Dr. Lanny Latham is embarking on a World-Wide Book Tour for Get Psyched!, consisting of one city: Los Angeles. The reading will be at the UCB Theatre in LA this Thursday at 9:30 w/ very special guests Ed Helms, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Jessica St. Clair, Jackie Clarke, Nate Shelkey, and unknowing co-author, Will Hines. Click here for more info about the reading.

There’s already been some good press about the event. We’re featured as a “Top Pick” from LATimes.com. And we’re also featured in the print version of this week’s LA Weekly.

And if that’s not enough, Lanny has been promoting his book like crazy. Here are some brand new promo videos:

Get Psyched! Jump Cuts!

Watch out LA. You’re about to get Latham’d. Lanny Latham’d.

Above is a reading from the acclaimed self-help book Get Psyched! The 7 Steps to a More Psyched Life. The selection is from Step 7: Get Psyched.

Also, the book has been getting good press so far. Check it out:

Guess what folks? Dr. Lanny Latham has written a book. Yes it’s a real book that will drastically change your life for the better. Of course Lanny couldn’t do it alone. Lanny’s neighbor and co-writer Will Hines was on hand to make sure every syllable was as 100% psyched as possible. There are several people to thank for making this happen (most or all are mentioned at the beginning of the book) but a huge thanks goes out to Damian Chadwick, who designed it.

For the latest Improv Everywhere mission, I once again got really lost at a sporting event – this time at MSG at a Knicks-Hawks game. Click here to get the full rundown.

The stunt was covered by ESPN the Magazine. Check out the latest issue with Andre Johnson on the cover to read a nice write-up from Neil Janowitz (pg 40). Or just click here.

It was also written up by Will Leitch from NYMag. As well as SI.com, BoingBoing, Esquire, NBC NewYork, Gothamist, and was even up on the front page of MSN for a day.

Thanks to Mr. Charlie Todd, Matt Adams, Katie Sokoler, Chad Nicholson,, as well as Alex Scordelis, Cody Lindquist, Ben Rodgers, and Neil Janowitz for making it happen.

I’ll be performing in a big show this Thursday night with the sketch group 12 Angry Mascots. There will be sports related sketches performed, videos screened, as well as professional athletes on hand as guests. These guests include: All-Pro Jets cornerback Darrell Revis, Knicks starting point guard Chris Duhon, and from the Lingerie Football League (no joke) Majesty starting quarterback Krystal Gray.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Steve Phillips will be able to make it. BUT Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow, just might make an appearance. Details:

Finally, here’s a little video I did with 12 Angry Mascots called ‘Collinsworth NFL 10′. Chris Collinsworth is not only taking over for John Madden in the broadcast booth, he’s also cornering the video game market as well.

On Sunday I participated in the latest Improv Everywhere mission involving the use of 2,000 “invisible dog” leashes.

One highlight while I was out walking my invisible dog:

Crazy Guy: That your dog?

Me: Yeah.

Crazy Guy: Oh. I use Zoloft.

I guess he meant that instead of walking around with an invisible dog leash, he chooses to heavily medicate himself with Zoloft. Hey, whatever it takes.

The event has already been covered by several places including Gothamist, where you can see my punk-ass mug on the front page. As per usual most of the comments on Gothamist are highly negative and snarky, except for this nice one from The Klaus. Thanks Klaus! Also props to Katie Sokoler and Chad Nicholson for taking the photos, as well as Charlie Todd of course for organizing it.
