Back in March I was invited to audition for Last Comic Standing — Season 8 on NBC. After showcasing for the producers I was selected as one of the “top 100” comedians to perform in the Invitational Round in LA.
Unfortunately, that’s where it ended for me. I did not advance beyond that stage but I had an unbelievable experience. I had fun not only with the process but also hanging out with old friends from the road who I haven’t seen in years. Some of them are still in the running!
NBC recently aired it’s Top 100 jokes of the season so far, and two of my bits made the list — the Tom’s deodorant joke (#81) and the Alzheimer’s joke (#66).
My full set didn’t make the air, but you can watch it here:

Life on the Road
I’ve seen a lot of variations of Alberstadt throughout my career, but this sign outside the comedy club in Calgary is probably the most original.
Come see how they spell it in your city. I’ve got shows coming up in Toledo, Boston, and Nashville (home of the mighty Commodores). View my complete schedule here:
