1) Norm MacDonald (@NormMacdonald) was trending on Twitter in Los Angeles.  Apparently, he tweeted 14 times yesterday adding to his 16 total times he has tweeted since 2009… and he still has over 30,000 followers.  Makes Follow Fridays seem kind of pointless, doesn’t it?

6) Recently: Man has 39 Wives, nearly 100 children.  When I first read that, I hope that his 100 children just do impressions like a bad comic all the time until he goes clinically insane.

7) If you choose to dance while people are telling jokes instead of talking, you’re still heckling.  In fact, you’re worst.  Stop it.

1) If you’re not watching live comedy in a garage this weekend, then you’re really missing out something awesome, amazing, and uniquely Los Angeles.  DO NOT MISS both The Comedy Car Hole in West LA this Fri. 9PM and The Comedy Garage in Burbank Sat. 10PM.  Oh yeah, they’re both completely free (and have ample street parking).

2) The More Fucked Up You Are, The Better Your Material by the hilarious Amy Dresner [via Antithesis Comedy]

3) The Origins of Meltdown (you know the awesome live comedy show every Wed. 8:30PM $8 in the back of Meltdown Comics at 7522 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA say that 5 times fast) [via Turnstyle News]

4) OK, I know that I’m repeating myself here, but seriously, Emo Phillips is in town next Monday Feb. 28th at the Steve Allen Theater for Cartoon Dump and if you don’t go to that please don’t make eye contact with me.  Similarly, you should be watching or DVR’ing to watch repeatedly Comedy Central Presents Kyle Kinane Fri. Feb. 25th 11PM (that’s tomorrow). 

4) ON THE HORIZON
Found Footage Festival @ Largo Tues. Mar. 1st 8PM $20
This is Your Library w/Patton Oswalt @ Marc Taper Auditorium-Central Los Angeles Library Thurs. Mar. 3rd 7:30PM $15

TKO SHOW @ 212 CAFE 212 Pier Ave., Santa Monica, CA/Starts 9PM 

6) Recently: Some people think that Umami Burger is the best burger in America.  That may be all well and good, but it still can’t physically take down the Baconator, at least the way Comedian Eric Andre describes it.

7) Special Thanks to upstanding citizen and funny man Steve Schneider for his donation to the Comedy Bureau.

I want to have sex with Zach Sherwin. Or… Yeah. Yup.

We had a lot of fun on this episode. Check it out: Cats and Pussy Episode 8.

He wrote a rap song about the show, too! It’s in the middle of the episode, or you can listen to it on this blog here.

Boom.
