Stuff for comedian Geoff Brousseau

I am travelling with the lovely Ed Galvez and hopefully the lovely Tracy Tuffs (message him and tell him you want to see him). We’re road tripping up there for the week and after some unfortunate fall outs will be at Chop Suey doing Laffhole on Wednesday and Laughs Comedy Club in Kirkland on Thursday to record my CD! Oh and now I have more news a very talented guy is going to be recording the show for a dvd as well..how cool is that? Then to wrap up the week on Sunday I’ll be headlining Room 38 in Issaquah which is one of my favorite gigs in the world. I was originally scheduled to do Jazzbones in Tacoma but that fell through.

I’m so excited to see everyone and to hang out, I haven’t had a chance to see anyone in over a year. I’ve had a crazy crazy year and I can’t wait to tell everyone about it.

Send me an email or call me or whatever and let me know when we can hang out and if you’re coming to a show and I’ll see what I can do about tickets. This is going to be a blast bring a liver hopefully one without too much mileage and a thirst for adventure (huh?) and please come out and see a show or just hang out cause I’d love to see you!

Why has this taken so long?

Hey guys a good friend and a really good dude who I’ve known for years and years is battling cancer and if you have a chance please go over to his page and volunteer to help him out..if you can’t do that just let him know you’re thinking about him. He’s got a big battle and could use all the fans he can get.

Go here douchbags..and chicks

Uncomfortably close hugs,

It’s nice that I have some. I’ve been going up and doing comedy more often doing shows at The Punk House with Ed Galvez and doing different shows around town. I have signed a contract to put out an album with New Wave Media which is a company owned by Barry Katz. I’ll be trying to book three nights to pull this off in the next few months…hopefully by summers end I’ll have the album produced.

I’m looking for title ideas…

Here is what I have so far

Geoff Brousseau one man’s journey in overcoming Down Syndrome
One night with Geoff Brousseau minus future child support
and lastly “I TALK TOO LOUD” ok well that’s what I have so far.

I’m also going to be performing in the Bridgetown comedy festival this year on April 23rd I’m on the show with Kyle Kinane who is hilarious. I’m really looking forward to it…I’m only going to be able to be there one night because I have my daughter that weekend…I might come a day earlier but it depends on how much flights are.

I realized after an audition recently for a hosting gig on Spike that I’m at a weird weight. Not fat enough and not thin enough so either I have to gain 50 pounds or lose 50 pounds…I like seeing my dick so I’m going the former. I’ve said this a million times..so feel free to mock me. I’m not talking about it anymore, I’ll either do it or I won’t. This Sunday I’m shooting a video with Fahim Anwar that I hope will be mucho hilarious. I have written about 10 minutes of new stuff that I’m starting to stretch a little it’s a long way from being where it needs to be but it will be for the album.

Hugs.

Well I’m currently working very hard at my job….and that is leaving not very time for anything else then sleep. I have been forgetting that I came down here to to do comedy sometimes and get caught up just living and wanting to just sit and relax.

I haven’t been doing much so here is what I have planned. I’m going to be working out at the UCB on my improv chops. I have a show at the end of the month and in the meantime I’ll be going up as much as I can. I wish I had a good story to tell you…but I have been as boring as I’ve ever been. I haven’t peed a hotel room bed or done anything of note in a long time.

I am working on some sketches for a friend’s project. It looks like I’m going to do a short film with Fahim Anwar a very funny talented dude from Seattle who’s really doing big things down here which is exciting to see. Especially since we all thought he was going to do big things and it’s good that we were right for once. For anyone who hasn’t been to Los Angeles before it’s pretty amazing to do comedy down here. On Wednesday I went to the Improv to see some friends Geoff Lott, Brian Moote, Rory Scoval, Andy Peters among others and at the Improv were Craig Robinson, Dane Cook, Daniel Tosh, Nick Swardson, and a host of other big comics. It’s humbling and fascinating to see….because all their success is possible to anyone with talent to match their drive. I have to push and burn the candle at both ends for awhile or I’m just going to continue being the dude saying “wow look who I saw” forever and that doesn’t interest me in the least.

