This Week’s “Guest Decider”: Giulia Rozzi
Giulia Rozzi is a NYC based comedian, actress, writer and overall awesome gal originally from Boston. Her very personal, blunt, and animated comedy has earned her the honor of being a Boston Comedy Festival finalist, one of The Frisky’s “Top 15 Comediennes You Should Be Laughing At” and two ECNY “Best Female Stand Up” nominations. She has appeared on MTV, VH1, Italian MTV, CNN, Jimmy Kimmel and recently co-starred in the independent film “Party Like It’s A Verb.” Every month Giulia and longtime friend Margot Leitman co-host the popular and highly acclaimed sex-themed storytelling show Stripped Stories at the UCB Theatre in NYC and annually in cities across the country. As a writer Giulia blogs for Lemondrop and Shoestring Magazine, she has written for MTV, Playgirl, NY Press, Lifetimetv, Gawker, The Huffington Post, and was a contributor and associated editor of the anthology “Mortified: Real Words, Real People, Real Pathetic.” This month she released her first comedy album “A Very Petty Name” (Live at Comix), which is available on iTunes or Amazon.

Auto Phone Sex
I first saw this video when Stuckey and Murray played it at Stripped Stories last year and it made me hard. I mean it made me laugh hard. I mean both. And just when I thought these two boys couldn’t get more awesome they start selling their infamous Fuxedo. Amazing!

The Message Board
by shap on August 26, 2010. [Smack,Web Shorts,Websites]
My video series The Message Board is where I bring web message boards (usually wedding ones, but I’ve been lurking on parenting, sports, even stripper sites!) and their many characters to life. Everything you see in the videos site is inspired by REAL message posts, they may not be word-for-word (hence the word inspired), but lots of them are pretty darn close. If you find message boards (again not just wedding boards, any message boards) that you’d like me to use in my next video please email me at themessageboardvideos@gmail.com
