Mike Polk's Handsome Blog: My Reasoning For Drafting An Entirely White Fantasy Football Team
My reasoning for drafting an entirely white Fantasy Football team this year was really two fold: 1- I thought it would be an interesting sociological experiment and perhaps help people, in some small way, to gain a better understanding of the racial differences that divide us to this day. 2- I’m…

Comics submit for Chucklefck at Ingenuity Fest September 16 and 17
Ingenuity Fest (www.ingenuitycleveland.com) will be September 16, 17 & 18 this year.
The music & arts festival has been growing since it’s inception in 2002, and it’s unique location under the Detroit/Superior bridge sets it apart as one of the most unique summer festivals in the city. Last year’s, attendance soared to over 40,000 visitors to the 3 day event.
Chucklefck is proud to be producing the comedy programming at this years event. The overall theme of Ingenuity Fest this year is studying the way things ‘flow’. So, in a vague effort to address that, we’re going to have a live twitter feed next to the stage to encourage audience interaction and study the impact social media is having on stand up.
Another aspect of the festival, and that which you’re submitting to, will be Chucklefck Showcases.
There will be 6 Chucklefck showcases featuring 3 comics each. There are 18 showcase slots available total that you are submitting for. The comic who performs best during their showcase will be invited to the Best of the Fest closing show at Hilarities (www.hilarities.com). The club has agreed to put up a host and feature week for stand outs from the festival.
There will be slots for additional comic programming (sketch, improv, podcast, etc.).
Your submission email should be sent to:
chucklefckpod@gmail.com
The Subject line should read:
Comic Submission (Your Name) for Ingenuity
- Name
- location
- a brief bio, links to your social networking sites (facebook/twitter/tumblr)
- in addition to the clip you would like to be reviewed.
Please, submit a clip that’s funny from beginning to end. If you submit an 8 minute clip and you’re hilarious during the first 4 and not so much during the last 4, that will probably affect your scoring by the selection committee. So, send your best clip and good luck!
Once your email submission is sent, please pay your submission fee via brown paper tickets, you’ll receive an email response confirming both have been received.
@NealBrennan The Tracy Defense
Vastly different view on the brew-ha-ha Tracey Jordan caused. In my opinion, what he said is disappointing and crazy, but so is almost everything Charlie Sheen did during his melt down. But somehow, he got more popular.
Seems like every other week, we’re treated to a celebrity caught in public saying something racist, homophobic, sexist, or religiously intolerant. We hear or watch the incriminating footage, give hollow acknowledgement that we’re lucky that every moment of our lives isn’t on the record, and then…

@CYSK RETURN TO @Reddstone June 11 & 12
Why You're Obsession With Getting Booked Is Actually Hurting Your Career
Every once in a while over on the Connected Comedy Facebook page I ask readers what topics they’d like to see me discuss in an article. Typically, about 70% of the comics who respond want to know more about how to get booked more and how to deal with comedy bookers.
It’s become abundantly clear to me that the vast majority of comedians out there are completely obsessed with the booking process and see it as the key to growing their career.
But here’s the thing: I think they’re wrong.
Not only do I think they’ve completely overrated the importance getting booked in growing their careers, I think their obsession with getting booked is actually having a negative impact on their career growth.
If comics spent more time working on their acts than worrying about booking more shows, they will only get better comedically and, in effect, book more shows (eventually, without asking).

Bela Dubby (13321 Madison Avenue) will stay open Monday because Chucklefck is awesome and it’ll be fun.
They’ll probably still gank the good sound equipment but who cares.
Let’s find a tiny grill and make some grub! I’ll bring napkins, you bring the food.
What you think?
