SUPPORT A GOOD FRIEND OF CRINGE HUMOR: PAT DIXON
What kind of comedian is Pat Dixon? The misunderstood kind.
People sometimes mistake his hatred of women for misogyny, or his mistrust
of cripples as some sort of prejudice. People assume he's some sort of
sex-pervert atheist just because he loves internet porn and doesn't believe
in God. Well, those people can go fuck themselves, because he's actually a
pretty nice guy.
Pat Dixon has been seen often on tv, from his own half hour "Comedy
Central Presents" special and "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" to his
many appearances on E! Television, Headline News, Fox News, TBS and Vh1.
Pat has also been seen at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival as well as
Aspen.
He's also heard regularly on the radio in 130 markets as The Nation's
Only Unbiased Movie Critic, in which he reviews movies without seeing
them.
He lives and regularly works clubs in New York City.

OH YEAH, THE 2007 CRINGE HUMOR AWARDS!
By Patrick Milligan
11/10/08
I really don't know what happened with the CH Awards show. It was originally going to be part of the 2007 New York Comedy Festival. Carolines was going to help me out like they did the previous year, but they proceeded to bump me in favor of fucking JOHN PINETTE, after I had the majority of the show booked.
I know that doesn't seem like much of a huge deal, but I already had commitments from guys like Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, Rich Vos, and many other to show up & perform. The only other option I had was to move it to another day during the Festival, or to change the time to the late afternoon or midnight. The alternate date didn't work as half of the booked performers were out of town. I didn't feel like moving it to another time because my budget was stretched as it is, and I felt like we couldn't fill the place at an odd time. My asshole was still bleeding from all of the money I lost due to Lou Faranda talking me into moving the shows to Friday nights at Midnight the weeks leading up to the Awards Show.
10 reasons why Comedy is Music’s ugly half brother

By Josh Goguen
There's a sort of jealousy for me when it comes to comedy verses music. Even though the two are completely different, it’s difficult not to compare them. Music gets more leeway and so much more respect than comedy among the masses.
1. Women say they like a man with a sense of humor. So why do musicians have way more groupie sex than comedians?
story continues...Ode to Russell Crowe and The Bill Hicks Movie
By Dustin Chafin
I received a text from my frantic fiancé about 2 weeks ago that Russell Crowe was making a movie about Bill Hicks. She knows my “genuine” passion for Mr. Hicks. My gut turned with emptiness. I felt the same way when they were making the Johnny Cash movie. I remember back in my weed days, comedian Ben Bailey and I wanted to write the perfect Johnny Cash movie and then it got away from us. “Walk the Line” was made, Ben won an Emmy for driving a cab and I'm ranting on Cringe Humor about a movie that hasn't even been made yet.

A Midwesterner’s Open Letter To Jets Fans On Caring For Your New Brett Favre
By Adam Brown
Hello, Jets fans! My name is Adam Brown and I’m a lifelong resident of the Midwest. I’m writing you today because I heard some very exciting news that I want to touch base with you about. I heard you just got a shiny, brand spanking new Brett Favre!
I’m sure your decision to acquire your new Favre has left you with several different emotions. Perhaps you’re excited at the prospect of having a quarterback with a proven track record of winning the big games (ten or so years ago). Maybe you’re apprehensive at the thought of having to adjust to a new face around the stadium. Or maybe you’re just glad to see that injury machine of a quarterback Chad Pennington finally…jettisoned…from your team. See what I did there? JETtisoned. Hilarious!
4 Things You Should Never Say After a Comic Bombs
By Josh Goguen
In comedy, bombing is something that happens. Every comedian at one point or another has bombed, and if they say they never have, either they are lying or they don’t know what bombing is.
As an audience member, watching a comic bomb can be painful. You can see the person on stage is trying to poorly fake a happy face and plow through the material in hopes of having something connect. You can also see in their eyes the panic that can be going on inside as they rifle through file folders in their brain for that joke they used to tell that always worked that could save the set.
As the dying comedian starts to “uh...uh...”, imagine being inside their head as they think, “Did that new bit I’m working on that dig a hole? Is my timing off? Maybe the crowd is just tired.” There are so many factors that can affect a show that it can be difficult to tell why it’s all going down in flames.
After a set like this, you may feel the need to try to boost the morale of this person and give some words of encouragement. Bless you for that, but please avoid the following:
