Comedy Works To Host Shows In Memory of Robin Williams

In light of the recent news regarding the passing of comedic genius Robin Williams, Comedy Works is planning to host two fundraisers in his honor.

Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams rose to fame with the role of Mork in the acclaimed TV series Mork & Mindy, set in Boulder, Colorado back in 1978. '

In response to the tragic loss of this comedic icon, Comedy Works believes that his memory can be best served by helping others suffering from depression and contemplating suicide. Therefore, 100% of the ticket sales will be donated to the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado (SPCC). The SPCC was formed in 1999 with the mission to reduce suicide and its impact for all Coloradans through advocacy, collaboration and education.

Newly out comedian Todd Glass gets serious (Part 1 of 2)

By Drew Wilson

Todd Glass has been doing stand up for 25 years and appeared on both the second and third seasons of "Last Comic Standing." 

He came out publicly only a few months ago, on the podcast WTF with Marc Maron in response to recent headlines about the bullying and subsequent suicides of gay youth across the country, and now Glass will be appearing at Comedy Works South at The Landmark tonight through Saturday (May 17-19). I had a chance to chat with the comedian about some pretty serious subjects including his passion for equality, his coming out process, and how homophobia hurts us all. 

Here's part one of our interview. Check back tomorrow for part two.

Drew Wilson: So Mr. Glass, I hear you got your start in comedy at a very young age.
Todd Glass: Yeah, I have been doing stand up comedy for about 25 years now. I started in high school and it’s still my favorite thing in the world to do. I started at a club in Philadelphia when I was 15. I used to watch acts like Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Seinfeld and Roseanne Bar.

Wow, that's like the Golden Age of Stand Up. Didn’t you have school or somewhere to be?
I did but you know, my parents were very supportive because I didn’t do very well in school. I had dyslexia and it wasn’t really well known back then. But I’ve always just loved stand up – even when I was 10 or 11 I would watch it on TV and I’ve just always loved it.

And you've been touring ever since. You're coming to Comedy Works tonight. You must have been here before at some point, right?
I have been. Comedy Works is a great club with a great reputation for a reason. Wendy knows how to run a comedy club and it’s just a great place for the audience as well as the comedians. 

Was appearing on "Last Comic Standing" very different from what you usually do?
Anytime you’re doing anything like comedy or music, it’s basically the hardest thing in the world to do. And when you make it into a competition it doesn’t make it any easier. It’s always nerve-wracking but basically I just hung out with my friends and had a good time. Overall it was a great experience and it changed a lot for me. It brought me into peoples’ living rooms in the prime time hour.

So after so many years on the road and in the public eye, you recently decided to come out as gay. What was your thought process behind that decision?
You know, I thought that not doing it was just adding to the validity of the thought that it was something worth hiding. I have a podcast on Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Industries and I do shows on Earwolf and there’s a very young audience that comes out to see comedy and I just thought that, if I was honest with who I was then other kids and adults could maybe be honest with themselves as well. I don’t want to die having never been real with myself. 

But, I also have to say that I was ready to do it. I knew nobody in my life would be horrified and I’ve been happy to find out that people in my life have been accepting and supportive.You should never push anybody else. Everybody comes out at the same time and that’s when they’re ready. Matter of fact, I always say - rather then tell kids to come out, why don’t we just make sure we're laying out a welcoming mat for when they’re ready?  

What kind of reaction have you gotten?
One thing that really is overwhelming to me is that I’m surprised both by how many hateful people there are as well as how many people are accepting. And sometimes they aren’t the people you would expect. I have people come up to me after shows that I may perceive to look like someone who wouldn’t be OK with it but they don’t give a shit and they say the kindest, warmest things. 

That’s why, on my podcast The Todd Glass Show, I say that to take someone who is homophobic and make them not be homophobic is a challenge, but it's doable. What’s less of a challenge is for gay people and people aren’t homophobic to just be more vocal about it. Matter of fact, I want to start a campaign for straight people to put message videos online, a very simple message, "I don’t give a shit!" and that’s the whole campaign. Just straight people saying “My name is" and "I don't give a shit!"

Why is that an important message for straight people to express?
 I think it’s important to ask people who aren’t homophobic to start being a little bit more vocal. If you hear someone saying something homophobic, treat it as if you heard someone using the N word. You wouldn’t just listen to it, you would go, “whoa, whoa, whoa!”

And what is your message to gay people?
Don’t let someone who is misinformed and unhealthy make you have a shitty life. I get so many emails from people – some of them make me cry – because people are hurt and outraged by what’s going on. But you don’t have to be gay to be outraged. I’m not a woman, I’m not black or Mexican but I have the same zero tolerance and outrage for any kind of hatred against any group of people.

You seem really passionate ...
All my life, I’ve never been really able to discuss this stuff. My rage comes from every single human being on this planet who oppresses someone else. That’s why I get so excited about this topic. Because I haven’t been able to before. But at the end of the day I’m just out on the road doing the same stuff I’ve been doing for the last 25 years, just being funny and that’s what I’ll continue to do.
Todd Glass will be appearing at Comedy Works South at The Landmark on May 17-19. Click here for tickets or more information.

Stand Up Proud: A conversation with openly gay comedian Thai Rivera (Part 2 of 2)

By Drew Wilson
Openly gay comedian Thai Rivera brings the Stand Up Proud comedy tour to Denver's Comedy Works this Sunday, April 29 at 7pm for one show, one night only of comedy by, for and about the GLBT community. 
 
After the show, the gay old time continues with the Official After-Party/Meet N Greet at The Corner Office in LoDo.
I caught up with Thai on the road recently and we had a chance to talk about the tour, GRINDR and why the gay community needs to support gay shows and events. 
You can read part one of the interview by clicking here. And now, here's part two!
 

Drew: You've said that the gay community sometimes doesn't go to comedy shows because of the fear of homophobia from the comedians. When have you experienced homophobia?
Thai? What I call The New Homophobia is more of what I experience than the old school homophobia. It’s more like people ripping my straight friends for hanging out with me and implying that they must be gay is usually what I encounter. On the road, for the most part, my personal fan base is a lot of straight people – soccer moms and stuff like that. I think a lot of times in the media it's made to seem like things are homophobic and red states and blue states and, I mean, I’ve traveled everywhere. I do a joke in my set where I talk about performing in really white, rednecky rooms and sometimes my act doesn’t feel like an act, it feels like a really long suicide note. But really, that's just a joke because I used to feel like they were going to kill me sometimes but it turned out to be great. I don’t think people are nearly as homophobic as the media makes it seem.

Do you think gay audiences find different things funny versus straight audiences?
I don’t really notice a lot of differences sometimes. Gay people in certain areas used to get uncomfortable with some of what I did because I think they took it as me airing our dirty laundry in public.

Sometimes I say things that they think are a little too much, letting straight people in a little more than I should. I don’t really have a filter or think about what I’m saying a lot of times, I just say it. If it’s funny, I’ll say it. But really it hasn’t been a problem for a long time. San Francisco used to be a hard place for me to perform because there you have a lot of overly militant, far-left types. They thought I was too much in some cases. Sometimes in an entire room, there would be like five people left when I was done.

That sounds rough.
Yeah, that definitely takes the wind out of your sails. It's like, really, you guys are that upset? But that’s what they want to do.

Being on tour so much, how do you spend your downtime?
I go to the gym. I buy shoes. I like buying vintage t-shirts. I go to the movies sometimes. Sometimes I go to clubs. But a lot of time when you’re performing the comedy clubs are not in the main part of the city and it can be too much effort to get to the gay clubs. Before, I used to be on Grindr and that kind of stuff but now I’m dating somebody so I’m pretty lame on the road.

So have you stopped going on Grindr or have you just stop telling the guy you're dating that you're going on Grindr?
Oh, no. I’m not allowed so I’m not on Grindr. We’ve been together like 8 or 9 months and it’s a little bit hard because he’s in Vegas and I’m in LA but I know what I'm not allowed to do. But it can be annoying when the person you want to spend time with is a four hour drive away.

