Literal Albatross: A Thing by Doug Driesel Jr. |
Doug Driesel Jr. is, as the name suggests, is the second Doug Driesel. However, he’s the first Doug Driesel to be a stand-up comic. Doug was forged from the finest comedian parts Southwestern Missouri could provide, where he hosted a popular comedy radio show in college. Fresh off of not finishing college, he promptly lumbered off to Los Angeles. While working at becoming very good at making coffee-style drinks, he studied improv and sketch comedy at The Upright Citizens Brigade, Westside Comedy and IO West theatres. Doug’s comedy landed him and his stand-up an appearance on The History Channel’s ‘History of the Joke’ and The Eagle Rock Comedy Festival. Doug also appeared alongside George Wendt on the show ‘As Seen on TV,’ while his debut comedy album ‘My Name is Dave’ has been hailed by critics as “Available on iTunes.” Doug can currently be seen performing around Los Angeles and the Midwest, as a contributing writer for IO West’s ‘Top Story,’ and anywhere injustice rears its ugly head.

Here’s what a dummy _I_ am. I have started a new show Friday nights at ten o’clock at Magicopolis. Remember the bar show that Erik Tate used to do? Yeah, it’s that, only with a new name (Magic After Dark). That’s not what makes me a dummy, by the by.
What makes me a world-class dummy is the fact that I found out I’m doing the show last Friday, and I’m JUST NOW getting to Tumblng (NOT a typo. That’s how that word in that context would be spelled!) that shit!
So, tomorrow at ten pm, you should come out to my dumb show. It’s got two comics, myself and Ed Galvez, and two magicians, one of whom is my co-producer a one Michael Vile.
No cover. All close up stuff. We stand behind the bar and perform for you. Plus, it’s a ten of the clock, so there’s free street parking, if that’s the reason you avoid Santa Monca.
Of the interesting tip, it’s one of the few venues in Los Angeles where you can see comics stretching their legs with 15 minutes. Also, magic is pretty cool, right, you guys?
I hope you come out. I believe you’ll enjoy it. Not to push my beliefs on you. If that was the vibe I gave you, then I do apologize! I was like the Jehovah’s Witness of telling you what I think you will and/or will not enjoy.
So, if you can forgive me for my relentless pulpit grandstanding, then you can find the long and the short of it below.
Signed,
Doug Driesel Jr.
