Well gang, I promised it was coming last Summer, and we’re just weeks away — I will be hosting my final edition of Super Art Fight on Saturday, March 28th, 2026 at our home base of The Ottobar, Baltimore, MD.
I’ve had the honor of my lifetime to serve as co-host for the event since our second show, way back in September 2008, and its allowed me to do things I never thought possible. Besides the hundreds of shows in front of literal thousands of fans at times, I got to see the country. I got to go to Canada. I got to sit in on so many conversations for really cool things that didn’t pan out, but I also be a part of a bunch of really cool shows with absolutely amazing people.
To be able to match my lifelong loves of pro wrestling, game shows and comedy, and be a key element — the voice of the fan, the voice of the new viewer — has been a privilege I do not take lightly, but its time.
Since we came back from the pandemic, a goal had been to build out our roster further — both with additional artistic talent, but for the first time, to find additional hosts to fill in for Ross or myself. Ross in particular, since he’s now the proud and very tired father of two amazing kids, but for me since…well…
…I didn’t want the show to remain static. An avid fan of ongoing staples like Saturday Night Live, I know that the best way for a show to continue is for it to change with the times, and I didn’t want to outlast my own.
Eighteen years is an amazing, completely unexpected run. And to be able to walk away on my own terms — while cheering on the sidelines — is a joy.
But there’s one more show to go for me, and we’re gonna blow it out.
What’s On Tap?
We’ve got a pretty massive card — as you can see by the awesome poster at the top of this post, which will be available in a high quality screen printed version.
We’ve got ourselves a Super Art Fight Championship Bout as The Jester battles our resident Kaiju and defending champion, Stompadon. We’re throwing it back with two returning teams, as The Bra’lers reunite to take on Team Spaceball. It’s going to be a stage covered in face paint and puppet fuzz, as Mike Donohue and Dietanium collide, and we’ve got long-term rivals Baron Von Sexyful and multi-sport athlete Steve Speed in a grudge match.
We’ve also got a musical performance from chiptune rockers Garbage Masher. This is a special addition for me, as the members of the band were also a part of Baltimore-area favorites Karmella’s Game and Avec, which were two of the bands which first embraced us and what we do.
And also, yeah, I’m wrapping up.
Tickets are on sale now, doors are gonna be 4, shows gonna be at 5 (special matinee show), and I would absolutely adore seeing you there.
Let’s have some fun together, one more time.
