MIT Media Lab Hosting Comedy Hack Day, A Comedy App Competition

When we say that comedy is an incredibly burgeoning art form, there are so many examples of that happening such as Cultivated Wit‘s Comedy Hack Day, a competition for app developers and comedians to come up with funny ways to pass the time on your mobile devices.

In fact, the venerable MIT is hosting the event and Baratunde Thurston was the emcee as well as W. Kamau Bell being a judge of the last edition in case if you’re curious how legitimate the event is.

Also, if you’re interested, you can currently enter the next Comedy Hack Day happening this September.

There’s a Network Bidding War Over Second Tina Fey Co-Produced Project

It must not be a shock to anyone that Tina Fey was going to rest on the many laurels gained from 30 Rock after the series ended, but it’s amazing that she just sold a series to NBC with Robert Carlock, and now, has several networks interested another project all in one week.

We’re really looking forward to see what comes of all of this during pilot season.

Comedy Central’s Finding Their Next Album Release From “Up Next” Contest Winner

In an intriguing move for their stand-up, Comedy Central is holding a contest called “Up Next” in which they will give their winner a digital comedy album recording, a college tour spot, a guest DJ slot on their Sirius XM channel, $2500, a spot on a Comedy Central stand-up series, and more. The contest is to be held exclusively at Comedy Central certified comedy clubs around the country starting next month (find participating locations and dates here).

We’re curious to see how this plays out and if a diamond in the rough is truly found from this. Also, we’ll keep you updated if there’s an entrance fee.

Nerdmelt Showroom Expands To Have Nerdist School to Teach Comedy, Animation, Writing, and More

The live venue run by Nerdist Industries, The Nerdmelt Showroom, is further legitimizing itself from the numerous accolades and achievements it has gotten from being the site of the some best comedy shows in LA to seeing its flagship show, Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, become a Comedy Central series to now having a school. Joining in the ranks of some of the more established venues in town like the Upright Citizens Brigade, there will soon be classes, for improv, sketch, writing, animation, storytelling, and more.

It was the next logical step for them to take after getting working A/C for being a venue in the back of a comic book store.

In fact, was anyone timing how long since all the way from when 30 Rock’s series finale ended to now? Whatever that comes out to, it was probably too long.

Everything Is Festival at Cinefamily Will Mostly Be Livestreamed

Many of you, for many reasons, won’t be able to attend what looks to be an amazing Everything Is Festival that’s already under way. You don’t have the dough to go or perhaps you don’t live anywhere near LA, etc.

Well, luckily, Cinefamily’s live streaming a lot of the festival, especially the live portions including Comic Relief Zero w/Tony Clifton, Comedy Bang! Bang! The Musical, Fox ADHD’s Pizza Party, Show and Tell with Maria Bamford, Mondo Public Access, and more.

So check the schedule for shows and times to watch because you don’t want to recreate what happened by just reading tweets about it.

Dais for Comedy Central’s Roast of James Franco Has Jeff Ross, Nick Kroll, Sarah Silverman, and More

Well, so far, there are no “stunt celebrities” on the dais for Comedy Central’s latest roast that are just there for the simple spectacle without any real comedy chops. Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Nick Kroll, Natasha Leggero, Jeff Ross, and Sarah Silverman are pretty solid.

That’s great to see, for now, but we are surprised that Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride aren’t in this announcement as This Is The End must have been just a warm up for this.

Harris Wittels Sells Comedy to NBC

NBC has bought up a number of comedy projects, one of which we’re very intrigued by from Parks and Recreation writer Harris Wittels.

We’re not exactly sure what direction NBC comedy is headed as it would seem on the one hand that shows like Community, Parks and Recreation are the last of their kind at the network, yet they’re developing a project from a Parks and Rec’s writer.

Still, this is good news nonetheless.

Jack McBrayer To Voice New Disney Channel Series From Creators of Powerpuff Girls

There is thankfully a sort of new trend among cartoons aimed primarily for children in that they’re making it watchable for adults/parents that have to watch cartoons with their kids (i.e. Adventure Time, Phineas and Ferb).

Having Jack McBrayer voice the lead character for a show called “Wander Over Yonder” on The Disney Channel from Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust, the creators of The Powerpuff Girls and many other Cartoon Network favorites should be a good sign that this trend is continuing,

Watch Featurette From Jerry Lewis’ Infamous ‘The Day The Clown Cried”

Comedy legend Jerry Lewis’ “The Day The Clown Cried” has been almost an urban legend for simply being a movie about a clown that leads children to a concentration camp gas chamber and Lewis vowing for it to never see the light from a projector ever.

However, a featurette of the film showing Lewis on set doing a few takes from the movie as well as setting scenes has been uploaded to YouTube and while not revealing what the macabrely fascinated part of you would want to see, you can imagine what was only to follow.

It has hints of the documentary that should win the Oscar this year about surviving death squad leaders reenacting the murders they carried out decades later and their reaction to doing so, The Act of Killing, but for comedy.
