One of my goals for 2011 was to perform at least 100 times. I was able to meet and surpass that goal, finishing with 119 total performances.

Here are some stats regarding the performances:

• 57% of shows were long-form improv, 42% were short-form improv and 1% were stand-up.
• 39% of the total shows were at the Magnet, representing 75% of my long-form shows.
• May was my least productive month (5 shows); June and August were tied for the most (14 shows each). The average was 9.9 per month and 2.2 per week.

And finally, a show breakdown by team:

• ComedySportz - 56
• Mint Condition - 14
• Front Page - 9
• Class Shows (Magnet / UCB) - 8
• Grappler - 7
• The Danboys - 7
• Easy, Tiger - 7
• Other - 11

One of my goals for 2011 was to have at least 50 new experiences here in NYC. They could be restaurants, bars, performances or an activity.

I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, so I didn’t just stop at 50, but made it all the way to 101. The full list of experiences, complete with ratings and one-line reviews, can be found here.

1. Park Here. Indoor Park. Really cool idea, sadly only temporary.
2. Pio Pio. Peruvian Restaurant. Incredible Chicken.
3. Night Court. Judicial System. Very unique, interesting reflection on society.
4. Book of Mormon. Broadway Musical. Incredible show, hilarious, even standing room only seats are great (and cheap).
5. Sleep No More. Interactive Theater. Incredible experience and very unique. I want to go back.
6. Down & Derby Disco. Roller Skating. Awesomely good time. $5 entry, $5 skates. Only happens once every few months in the basement of a hotel.
7. HanGawi. Vegetarian Restaurant. Very cool ambiance, delicious korean vegetarian, more expensive.
8. TV on the Radio. Concert. The venue (Williamsburg Park) was pretty cool and the band solid, but pretty expensive.
9. Meatball Shop. Meatball Restaurant. Quite delicious, a new favorite. Tried all of the sliders.
10. Cafe Lalo. Restaurant / Desserts. Amazing dessert place, a little expensive but quiet delicious.

I finished the year with 1,549 tweets all time, with around 300 tweets coming this year. Of those 300-ish tweets, here are my favorites from 2011.

Best One-Liners

1. Cereal for dinner? Life is good.
2. A guy asked me if I wanted some free fish. I asked, “What’s the catch?”
3. If you’re having router problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a switch ain’t one.
4. I want to open a pizza place called “Evil.” On the pizza box it would say “Delivered us from Evil.”
5. Mirror mirror, on the wall. Dresser dresser, on the floor. Light light, on the ceiling. Room room, checklist complete.

Best Observations

1. How do you congratulate the guy who operates the ball on New Year’s Eve? “Way to drop the ball there, Gary.”
2. I think I would drink more smoothies if they were called fruitshakes.
3. The biggest failure of the English language is that the word “palindrome” isn’t one. I propose changing it to “palinilap.”
4. Don’t get me wrong, I love football, but it’d be more exciting if the team names were literal. I’d watch giants play against cowboys.
5. When something is due by COB (“Close of Business”), I think we all agree it really means SONWD (“Start of Next Work Day”).

Best Stories

1. Got a massage at work today. Masseuse said it’s appropriate my name is Drew because I’m more than tense, I’m past tense.
2. The Reds won today! Non-sports fans: do not panic, this has nothing to do with Communism in America.
3. Today is Saturday, so I went for a jog, Da Drew Run Run Run, Da Drew Run Run.
4. Taught improv to a college class today. I think that moves me from amateur fessor to professor.
5. Thanks to being sore from rock climbing, 2 of my co-workers now think I’m weird because they found me stretching in a huddle room.