Why should gay Denver come out to the Stand Up Proud show?
They should come out to the show because it’s gonna be fun and they can see Dina Martinez who I think is a real find. A lot of times the transgender community is kind of ignored and sometimes when I’ve seen transgendered comics they tend to have more of a Q&A type situation but Dina actually does stand up and she’s really funny. I want the community to know that not only is this going to be a great time but they should support it because people are always complaining about not seeing gay people in different things but then when gay people do do things, sometimes the community doesn't  come out and support it. And if gay events and things don’t make money – if gay people don’t show their support – then business owners assume the community isn’t interested and then they don’t book gay shows. It's lose/lose and people then try to blame it on homophobia but it’s not, it’s business.

Stand Up Proud: A conversation with openly gay comedian Thai Rivera (Part 1 of 2)


By Drew Wilson

Openly gay comedian Thai Rivera (along with pals Shawn Pelofsky and Dina Martinez) brings the Stand Up Proud comedy tour to Denver's Comedy Works this Sunday, April 29 at 7pm for one show, one night only of comedy by, for and about the GLBT community. 

I caught up with Thai on the road recently and we had a chance to talk about the tour, his personal brand of politically incorrect comedy, and homophobia in the world of stand up comedy. 

Here's part one of our two part interview.

Drew: Hey Thai, tell me how the Stand Up Proud Comedy Tour came about.
Thai: I was on the road with a comedian named Jo Koy for about a year and while I was on the road I would always meet other gay people and a lot of them told me they were glad to see me because they don’t usually go to comedy shows because sometimes they don’t feel comfortable because a lot of times comedians will say things that are homophobic. So I decided to put together a tour.

And how did you go about putting together a "gay" tour?
Well, this is gonna sound bad but I get tired of watching the same stereotypes on stage over and over. Whenever there’s a gay person, they’re ridiculously flamey and that’s cool and I know that’s a part of the gay community but that’s not all we are so I wanted to show a different side of what we are.


What different side of who we are do you feel you represent?
Actually I think I represent the majority of the community. When it comes down to it I don’t think gay people are that much different from straight people. I just think that a lot of times people are pushing the same things over and over again when it comes to being gay, like we’re all trying to get married. The gay media seems to be pushing the sames things over and over.

How would you describe your comedy?
I'm not politically correct at all. I say pretty much anything I want. I hit every demographic in my act, including gay people. It’s all in fun. It’s all good-natured. It’s very rare that people don’t get me. I just poke fun at everyone.

How did you end up teaming up with Shawn Pelofski (pictured, with friends) and Dina Martinez, the other performers on the tour?
A friend of mine named Steve Trevino brought it up to me. I don’t even know why but he thought I should start a tour in Texas. I don’t know why he was thinking of me so much but he called me out of nowhere and suggested that I have Shawn Pelofski and a different lineup but then I stumbled onto Dina Martinez who I think is great and asked if she wanted to come along and that’s how we ended up.

And how did you get hooked up with Comedy Works here in Denver? Did they jump at the chance for a night of gay comedy?
I worked there with Jo Koy so I already had a little bit of a relationship so when I came up with the tour I figured I’d give a call. It seems that Denver has a pretty good population of gay people and I’ve noticed that straight people in Denver don’t really seem to have an issue with gay. I haven’t noticed much homophobia when I’ve been there. Denver has this live and live attitude.

Charlie Murphy at Comedy Works


Charlie Murphy’s rapid ascent from “Eddie Murphy's brother/bodyguard” and “Chappelle's Show” cast member to top-billed international comedian, playing to sold-out audiences around the globe, has been remarkable. He has spent the past six years performing his critically acclaimed stand-up and solidifying his position in Hollywood as a true acting talent, in his own right.

Murphy recently wrote, produced and starred in a series of sketch comedy webisodes for Sony Entertainment and Crackle.com. Released in March 2009 and titled “Charlie Murphy’s Crash Comedy”, the series showcases Murphy’s comedic range through sketches, parodies and infomercials. Check out a sample below (NSFW due to some salty language).


