MARK YOUR KOLLENDER JANUARY 2013
Hi everyone, how’s it going? I know, I know...we haven’t talked in a long time.
What's new?
Wellllll....I’m moving to New York.
I can’t say much about it, but I will say some sucker sold me a VERY famous bridge and, well, it’s not going to run itself.*
(* if you don’t get that you need to hang out with more grandpas. Also, see George C. Parker or William McCloundy.)
Ok, the real reason? One word: Pastrami.
...and I AM GOING TO DO ALL THE COMEDY THERE IS TO DO UNTIL THERE IS NO COMEDY OR I GET A NOSE-BLEED!
But Alex, how will you adjust to “The City That Never Sleeps” when you are from “The City That Sleeps Till Noon And Works From Home?”
Yo...Don't worry about it.
BUT BEFORE I GO:
Bay Area friends and fans take note: I am headlining the San Francisco Punch Line on Monday February 18th. This isn’t a “goodbye” show as much as it is a “Yo...Don’t Worry About It” show (see above). This will however be my last long performance in The Bay for a while so please, please come have a laugh with me. I have two of my favorite locals, Caitlin Gill and David Gborey, on the bill with me so it’s definitely going to be great.

I want to see ALL of you there, so if you call the club and use the code word “PASTRAMI” you can get 2 For 1 tickets!
Truth is, there will be a lot of great opportunities to see me all around the Bay Area this next month or so (see below), but this Punch Line show is mine, all mine. Let's enjoy our precious, precious time together.
Hey Bay Area, let’s stay in touch! I’ll be continuing to pop into your inbox with info on upcoming shows and appearances. 2013 is definitely going to be very full for me. In fact, I’ll be retuning to the West Coast later in the year so you’ll wanna keep up with the latest. But if you are having separation anxiety, remember I am active on Twitter, Facebook and my blog (for the most part). Oh, and you should see my Instagram! Get to know the digital approximation of me if you have not already.
As for to my New York friends and fans, your wildest dreams are about to come true! You get to help me lift boxes up five flights of stairs!
See you all soon!

I am opening for this show:
TODD BARRY: THE CROWD WORK TOUR
A Todd Barry show consists of two things: amazing jokes and amazing crowd work. On this tour he’s not doing the amazing jokes. That’s right, an entire show of riffing and bantering with the audience. Could be good!

SF Sketchfest: The Business
SF Sketchfest: The Business And Friends
The Business is a long running weekly alt comedy showcase, recently voted “Best of SF” by the SF Weekly. Five comedians (Nato Green, Caitlin Gill, Sean Keane, Alex Koll, and Bucky Sinister) each curate a portion of your evening. It’s a comedy mixture that regularly includes special guests ranging from standup comics to authors to sketch performers to musicians and dancers. Recently, the Business expanded its operations southward with The Business LA, every Thursday in Silverlake. “…San Francisco does have a comedy scene—it’s just a little weirder, a lot less commercial, and often much funnier than what you’ll find elsewhere, and The Business is at its rumbling epicenter.” – San Francisco Magazine.

Moontower Comedy & Oddity Festival
Looking further out into April, I’ve been invited to perform at the Moontower Comedy & Oddity Festival in Austin TX. The lineup they’ve already announced is fantastic and I'm excited to be part of the fest and to return to Austin! More dates may pop up around the Gulf, so I'll let you know when to fire up the bbq.
A NOTE ABOUT THE BUSINESS:
The Business is my baby that I raised for the last three years with Chris Garcia, Sean Keane and Bucky Sinister. Later we welcomed Caitlin Gill, Chris Thayer, Mike Drucker and Nato Green to the ranks. Every Wednesday night we pour ourselves all over the stage at the Dark Room and it's paid off in so many ways. The last year-and-a-half it's been sold-out almost every week, and lately we've been turning people away. I never imagined it. Now Thayer and Garcia have launched The Business LA with Beth Stelling and Sean O'Connor and it's also thriving. My last Business SF as a regular member is on Feb 20th and features my pals Bobby Joe Ebola and the ChildrenMacNuggits. You should stop by.
Nato, Sean, Bucky and Caitlin will continue The Business in SF, maybe with some new blood as well. If you live in the Bay Area, I highly recomend you attend frequently.
Is The Business NY on the way? Don't worry about it.