I watched the Oscars last night..it was sort of interesting and I’m still fat so there’s the news I have right now. I’ll start writing again…I just haven’t had much to say. Oh and I’ll post some video of some stuff that I did as soon as I get over the fact that I have very large breasts that cast a shadow in them.

A lot has been happening in my life some good some bad. I’ve had problems in my relationship, money, ex, eviction. It’s been a rough month the hardest since I moved down here. This has been coupled with good things happening comedy and work wise. I just received an offer for a new job so that my impending job end is taken care of and thus my family. I feel much better about my relationship which I won’t go into but suffice it say that that’s been the main stress for me personally although money is always a problem. I also received an initial proposition to do some paid comedy and writing which I’m happy about as well. I think it could be amazing we’ll see if there is carry through. Nothing is done or real until the contract is signed. I’ve been working out..I haven’t seen any kind of results yet but I just started. I’m also starting the paleo diet this week…well today to be exact and that is basically a diet consisting of nothing you couldn’t eat before the advent of farming. So meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, no dairy, no added salt, no sugar, no starches. It’s basically atkins with fruit and no dairy. I’m excited about it once I’m on this the weight is going to fall off me if my previous experience has told me anything. I REALLY need this right now, I feel like shit about how I look right now and would really like to take a picture that doesn’t embarrass me. I am really trying to be positive about the future and I have all the confidence that I’m going to take care of the things in my life I need to take care of and successfully. I really don’t have the overbearing “I suck” mentality that I had in Seattle. I needed to come down here and see that I’m capable of achieving all the things I want to. I think this will be done with my family and not single, but there are no guarantees. I certainly hope they are, it doesn’t feel like it would mean as much if they weren’t part of my life like they are now.

I am doing everything I can to stay positive right now, I have the mental maturity of an 8 year old so it makes my relationships difficult at best. I’m going up pretty regularly right now, but I feel the itch to step up again and start playing some larger venues and clubs. It’s not an easy path down here at all, it takes the kind of sticktoitiveness I’ve never had to muster before in my life. LA hasn’t made things easier either, the other day I had a reuben..it was great..it was also 20 bucks for a fucking reuben. We got half a sandwich soup, a reuben, and a small mac and cheese for 52 bucks..what the fuck. I love a reuben more then just about anything in the world…and they shouldn’t cost more then 8 bucks ever…not on the moon at the only deli on the moon should a reuben cost 20 bucks. Everything down here is stupidly expensive except for booze and smokes for some reason they are priced reasonably I guess to counter act the constant stress about paying for everything else.

I’ll post more as think of things……

I can’t go into specifics but some cool stuff has happened this week. It looks like some of my jokes that I sold should be completed soon and I’ll find out when I get to see them done nationally in addition to getting paid..hopefully enough to get out of debt. I have been hired as a writer and performer for an upcoming project that I can’t talk about….but I’m crossing my fingers it becomes reality and becomes as cool as it could be. I sign contracts soon but it’s all dependent on stuff that’s out of my control so I’m just chilling and creating content in the meantime. Finally I have an interview coming up hopefully I can move on from what I’m doing now and work with a little bit more…uh..less crazy?

I am working on three new jokes that I’ll be doing in the next couple of weeks, one is about the fact that my kids are too attractive to ever produce interesting art so I’ve stopped trying inspire them or to even feign interest. Secondly I’m trying to re-write my ipod joke (everyone should have one until 6 months from now when they stop making them) about what an ipod says about people. Mine currently says “why did you download german pop music?”. Thirdly about working in the porn business sounds like a fantasy until you do and realize that yes there are a lot of naked women walking around you, but you still have to help a guy with an affliction shirt and a neck tattoo “create his art”.
