Morning Debriefing 4/17/12

1) IFC might have switched from being the Independent Film Channel to the Independent Funny Channel as they now are co-producing a live comedy show in NYC with BAMcafe.

April 25, 9pm at BAM FREE BAM and IFC join forces to present Get It Out There: Comedy by BAM & IFC, a new comedy showcase that allows comics to experiment recklessly with humor while causing only minimal harm to themselves and others. Each event features a handful of emerging comics testing out fresh material and probing the depths of their twisted souls for new forms of funny. Featuring Wyatt Cenac Hosted by Jared Logan with Mike Lawrence Damien Lemon Giula Rozzi  Let’s do this.

2) It was only a matter of time before we could get a box set of the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron that includes video of a live WTF taping and that time is now
