Are You Ready To Laugh In August?

Zach recently did his first gig in the main room at Flappers in Burbank. He was pleasantly surprised to find a dozen teenagers and a table full of adults in the audience to support him that night. I think the only person not happy about the crowd was the headliners as he remarked a few times that the millennials in the crowd were not getting some of his jokes. He was a good sport about it but you could tell he didn't know what to make of the teenagers.

It was a good gig for Zach because he did a mix of new and old material. He has to write a lot of new material in the next few weeks because we just received his bookings for the Burbank Comedy Festival. Zach is performing three sets that week and he is one of the youngest performers booked for the event. The Festival receives hundreds of entries each year and one of the main goals of performing is to make it into one of the "Best of the Fest" shows on the final night of the Festival. Those shows are attended by comedy bookers across the country and serve as an industry showcase for the comedians that are part of the "best of" shows.



The performers are a mixture of household names, seasoned road comics and people trying to make a name in the comedy world. If you're in the Burbank area the week of August 14th, you can catch Zach during the following shows:

While he is preparing for his week of shows, he is still busy with auditions. He went straight to callback yesterday so keep thinking good thoughts for him for that one. He is busy enough between acting, auditions, improv and hanging with his friends that he always has new sources of material. His friends might not realize they are providing him with material but they will discover it when he is talking about their adventures during his shows.

I just realized I should keep my mouth shut for the next few weeks or I will end up being part of his set as well.  Shutting up now!

New photos of Zach are now on his IMDb page. Check them out when you have a moment.
