Support Danny Limor’s “Neutron City Comix #1” Kickstarter

Danny Limor doesn’t do stand-up very often any more, but he’s been putting all of his hilarious jokes into his webcomic, “Neutron City Comix.” He’d like to produce printed copies of his new epic ongoing, ALL-AGES meta-comedy comic book series, so he has launched a kickstarter for “Pencil Ink Presents: Neutron City Comix #1.” Take it away, Danny:

It is our privilege to announce to YOU, our Cadets, the launch of our 2nd flagship title:

neutron-02

The future of the comic book industry is to be found in the Young Readers section, and we’re proud to offer Neutron City Comix as an ongoing series inclusive to readers of ALL ages. While the cartoony style is appealing to children, the jokes are sophisticated, amusing even the most cynical of adults without alienating any younger readers.

Neutron City Comix is a project we have been working on for more than a decade. Originally envisioned as a cartoon for Yoni to animate as a college project, I came up with what was essentially a Clerks knock-off about a bunch of nerds hanging out in a comic book store. The idea wasn’t right but some of the characters were good. Those few characters were called back into action alongside a new cast of oddballs in what was going to be a comic book about Maxx, a kid who wins a contest to become the subject of a documentary-style reality show. Strike Two. The last time we saw the Neutron City Comix gang they were starring in an all-ages meta-comedy webcomic strip. It was a good strip. Very funny. It was enjoyed by AT LEAST a dozen people (verifiable FACT) but ultimately the strip format was a bit too claustrophobic for me. I’m not saying you can’t tell deep and compelling stories in the strip format, I’m just saying that I can’t. I felt the characters deserved to be the stars of their own comic book series and I’m not just saying that because I’m one of the aforementioned stars.

We wanted this comic to be something special so we went all out. We started with a veritable triple-threat: My comedic genius, my writings goodness, and my artistic mediocrity. Then Yoni took over and ILM’d the nertz out of it and now… Now it is, simply put, a comic book masterpiece the likes of which humanity has never seen before!!

neutron-04

Our plan is to have Neutron City Comix #1 printed and ready for distribution at comic book conventions across America by March of 2017. The comic is already finished and ready to go to the printer.

Neutron City Comix #1 is a 48 page, full-color prestige format (soft cover binding) comic book experience. A giant-sized story with some amazing bonus material. We have some of the finest names in all-ages comics contributing guest pin-ups. Check out this line-up of talent:

Chris Giarrusso (G-Man; Mini Marvels)

Kurt Wood Dot Com (Aw Yeah Comics!; Rumpuss)

Scoot McMahon (Aw Yeah Comics!; Spot On Adventure)

FRED HEMBECK (Fred Hembeck Destroys The Marvel Universe)

neutron-05

And for anyone pledging $25 or MORE, you’ll receive a special variant cover by Chris Schweizer (The Crogan Adventures; The Creeps)!!

We are also offering a VERY SPECIAL REWARD (also available as an add-on)

neutron-06

I know what you’re thinking. “Truly these and all the other bonus goodies you are offering must surely cost the fortunes of two kings?” It’s actually not that much. Our goal is to raise $5,000. Not chump change by any measure, but a fairly reasonable sum considering how much work went into this project and what the return will be for all involved in this Kickstarter campaign.

The $5,000 budget will facilitate the high-volume printing of issue #1, allowing us to get it into as many hands as possible this coming year as we head into the convention season. In addition, it will also cover the costs of bags and boards for the comics, the prints, buttons, and all the other incentives. (It also takes care of the Kickstarter/Stripe/Amazon 10% fee.)

Cadets, I have been in love with comics since I was 10 years old. It started with the likes of Sgt. Rock and G.I. Joe. Then I found the super heroes. Marvel and DC owned my teenage years. From there my interests expanded and I found that comic books could literally be about anything. But when I look at the current comics landscape it bothers me a little that many of the comics I loved reading as a child are no longer really suitable for children. Many of the super hero books that entertained Young Danny are now gritty, overly violent, and frankly inappropriate for children. Not to mention, they take themselves way too seriously for stories about people who can shoot laser beams from their eyes or dress up like bats because criminals are scaredy cats.

If all the comics grow up with you, what’s left to attract younger readers? Neutron City Comix, that’s what.

Nashville StandUp Announces Comedians Scheduled To Perform On World Record Breaking #BrokenRecordShow

Beginning at 5am on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, Nashville StandUp will attempt to top it’s own GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for “LONGEST STAND-UP COMEDY SHOW – MULTIPLE COMEDIANS” at The East Room in Nashville, TN.. by five minutes.

Nashville StandUp’s first “Broken Record Comedy Show” ran non-stop at The East Room in Nashville, Tennessee, beginning Sunday, April 12, 2015 at 12:04pm with DJ Buckley and ending Monday April 20 at 4:20am with Chad Riden, setting the new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title at 184 hours, 16 minutes. The show featured about 100 comedians, including surprise celebrity guest sets from Hannibal Buress, Eric Andre, Rory Scovel, Nate Bargatze, Luis J. Gomez, Keith Alberstadt, Jon Reep, Ahmed Ahmed and Killer Beaz.

