John Mayer Thinks He's Funny
Though he's got chops (dude held his own with Herbie Hancock at last year's Bonnaroo), John Mayer writes songs that are a little too sappy for my taste. However, I give him props for funny. If you've seen John on Chapelle's Show and VH1's John Mayer Has A TV Show or even read his Esquire columns, you know.
Now he's trying stand up.
Best Week Ever reveals that Mr. Your Body Is A Wonderland will drop by The Comedy Cellar in NY at 11 tonight.
Can someone go and tell us if he bombs? Apiary?
I wonder if he does impressions.
UPDATE: Posted on MayerSpace:
I am not doing stand up tonight.
Someone got very excited when I said "I'll call you tomorrow."
I won't ever get on stage at a comedy club when people know about it.
Quite simply, I can't defend it. Don't want to, either.
Just want to attack a new learning curve, and a different form of observation. I like sucking at something I love. Keeps it honest.
This is some Rosie O. haiku shit, huh.
Signing off

John also had a surprise appearance on the Ron and Fez show on XM Satellite Radio today. He world premiered his new single and told a funny story about buying and redocorating a $2 million Manhattan apartment from afar. His agent sent him photos and he okayed everything. Once he moved in, he said it looked like a museum - everything was perfect and none of it was personal. He grew bored of it soon and said all he wanted to do was stare out the telescope and masturbate.

Yes, John Mayer has chops, but he should do an impression of himself! Rolling his gigantic bubble gum tongue around, and also accepting his Grammy all like "Yeah, guys, it's about time, cya."

John on Ron and Fez was confusing, but yet mildly humorous.

For a guy who makes such crummy music, he really does seem like a pretty cool cat, and is a fine guitar player. He nailed a Hendrix song during some benefit.
