Morning Debriefing 7/23/11

1) Meta with your saturday morning breakfast much? Well, here’s Patton Oswalt’s tweeted twitpic of his essay on Twitter in GQ.

 

2) So who ever thought this Jen Kirkman…

Would be this Jen Kirkman…?

3) The Ultimate Free & Cheap LA Comedy List for 7/24-7/30 from Wisepix.com.

4) Blamblamblam! gets written up like a rock show in the LA Record.

5) Melissa Villasenor talks with the Comedy Groupie about getting passed at the Comedy Store.

6) Jesse Miller + wordplay + attempt at product integration + heavy metal festival = damn funny.

7) The kid friendly show Two Milk Minimum at Flappers Burbank hosted by one of the most hilarious acts of all ages, Michael Rayner, gets some love from the Examiner.

8) Patrick Keane is amazing. This picture is only the tip of the iceberg of his comedy, in which I’m sure he’s talking about how commenting on the A/C has distanced the audience from himself while simultaneously getting a laugh.
