Actually, I ended up celebrating 4 days straight. I got to see Patton Oswalt, who performed standup the weekend before my b-day. Hilarious stuff. I effing love that man.
The comedian who opened up for Oswalt was great too. He writes for The Onion and he did a bit where he read his rejected Onion headlines. They were freaking hilarious, and I can't see why they were rejected. Some of them were a bit controversial or over-the-top, but that just made them funnier.
Really wish I could remember the headlines, but I can't. I think there was one about Palestinians and Israelis, but that's as far as my memory serves.
Yes. He was also in two episodes of Dollhouse and the movie Big Fan, which you should definitely see.
If you haven't seen his comedy, go on youtube and google him and watch some clips. He has CDs and DVDs and you should check one of those out. He does some great bits on politics and religion.

My favorite routine of his is his Sky Cake bit.

He is one very talented (and very funny) guy! I'll watch more of his stuff after that.
Sadly, I've never seen Dollhouse so I haven't seen him in that.
