QUICK PLUG (SORRY AGAIN)
I recorded an album last year. I resent calling indie shit “specials”, but here’s mine if you want to watch it. Rather you listen to it on Apple Music though so I can get 0.008 cents per stream.
LASTLY THE 32 SPECIAL…
Started producing a weekly show called The 32 Special at Ireland’s 32 in Valley Glen, the best damned bar on the planet. Different headliners every week.
The seeds have been planted for what could be LA’s next great new material night/workout room/however comedians choose to use it. Give the show a follow on Instagram: @32specialcomedyshow.
Anyways, come by one of these nights. Flyer for the next show…
