Comedians,
Hello Dante here. I am starting up a line of Stand-up comic trading cards. About year
ago I was watch CNN and someone started PEOPLE CARDS. These were trading cards
of regular people. People at the gas pump, eating a burger, at the mall, on the computer.
They sold like hot cakes. Being a trading card collector I was hit with the idea of
comedian cards. This is not only a great promotional item but also a way for comedians to
make extra money selling them at their shows or on their websites. I called around to
many trading card manufacturers and finally found one that could do everything I wanted
for a low enough price. Each comedian has to pay for their own. I will handle all of the
work and mailing. The more comedians that sign up the better. If we get 100 signed up,
we will get more for our money as explained below. Below is all the info.
The cost to each comic- Is $100.
Each comedian gets- 100 of their own trading cards (This would normally cost $65.00
for 100 cards from this company-These can be used as business cards or could be sold
autographed at your shows for $5.00 each.) and you also get 10 complete sets with
everyone in them. These can be sold for $20- $30 each at your shows. So your investment
is paid back and you make a profit. You can buy more sets from me for $10. Also if we
have more people signed up than the original 30 I was quoted on, then the price will come
down and we can get more cards made and everyone will get more.
How it will promote you- You can put any promotional material on the back of the
cards. (websites, bio, credits, agent) These will be sold by all the comedians in the set all
over the country. Plus I will be starting a website for the cards that will tell a bit about
each comedian as well. And hopefully getting them into stores soon. I’d Like to get them
into THE LAUGHER STORE in Sherman Oaks.
If you are interested, here is what I need.... $100 cash or money order only ASAP. Don’t
send checks because I don’t want to cash anything until I know we have at least 30 people
signed up. Otherwise we will have to wait and I’ll be sending everyone their money back.
I need you to give me or mail me a picture in color or black and white, and all the
information below filled out and sent in. My address is 20023 Archwood St., Winnetka,
Ca 91306. I am not a scam artist and everyone knows me, so your money is safe. The cut
off date is June 21st. For more info go to www.zepruderfilms.com or call Dante
818-635-7910. As of May 25th there are 10 well known comedians signed up. And about
20 others showing interest.

I actually had a similar idea myself, where I could get comedians to pay me an extortionate amount of money to purchase loads of those pens where the bottom half (or top, if you think about it) has an image that changes as you move its position in the light. However, instead of it being a naked lady when you turn it, it's actually a lady with YOUR face covering her bare titties.

Guaranteed to both delight and slightly irritate the person you give it to. Then subsequently leave them strangely aroused, and forced to run to the nearest dark corner and give Mr Parsons a few off-the-cuff pumps.

However, it all fell apart because the idea isn't funny.

he has a comedy/life partner (http://www.zepruderfilms.com/pages/902233/index.htm) that looks like a mix of paul f. tompkins, andrew dice clay, and downs syndrome.

I love the quote from Daily Variety:

"The next Jim Carrey or Steve Martin!"

And he also does comedy classes!

"Welcome to comedy school! I'd like to go around the room and shake your hands before we get started."

*BZZZZT*

"Hahaha! That one gets them every time. You've just been taught your first lesson... IN COMEDY!"

Either this guy is a genius, or the worst thing to happen to mankind since God.

"This event, CINA, creating a fund for down-on-their-luck comics, was the brainchild of Dante, and he deserves a standing ovation. Not only is his humor totally world-class and real-world at the same time, but his heart is as big as it gets."

That's bullshit if you ask me, "make me laugh and I'll give you a shiny penny!"

adam christing (http://outreachcomedy.com/adamchristing.html) NEEDS to have his own card. according to his biography on the christian comic website, he's a comic illusionist. i guess that means he portrays the illusion of being funny without ever actually achieving it.


adam, you rock.

The only funny "clean" comedian in existence is Brian Regan. Please don't tell me I'm alone in liking that guy.

That other fag looks like a bleach-blond approximation of Danny Gans.
