PUEBLO, Colo. – Randall Chadwick is an author (“Dangerous Toys and Naughty Boys: Observations on Uranus and Other Crap”), is fairly new as a stand-up comedian, animal rescuer of three pets he considers children, holds a Ph.D., guides undergraduate students on their journey to obtaining their Ph.D., lacks in the field of athletics, currently single and is a well-rounded musician (countless instruments). His turn on include having marijuana and his turn off is not having marijuana. Also, he enjoys the following activities: blowing stuff up, sport shooting, hockey and the great outdoors of Colo.
On Jan. 28, Chadwick performed stand -up comedy for the first time. He remembered it being fun, how supportive the other comedians were and it was open to all comedians who wanted to participate. He had the urge to try it for the first time, after he saw a comedienne bomb on stage and she began to incorporate bird calls into her act. When he witnessed it, he came to the realization he would never be the worst comedian on the planet because she had copyrighted the title.
During Chadwick’s stand-up comedy routines, he shares a portion of his childhood. He speaks of gaining access to a variety of illegal toys from the 1970s. He also speaks of his father’s lack of parenting skills. He describes it as a mixture of “gleeful joy and waiting hours in the E.R.”
If Chadwick was to partake in a dream comedy roast with comedians from the past and present, he would love to be roasted by: Dave Chappelle, Dave Attell, George Carlin, Jeffrey Ross, Kevin Bennett and Patrick Butkovich.
When it comes to putting together a dream comedy tour, he hopes to someday share the stage with: Jim Gaffigan, Mike Birbiglia, Brian Regan and Dave Attell. Other than stand-up comedy, he anticipates to give sketch comedy a try. He strives to write for a show or a sitcom too.
In the next five years, Chadwick states he strives to be as good as Bennett. He wants to try comedy in markets around the country, specifically in the city of Kansas City, Mo. He chose the city because he owns a house there. He seeks to take advantage of the stage time presented to him at open mics throughout various markets. For the Pueblo, Colo.—he would love to see the comedy scene grow, become smarter and have a larger audience.
