THE ONLY ALBUM THAT HAS EVER BEEN REMIXED

During the pandemic I set out to put together a remix album of my first standup album, something I don't think any comedian had ever done before. I reached out to a bunch of musicians and got 21 of them on board to each remix one track from my album. Because it's not really clear what a remix of a standup track is, I told them they could do whatever they wanted as long as they referenced my original track in some way -- they could sample it, they could use my words as lyrics in a song, they could literally just do the bit themselves, or they could do something weirder than all of that. What I received back from them was the most diverse slew of content you could possibly imagine. There are grime rap songs, sketches, house music, country songs, folk, industrial, instrumental hip hop and so much more. Everybody crushed it.

Over the course of months I collected these 21 tracks into a full-length album and released it through Aspecialthing Records as a double-vinyl package alongside my standup album. It actually came with a supplemental 7-inch and CD-single in order to fit all the remix tracks in the package. I designed and laid out the packaging, made the website for the album, put it on bandcamp, coordinated royalty payments with the artists and got them all tagged (or not tagged) correctly in every store and streaming service. Once it was done I slept for years.

Buy the vinyl, listen to the digital album, or check out the project's website.

GARBAGE PARTY

I wanted to make an insane sketch show, and here we are. All of the graphics and transition animations were made by me and the sketches were written and shot by me (except the Jackass sketch which was shot/edited by Thomas R. Wood). I dug through the internet for public domain footage to chop and screw, recorded a bunch of new voiceover and turned one piece of video into a techno song. I edited and released it and almost no one saw it but hey, that's alright! I made a thing that I love.

ONE RECORD A MONTH

In 2024, I made a pact with myself that I would put out one record a month. I designed all the packaging, matched the right color vinyl with the right the designs, self-distributed a few via CD Baby and put them all on my bandcamp. One was a split release with a band called SMALL, one was a companion to my magazine I'm Scared, and one was shaped like a gun. I collaborated with artists on three of the covers and otherwise made all the art myself. A small-run vinyl plant I love very much called Lock Grooves manufactured most of the releases, but two I had to source from other places. The packaging often came from Lock Grooves as well, but just as often I worked with printing places around the country to get the right thing made. I made the website, I managed sales and eventually put it together into a singles collection and a box set that hasn't been released yet.

Check out the records, check out the website, or listen to the digital versions on bandcamp.

NUMBER 5

This is one of my favorite things I've ever written. It's the beautiful and heartwarming story of a very nice serial killer. I co-wrote it with Pat Bishop, he directed it and I starred in it. I also produced it, cast it, found all the props and costuming, scheduled the shoots, managed the money and designed the flyers we use in it. It bopped around the internet a little bit and then got picked up by JASH.
