This is the profile page for a unique new standup comedy show in Hollywood every Friday and Saturday night at 11pm.
The show is called TWELVE SHINY NICKELS.
The idea behind it is that every show will have twelve comedians on it doing their best five minutes of material. That way you can see a bunch of great comedy in only 60 minutes and then go and get on with your life without being held hostage at a boring, crappy comedy show that drags on for 2 and 1/2 hours or longer.
All of the performers on the show are some of the best working comedians in the country and have been featured on programs such as The Tonight Show, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Late Show, Live At Gotham and Last Call With Carson Daly.
The best part about this show, besides the great comedy, is that it is completely BYOB. You're free to bring whatever beer, wine and spirits (21 years and over please) that you'd like to the show. We even have a corkscrew and plastic cups on hand for those of you who bring your own fancy wine.
So for less than half the price of a movie you see some of the best standup comedians in the country with no drink minimum and you can even bring your own booze.

THE VENUE'S STAGE MANAGER IS AN OFF-DUTY COP AND HE WILL ARREST YOU AND US IF YOU'RE CAUGHT UNDERAGE AND DRINKING. THANKS***
Hey--big weekend plans? I'm going to a reception for the LA Gay Men's Chorus' new education program on Sat night -- a house party in the Hollywood Hills. Then Sunday morning a group exercise thing (let's call it "hiking" LOL) with a gang from the gym. Hit me in email if you want to come to either. Otherwise have a great weekend!!! :-)
It's Cinco de Mayo in West Hollywood -- Woot woot! Are you going out and being crazy? I have to stay in and be a good boy and work on FINAL, FINAL (haha) cleanups of my new novel If the Rains Don't Cleanse. Will I stay true to task? Urrgh. You can always follow me on Twitter and find out. Hit be back if you do anything outrageous tonight. But don't do anything I wouldn't do ... unless you take pictures and post them. :-) Stay sweet BPJ
Scientist Agree- Myspace friends of American NonFiction are more likely to kiss the gender of their inclination when the balls drop. over Friends of Brand X. Happy New Years.