He'll be at the downtown Comedy Works September 25-27 so be sure to check him out. Get tickets or more information at www.ComedyWorks.com.

Hal Sparks speaks

Since being named the 'Funniest Teenager in Chicago' by the Chicago Sun Times in 1987, Hal Sparks has gone on to host 'Talk Soup' on E! Entertainment Television and star as lovable Michael Novotny on the ground-breaking television show 'Queer as Folk'.

He's appeared in several feature films and his band, Zero 1, recently released their debut album. He's currently touring the country with his stand-up comedy and tonight and tomorrow night he will be appearing at Denver's Comedy Works.

I caught up with Hal yesterday and we talked about politics, being magnificent in the sack, and why there will never be a 'Queer as Folk' movie.

Full interview after the jump.

Hal Sparks speaks
By Drew Wilson


Drew: For people who only know you through your acting, how would you describe your stand-up comedy?
Hal: I’ve been trying to decide whether it’s more brilliant than funny or more funny than brilliant but I think it’s a neat balance of both personally.

You walk the razor’s edge.
If you flipped the coin of brilliant and funny on my act, the coin would land perfectly on it’s side – and stay totally still.

I saw that in a 'Twilight Zone' episode once.
I think it’s a comedian’s job to kind of take it to the root level and take any kind of concept, idea or institution that people hold dear and basically chew at its root like a beaver to see if it falls over.

What does chewing at the root of comedy taste like?
Usually it tastes like chocolate because most of our society is built on the idea of being an adult but still eating sweets. Everything is built on chocolate.

So tasty.
I address what I think are the real important truths. For instance, Starbucks does not sell coffee - they sell milkshakes. People need to come to terms with the fact that every morning before work they get up and they have a milkshake. If it’s 80 percent sugar, ice-cream and whip cream and you breathe coffee over the top of it, that does not make it coffee. Coffee is that shitty brown liquid your dad drank and you said ‘ew’ and wrinkled your nose at.

Speaking of wrinkling your nose, with everything else you've done in your career are you sick of being identified as Michael from 'Queer as Folk'?
I’ll never get tired of people liking Michael and I’m proud of that association, honestly.

Now that it's been over for a few years, what do you think the significance of QAF was on the cultural landscape?
I think it was very influential. Not to toot our own horn but it definitely was. In California, gay marriage is legal right now and that’s a huge step forward and I think the show had a lot to do with it. You have to understand who was watching it a lot of teenagers and college kids and what happened was that those kids are voting now and at a very young age they were shown that the way gay people had been treated was unfair and they were able to come at it from a completely different point of view.

I think what happened is, and I’ve always said this, the benefits of QAF would only be genuinely appreciated and felt four years after the show ended and it’s been about two and a half years and you can really see it starting to happen. The religious right and the other psychopaths on that side have been trying to stop the march toward gay rights and the truth is, it’s like trying to push toothpaste back in a tube. It’s not gonna happen.

You can’t keep young people bigoted once they’ve seen an alternative view.

Wow. So now that the 'Sex in the City' movie has paved the way for a $100 million opening, when can we expect the 'Queer as Folk' movie?
No way will there ever be a 'Queer as Folk' movie.

Really? Why not?
Because a couple of the cast members I know for sure wouldn’t do it and I’m certain that the executive producers Ron and Dan wouldn’t want to work with them either.

Bad blood?
Uh, yeah.

Gimme the dirt! What happened?
My feeling always was, an an actor - and especially as one of the straight actors on the show, that, to a degree, it was my job to do my lines the way they were written and mind my fucking business because our executive producers and many of our writers were gay and were creating these scripts and lines to tell their stories. What, I’m gonna come in and say, 'well I don’t think my character would do that'?. It’s like, seriously? Fuck off. Let's just say there was a little bit of, um, pushback with some of the other actors on the show.

The gay ones or the straight ones?
Um, one of each, actually. There ended up being a lot of negativity in kind of just trying to get loving storylines done and it was a tall order.

