Tommy Chong & Shelby

I spent all day Friday with Tommy & Shelby Chong taking them to various Sirius radio shows then on to 92.3's Radiochick all to promote their appearances at Comix. I made sure Tommy knew about the brew-ha-ha that ensued Wednesday between Danny Bonaduce (see below) and Chuck Nice. Tommy thought for sure it was staged so during the on air segment Tommy asked Chuck all about it. It made for a lively radio appearance and we gave a few listeners free pairs to the shows. Tonight is their last night here in NYC, so check them out at 7:30 at Comix.

On air, Tommy chatted alot about his experience being locked up for 9 months for selling bongs. He & I talked a bit about my dad being in jail for attempted murder. Certainly not quite the same scenario but there was much that didn't need to be "said". I got a copy of his book The I Chong, Meditations from the Joint and look forward to finding the time to read it. I'd love to send Dad a copy but think that it might be considered paraphernalia or inappropriate material. Only after reading it will I know for sure.

So anyyywaayyy...he's so warm and charming, you should buy his book. Shelby is just as lovely and funny. You should definitely find time to see their live shows be it at Comix or beyond.

Oh yeah, and Christian & Tommy were once both in the same Entertainment Weekly Sound Bites!

Danny Bonaduce Re-Cap

I took this picture of Danny Bonaduce posed with fans after we left the Opie & Anthony morning show yesterday. You can catch more of Danny and his escapades along with Christian Finnegan, Michelle Balan, and Ardie Fuqua tonight at Comix!

Danny and my friend Chuck Nice nearly got into a fight -- literally -- on Radiochick this afternoon. Chuck is the co-host of this awesome radio show on 92.3 and is also a panelist on Best Week Ever. Danny was so psyched about it...especially since they had a smoke break and made nice (no pun intended).

Anyway....tickets are $22 and can be purchased by calling (212) 524-2500 or by visiting http://www.comixny.com/. To save 25% on tickets use the code "Partridge". No food or drink minimum and dinner seating is available.

[Edit: Danny even talked about it on stage tonight! Saying, "I was on Stern and Opie & Anthony with no problems. I go on *Radiochick* and almost get into a fist fight. Go figure."]

Voted Best Female Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards, Madigan's ability to talk about serious topics and draw insane conclusions is the reason she sells out comedy clubs and theaters across the country. The former journalist and Southern Illinois University graduate's superb timing and polished act have made her a favorite among club goers and late night audiences. She has also starred in her own popular half hour specials on HBO and Comedy Central and the USO Comedy Tour Special. She is a veteran of The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Late Show with David
