Thank you so much for coming to THE INTERNET STAND UP SHOW! My name is Patrick Hastie, and I am your host!
I started this show because I know so many amazing comics all over the country, and I want to help spread the word about them! So through links and youtube clips, you'll get to see a bunch of amazing people!
This is the very first show! You assholes are on the ground floor! Tonight we have 8 of my favorite stand up comedians from all over the country (San Francisco, Des Moines, Denver, LA, Madison and NYC)!
Let's get the show started!
Coming up first, we have a hilarious comic from from Des Moines, Iowa (the town I started comedy in)! He performed at the Beast Village Comedy Festival last October and he’s been all over the Midwest since. Ladies and Gentlemen, go fucking nuts for DANTE POWELL!
DANTE POWELL! Let him hear it! So good! Dante's set was filmed at The House of Bricks (RIP) in Des Moines, Iowa. Goddamn is he funny! Please, follow Dante on twitter at @DantePowellII!
Alright, the next comic coming to the stage splits his time between Denver and New York City. He produces the monthly showcase The Greenpoint Comedy Show at the Word Bookstore in Brooklyn! Everybody, MICHAEL KARLIK!
MICHAEL KARLIK! Yes! Yes! Michael's set was filmed at The Comedy Works in Denver, Colorado. Boy that was good! Please, follow Michael on twitter at @michaelkarlik!
Now we have for you one of my favorite comedians and best friends! He lives in Madison, Wisconsin and regularly performs at Comedy Club on State! You best believe, it’s time for BRANDON REAM!
BRANDON REAM! I told you! I told you he was great! Brandon's set was filmed at The Comedy Club on State in Madison, Wisconsin. He’s one of my best friends! Please, follow Brandon on twitter at @Reamkore!
Here we go, what a great show so far! Coming up next is a fantastic comic from Oakland, California! You've heard on her critically acclaimed Downton Abbey podcast "Up Yours, Downstairs" and you can get her comedy album "20 Minutes to Sell" on bandcamp! I met her at the 2014 Green Gravel Comedy Festival, folks, go nuts for KELLY ANNEKEN!
KELLY ANNEKEN everybody! That was fucking awesome! Her set was filmed at Rooster T. Feathers in Sunnyvale, California. She's so fucking funny! Please, don't forget to follow Kelly on twitter at @TheFatling!
Next up is one of the best dudes I met in the last year! He’s performed at comedy festivals all over the country and last September released an amazing split comedy album with Zach Peterson and Ian Douglas Terry, which you can find on bandcamp. Everyone, ANDY SELL!
Andy Sell! Holy shit! Andy's set was filmed at The Synic Cave in San Francisco, California. So cool! Please go get his split album and follow Andy on twitter at @andy_sell!
Here we go everybody! This dude is one of the best! We grew up 10 miles from each other in Southwest Iowa, but he now lives in Denver, Colorado. You’ve seen him at festivals like Crom in Omaha and Fest in Florida! Hang on to your butts, here comes ZACH REINERT!
ZACH REINERT! So many jokes! So much applause! Zach's set was filmed at The Crom Comedy Festival in Omaha, Nebraska. How rad! Please, follow Zach on twitter at @zachreinert03!
Alright, this next comedian is so fucking funny! You’ve seen/heard on Put Your Hands Together in LA, at The Creek and The Cave in Long Island City, The Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland and she produces a monthly show/podcast called Hard, Lonely and Vicious. From New York City, please welcome, PEGGY O’LEARY!
PEGGY O'LEARY! How fucking awesome has this show been?! She’s a killer! Peggy's set was filmed at the Stress Factory. Fucking awesome! Please, follow Peggy on twitter at @PeggyOLeary!
We have one comic left, and you’re going to fucking love him! I met this guy when I first moved to NYC and he’s been blowing my mind ever since! He’s hilarious, nice and completely original! He was a finalist in the 2013 NBC Stand Up For Diversity competition and in 2014 Comedy Central named him one of 11 “Comic to Watch”. Everyone, lose your goddamn minds for JULIO TORRES!
JULIO TORRES! Man! That dude is so great! Julio's set was filmed on a spaceship somewhere in Brooklyn. Probably?! Please, follow Julio on twitter at @juliothesquare!
So that brings us to the end of the first ever THE INTERNET STAND UP SHOW! I hope you’ve had fun! Please, follow all of the comics you saw today and support them!
