Headed to London for the Women’s Summer Festival - running now! Only one event is open to fellas (with partner, see below), but if you’re looking for a teammate I’m told there should be plenty of folks looking to be paired up! Check the @PokerStars website for the full schedule!

Taking a break from the WSOP later this week to head to St. Louis for a four night, six show run at the Westport Funnybone featuring for Rob Durham (who is hilarious). Lemme know if you end up wanting to swing through!

Tomorrow Big Game on Tour S2 hits YouTube!!

This is happening next week! All 150 hands from Big Game on Tour (Nikki Limo’s table), streamed, with commentary, unedited. Only around 50 made the original broadcast, so it’s going to be around 100 totally unseen hands.

My friend JJ (I’m Not a Pervert) blew up last year and he’s putting me on his show in LA this Wednesday. Come on out for a truly unforgettable show (and me).

I played for the biggest stakes of my life this week. Hear all about it on this week’s episode of Poker in the Ears (featuring @EasyWithAces & @LucaPagano)! open.spotify.com/show/7wBvBsi...

Got a little show coming up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin!

Hey before Ash Wednesday is over I guess now would be a good time to tell you my high school yearbook quote was from Army of Darkness.

New episode of Poker in the Ears is out (wherever you get podcasts) and we* review the Matusow documentary (available on Amazon Prime). * some of us

Brand new episode of Poker in the Ears just dropped (download it on all the big podcast platforms) and we were lucky enough to be joined by Lefty who was an eye-witness to the sh*tshow table-turnin' at Cherokee.

Alright, Los Angeles. I don't know how much time I'll be spending here the rest of the year, but I do know I'll be at The Kookaburra Lounge in Hollywood tomorrow night for a 7pm comedy show. Hit me up for a link because this site ain't too keen on 'em. (Photo not recent)

The long awaited PCA 2023 shows are starting to roll out on YouTube! I’d link ya, but you know, throttling and all that. Check em out on the @PokerStars channel!!

Severance would be so much cooler if they were all worshipping Udo Kier.

New @pokerstarsusa.bsky.social Ambassador Caitlin Comesky joined as guest co-host on the Poker in the Ears pod this week. It took her all of a minute to call me a d*ck. Do y'all wanna see & hear more from Caitlin as a co-host? (Positive answers only) Download this week's episode for more.

If you want to show your partner just how little you value your relationship this Valentine’s Day, I’d like to remind everyone I’m available on Cameo and my pricing is humiliatingly cheap.

Who’s in the Biggest Little City in the World ™️ this weekend? I’m at Harvey’s (technically in Tahoe) this weekend on Friday & Saturday night. If you’re not, you can still catch me in Hollywood on February 28th at the Kookabura lounge.

If any of my LA friends want to pretend like they care about me I'll be at Flappers tomorrow night and I can give you a discount code for your caring as well so it'll only cost you $5 (plus a two drink minimum plus parking etc).

New episode of Poker in the Ears with yet another new feature in 2025 - GUEST CO-HOST! This week, it's @spraggy! Some say he's the perfect blend of James' smug arrogance & Stapes' smug stupidity. Others say he's simply "fine." Listen for yourself! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Got my first LA show of the year at Flappers on Saturday night. Hit me up for a massive discount code!

First LA show of 2025!

Here’s some shows I’ve got coming up in SoCal and Colorado and Reno. Featuring for really great comics like @claytoncomic & @PatBurtscher & @AdamCozens27. Oh, and if this gets 1k RTs I’ll take edibles and stream the new Indiana Jones game in an hour (probably doing this anyway).

I’ve had a really nice time mostly being off social media for the past few weeks, but I gotta let everyone know I’m at The Ice House a week from tomorrow. (Then Denver and all over Colorado the following week.)

Alright, mah babies. Time to start the 2025 comedy show shilling! I'm featuring for TWO FANTASTIC comedians @claytoncomic.bsky.social & Pat Burtscher (you've seen his viral clips) all over Colorado this January.

New episode of Poker in the Ears releases today where we break down the live Spin N Go Championships happening in Prague with Nick Walsh. Everyone all talking about their Spotify Wrapped - well you can get the podcast there too, my babies. Talk to you in Prague!

Alright my babies - we’ve only got two more episodes of Poker in the Ears this year and we’re looking for listeners to come on and challenge me to trivia of THEIR CHOOSING. If you live in a place where you can play on Stars - you get a $109 ticket if you win. Swag if you don’t!

I’m so excited, I’m going out for some REAL FUCKIN HOUSTON PIZZA!

Not gonna lie, last night was the sort of night that you dream about when you decide to do standup. Come on out tonight to Riot (7pm), and let's make it two for two. After-party/poker game at Champions Club (10pm).

Just checked into Champions Club here in Houston - what a cool spot! I think Josh Arieh is septuple barrel bluffing right under my feet! Reminder: Michael Ian Black and I have three standup shows at Riot downtown today/tomorrow & we'll be playing cards at Champions tomorrow after the show & Monday!

They’re trying to kick a guy off my flight. Apparently his ticket is no good for some reason. He’s at the phase where he’s venting to the other passengers who are trying as hard as they can do ignore him. Will update if it gets interesting. Do we do this kind of thing on BlueSky?

Just a quick word for poker folks around Houston, TX (spreading the word would be amazing, Houstonites): I’ll be featuring with Michael Ian Black at Riot on Saturday & Sunday. Sunday after: hanging and playing cash Champions Club Texas. Monday you can catch Hartigan there as well!

I hate when I’m having fun playing a poker tournament and then I get a hand I have to play.
