I've been amazed at the support my fans have given to me over the years. I get e-mails almost every week thanking me entertain folks for so long. Sometimes, I will receive gifts, or a few bucks are dropped into my Paypal as a thank you. I often hear people say that they wish there was something they could do to pay me back for the smiles I've given them. And I have to admit, it really touches me to hear that.
That's why I want to share some news with you. If any of you out there have ever enjoyed the rants, shows or podcasts I've put on and you'd like to do something in return, then after ten years, I finally have a favor to ask of you.
Through a little work on my bunny's part, I have been booked at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood. If you've ever watched Comedy Central, you've seen the venue. Almost any time a comic has a stand up show on that channel, this is the stage it is filmed on.
I'm going to be part of a set of comics performing that night and if enough people come to see me, they will give me my own show. The guy who booked me also does bookings for The Improv and other clubs around the LA area and will start looking at getting me into more of the big clubs if I do well.
I can't count the number of people who've said to me over the years, "You are SO going to be on Comedy Central one day." Well, right now is the time that you guys can make that happen. But I need your support. I can't do it on my own. You guys have the opportunity to put a stand up comic from our own furry fandom into the homes of every mundane in the US for the first time.
And you can do this by coming to see my show. If a massive pile of you guys come in to cheer me on, that will be all the owners and agents need to see. If I can show them how many awesome fans I have in the world, they will send me places.
I currently have 20 tickets for sale to this show. They're going for just $10 each and they buy you an entire night of comedy from several different comics, not just from me. If I run out, you can still get tickets at the door for $15 the night of the show.
As you guys know, I've done comedy clubs and universities in the past. But here in LA, the performances I do could really make a difference. I've been waiting a long time to be sent down this path and I believe that a lot of you out there have been waiting and hoping with me. Well, now it's time.
I would like to invite anyone who can make it to come to The Comedy Store in Hollywood on September 16th and make some noise for me. http://www.thecomedystore.com/home.h
If you can make the show and you'd like to buy a ticket, please write to me. 2@ranting-gryphon.com. I will mail your ticket to you or, if you're in the area, I will give it to you personally. Hell, I'll even sign the back.
In the mean time, wish me luck!
P.S. The 2 Sense Show will be on tonight at 10pm Eastern, 7 Pacific. We've permanently changed our day to Saturday, by popular demand. See you tonight!

I'd come out if I could but I'm that special grade of college student poor right now.
You'll be in my prayers.
Again, best of luck dude, I hope you make it big like you deserve.

(Also, sooo wishing I could be there. Unfortunately a plane trip across the country...not in my budget at this time, darn it.)

But man, I hope this goes well for you. :D Keep us informed!

I always thought you would do better finding a way on Letterman, though.
Are you going to be able to make it as R-rated as you can, or does it have to be toned down to the politically correct PG crowd?
Break a leg. And the legs of the naysayers, as well. :)

Had I the time and money, I would come and see you. But...right now student loans don't pay for emergency-supporting-comedians, yet!

I wish I could make it down to LA, but funds are shit for me right now, but I'm still hoping for a large turnout of your fans anyway.
