Exciting news you guys - tickets for my show in the 2013 NZ International Comedy Festival are now on sale.
This means that you can look forward to a crap-ton of naked self-promotion from me over the weeks and months to come. LUCKY YOU.
The new show is called “Songs for my infant daughter”. That is also a pretty good summary of the show. However if you are not my infant daughter (and if you’re reading this, you either aren’t her or you shouldn’t be using the computer) then I think you might like it anyway.
To get access to the presale, head along to the Comedy Festival website and sign up for their newsletter or whatever it is they want you to do.
Last night’s show totally sold out, which was pretty exciting. Tonight’s show is the last one I’m doing this festival - if you’re keen to come along, then it might pay to book.
Tonight's Late Laughs at the San Francisco Bathhouse has sold out again, but my show is conveniently just down the road.
Well, tonight’s the night you’ve all been waiting for/dreading: opening night of “Jarrod Baker sings the Worst Songs of the 90s”. If you come along you might get to meet my mum and dad (try not to heckle me too much).
Recap: it’s at the Fringe Bar on Cuba Street at 10pm. Tickets are $15 + booking fee. I’ll be the guy on stage butchering some songs that were awful in the first place. It will be fun.
And here it is: the worst song of the 90s, as voted by Rolling Stone’s readers. It’s Aqua’s Barbie Girl, and while it’s certainly a shitter, I think there’s possibly more going on here that they’re given credit for (as with I’m Too Sexy).
Still probably not fit for human consumption however. And a close reading of the lyrics would suggest that it shouldn’t ever be played within earshot of children.
Thanks everyone who voted (or nominated, or both) a 90s song for me to sing as part of “Jarrod Baker sings the Worst Songs of the 90s”. Voting has now closed - and the winner will be revealed live on stage during the show (i.e. when I sing it).
