Hi there.

So I made an informercial for my new special SORRY (available here on my website)

Making an informercial for a standup special was a really weird thing to do but it was very fun and I (and others) think it came out funny and sometimes disturbing.

The infomercial is airing nationally for the first time tonight at 2am on IFC. (if it’s too late, you can dvr it.)

If you have cable TV you can watch it on IFC at 2 AM local time wherever you are. But if you have directTV or dish Then it will be on at 2 AM Eastern standard time for you. So 11pm on the West Coast. Etc.

Also it will air on ifc again the following next two Thursdays at the same hour

And yes I’ll throw it up on YouTube at some point but I ahve no idea when I’ll around to it. I’m on tour in Europe and I almost forgot to send this email.

Europe has cobble stones and the words are all different except the stop signs mostly say “stop.”

Thank you.
