1) UCB Radio is a real thing streaming on Sirius XM. Hopefully you didn’t drop anything too valuable.
2) There’s even more comedy at Occupy Wall St., so much so that crazed SNL alum Victoria Jackson felt like she had to have her say.
3) Tues. Oct. 25th. Bar Lubitsch. 10PM. The 365th Day of the Comedy Bureau.
5) Following in suit with a Daily Beast article on TV series Whitney giving pretty women the green light to be funny, despite BuzzFeed pointing out vicious tweets from female comedians about the show, Fox News furthers the discussion by pointing out that women might have a hard time making it in comedy if they’re not hot. While, all of that’s incredibly depressing to read, at least it’s not as cringe-inducing as Tim Allen’s new show.
6) Greg Proops and his podcast Smartest Man in the World now has a smartphone app.
7) Splitsider chats with Joe Mande, comedian and “celebrity sniper”.
