Before half of these guys get greedy and sign with other teams, let's pause for a moment! This is a cool thing.

I used to tape all the covers of SI to my wall at home as a kid (my mom hated this). I thought it was a neat thing seeing all those covers on the wall.

This one is going on my refridge.

WADE FAN OF THE WEEK:

WADE'S SHOW SCHEDULE

SLOW BLOG:
There are few things I'd like to post on my blog but it is very slow today /so is the internet.
This all makes me sad. But I will be patient and post my stuff later.

Until Then... be as you were.

Here is a scene showing me be brave and tough etc!

(Mike Perog plays my RA - residence assistant)

I met Wade Boggs at the NH Baseball Dinner when I was in 1st Grade.

He signed an autograph for me and I said... "My name is Adam Wade."

He looked at me and said..."You parents should have named you WADE WADE."


Then I said... "You can hit a baseball good, but you... suck at jokes."

He responded, "I eat chicken for every meal."

(End of conversation)

reality sucks

After my last 'PENGUIN' SHOW... these 8 ladies asked to have a photo with the big Star himself (me).

Not bad.

THE LADIES LOVE WADE!

(now I can look at this post every time I am depressed)

This doesn't seem right to me?

I want to thank my fans who came to see me last night at the FARSIDE. I handled the 2 hecklers pretty good.

I want to apologize to my fans for my boring long winded banter about my upcoming high school reunion.

ESPN The Magazine

Sometimes George Steinbrenner does his own negotiating, and on Tuesday, ESPN has learned, he met face-to-face in Tampa with the most prominent free agent pitcher on the market -- Pedro Martinez, who, to date, has not accepted a two-year, $27.5 million offer from the Boston Red Sox.

WADE'S TAKE ON THE SITUATION:
Let him go! He doesn't deserve a penny more than Curt S.

We'll see how long this prima donna can handle NYC!

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

BIG NIGHT LAST NIGHT:
Yes, I cooked myself dinner.
I made chicken, rice, and brocoli.

Here is how the whole thing started.

Gotta get that rice going!

I was so excited I started jumping up and down while talking this photo.

What's cooking, good looking?

Here you are, the most blurry photo possible of my MAGNUM OPUS!

Chicken, brocoli and rice a la WADE!

WADE'S PICK FOR MLB AMERICAN LEAGUE MVP:

(cough)

"Where's the treadmill and the babes at the gym? I got my WADE shirt and the jumpsuit I bought on eBay. I'm ready to walk the walk."

(chewing a cookie)

"This is a fat free cookie. I am ready to go! Burn baby, burn!"

BIG 'PENGUIN' SHOW LAST NIGHT!

Yes, it was a big crowd and a great crowd!
Thanks for all the support.

DID BARRY FROM NBC SPORTS SHOW UP?
Yes, and he sat in the second row. Along with many of NBC SPORTS' finest. I couldn't believe how nervous I was.
Barry told me he had a good time (and he's a tough critic).

(His favorite part of the show... the 'WINNEBAGO SONG').


MANY FEMALES AT THE SHOW! (NO JOKE! - PHOTO COMING SOON!)

Yep. In case you didn't notice this site no longer has a 'BENNY HILL FRIDAYS.' (after three mediocre weeks)

"It just didn't work. Nobody got it." - ADAM WADE

So now...

"We're gonna have Norman Fell Saturdays.
It still doesn't make sense but... I will work on a reason why we've added the great (and underrated) Norman Fell soon." - ADAM WADE

Yep, I'm working hard today at NBC SPORTS! We have ND Football on right now.

Barry is here today. He is coming to my show tonight at Juvie Hall. I have never felt so much pressure in my entire life.

What is this photo? It is a black WADE shirt, with black lettering... framed in the office of my boss Kevin (NO JOKE). He was the person who hired me at 'TC with CQ' (and a few jobs before that) and took care of me. Thanks Kevin...

(and Jessica, Jeremy, Renee and Melissa)

(and of course T- O- DD!)

I've worked the past two years for Colin Quinn on his Comedy Central Show 'Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn'. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. My production co-workers, the executive producers, the researchers, the producers and aps, the director, the line producer, the audience people, the entire studio crew, the craft service folks, the securityguards right on down the line... THE BEST OF THE BEST.

