We had a great time last night in Nashville.  2 more shows tonight and 2 more shows tomorrow and 1 on Sunday.  It's great to be here in Tennessee and we had a blast hanging out with everyone after the show.

It's snowing here in Nashville today, and the news media is freaking out and acting like this is some kind of disaster.  I guess people aren't used to it, and probably don't have the right tires on their cars.  In Canada where I am from this is basically like a day at the beach.  Balmy.  :)

I'm excited to get out and hit the stage again tonight.  Things have been going great on the show and we are having a blast on the road.  The only thing that I wish is that I had jumped back into doing standup comedy full time like this a lot sooner.  

We will post some video from the show sometime today.  Thanks to everyone in the audience who came out to see the show. We had a blast, and hung out and took pictures and video with everyone after the show.  We do this at every show, and it's fun meeting all of you who are coming out.  If you shot some photos, please post them in the Forum here on The Channel.  And if you shot some video after the show, (not during) then post it on Youtube, and then use the Youtube Embed code to post the video here on the website in the forum.

This is going to be a great year gang!  Lets have a lot of fun.  And come meet us at a show.  Next week we will be in Houston, and then we keep on going!

Here are all our tour dates.  If you live near one of these shows, start planning a road trip and come see us!  Let's rock!!

Well we just had 5 amazing shows in Marco Island Florida. What a great time, and a big thanks to everybody at Captain Brian's, and everybody who came to the show.

I really can't explain exactly how happy I am to be jumping into this adventure. I have always dreamed of doing a world tour like this. It's been amazing to have the opportunity to get up onstage every night and do this show. It is evolving fast. We are writing and filming and performing on stage every day. The audiences have been amazing. Thanks so much to all of you who have come out to a show, and hung out afterwards for some web video and photo fun. It's been a great time. I am really enjoying the chance to get to meet you all.

So many cool creative crazy and cool people who are showing up to the shows. It is such a good feeling to meet you folks face to face, and to discuss all the silliness that we have produced over the years. I wouldn't be going on this tour if it wasn't for the people. It's nice to be hanging with real people, and keeping it real, real talk, good times. Man I really needed to get out of LA. Although I do like the weather, and I have many great friends in the city, sometimes you need to leave.

There is a whole big world out there that needs to be explored, and a whole bunch of amazing folks that we want to meet. It's awesome seeing how many of you out there get it, and enjoy what I do. If I never left the house I would never know you were there. So come see us on tour, and lets have some laughs. Shawn and I are having a great time onstage. Come see this show LIVE and you will definitely have a good time. The last few nights have been amazing and there has been just a ton of laughs. Thanks so much to all who have come to the shows, and celebrated this goofy world we live in. We all need to do that more often.

We are going to enjoy some fun in the sun today, and then back on the road to Louisville, Nashville, Houston and more. All across america, then in April we tour Australia, and then the world! Come see us and let's have some fun! www.tomgreen.com/tour Cheers gang!! Tom

Hey this was an amazing weekend again. We killed it in Atlanta and I really have to say it was amazing. So great to see everybody with their Freddy Got Fingered DVD's in hand!

With their Subway Monkey Hour DVD's!! And everything else I think I have ever recorded and put on disc. What a good time. We hung out after the show and made videos and goofed off with all of you awesome folks. I love Georgia ya'll! Please have a look at the video below and see a little bit of the fun. And come to the shows in Marco Island, Louisville, Nashville, Houston, and on and on! We are going to be on the road for at least the next few months. Come hang out with us, and have some fun. And remember to buy a T-shirt! ;) I wish I had done this years ago.

I have never done a world tour, and jumping into standup comedy is really the way to do it. And yes, it is going to be a true world tour. April we are off to Australia! Then Canada! And then hopefully some dates in the UK, Scandinavia, and more... Frankly, I am just going where the wind takes me. For the next few months we will be all over the USA! If you want to come to a show just click on the banner on the front page that says World Tour. Or just go to www.tomgreen.com/tour.

This is happening now! Come see me while we are on the road. Who knows when we will be back, or if we will ever be able to do this again. So come see us now!! Atlanta Georgia, you rock! Thanks Tom Green

Secret Stand-Up with Tom Green

MySpace Secret Stand-Up | MySpace Video

January 09, 2010

Well I have to say this is very exciting.  I have 2 more shows tonight (Saturday) and Thursday and Fridays shows were sold out and the audiences were going wild!!

I am so happy I have decided to finally jump into the world of stand up comedy and do this tour.  Not only has it been amazing meeting people.  But it has been the most exciting thing I have ever embarked on.  Everybody in the audience knows all the old bits dating back to cable TV.  I do a few jokes about The Slutmobile, and Freddy Got Fingered.  Everyone has been responding in a big way and we have been having great shows!

Edmonton Canada is a very freezing place at this time of year.  The good news is we are staying in a hotel, that is in the largest shopping mall in the world.  The club is in the same mall.  So I literally haven't had to go outside since I got here 3 days ago.  It's been interesting.  I kind of feel like I am Pauly Shore in his movie Bio Dome.  It's awesome.

This mall is outrageous.  It has a zoo.  It has a theme park with roller coasters.  It has a water park with submarines!  It has an artificial beach with giant wave machine.  It has a hockey rink.  All inside the mall.  Pretty amazing.  If you want to check it out online you can Google the West Edmonton Mall.

I'm going to go out into the mall today before my show and shoot some more video of all this crazy stuff.  If you like shopping malls, then this is the shopping mall for you!  :)

Anyway gang.  I just wanted to check in and let you all know that things are going AMAZING!  Far better than I could have ever imagined.  The audiences have been laughing really hard.  In fact, it has been pandemonium.  I'm having the time of my life and my only regret is that I didn't do this years ago.

