Morning Debriefing 11/21/11

1) The LA Comedy Shorts Festival extended their deadline to Jan. 10th!

2) Portlandia is going on tour! Their LA stop is on Jan. 17th at the Echoplex and tickets go on sale tomorrow. This is good reason to keep a budget for eating just at 7-11, right?

Portlandia. Live. Get excited.

3) Ryan Stout’s Touché will be coming out on Comedy Central Records on Dec. 6th. The perfect gift to buy for yourself in trying to fool people into thinking that you’re not Christmas shopping.

4) Part 2 of Woody Allen: A Documentary is on PBS 9PM tonight.

5) Comedy Light Box gets the Garfunkel and Oates treatment. Wait, switch that…

6) We hope there is more to come from this Reggie Watts room