It was an honor to work with all these great people.

WEDNESDAYS AT JUVIE HALL

By Lionel Beehner

WEDNESDAYS AT JUVIE HALL A new theater has emerged in a basement on Bond Street. Juvie Hall, from the founder of Above Kleptomania, showcases an eclectic and experimental cast of sketch comedians. The theater is less a bunch of juvenile delinquents as its name suggests than a group of upstart performers with serious talent. Improv maestro Armando Diaz coaches from behind the scenes.

Wednesday nights feature an excellent combo of two one-man shows. First up is Penguin, a show by Adam Wade, a bespectacled 29-year-old with a New Hampshire accent and a confidence deficiency who chronicles his high school years through song and short monologues. He rhapsodizes and reminisces about failed romances, secret crushes and Winnebagos ("The world is an oyster? Fuck you, it's a Winnebago!"). His high school nickname was "Penguin Boy" (pronounced "pain-goowin boy"), hence the show's title. Anyone who's ever felt insecure or insignificant growing up will appreciate the show. Just don't expect his singing voice to move you to tears.

Keeping with the same theme, Rich Zeroth follows with Swollen Head, a multimedia slide-show, PowerPoint presentation and reality tv show wrapped into one. The show opens with a real-life taped recording of Zeroth as a fifth-grader who fakes his own encephalitis and misses 129 consecutive days of school. Goateed and clad in a red Michael Jordan t-shirt, Zeroth provides hilarious commentary over a slide show of grainy pictures of him and his humble Minnesotan family. "I had inadvertently made myself sick," he says of his ordeal. "Malnourished and dehydrated, I spent three days hooked up to an IV and had to use a bedpan." The show concludes with his telling the family many years later that he was never sick and it was all a prank (which he films by secret camera from their living room). The segment is so candid and real, it's hysterically funny (his sister and parents argue over who clogged the toilet with "poop").

Shrunken Head and Penguin are funny by not trying to be funny. There's no over-the-top humor or straight-up joke-telling. It's like listening to two average guys at a bar recount their funny memories from childhood. Pull up and have a seat�you'll enjoy what you hear.

Juvie Hall may emerge as one of the city's premier comedy venues, given its easy-going atmosphere, intimate stage and convenient location, (the space recalls UCB's humbler digs on 22nd St.). The lobby walls are painted bright purple and the waiting area consists of a collection of Salvation Army furniture (added bonus: a shower stall in the bathroom). The stage area is encased in black walls with a portrait of German playwright Bertolt Brecht clutching a cigar hanging from the wall, smiling at the audience.

JUVIE HALL/Gene Frankel Theater,
24 Bond St. (betw. Bowery & Lafayette Ave.), 212-868-4444; 8, $7.

Volume 17, Issue 45

Here I am enjoying the best meatball hoagie in showbiz!

HOW TO MAKE NEW YORK GIRLS REALIZE THEY WOULD RATHER BE WITH ADAM WADE

By Adam Wade
Part 6: My Ten Favorite Places For a Date.

Note from Editor: Adam Wade's email inbox has been filled with notes from women wanting to get to know him ever since he started writing this strangely and widely popular column. He wanted to make this installment of his regular column a list of ten places that he would enjoy going on a date. After several weeks of internal meetings and debate with our shareholders, it's been decided that only four of the locales will be published here at the moment. All of us stuck behind closed doors in catered meetings and video-conferenced brain storming sessions agreed in the end that it is important Adam maintain a certain degree of his mystique...sixty percent of it, to be exact. On the other hand, Adam cracks pretty easily under pressure, and it you want to know the other six, chances are he would surrender them the moment you use the link at the bottom of this page to email him. And so, ladies, here you see forty percent of the man. It is more of a glimpse than most are ever given.�

Yep, donuts. I don't intend to ever eat another donut again.

G'bye donuts.

I've loved you, but now you mean NOTHING TO ME!

BIG SUNDAY DINNER LEAVES WADE 'VERY' GAS-Y:

I got out of work last and my phone rang it was


Sir Walter
and he wanted me to join him and

Cousin John

for dinner at BA HA in HOBOKEN.

I had the steak and beans and rice... whoa. It was delicious but the gas is killing me.


Thanks Walter.
