CTK came to life in Mar. of ’06 after a wannabe hack-comic by the name of jasonfreakinbang was looking around on the net for midget porn. Afterwards, while he was looking around Craigslist, he saw that a coffee shop in Mission Valley was having an open mic. Not afraid of being spat upon by complete strangers, he made his way to this unsuspecting coffee shop. He showed up and noticed the place was half-empty like his head (or would that be half-full?). He performed his god-awful 10 minutes of "comedy" consisting of yelling and screaming the ingredients of Pert shampoo. Afterwards, as he regained his composure by drinking some prune juice, he thought to himself, "I need to take a dump." But shortly after that, he thought that he could quite possibly run a comedy show at this place. After an hour or so of discussion and thumb-wrestling, Chris (the owner and all-around pimp mack daddy) and Jason joined forces like Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage once did. They decided to put their knowledge and skills together to create....COMICS THAT KILL.
Fast forward to December ’07! That Jason guy decides to takes CTK on the road to various spots around SD County and beyond (all depending on whether or not he can get the ok from his parole officer, of course). The brand that is Comics That Kill will spread like the fungus that is located on his left buttock.

If you want to get booked, just ask. If you're on my friends list then it's possible I'll ask you to be on one of my shows. If I book you and you become a headache afterwards ("I don't like the picture that you used on the flyer, can you change it?" and other whiny crap like that) then I probably won't book you again. Also, I want to work with comedians that promote themselves. That shows me that you're serious about what you doing as a comedian. I spend a lot of time promoting my shows (and YOU) so at the very least you can send out a bulletin to let people know that you're performing. I'm not going to put up with your shit, so if you don't like it, go work with someone that signed a deal with HBO or something.
Getting paid is easy at one of my shows! For every person that says your name at the door, you will get 3 of the 5 dollar cover charge. The more you promote, the more you get paid.
Comics That Kill can be found the first and third Monday of every month at Club Rileys in the Point Loma area of San Diego.
Who I'd like to meet: Funny comics that don't smoke crack before they perform. Unless, of course, that makes them better. In that case, I'm all for it.
Comics that Kill is a great venue because it is in a coffee shop. The coffee breath is a little gross but at least the audience is awake for the whole show.
what kind of witchcraft are you pulling CTK? I clicked on to leave a comment & heard my annoying voice spewing 1/2 ass jokes all over the page!! When am I gonna be booked again!! I don't ask just anybody!
Happy Earthday to you, as well!!!
Jackie : )
PS: I gotta go and hug a tree now.
Sorry, I didn't mean to get all graphic like that.
Myspace, after all, IS a completely wholesome site.
