Nerdologues Videos

We started by making sketch comedy on stage. Sometimes we film our make-em-ups.

The first single off the Nerdologues' album, releasing March 9 on this website!

In this darkly comedic musical, the true life of Danny Tanner and is family is exposed; promises will be broken, sinister paths explored, lives may be lost, and yes, songs will be sung. Whether you’re a member of the Full House fan club or scoff in a superior fashion when you hear someone utter “Cut It Out”; you will find both a touch of nostalgia and an illuminating light shining brightly on the Tanners’ most clandestine realities. Come see the Tanners as you’ve never seen them before. Attend the Tale.

Friend of the Nerdologues, Al Gore, has been getting into the Internet of Things. He recently bought an Internet Button and is using it to display the FiveThirtyEight election forecasts.

First time playing?  Need a refresher?  Just want to learn more?

Chris of the Nerdologues takes us on a walkthrough of a sample game of Fisticuffs!  He'll explaining all of the basic rules, including: how to Punch, Block, and Counter; and when to play Rushes, Parries, and Feints; and how to make both allies and enemies!

Best wishes to you and yours during this musical time of year!

Thanks to Jessica Kent for the makeup help.

A writer asks for help with a headline about millennials and gets more than he bargained for.

The Nerdologues will travel across Chicago to destroy the greatest evil the city has ever known. With nothing but their lackluster skills and hearts to guide them, the Nerds will venture to stop the evil Wrigley Wraiths as they try to reach the "dragon".
Wrigleyville creeps ever further south as the wraiths attempt to reunite with the one being that will return the Cubs to their former glory, and the city to its former evil.

Hey Jennifer Lawrence. Mike Jando from the Nerdologues here. Looks like you need a date to the Chicago premiere of X-Men. If that's a thing. I mean if it's not a thing we can just hang out and. I dunno. If you're going to be in the Chi town (that's what we call it here) then give me a ring on the ol' twitter, @mikejando. We can split some of that beer I found at the end of the video. 

 

The vast majority of Hogwarts students were not off having disruptive adventures. But they all read books!
Maybe not equally well.

Hi, I'm over here. Professor...scuse me...professor? 

Our friend Tim Dunn came over to talk about his podcast, The Nerdologues Presents Talking Games with Tim and Clayton. Tim and Joe also happen to play Dungeons and Dragons together.

What would YOU do if you won two hundred million dollars? It's purely a hypothetical question, of course, as it's highly unlikely you'd ever actually have such a vast amount of money in your possession. I mean, the odds are likelier that you'd become President of the United States than win the lottery. So... forget it. Sorry I even brought it up.
