Too Blessed to be Stressed
Hi. I'm a comedy writer and performer in New York City.
I do a lot of that comedy writing and performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. This tumblr will be full of plugs for those shows.

COMEDY FLASHBACK WEEK 2009!
Flashback with *Eddie Brawley
“This is from a 30 Rock spec script I wrote in the spring of 2008. One of the plots was that Liz had bought a new purse and it had bed bugs in it. But lo and behold, in episode 4 of season 4, “Audition Day,” Jack gets bed bugs.
Basically the only similarities are that bed bugs are mentioned and Kenneth is the first one to recognize them because he knows about them from his crappy hometown. My script ended with Jack getting rid of the bed bugs by burning everything on the entire floor and replacing it.
The dog referenced in this scene is from a fake TGS sketch called Dog Driving Instructor.” - Eddie Brawley

(PETE and LIZ walk together. They both scratch themselves often.)
PETE
So where’s your special new bag?LIZ
Oh that? It’s not a big deal.PETE
You were pretty eager to be seen with it earlier. You said you felt like giving yourself a treat.LIZ
No, I was just making fun of people who say that.PETE
No, you were definitely proud of it. You said you even got a great deal on it, since it was definitely real.(Liz drops the facade.)
LIZ
Don’t remind me.PETE
Why? What about it?(They turn the corner and run into KENNETH.)
KENNETH
Y’all look like you got bed bugs.(Pete puts 2 and 2 together.)
PETE
(really concerned)
Are you serious?LIZ
Shhh!KENNETH
Did somebody go mattress shopping at the dump?LIZ
What?KENNETH
That’s how we got ‘em once back home. For Christmas Daddy took his truck and got us new beds. And new pets! Now y’all look like you got pets!PETE
Did you get your purse from a dump?LIZ
No! This place in Chinatown. The lady told me it was real!PETE
It’s fake too?KENNETH
That’s good because you might have to burn it.LIZ AND PETE
What?KENNETH
The only way to get rid of ‘em for sure is to burn everything they might have got on. Well unless you like them. I liked them because they didn’t bite me.LIZ
They didn’t bite you?KENNETH
Actually we couldn’t tell if they did because I had such bad poison ivy anyway. But I liked them!PETE
That’s disgusting.LIZ
I am going to march right down there and get my money back.PETE
Where did you say you got it?LIZ
I forget the name of the place exactly. It was right off Canal St. Next to some place with lots of meat and fireworks in the front window.PETE
I think you’d better kiss that money goodbye, Liz.LIZ
Damn! I needed that!(Kenneth points into the studio.)
KENNETH
Looks like they got pets too.ANGLE ON the studio door: The CAST and CREW are all scratching themselves while trying to rehearse a sketch with a dog standing on a desk.
LIZ
(to Pete)
Look, we have to break this news slowly.END.

Some old jokes for Comedy Flashback Week 2009
As we all know, Comedy Flashback Week 2009 - “The #1 Internet comedy festival on the Internet” - is underway. This is a festival to celebrate old and/or no longer relevant comedy. In that spirit here are some jokes that didn’t make it into a sketch/variety show I worked on in Fall 2008
On the 2008 Olympics:
The Beijing Catering Trade Association has told more than 100 designated Olympic restaurants to remove dog from their menus in an effort not to offend foreign tourists. So diners will no longer be able to taste dog meat intentionally.
On Madonna’s Divorce:
Madonna divorced her husband Guy Richie this week to be with Yankee Alex Rodriguez, confirming the stereotype that elderly Jewish women love gay men.
On A Rumored Jackson 5 Reunion:
Jermaine Jackson said this week that the Jackson 5, including Janet and Michael, would be reuniting for a series of concerts. To be fair, that’s his excuse whenever he needs the night off at Applebee’s.
On Somolian Pirates:
Somalian Pirates are on track to make a record $50 million dollars in profit in 2008. That much money will go a long way, especially when your living expenses are less than a dollar a day.
On Sarah Palin:
It was reported this week that Sarah Palin was unaware that Africa was a continent. When corrected, Palin replied, “No, I know the three continents: coffee, yogurt, and your choice of bagel or donut.”

Yep, this too.
So I might as well put this on my tumblr now that I’m obsessed with it.
This is the new video Pogo made for the movie Hook. He/she/they have also made awesome videos for Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins, and some okay ones for some other movies.

Yep, this is about the kind of movie that would come out on January 22nd.The Rock is… The Tooth Fairy (and why wouldn’t he be?)
my friend brought this upcoming film- and yes i do mean film - to my attention yesterday, which initially i brushed off with a brisk ‘oh whatever, hollywood.’ but at second wash (courtesy of takepart.com), i think i absolutely have to pay 12.50 for this.
I emailed Oscarbait asking if anyone had our team picture so I could submit it to an improv festival we’re applying to. This was their response.