That sucks.
Yeah. I’m still in contact with many of the people from the show like Bobby Gant, who played my character’s boyfriend, and Harris, who played my son. Both of those guys put a lot of themselves into that show and worked really friggin’ hard and I have a really low tolerance, personally, for anybody who would interrupt that process of peple trying to do good work just because of ego and bullshit.

So those two people, and I’m sure the people out there in Queer as Folkland have some idea who I’m talking about, I wouldn’t work with them again in any capacity.

Can we kill them off?
It’d be a little hard although I’m for it. That’s a joke. Relax. But there is a chance and I always push Ron and Dan in this direction and I think it would be very healthy to do something like 'QAF: Miami' or 'QAF: Chicago' where they took a different group of people and brought the show back that way. You could have Ted or one of the other characters go there and lead us through the beginnings.

That would be great.
Well, thank you. I thought so myself.

Where do we go to sign the petition to make that happen?
I would go to Showtime about it. If anybody could do it it would be them. I’d exec produce it but I have no business going anywhere near a gay show as anything other than an actor.

My best friend growing up came out of the closet when I was 19 or 20 but his parents still don’t know and it’s always been tough for him. He’s always viewed my taking the role of Michael as kind of a gift to him. In some ways I guess it was but in other ways it just made so much sense to me to do it I could see no downside other than the fearful career BS that people got so worked up about what if you never work again well then I’m an asshole and it’s my problem.

It really was never a concern for you to play gay?
No. It was more of a concern actually for the gay actors and I think it turned out to be right because I think the gay actors on the show have had a harder time working after the show than the straight ones have. That’s a fact and it’s a shameful one. I think it points to gay casting directors in Los Angeles who are unable to look past the job they did more than anything else. It’s one of my pet peeves. I’ve read in front of casting directors knowing full well they’re gay and knowing they wouldn’t let other gay actors get past them.

So what else are you working on currently?
I was under contract for six years straight with 'Talk Soup' and then QAF one right after the other so I was working full-time and not able to tour with stand-up or music or even do any film/ now the direction I’m going is to tour with stand-up because I consider that my primary art, my band is going in to the studio in November to do our second record and I’m working on a couple of features one I’m writing and two I’m developing. The big one that I’m most proud of is called 'Undercover Band' about an ‘80s metal cover band that saves the world from a psycho cult.

I’d buy a ticket.
It’s a good time. I wrote it and it’s very funny. I’m very proud of it. And there are some other things I’m securing the rights to but in the meantime it’s nice to be a stand up because I have my life and I can live and make a living while I’m doing other things and I can really enjoy what I do with my career.


I do a little feature here on the blog called 'Who Would You Do?' where I match up two different people to see who my readers find the most desirable. You're totally whupping Jimmy Fallon's ass.
Yeah? Well first of all, I’m honored. That kind of thing is always nice. I won 'Cutest Billboard' in San Francisco and that made for a good time driving through the city. I guess people have seen more of me than Jimmy so they know what they’re getting. I’m not sure there’s anything in 'Taxi' that would lead your readers to believe that Jimmy would be good in bed. Sadly, it’s true that I’m straight but I have to tell you, I am magnificent in the sack.

Nice. What else would you like to say to readers of MileHighGayGuy.com?
Friend me on myspace.com and also that I’m pushing Obama hard and I can’t begin to stress what the Supreme Court would look like after a McCain/Palin win. She actually belongs to a church that believes you can pray the gay out of people so a Barack Obama win is a moral imperative. It’s nice to have such a stark contrast in this election – if we don’t pull this off we’re boned. A McCain/Palin presidency would just be brutal. I'd hate to see all the work we've done for gay rights just get flushed down the crapper.

Hal Sparks is funny, will prove it at Comedy Works


Handsome Hal Sparks, most recognizable to readers of MileHighGayGuy as 'Queer as Folk's' Michael Novotny, will be coming to Comedy Works in Larimer Square on September 11 and 12. In addition to being an actor, musician and martial artist, Sparks is a talented stand-up comedian.

I did a fun interview with him for Out Front Colorado the last time he was in town a couple of years ago. Check it out after the jump.
