Too busy to Twitter...
Howdy Everybody,
It's been a while since I've updated my site, Myspace and Facebook pages. I've been really busy with work, traveling and working on my upcoming metal album that I'm recording this summer. I apologize to anyone who's emailed me that I haven't answered back yet, trust me, eventually I will answer every email.
Everybody keeps telling me to join Twitter but it's hard enough to keep up with my Website, Facebook and Myspace Emails. If you see anyone on Twitter claiming to be me, it's not. I don't have a Twitter account nor do I plan to in the near future.
I have a lot of fun stuff coming up in the next few months. First off, this Saturday May 16th I'll be appearing at the bar Rhythm and Brews in Staten Island, New York. Come on out, have some delicious bar food and some drinks and hang with me! For info you can go to richardchristy.com & myspace.com/rhythmandbrews1674
Also, Sal and I are bringing the "Richard and Sal Show World Tour" to the beautiful state of California this Memorial Day! We'll be in Venice Beach, CA on Friday May 22nd; San Diego, CA Saturday May 23rd; and Sacramento, CA Sunday May 24th (The Night Before Memorial Day). For information about Venues and Tickets go to therichardandsalshow.com
And to wrap up the "Richard and Sal Show World Tour" for the spring and summer of 2009 we'll be coming to Atlanta, GA on Thursday June 4th and Friday June 5th. We've never performed in Atlanta and I can't wait! For info on this show you can also check therichardandsalshow.com
Sal and I will also be appearing at a cool concert festival called Bama Jam in Enterprise, AL on Saturday June 6th. We'll be hanging out with everybody and announcing some of the bands, it's gonna be a lot of fun!
I'll also be making an announcement soon about the metal album that I'm recording this summer. I've been playing guitar a ton in the last several years and for about the past two years I've been writing a lot of metal music which I'm really proud of and can't wait to get in the studio to record! I've been a metal head since I was 8 years old and I can't wait to get into the studio to pound on the drums and record some crushing new metal music!
Well, that's about it for now, take care everybody and I hope to see you out on the road somewhere soon!

For tickets and info go to killersofcomedy.com It's going to be awesome to be performing for my fellow Kansans and Midwesterners and I hope to see y'all there!
I've been hanging with my family in Kansas this week and I'm having a blast! We saw the Kansas City Royals win against Cleveland yesterday which was a lot of fun, I've been a big Royals fan since I was a kid and this was the first game of theirs I've seen live since their World Series winning season in 1985! I've also had more than my fair share of Taco Tico, Sonic, and Gates BBQ!
I'm very sorry to announce that the Cleveland Richard and Sal Show in May has unfortunately been canceled. I sincerely apologize to all of our Ohio fans and hopefully we'll be able to make it up to you very soon and come back to do an amazing show for our great Ohio fans.

