Christmas Eve Show and a Comedic New Year

I recently finished a tour playing guitar with Italian singer Gerardo Balestrieri all over California.  We had a great time playing his music (which i highly recommend checking out) and staying with the friends we’ve made all over the state.  Years of touring for Fishtank Ensemble have finally paid off in that we have friends with jacuzzis all over the state that love hanging out and partying with a gypsy band.  And for this we are very grateful.  You too can bring the band home with you, just get a jacuzzi, come to one of our shows and come talk to us after the show!

Anyway, Fishtank Ensemble has one more show for 2009!  It’s a 5 minute spot in the ‘Holiday Celebration‘ at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Christmas Eve.  Djordje is even flying back from Serbia just for this show, then going right back for 2 more weeks.  The show will be live on PBS and streaming on the web on KCET.

In even bigger news, January 1 & 2 the ‘Doug and Josh Comedy Explosion‘ will be headlining a weekend of comedy shows at the illustrious Downtown Comedy Club.  We are extremely excited about this and are preparing a show that you will never forget. These shows will essentially launch our stand up comedy career.  If you’re an old friend and have been telling me for years that you have to come out to see a show, and you never have (almost everybody i know), now is the time.

And finally, here is the 2nd installment of our sketch comedy series ‘Male Companions‘.
