New Year’s Kiss is the final short film of the 2009 monthly short project I did. I finished!!! The 12 films are compiled into a longer 30 minute short film called Random Chapters in the Life of Some Guy. This is being submitted to film festivals internationally.
So what do I do with myself now that I’m finished? Maybe make a feature film every month? …we’ll see.
Thanks for watching!

Thursday – Sit N Spin – This is an amazing evening of personal monologues from some of LA’s best writers. It’s held at the Comedy Central Stage at the Hudson Theater and is filmed for Comedy Central. The show is always packed and there are usually very recognizable people participating in the evening. I will simply be the musical guest, playing a song before and after the stories. This show is completely free, but you will have to rsvp by calling 323 960-5519 to reserve a seat. 6539 Santa Monica Blvd, Hollywood 90038.
Friday – House Of Blues – I was invited back to perform in the Voodoo Lounge at 8:00. I’ll do a half hour of mostly music. They have a nice happy hour back there between 5-7 with half price parking and appetizers, as well as $1 drafts and $3 wine and drink specials. Meet me there at six! The show is $10 – but it’s the House of Blues! 8430 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood 90069
Saturday – Gemini Manor – Honestly, I don’t know what the hell this is. The website looks cool though. It’s a Hollywood landmark, apparently. It does sound like a fun night. It’s a private party, but open to you – for the $5 donation. There will be food and drink. There’s only six comics doing 10 minutes each. I’ll probably leave the guitar at home and just tell some jokes. 1341 N Mariposa Ave, half block south of Sunset.
So come out and have some fun with me. I never get out and I rarely play. Don’t miss this opportunity!

I’ll be performing in the front lounge this time. And I’ve worked Vows into the show. Maybe some of the others. Come see what happens, because I don’t even know what will…

Encounter-Culture.com asked me to put together a little Strings of Comedy night for their pre-launch event. This is a lifestyle events website designed for 20s and 30s. Should be a fun night. Entertainment, food, & drink all provided at 9pm tonight at 3450 Cahuenga Blvd, C203, LA, 90068. Come on – what could be better? How about:
Alison Block (AlisonBlock.com) is a stand-up comic with a guitar or a musician with a sense of humor. Her “sophisticatedly raunchy” songs mix the wild and witty with the feminine tenderness found in themes about gay ex-boyfriends and male gynecologists.
Eric Schwartz (EricSchwartz.com) tours the country regularly and is a favorite at folk music festivals everywhere because he is an amazing musician with a killer wit and stunning sense of humor. You will be pleasantly surprised, shocked, and dazzled. His song “Clinton Got A Blowjob” just won the International Songwriting Competition’s Comedy/Novelty category.
And me – Chris Valenti – His songs, films, and jokes about foiled romantic opportunities and neurotic misadventures, vent the painfully funny universal suffering we all endure. His live show is part music, part comedy, and part cinema. (He shows a new film at every M Bar show.) A hopeful romantic with a twisted sense of humor, Chris uses blunt honesty, vulnerability, and self-deprecation to write comedy about the frustrations of life and attempted relationships.
