The Homeless Comic Experiment

WELCOME TO HOMLESSCOMIC.COM. This is just the introduction page. CLICK HERE FOR THE FUNNY If you like my blog you can subscribe to it at the bottom of this page!

My name is Brian Neufang. I am the Homeless Comic. I’m not homeless in the skid row sense but homeless in the Jack Kerouac, Dharma Bum, On The Road sense. In September 2007 I pretty much sold everything I owned, moved into my car and started traveling the country performing my brand of stand up comedy in exchange for food and shelter. I created this experiment as a way to live my life and career through a paradigm of service, to combine the two most important things in my life right now, DO comedy and BE of service to mankind. I know that isn’t really funny but this isn’t supposed to be. It does get funnier though, trust me!

This clip is a bit outdated now, BUT this is the joke that started it all…

THIS IS MY EXPERIMENT: Combine comedy and charity as the foundation for my career. Live like a gypsy until I either develop enough skill and experience to make a living, create an underground artistic movement, or end up homeless for real or die trying. Jump off the cliff without a net and see if God really loves me.

(PART 1)
So if you watched the video (it will make more sense if you do) I’m looking for people to “adopt” me like you would adopt a homeless pet. I WILL “WORK” FOR FOOD (get it?)! And by “work” I mean I will do a set for you at your house! Throw a party, invite your friends, family, co-workers, whoever you want! Well, except for the kids, DON’T invite the kids… I don’t juggle or have puppets and I say fuck sometimes.

I want to meet and interact with people that are interested in doing shit just a little bit differently. Maybe you have something you are passionate about but are to afraid to pursue it, well GOOD NEWS! I probably have enough balls for the both of us! Comedians starting out don’t make shit, usually less money than it takes to get to a gig and back. That is where you can help :) ADOPT ME! Then tell your friends to adopt me! Word of mouth beats a cardboard sign any day in terms of advertising effectiveness.

(PART 2)
In my opinion it is not worth having everything you want if you can’t reciprocate. I hope to create a couple of things with this, again, I’m not sure how to (yet) I just know I will. OH and just because I put this on the internet, YOU CANNOT STEAL MY IDEA’S!! THIS SHIT IS COPYRITTEN!! 1.) I want to create a comedy tour sponsored by HONDA and call it “The Comic Element Tour”. Encourage people to find the “Comic Element” in their life, or maybe in life in general. I think laughter is a good way to bring people together and bring an awareness about problems we face. I want to build a career on that foundation. 2.) I want to create a company that puts on comedy shows to raise money for non-profit organizations, call it “Stand up for Something” Stand up comedy for social change, Or Bad Comedy for a Good Cause. Not “bad” as in shitty comedy “bad” as in you can’t say that on television Doug Stanhope type comedy.

SEE! It’s a win-win situation! People get help, I don’t die of starvation and you can be enlightened and entertained. A live comedy show, right in your living room, office, garage, street corner, bedroom, wherever… You can be a part of building a comedy legacy. Maybe you’ll even be inspired to do something you love to do. Unless you love cannibalism, don’t do that!

Book the Homeless Comic today! I promise I’m not a total freak. I’m just a kid with dream and I’ll try not smell like piss.
