Last Friday night I performed at the benefit show for Supersnack at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. I performed as Dr. Lanny Latham. There were over 500 people there. All of those 500 plus people were there mainly to see the band, The Mountain Goats. A great majority of those people were also excited to see John Oliver, Dave Hill and others perform. I don’t think anyone was there to see Dr. Lanny Latham. But Lanny did his best to get them psyched. Check out some of these awesome pics from the event all taken by Jason Bergman.

Audience is asking themselves, “Who’s this guy?”

Dr. Lanny is telling them to “Get Psyched.”

“Quick Hands!”

Stilts.

In addition to the benefit concert on Friday night was the actual AIDS Walk NY on Sunday morning. Our good friend, Permanent Nutface Gary, just might’ve participated in this walk as well. We got some great footage of Gary walking through Central Park as crowds of people cheered him on. Team Supersnack was cool enough to go along with it and led many cheers of “Go Nutface! Go Nutface! Go!” On Monday, my mouth, neck and head were really sore. And I couldn’t figure out why. Then I remembered, “Oh yeah, I had my head and neck turned back with my mouth wide open while I walked around for 6 miles. Maybe that was it.” But I think it was worth it. Stay tuned for the next Permanent Nutface Gary video.

This post probably doesn’t help those living outside of the Greater Tri-State Area, unless you want to get on the next flight into LaGuardia. But I’ve got several shows coming up next week. You can check out all of my show info here on this very site or on my MySpace Page. (I’ve never promoted my MySpace page before, but I figure why not now? Also, does Facebook have an application where you can list your shows?)

Now at this time, I’d like to highlight two of those shows. The first one is a showcase show at the UCB. Here’s the info:

1. UCBT Super Spring Showcase

The second one is a benefit show for AIDS Walk NY. This is the third year in a row I’ve performed at the show. And I gotta say, it’s honestly one of my favorite shows of the year. Plus it’s for a good cause.

In related news, last Saturday, I had the honor of performing at the hit improv show, Let’s Have a Ball. And I might be sitting in on future shows. So stay tuned for that.

Okay, that’s that. Thanks for listening. I mean reading.