Richard Christy's Film "Majestic Loincloth" Is Released! Tons of New Richard and Sal Comedy Show Dates!
 Hello Everybody, I have tons of news about more Richard and Sal Comedy Shows but first and foremost I’d like to announce that after many years of talk and speculation from the Hollywood community, my film Majestic Loincloth has finally been released! This is a film that I shot way back in 2002-2004 and needless to say, it is possibly the Manliest, most Sword Swinging, Headbanging, and all around Idiotic movie of all time! If you want a good laugh then you should definitely check it out! It is on Youtube.com in Two Parts. Here are the Links To Majestic Loincloth:
Majestic Loincloth Pt 1: YouTube.com/1
Majestic Loincloth Pt 2: YouTube.com/21
Something else that’s on Youtube.com right now that I’m extremely proud of is video of me introducing my favorite band Coheed and Cambria at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City! I want to sincerely thank the guys in Coheed and Cambria and their manager Blaze for allowing me to introduce them at the most famous arena in the world! It was such a rush! If you wanna check it out you can go here:
youtube.com/watch?v=Af7JUakme78
Coheed and Cambria, Slipknot and Trivium sounded amazing that night! I know members of all three bands so I was very proud to see all of them playing Madison Square Garden which is something every musician, including me, dreams of! I’m still hoping that one day I’ll be able to play drums there.
Speaking of music, I can’t give any specifics right now but I will be recording some of my own music very soon with some very special friends of mine! I’ve been writing an album for the last three years and I’m hoping to release it by the end of this year, it’s very brutal, melodic metal and I’m SOOOO psyched to get back into the studio! If you’d like a sample of some of the music I’ve written recently there’s a Youtube.com video of an instrumental that I wrote for my Howard TV drumming special that you can check out here: :youtube.com/watch?v=4LGB_Yc-Urg
You can also hear the song when you open my Myspace page at: Myspace.com/richardchristy69
Now for all of you Horror fans out there, myself and my work partner Sal “The Stockbroker” Governale are two characters in the new Horror Novel “Castaways” by my favorite writer Brian Keene! I’m a huge fan of Brian’s, he’s a brilliant writer and his novels scare the crap out of me! It is such an honor to be a part of one of his books! I’ve been reading Brian’s work for years now and it’s so surreal and awesome to read about me being stalked by bloodthirsty creatures on a deserted island! I’m about halfway through reading the book now and it’s amazing! If you know Sal and I from the Stern Show then you’ll get a kick out of some of the stuff written about us in this book! You can buy the book “Castaways” at all major bookstores and online and you can get more info about Brian Keene at http://www.briankeene.com.
I’m also psyched that a film that I was recently featured in “Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay” is now playing on Cinemax and Cinemax On Demand. The movie is hilarious and a lot of fun, get some friends together, grab some refreshments and be prepared to laugh your private parts off!
Now for info on the many upcoming Richard and Sal Shows! First off, two of the Connecticut Show dates have been switched:
The Stratford, CT show is now on March 7th and the Stamford show is now on March 21st.
We’ve also added several shows and appearances and we have a new website for The Richard and Sal Show which is: therichardandsalshow.net
I have to admit something right now, I love to drink beer and listen to country music! I grew up in Kansas and when I listen to George Strait, Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn it brings back great memories of growing up in the country. So I’m happy to say that myself and Sal Governale are appearing at Bama Jam, a concert featuring tons of Country and Rock bands including Alan Jackson, Kid Rock, and Brooks and Dunn! The Concert takes place in Enterprise, Alabama on June 4-6 and I’m so psyched to come hang out with fans, hear some great music, and introduce some of the bands! Sal and I will be appearing there all day Saturday June 6th! Come out and say hi and hang with me and Sal! For more info go to: bamajammusicfestival.com