If you want to have a good time, make sure you check out all my tour dates and come to a show.  It has been outrageous.

Let's Go!!

December 31, 2009

This is actually happening right now. We are going to go on the road. My friend Sean is going to be coming along for the ride, filming everything, and posting new videos every day. This is going to be really fun. Here is the big idea.

I am going to make The Channel here for the hub of all the behind the scenes excitement that goes down on a down and dirty comedy tour. I am hitting the road with my pal Sean and we are coming to your town. It's gonna be fun, interesting, and probably often times ridiculous. :) I want you all to spread the word that starting January, once we get things rolling, there will be tons of updates here at The Channel every day. You know how we go in cycles around here. :)

Basically every few months we hit it hard at The Channel, and this is going to be one of those times. So get ready to come to The Channel everyday, visit this Blog, and follow along with the tour. And of course come to see us when we get to your town! Also, do me a favor? Tell everyone! I would love for all of you Channel watchers to take on the task of promoting these shows in your towns. Bring everyone. Send out the word on Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter and let me know what you got going on. I am online a lot these days, and we can interact along the way. I want to make this a highly interactive tour, that you will all be able to watch unfold in the video updates. Lets merge video-heads with the people who just type. :)

I want to document this crazy online experience. Let's all meet up around the country and have some fun! We will tape some videos together after the shows! And remember, I will not be posting any of my performance on these videos. You won't be able to see that online. So come hang out with me LIVE!! It's gonna be crazy. Tom

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. Let's enjoy some time off with our family and friends. This is going to be a great New Year! Happy 2010 just around the corner! You guys and gals all rock and I thank you so much for spending time with us here at Tomgreen.com over the past few years. Stay tuned! We are just getting started!! Happy Holidays!

Can you believe it is nearly 2010? It was just under 10 years ago that MTV picked up my crazy public access show, moved me to the USA, and changed my life forever. Before that, (unless you are from Ottawa, Canada) most of you reading this had probably never heard of me. What a ten years it has been. Wow. I don't really want to spend a whole lot of time dwelling on the past. But I can say that the last decade has been full of ups and downs for me personally. What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. I know this now.

I have beat cancer. I was hospitalized and nearly killed by a giant wave. I was married and divorced. Yes, there have been a few problems. But all of these things have given me a pretty unique perspective on life, and I think are going to lead me towards an exciting future. And no, I am not complaining. The good has far outweighed the bad. Shit, I got to host The David Letterman Show, Saturday Night Live, and was on the cover of Rolling Stone. That is pretty much a wrap. So I am going to keep pushing forward.

This is going to be a very exciting year, kicking off a very exciting decade. So let's celebrate. Just in the past few years we have built this amazing new web TV show, and Channel. I want to thank all of you who have been along for the ride. It has been a bumpy road at times, but exciting. We have created so much crazy TV here, at such a fast pace, that most of you probably haven't had a chance to see a fraction. We are entering a new era in the electronic media. And I am excited to say, that together, we have created something here that is very much at the forefront. If you are new to this website, look at the hundreds and hundreds of hours of ridiculous TV, interviews, videos and more. There is definitely something happening. And things are about to pop. I have been doing this a long time. I can feel it.

If anything positive comes out of this website, I would like it to be this. I want to encourage all of you to follow your dreams. I hope to set a good example. You can come here and watch me following mine. It isn't always instant. Things don't happen over night. But I do think you will see, that if you stick at it, and keep your head above water, eventually you can achieve any goal. Just never quit. This year I want to come to see all of you. I want to talk with all of you, in person, about exactly this. Things are never easy, but hopefully if you approach your life with a healthy sense of humor, you can overcome obstacles in your path.

I have found myself in very dark places. I have been saddened and afraid after my dealings with illness, and success, and failure. But the one thing I have learned over this past decade is this. People are strange. We live in a strange world, and strange times indeed. And the best way to navigate through all of it, is to stay positive. Negativity really only brings you and your plans down. Nobody gives a damn about your problems. So stop complaining, put a smile on your face, and go out and make something happen! This is exactly what I plan to do. I am so excited about diving back into the world of stand-up comedy. It has been a life long dream of mine to do this. And finally, I have the time, and a very good reason to pull the trigger and go go go. It is all in support of this Channel.

It seems that the mainstream Hollywood system doesn't leap at the chance to help independent media. (Fact is, they don't want this to work!) So I am taking the promotion and marketing of this idea into my own hands. I am going to travel the world and promote my crazy show. The craziest show in the history of TV. Right here on Tomgreen.com - No rules, no corporate interference, and an honesty that you cannot find anywhere on the boob tube. If there is anything I care about most, it is remaining true to myself.

This is the promise I will make to all of you. What you see on this website is a genuine expression that is unfiltered by the gate keepers that control most of what you see on TV. Help support The Channel. Go sign up for a subscription membership. Buy a T-shirt as a holiday gift for your family and friends. It is easy to sign up or buy merchandise here. We have never had a complaint, and T-shirts are shipped immediately. You will receive them in a matter of days. Your purchase will keep this idea alive. And in the new year, come see me perform when I come to your state, city, province, country, or town.

This will help promote this crazy show, this crazy Channel, and keep my independent media dream alive. If this idea succeeds, then others will follow. And that will be good for all of us who don't want to eat the fare we get force fed daily. Fight the power. Happy Holidays to Everyone. And Have a Very Happy New Year. I love you guys.

Sincerely,

Tom Green
