The Miles Brothas: You Should Know Us

James and Will Miles are two of the greatest entertainers ever. Check us out in the future. James lives in Brooklyn with his wife and soon-to-be-born two daughters. He is on the show "The Electric Company" on PBS and is great on that show. He also can be seen in plays throughout the city and New York filmed shows like "Rescue Me" and "Law & Order; SVU."

Will Miles does comedy all over the city of Chicago, has done it in New York, and has recently made the move to doing commercials.

Matt & Kim @ Pitchfork 2009

Matt & Kim are really cool people. My homie Julia introduced me to them saying they were cool, and after kickin it with them, I can only agree! They gave us both free tickets to Pitchfork this year and it was fun as hell. Of course they rocked, but I got a lil out of it and checked out MF Doom, Pharoahe Monch, and The Flaming Lips and saw some of the best shit Ive ever seen. M80 was pretty dope too. Then we all went to a Peddy Cash moped party on the South Side where the homie Curt from Flosstradamus was DJing. Dancing and partying all night. Boxing ring in the basement. And Matt introduced me to their England publicist and we got along rather famously. She was very cute and a British accent will do crazy things to me. Pitchfork was real dope this year for me. I would recommend it to anyone.

Also this song is used for the NBC show "Community." Crazy. Congrats to Matt & Kim. That looks like a funny ass show.

Commercials I Did: Garmin GPS Phone

I just recently shot a commercial for this phone above. It was fun and I got paid!!! It will run for a "strong" six weeks during Monday Night Football and elsewhere starting October 5th. Look for me in it!

Chicago Comedy: Mike Sheehan

I've done about 30 shows with this dude in the last 6 days. He's funny as hell and he is ubiquitous in the Chicago comedy scene. Whenever you get a chance, check him out. He is gonna be at the "RIOT Comedy Showcase" on Thursday, August 27th (today!) at Chicago Joe's, 2256 W Irving Park, at 9:30PM. RIOT! will be hosted by James Fritz, another funny man. Its ran by Liza Treyger, Lauren Vino, and Renee Schultz, 3 cool ass girls who are definitely makin a name for themselves. Check it out!

The Hipster Showcase : September 12th, 2009

I'm doing Edge Comedy's Hipster Showcase on September 12th. Thats a Saturday night show!! Come Check it out. Its at 10:30PM. Some of the funniest people some people might call weird. I say we have kinda broad musical taste and clothing choices. Be there!

SNL News: Hannibal Buress

I got a chance to talk to my boy Hannibal Buress the other day. He just got hired as one of the new writers at Saturday Night Live this season, which starts September 26. Now I suggest everybody watch it! He fuckin starts Monday. For a man who only was doin stand-up comedy, it will be a change to have him wake up and go to work 6 days a week. But I mean, when your job is at 30 Rock writin for SNL, how can anyone be mad. Hannibal was a staple in Chicago and New York comedy, and when we first started the show at Town Hall Pub, he was one of the first to do it. Real cool dude. One of the homies. Watch the show!
