Jimmy Earll: The World Series of Comedy

64 comics from around the U.S. and Canada vie for cash and prizes this september...actually it's 30 weeks of work at major comedy clubs around the country...plus, it's in veags!!

I opened my email on my I-touch early this morning and the way i had to scroll down, the 'who made it' list looked like i hadn't made it...but as i scrolled further down i saw my name on the quarter-final list of shows...YEEHAAA!!

That first list was the wild-card list...45 comics competing to get on our list...but originally thinking it was THE list...are you confused yet? Funny, the thoughts that went through my head as i read the names of comics on the first list, i was surprised how competitive i was. A fellow comic, who owns a comedy club in scottsdale was on that list and i was thinking thank goodness he'll never know i didn't make it...cuz we had a falling out and...anyways. Another comic from my phoenix days was on that list and thought...gosh, if he knew i didn't make it...instead of feeling happy for them i made it all about me...SAD!!

BUT, these guys are very talented and i wish them both the best of luck!!

congrats also to Tim Babb, we did the SF competition together last year...and also to Chris Bennett, a comic also from phoenix who made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show and Andrew Norelli who i perform with this weekend.
