I like to perform. A current arm injury prevents me from driving, so most of my jokes are shared with my cat Pinky. Which sucks because he doesn’t laugh. But I should be back on the scene soon doing stand-up and shows and junk like that, and this is where you will be able to read about it.

In the meantime, here is a poorly formatted list of past shows I’ve done, which only goes up to July of last year. Incidentally, that is about when my career “took off” so a lot of my “big-time” gigs aren’t listed. But my downtime will allow me to update it soon, so watch out, bored America.

Kitchen Sink Magazine’s third issue had a stalker theme and we were commissioned to make a video on that subject. In addition to playing the video, select LUBO representatives dressed up as stalkers and “stalked” the crowd (with sIlLiNeSS!) who were there to see LUBO pals and fashion collective Oaktown Stitchdown strut their wears. Music was provided by Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu and DJ Kitty.

Opening for Neal Pollack I
Pegasus Books, Berkeley
April 24th, 2003
In 2003, Jamie started corresponding with famed literary satirist Neal Pollack. It resulted in a fantastic interview for lunchboxing, as well as an opportunity to open up for him at his book signing/reading in Berkeley that year. I came up with a few jokes, and proceeded to play some absolutely silly songs for the crowd.
