Serving Up 2015 Realness

Hey friends, comrades, and 4-legged beasts of all kinds! HAPPY 2015!

We're hitting the ground running over here and I'm so excited for what we've got planned this month! (And every time I say "we" I mean me and my cat.)

First off, January 2015 marks 6 YEARS OF SIDESHOW GOSHKO! Holy moly, how did that happen?!

We'll be celebrating our 6 year anniversary on Thursday, January 29th, 7pm at KGB Bar. Always FREE, always at a Soviet Bar. We have an all-star lineup featuring:

Andy Christie (host The Liar Show, Peabody Award-winning Moth Radio Hour)

Catie Lazarus (host Employee of the Month, The New York Times)

Martin Dockery (“Outstanding Solo Performer” – NY Innovative Theater Awards, Edinburgh Fringe Festival)

Also, this month, I'm excited to be playing synths for the debut album release for band Susan Jane on Sunday, January 25th, 7pm at the Delancey. The show is FREE and you can RSVP HERE!

And a HUGE thanks to The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts! They were very gracious and individually edited our stories from Story League Presents: PRESENTS. My story is now featured on the Kennedy Center's Youtube Page! Huge thanks to Scott Shrake, The Story League, and the Kennedy Center. Such an amazing night.

And in the midst of all this, I'll be turning another year older this month! I personally believe I have the best birth date on the planet because I share it with Janis Joplin and Dolly Parton. Not bad company to be in ;)

Happy 2015, everyone! And hope to catch you at a show!

Cheers!

Drunk Kitt-ehs! NEW HUFFPO!

Are there any limits as to what I won't make into a cat video? At this point, no. I will literally take any and all of your submitted cat photos and combine them with my favorite things. In this particular case, it's adorable cats and alcohol. You're welcome.

"Cats Getting Drunk to 'Blame It (On the Alcohol)' Is the Only Rehab You'll Need Today"

Cats Raging to "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne is the Only Catharsis You'll Need Today -- NEW HUFFPO!

Well, looks like this is turning into a series. Here for the second installment of ridiculous cat videos is "Cats Raging to 'Crazy Train' by Ozzy Osbourne is the Only Catharsis You'll Need Today."

And FYI--if you wanna see YOUR adorable fur ball on the Huffington Post, shoot me your email address. I'll be sending out submission emails looking for your cat pics!

"Cats Relaxing to 'Take It Easy' by the Eagles is the Only Therapy You'll Need Today"

Apparently, this is the kind of stuff my brain comes up with while I'm home sick. A big "thank you" to all my friends who submitted photos of their furry loved ones. They're all stahs in my book.

And a huge thanks for all the likes and shares! We're still sittin' pretty on the front page of Huffington Post Comedy. 

So here it is: CATS RELAXING TO 'TAKE IT EASY' BY THE EAGLES IS THE ONLY THERAPY YOU'LL NEED TODAY
