About this site

Hey. I’m Matt Ruby (matt@mruby.com) and this is Sandpaper Suit, my comedy blog. About me: I'm a standup comic in NYC. You may have seen me telling jokes on MTV, in Time Out NY, or at comedy venues around the country. Mark Normand and I cohost "We're All Friends Here," the comedy chat show with boundary issues (also available as a podcast). For a list of upcoming gigs, check my MySpace page. What's here: At this blog, I post 1) funny stuff — jokes, videos, etc. and 2) not funny stuff about the art of standup. For more funny videos, check out my top videos playlist at YouTube. More: Mruby.com tells you everything else about Matt Ruby that you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask.

Jerry Orbach eyes

Venue: Stand Up NY
Date: 4/23/07
Length: 6 minutes
Crowd: 11 people

Here's a look at the, ahem, glamorous world of standup. This is what it's like to do a set in front of the remaining 11 people who have sat through 3 hours of comedy on a Monday night. By then, they looked like extras from a scene in "Children of Men."