Metallica, Coheed and Cambria, Cheech and Chong, Tons of New Richard and Sal Comedy Shows!
Hello fellow Metalheads and Friends! This past week was a crazy but fun one for me, I saw Metallica twice, saw Cheech and Chong, filmed Four Episodes of Inside the Porn Actor's Studio for Howard TV which will air exclusively on Howard TV in March and I'm preparing to see Coheed and Cambria, Slipknot and Trivium this Thursday and Saturday!
Metallica was amazing, I haven't seen them in about 18 years since the Black album tour and I was blown away. They played a different set both nights I saw them which was really cool because each night I was totally surprised and excited to hear what songs they would do, it was awesome to hear classics like Phantom Lord, Sanitarium and Harvester of Sorrow! I got to go backstage at Nassau Coliseum thanks to my buddy Phil Demmel from the amazing Metal band Machine Head who were crushing as the opening band for Metallica, as were The Sword. Backstage I got to see one of my alltime Metal heroes James Hetfield but I was way to nervous to say anything to him! I don't get starstruck too often but I was definitely freaking out in the presence of one of my heroes!
Cheech and Chong were great at Radio City Music Hall last Saturday. They did all the classic bits like Let's Make a Dope Deal and my favorite part of the show was when they did the song Mexican Americas from Cheech and Chong's Next Movie! I've known the words to that song since I was a little kid and it was awesome singing along to one of the funniest songs ever! Right now I'm getting pumped up to see my favorite band Coheed and Cambria this Thursday and Saturday along with Slipknot and Trivium! And yes I will be wearing my diaper to the show so I don't have to miss any songs for a bathroom break!
I want to thank all of the great people who came to see Sal Governale and myself along with Ian Gutoskie and Angelo at two sold out shows at Bonkerz in Orlando Florida. We had an awesome time and it's always fun to come back to Orlando, I chowed down on some delicious Tijuana Flats, Sonny's BBQ, Carrabba's and Publix Subs when I was there! Also, thank you to all the nice people at the TV show The Daily Buzz, we had a lot of fun doing the show.
Sal and I have a ton of comedy shows coming up! If we're not coming to a town near you in the next few months we'll definitely be near you soon because we're booking shows all over the country throughout the winter, spring and this summer. We'll even be coming out to the West Coast and throughout the Midwest soon too! Below are all of the shows we have booked for the next few months and we'll be adding new shows all the time so definitely check back here or at RichardChristy.com. Hope to see you all at one our shows!
Well, I hope to see all of you at one or our comedy shows or appearances coming up soon! Sal and I will be meeting and greeting all of the crowds after every comedy show so definitely come up say hi, take some pictures and have some laughs with us! Take Care and Hope to See Y'all Soon!

I also want to thank the great people at Rhythm & Brews Bar in Staten Island. I did an appearance there this past Saturday and had an absolute blast! The people who work there are so nice, the food is delicious, and the drinks are amazing! I had a Root Beer Float shot that was incredible! When you're in Staten Island you should definitely go there and check it out! Thank you also to everybody who came out to the bar to say hi to me and have drinks! I hope to be back there again sometime soon!

Happy New Year, Appearances & Comedy Shows Coming Up!
Happy New Year everybody! Hopefully it will be a good year for everybody. I started the New Year by drinking lots of Vodka and Champagne and playing Scattergories with Friends, it was a blast! I'm pretty bummed that the Holidays are over but I'm already starting to plan my Halloween adventures to keep my mind off of the fact that the Holiday season is over. I also want to thank everybody who came out to see Sal and I at the Northeast Motorcycle show this past weekend in Hartford, CT. We had a blast meeting fans and hanging out with all the Stern fans and Bikers! I'd like to thank the organizers of the event and also I'd like to thank Sickboy Motorcycles, they were in the booth next to us and they're really cool people who sell awesome clothing! You can check out their stuff at Sickboy.com
Sal and I are booking a lot more shows for this year so hopefully we'll be coming to a town near you soon! I'm also really psyched for a couple of killer Metal shows coming up in the New York area. I'm going to see Metallica on Long Island this month, which I can't wait for! I haven't seen them in about 16 years so I can't wait to see the Legends again! James Hetfield is one of my heroes and I'm always in awe of his talent, he's hands down one of the coolest humans to ever live in my opinion. Plus Machine Head and The Sword are opening up, two crushing Metal bands! I'm also super psyched for the Slipknot, Coheed and Cambria, and Trivium show coming up in February at MSG in New York City! My neck will definitely be sore after that one! If you see me in the beer line at MSG make sure you come up and say hi and I'll make sure to do a hearty Metal toast with you! I'm also going to see my comedy heroes Cheech and Chong at Radio City Music Hall at the end of this month! I'm going to watch every Cheech and Chong movie the day of the show; I can't wait to hear the song Mexican Americans live!!!!
Also, just a heads up, I'll be filming new episodes for my Howard TV show Inside The Porn Actors Studio soon and we'll be possibly looking for a studio audience here in New York City in late January so keep checking back here for more info.
Well, if you've made it this far reading my update I'd like to thank you for checking out my nonsense! I hope to see you at one of my comedy shows or appearances! Until next time, take care and have a Very Heavy Metal New Year!
