracks for five new Monarchs Jams that will be posted here hopefully sometime in early April. I’m sure this is one of those posts that is more interesting for me to write than it is for you to read because only I have heard the music but HOLY SHIT IS IT AWESOME! Or at least let me put it this way, this is the kind of music I hoped I’d someday make if I ever in fact made music. No Doubt, John Berry, The Clash, Thom Browne, The Atlantics, Hugo Montenrgro, The Green Hornet, Dick Dale, Ennio Morricone, Chris Isaak, The Stray Cats, Desmond Dekker The Specials, Ralph Lauren, have all had a hand in helping inform what comes next, our moment is upon us...Let The Monarchs Reign!!

Super Update!

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

So much happening that we want to bring you up to date with. Greg is going into the studio this week with the Monarchs to continue work on full album of Hugo Montenegro meets the Clash style instrumental jams and then it's off Kirkland Washington for two nights of stand up. Following that gig Greg will be on a much needed vacation inside a Cadburry Creme Egg and during that time there will be no Ask Greg's as the this website will be under going major construction. Ask Greg WILL RETURN THE WEEK OF APRIL 6th with a whole new look. They will also be posted on youtube and possibly myspace but you can only ask questions here at Gregbehrendt.com Please continue to submit your questions.

Greg is also continuing to support local charities and this weekends gig in Kirkland supports the Boy's and Girls club so if you live in the area go have a laugh and support the cause.

There are some very exciting things brewing this year for Greg and we will keep you posted. Thanks not only for your support but also for the money you raise anytime Greg does a gig. You are all ripped like Jesus.

New Ask Greg! And the future of Ask Greg.

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Hey Punx and Kittens. I'm very sorry about the delay in getting the AG up. I'm juggling a lot of stuff right now and It's not as easy as I thought it was going to be. That said I am going to continue, but be patient. I've gotten hundreds of e mails and It takes time to sort through them all. Starting next week I will also be posting on youtube so you can use the forum there to discuss your problems. Remember the questions don't have to be relationship only. The new AG is a little lofi but the prodution value is about to get better. ROCK.

Of the great things i have done this one was the most painful. On Friday I had the the pleasure of being tattooed by the the beautiful and uber talented Hanna Atchison I don't want to reveal the tattoos here so you'll have to watch when it airs. I would say getting tattooed for me is among the great joys in life. I have around 10 not including the Anna Nicole Smith holding a chimp tattoo I took off with a carrot peeler.

ALSO It appears the Ask Greg was a great success so keep your e mails coming and I'll post more answers this Friday,

Hey! You Better Ask Greg!

Hey Money. As you my know stand up serves two purposes, one to get you come and see how hilarious I am and enjoy stories about Love Sex Pudding etc. and two is to raise money and awareness of local charities. Well in Denver we succeeded to the tune of 5 sold out shows at the Comedy Works and we raised a couple grand for Safe House Denver. So I humbly thank you. Safe House Denver

Big Friday With The Reigning Monarchs

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Here are some pics from Big Friday With The Reigning Monarchs, It was a blast! Playing with the band is possibly my favorite thing to do in the whole world. We played all three songs from the Myspace page as well as Steady As She Goes by the Raconteurs, the theme from The Office (America) and a new Original called Cowboy shirt. I wore an argyle sweater and sliver shoes because I'm awesome. Joining the party was surf punk guitarist Laramie Dean, Nick Swardson, B.J. Novak, Karen Killgarif, and a guy I had never seen before named Nick Kroll. Nick apparently was on the Cavemen show which I never saw but man his standup is fantastic. He's one of those guys that makes me think "Why do I bother?" But then I remember "Because I have really good shoes. We are planning to do more of the big Fridays so stay tuned.

Hey Punks and Punkettes,

(Happy Monday Luther King Day to you. Just returned from Ogden Utah where CHRIS FAIRBANKS and I crushed 4 awesome shows before the some of the most generous, enthusiastic, attractive, and comedy savvy crowds it's ever been my pleasure to perform for. If I shoot another special sometime soon, I'd seriously consider doing it in Ogden. Below are some images from my trip taken with the shitty camera in my cell phone.

Hey, one of the things I'm doing while I'm on the road is trying to raise money for local charities in the area that I'm performing in. This past weekend we raised $1000 bucks for The Granger High School Cheerleaders who won a chance to go to the nationals in cheerleading but haven't got the money. If this sounds like something you might feel good about contributing to here is the address below.

A donation of any size can be sent to:
Granger High School

Two Los Angeles Shows this week. I will be old and trying to hard at the UCB theatre in Holloywood Tuesday night 9 PM and my band THE REIGNING MONARCHS will be playing Friday at Largo at 9 PM with Karen Kilgariff a hugely funny comedian who also happens to be the head writer for Ellen, magician and comic freakshow Ron Lynch, Reno 911!'s Nick Swardson and B.J. Novak comedian and Ryan from NBC's The Office.

This is not a Bring The Rock I'm just on the show playing music and telling stories. More about this later...

Where's the genius gone?

postmaster@gregbehrendt.com

Here's what's frustrating for me, Pancake. I have always been a believer that the cream will rise to the top. I never really believed the whole commonly held belief that there are a million great bands/actors/ artists that will go unnoticed because the world either doesn't understand them, they never got a break, or whatever. When something resonates it just resonates and there is no stopping it, like Tyra. Ok maybe not Tyra. But having been on both sides of it (He's Just Not That Into You resonated, The Greg Behrendt Show did not), I always felt my assertion was right, that is until about six months ago at the urging of a friend I bought Let Go by Nada Surf. If you don't know them or think you know the name they had a song called POPULAR that MTV played a lot around the same time Weezer's Sweater song was en vogue. It was sort of a novelty song and so I never investigated beyond that point...my mistake and perhaps everyone else's.

Holy shit !

I can't even find the words to describe them correctly. I always find the more I am rocked by something emotionally the harder it is for me to put into words but if you like the kind of romantically charged indie fare they like to use on Grey's Anatomy or 6 Feet Under or if you possess a human heart then you will wonder as I do why these guys aren't the best band in America. Check out INSIDE OF LOVEfrom Let Go and I think you'll get it. So I guess I'm wrong, sometimes genius goes unnoticed. It's makes me wonder what else is out there that I have missed.

Thoughts?

West Palm Beach Florida!

Hey Punks and Kittens!

Happy New Year!! It's already Jan 8th and I'm back on the road. On Jan 10th I'll be in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Improv. My life is pretty sweet. There are some exciting things brewing in my world that I will be announcing here at GregBehrendt.com as well as on my Myspace page. If you have visited either site and felt like no one is home I apologize but that will change on 08. In Feb there will be an all new Gregbehrendt.com and it will be much more interactive and I will be talking questions both relationship and otherwise (Like who's more ripped Obama or Jesus?). In the immediate future I will be blogging and adding video to the site.

Stay tuned for exciting news and ponies the size of hope!

Punks and Kittens,

BRT was by all accounts a total success! Thank all of you that came out and supported not only me, Patton, Sarah and the Reigning Monarchs but also Musicares. That will be my final performance for 07 and I want to thank anyone and everyone who supported me this year.

This has been, in many ways a tough time for me for both personal and professional reasons but to those of you who have stuck by me, I LOVE YOU. Expect great things for yourself in '08 and look for video from BTR the coming days.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!