The previous 80-hour record had been held by the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, CA, for a show which ran December 6-9, 2010. By more than doubling the previous record, #BrokenRecordShow’s non-stop stand up comedy marathon put Nashville into the record books of comedy history. A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title Adjudicator was on site to certify the attempt as an official world record on Wednesday April 15th at 8pm.. but the show continued until Monday, April 20th, at 4:20am. Hundreds of people attended the event and even more watched online. The successful attempt was covered by local and international media outlets, mentioned in countless social media posts and has already become a thing of legend.

#BrokenRecordShow vol. 2’s non-stop 8+ day schedule will feature showcases, feature-length, and headliner-length sets, and will include surprise drop-ins from comedians of various levels of fame and fortune AND infamy and misfortune. GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ rules say: “All performers must be of a proficient standard. We define this as the comedians having at least 20 professional (paid) credits in a comedy club, theatre or bar and at least one year’s experience since their first paid gig. Evidence to prove this must be presented to the independent witnesses prior to the event and the witnesses must attest to this in their written statements.”

The comedians currently scheduled to perform May 15-23 at The East Room as part of #BrokenRecordShow vol. 2 are: Ian Abramson, Ahmed Ahmed, Sarah Albritton, Nick Alexander, Chuck Anderson, Sammy Anzer, Emma Arnold, Mo Arora, Jeffrey Baldinger, Nate Bargatze, Brian Bates, Lila Mae Bear, Mark Bentley, Mary Jay Berger, Keith Bergman, Dj Buckley, Jamie Carbone, Josh Carter, Jesse Case, Cliff Cash, Andre Churchwell, Katrina Coleman, Ashley Corby, Wes Corwin, Joe Coughlin, Brian Covington, Jonathan Craig, Chris Crofton, Patrick Cunningham, Bryce Damuth, Billy Wayne Davis, Joe Derosa, Patrick Devine, David Dial, Dwayne Duke, Scott Eason, Brad Edwards, Ku Egenti, Benny Elbows, Max Fine, Gary Fletcher, Fray Forde, Megan Gailey, John Gibson, Kyle Gillis, Doug Gillon, Andrew Ginsburg, Carter Glascock, Derek Graff, Ross Hamilton, Michael Hampton, Jordan Hargis, Rob Haynes, Jake Head, Brad Hinderliter, Hannah Hogan, Stewart Huff, Brandon Ijames, Josh Inocalla, Jordan Jensen, Katherine Jessup, Myq Kaplan, Joe Kelley, Ryan King, Ben Kronberg, Josh Lewis, Danny Limor, Kristen Lundberg, Todd Masterson, Josh Mclane, Monty Mitchell, Narado Moore, Leslie Nash, Tim Northern, Tommy Oler, Sean Parrott, Alex Poloskey, Zach Pugh, Curtis Rambo, Jc Ratliff, Jon Reep, Mark Reilly, Chris Rex, Topher Riddle, Chad Riden, Hunter Roberts, Rik Roberts, Dave Ross, Dick Satori, Brad Sativa, Ben Sawyer, Brent Schmidt, Rory Scovel, Kate Sedgwick, Jim Seward, Bo Shuster, Tom Simmons, Dusty Slay, Jen O’neil Smith, Kate Spellman, Eric Steele, Owen Straw, Daniel Swinney, Geoff Tate, Matthew Tate, Sara Tiana, Kent Tucker, Josh Wagner, Patrick Wallace, Aaron Weber, Dan Whitehurst, Danny Whitson, Joel Wilson, Mike Winfield, Will Wininger, Josh Wolf, Pete Wolynec, Dave Yates and many surprise celebrity drop-ins, which will be announced on Nashville StandUp & #BrokenRecordShow’s social media accounts.

The brainchild of Nashville-based comic DJ Buckley, this record-breaking show is being co-produced by Nashville-based comedian Chad Riden, The East Room’s Ben Jones and comedian Mary Jay Berger.

“This show is the best thing I’ve ever done, and if it never stopped I’d be fine with it,” says D.J. Buckley. “Last year, I got to see a lot of funny comics and great people come together to work on something none of us could have accomplished by ourselves, and I think this year will be even better since we actually know what we’re doing this time.”

“It’s the greatest dumbest thing we’ve ever done twice,” Chad Riden smirks. “If you asked me that old guidance counselor question, ‘if you could do anything in the world, what would you rather be doing right now?’ the answer would always be ‘a stand-up comedy show.’ We figured out a way to be able to do comedy all day, every day and it was a dream come true. I’ve missed the first show ever since we ended it and I’m really excited to be doing it again. Maybe this time we just won’t ever stop. Nobody can ever beat our record if our show never ends.”

“Breaking our own record this year is an attempt to further show the legitimacy of the comics in Nashville,” says The East Room’s Ben Jones. “To break the record by a mere 5 minutes is to compete with the absurdity of last year’s successful attempt to more than double the previous record.”

Tickets are on sale now. One Day Passes are available for $10, All Access Passes, allowing comedy fans to come and go throughout the entire show all week long are available for $60. VIP Passes allowing fans access to reserved seating and include an official show t-shirt and letterpress show print are also available for $100.

Nashville StandUp is a 509(a)(2) Public Charity with a mission to cultivate and promote middle Tennessee’s growing stand up comedy scene by supporting the Nashville-based comedians that help make the Music City a great place to see live comedy.
