HEY - MORE COMEDY.

the vacation in new hampshire.

These kids ...

The Vermont Comedy Tour. And...it's OVER

Well, it was a first - and a fine first it was - We started in Waitsfield (where the bartender Jerry bet me he was older than me - I won) ---then on to Positive Pie in Montpelier - ...then I took a short night off to perform for the incoming freshman at UVM (special, special night - call me - it's worth it--) and then back onto the tour ---- to the fine Richmond On the Rise Bakery -- we then ended the tour last night at a teenytiney venue entitled 1/2 Lounge in Burlington --- It was fun - it was funny and...it's time for a break ---

comedy on SUNDAY EVENING

Monkey House - Sunday (this). I'll be trying out some new material in preparation for my upcoming solo show(Sept. 12 - Flynnspace) so --

TURN OFF that incredibly pompous ANDY ROONEY on 60 minutes and drive over to Winooski - parking abounds!

See you if you make it. M.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE

hello there - 

Tickets for my upcoming solo show,

MARTHA TORMEY: Don't Encourage Her

are now on sale at the FlynnCenter box office.  

check the link above for all the info. 

as cynical as I am on any given day, I am, as well, utterly optimistic

that the show will sell out. so, yes, if it were ME, I'd buy my ticket(s) NOW. But that's just me. Utterly optimistic me.

LA was very nice.

it seems that the diet cola I've been consuming has been strictly for women. 

hmm. no wonder I feel so feminine. 

VPR loves to Chat

Oh, the Green Mountain Comedy Festival went very well, thanks for asking. We were sold out at the Flynnspace --- such a swell room --- and prior to that, Kathleen Kanz and I sat down to have a little chat with Jane Lindholm of VPR's Vermont Edition.....you can hear it -- IN IT'S ENTIRETY - 

(my dad said, "it went on and on!")  but he was in his car in the driveway listening - as he believes home radios are a thing of the past. 

Green Mountain Comedy Festival

Yes, It's finally Arrived! The first Annual 

Green Mountain Comedy Festival 

It's a BIG NIGHT of standup comedy - with.... Nathan Hartswick, Josie Leavitt, Peirre (the Beast) Vachon, Tracie Spencer, John Lyons, 

Dustin Bruley, Lindsay Going,  Mike Robideau, and ME, Martha Tormey.....The show is the brilliant brainchild of KATHLEEN KANZ, a fine comic and producer from the Montpelier Region. Kathleen's produced shows at The Black Door Bistro, The Monkey House in Winooski, and has a great eye for new (and old) comics. The Festival will take place on Saturday, May 16th at the Flynnspace in Burlington. 

Don't be a 

drip

Vermont Comedy Divas - For Spring!

We're performing at HIGHER GROUND on Saturday, May 9th, 2009.  We are: Mary Ann Gatos, Josie Leavitt, Sally Stevens, and me.  So get your tickets now - because, yes, sadly, and wonderfully (all at once) it WILL sell out. Call me up if you want something "special" - like a reserved row, or free drinks, or a woman to sell you carnations half-way through.

I'll be performing here this Sunday with a few of my closest friends.

I'm performing next Tuesday at Burlington's Flynnspace

San FRANCISCO

I'm hanging out on pier 14.

SAN FRANCISCO

SO. We're taking a little vacation - and I'll be performing at a little club they call HARVEY'S - as in Harvey Milk - catch you when the leaves drop...

Eli's psyched about THE MARTHA TORMEY EXPERIENCE

He's busy that night, though - with some blessed 'play date'. Rotten kid. Cute, but rotten. If you've got a PLAY DATE this SATURDAY (23rd) and want to shake it up a bit - take them to my show - 8:30 at the Black Door Bistro, in Montpelier.

SUMMER EXPLODES

another photo shoot

Jane and I broke the law (I know, AGAIN) and drove her car down onto the bikepath to haul the equipment necessary to have a successful photo shoot for ... for ... publicity. The results were mixed. For some reason, I thought the "wet look" had come back and poured water from an old coke bottle on my head every 5 minutes. Other than that, I had my typical 4-minute makeup routine going on (I love LASH BLAST). Jane thought that putting my makeup on in the car AND changing my shirt on the railroad tracks were two events that really could've happened in the privacy of our home but she and I just don't always see things the same way. Here are a few of the results. My 14 year old niece Sophie had the Jonas Brothers scanned onto her cake--- (Ok, I had Shaws scan them onto her cake) and although she liked the results, if only I had had these pix for that fine birthday event......alas.
