Shit is getting weird on Twitter so I have logged into Tumblr. I am going to try to use this site for a little bit and see what happens.

Delta Farce. For fans of...Sci-Fi? I must say, this is the only time I have been curious about the content of “Delta Farce”. Also, if this came out today it would be the biggest comedy released all year. Trashworld.

My new album, Despair II: Social Justice Warlord is out right now on iTunes and Amazon. If you like comedy that will make you feel good about feeling bad about feeling good when things are bad, this is the album for you! Also, my partner and I will name our first born child after you if you review it on iTunes.

COWABUNGA! Limited edition merch alert. So stoked to finally share these. These are the DESPAIR II prints I will have for sale in Fargo. These are incredibly limited, hand-pulled, six color, Serigraph Variable screen prints (paper size 15x20, image size 9x12). I will have five of each available to the public throughout my shows this month, and I might be doing and IG drawing for people who post reviews of the album on iTunes. Original Illustration by @bivensjohn, colors and printing by @jcharlescox in Fergus Falls. Haven’t settled on a price yet, but I will have at least two of each colorway, maybe three, available in Fargo (Comedy in the Cellar at Front Street Taproom Friday Sept 7th and Saturday the 8th), and then the remainders will be sold at Sisyphus Brewing (September 14th). Finally, whatever is list will be up in my online shop after we move to LA. #standupcomedy #minneapoliscomedy #screenprinting #screenprint https://www.instagram.com/p/BnT3OIkFywW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cfumth1h0t2e

This album represents most of my writing in the Twin Cities and the tale end of the work I did in Fargo.

In addition to the below dates, I am in the process of booking a going away show in mid September, where I will hopefully have very limited prints, so more news on that when I have it. Also, I don’t really know when I’ll be back, I might not get back to headline anywhere again around here until 2019, so come out and say see ya later.

Hey, CoreCON X! This is the stuff I’m bringing to sling you this week! This is the first time I have 7” copies of “Egghead” (for a mere $10 and they include a download code for an extended cut of the show)! I will also be bringing Despair enamel pins, some of the last Keshi Despair figures I will have for sale for a while, including some super rare colors I found in a box when we moved (as always, these include a download code for “Can We Afford This Much Despair?”, good ‘ol CDs and the VERY LAST FEW MOORHEAD FARGO T-SHIRTS (not pictured, limited to small and XXL, maybe one XXXL). Stop by and say hi in the vendor room, or catch one of the many rad shows or panels I am performing on. I love CoreCON and I am stoked to be heading back! #coreconx #coreconfargo #fargocorecon

Years ago I did a bit about Cadbury Creme eggs. Every Easter since, I have added to this snowball of love for Cadbury Creme Eggs until the cup ran over and we had to record it.

Today, Stand Up! Records and I have released Egghead, a 20 minute, B&W, stand up micro special on demand via Vimeo! We recorded this at Boy Kisses Comedy at Universe Games in Minneapolis on Easter Sunday. The amazing folks at Stand Up! Records captured and mastered the audio and Ian Rans recorded and edited the video. The soundtrack includes music by Mark Mallman, and the title card features an illustration by Josh Trumbo.

We have a vinyl release planned in the future, but in the meantime, feast on the 20 minutes of B&W HD video that is, EGGHEAD!

Here’s the trailer for Egghead! It will be available at midnight tonight (CST) for $4.99 I’m Vimeo from myself and the good folks at Stand Up! Records.

This Tuesday, March 27th, I am releasing my micro-special, “Egghead”. Egghead is a 19 minute, B&W, sugar-fueled tribute to my obsession with Cadbury Creme Eggs. It was shot by Ian Rans, produced by Stand Up! Records, with art by Josh Trumbo and music from Mark Mallman. It was shot at Boy Kisses Comedy (Universe Games), Easter Sunday 2017. The video will be available on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/standuprecords/vod_pages on Tuesday for $4.99.

NYE V.I.P COMEDY SHOW AT USHER’S HOUSE IN MOORHEAD!!!

From the Desk of Adam Ordahl Quesnell:

Hello everyone!

If you haven't grabbed your tickets for one of these shows on NYE yet, you totally should. I don't know if you've ever attended a party, or a reading or anything like that, in the basement of Usher's House, but it's a great little venue for an intimate performance. Barring a miracle, these 40 or so minute co-headline sets will likely be my last shows doing more than a short set in the Fargo/Moorhead area until Fall 2017 when I'm locking in the material for my next full-length. If you came to see me feature at level 2 a few weeks ago, I will be doing material on these shows I didn't do then (I will likely be running the material for an EP I will be recording in April). I did comedy on New Years Eve in Moorhead three years in a row (2012-2014) and it was great, and I miss it dearly.

We are trying to bring back the tradition of quality comedy on NYE in the F/M area and we're starting with these two intimate shows co-headlined by Fargo Comedy staples, JD Provorse and myself (yeah that's right I'm calling myself a staple!) and featuring guest sets from a couple of funny up and comers (Marlin Wells on the early show and Mik Throntveit on the late show, oh yeah, MIK'S BACK).

Do you hate clicking on event links for some reason? WELL HERE'S ALL THE INFO!

Where: The Bottom of Usher's House in Moorhead, MN

CO-HEADLINERS: ADAM QUESNELL AND JD PROVORSE

Saturday, Dec 31st (NYE, DUH)

7:30pm (Special Guest - Marlin Wells) $30 per ticket and that price includes a chef-selected hors d'oeuvres buffet featuring grilled pork shanks, barbecue meatballs, and spinach-artichoke dip with garlic crostini, and there is a cash bar in the room.

10pm (Special Guest Mik THrontviet) show is $20 (NOT $30!). No buffet, but your first drink from the bar is on us! There may be a limited of tickets available at the door, but it's NYE, BABY! Splurge and grab your ticket online to guarantee a seat at the big kid's table for the funniest thing happening on Dec 31st in Moorhead!

At midnight last night someone got serious and ordered all these Despairs! Supply is limited in the shop! My few OG Despairs I have left at the moment are $20. faqcomedy.bigcartel.com! After the Holidays @standuprecords and I are going to take stock and I'll probably do a drop of some of the OG colors we have left with pins, Purple/Green marbled Down-Low editions and maybe something else. What are we going to do to top this? What rad group of artists are going to help us with it? I can't wait to figure that shit out.

[faqrulesyou]

I've got something cool that I'm going to be doing in April 2017... Also, come see me at these shows! Tickets for New Year's Eve at Usher's are on Brown Paper Tickets (two shows 7:30 and 10:00, dinner included in ticket price). Go to RoyalComedy.com for tickets to the Hopkins shows (Thursday, 8pm, Friday and Saturday at 9:00). Comedycornerground.com will get you to those tickets (Friday 8:00, Saturday 8:00 and 10:30), and @boy_kisses_comedy is free as ever at 7:30 at Universe Games on Lake. Hit me up if you want me to tell jokes somewhere! I need all the local-ish stage time I can get between now and Easter Sunday.
