Hi. My Name is A-Hole.
Bio
Blaine Reeder is a comedian that had a childhood. He has pants and a haircut. He was not "all that" when it was funky fresh and is even less so today unless he isn't.
On animals, Blaine notes: "There is a nearly one-to-one correlation between the people who can't control the breeding of their pets and the people who can't control the breeding of themselves. I say we spay those people."
Blaine says many things that many people think are not as funny as many other things that have been said by other people who say funny things. This is one of them. The pants fit so he wears them!
About My Act
I do honest comedy. It's not always nice but, then, the world is not a nice place. If you are the type of person who accepts popular opinion as your feelings, my comedy might not be for you. I would, however, really enjoy testing your "feelings" so please come see me.
Here's the type of material you WON'T find in my normal act:
- Graphically sexual
- Body fluid humor
- The differences between STEREOTYPE and OTHER STEREOTYPE
- Shock for shock's sake (at least not the stupid variety)
- Cringe
- Agreement
Here's the type of material you WILL find in my normal act:
- Satire and sarcasm
- I'm an idiot
- You're an idiot
- Work
- Truth
- Paranoia, Pettiness and Fear
I'm not a jackass. I don't fall down. I'm not a rainbow and a kiss from a child. When I was younger, I was taught to read and I actually do that. I find a lot of things in the world very upsetting. Some of them make me want to kill myself.
Clean or Dirty?
I'm not a particularly dirty comic. I worked clean for three years and then stopped. I can still do that if I need to.
I don't believe in excessively dropping F-bombs and hiding behind the "Free Speech" excuse. I drop F-bombs when I feel they are necessary and appropriate to the room. I think this separates me from those comics who use the F-word for the sole reason of using the F-word.
A lot of those comics are stupid and lazy and suck as a result. If I just offended you, I did it without swearing and you are probably one of those comics.
That being said, some of my favorite comics are filthy and I totally support the idea that any comic should be able to say whatever he or she wants to on stage.
What it really boils down to for me is this: if it's funny, nobody cares that it's dirty.
My material is not necessarily all-ages appropriate but I've worked PG-16 rooms and didn't get any complaints. I guess you could say that my material is "edgy." Whatever that means.
I have a point of view and I use the word "whore" a lot. I'm sorry for that but I won't apologize.
