SEPTEMBER update from Aaron KLEIB-IZZLE!

I'm officially changing my name to something that "pops" - I've already sent numerous emails to Snoop Dogg for his creative consulting services regarding this matter. Suggestions please...

Anywho...

AUGUST was busy! Finished filming the short film, "Micah" - I will be producing & have been developing a 1930's gangster drama called "The Damned" with writer/producer, Robyne Parrish - I played a Detective in "One for the Money" with Katherine Heigl & John Leguizamo - was on the set of "Abduction" and caught football with Taylor Lautner (and kissed him on the neck just so I could say I did...sike.) - editing is in progress for "What's It Like in California?" - helping manage a SWEET vintage store, Iron City Vintage, for my comedian friend, John Evans (you may have heard him co-hosting the WDVE Morning Show), come check it out, 8th & Amity in HOMESTEAD - had dinner with Bobcat Goldwaithe...I know...what? Awesome month.

ALSO - Wendy, my wife, is due with our second child on September 29th - please pray for her, myself & our little girl Beka. It'll be a hectic time - it's why I only have a couple booked shows this month.

One year Anniversary of my first stand-up show!

Yesterday, July 28th, marked my one year anniversary of my first PAID stand-up gig! Well, I made $6 - it bought me 2 beers. It was at the PITTSBURGH CAFE with my good friend, DAVON MAGWOOD, met him on the set of Warrior (he was a ringside photographer). That night I also met my friend, Matt Light, awesome young comic.

I can't forget my man, FRANK NICOTERO for putting me on for my first time at The Corner Cafe on December 28th, 2008 - thanks.

WOW. Long way from July 28th 2009. The jokes I did that night have evolved so much - I did these - Fat Jesus, Spiders, Roller Coaster, Buffalo Bills, Trendy Sandwich, MIddle School, Party Bus, High Heels, Circle of Porn. So weird how they changed & even the names changed. If you don't know what any of them mean, get to a show, I still do a couple of them but they're way different.

In a year, I have done 66 sets of comedy! That doesn't include alot of open mics. Lots of Pittsburgh comics helped me get spots - I thank them all (I will personally...and if I forget someone, it's embarressing). BUT I will thank, TERRY JONES, BILLY CRAWFORD, & MIKE WYSOCKI.

In this year I've been able to work with great headliners like, Juston McKinney, DeRay Davis, Josh Sneed, Jim Krenn & Billy Gardell.


Let's see what the next year brings. Word.
