Morning Debriefing 2/22/11

February 22, 2011

1) Hilarious comedian Paul Jay was recently threatened by someone unknown to the Comedy Bureau at the Westwood Brewco Open Mic, sometimes referred to as the “open mic of love” over an incident that happened about a month ago. Apparently, the person dishing out the threats took offense to a comment that Paul made in trying to shut him up as this person was talking during the whole show. If anything is “going down” tonight, I urge anyone there to have Paul’s back because he’s a good man, a funny man, and anyone who claims they were whispering during the whole show and then wants to fight over being told to be quiet is pretty much in the wrong.

2) Real People liking good comedy: Everybody’s Talkin’ Comedy Show Review (via Wisepix).

3) The hilarious “Puddin” live action comic strip with Eddie Pepitone will be featured here everyday, but you can follow them on Twitter if you feel like beating the Comedy Bureau to the punch @puddinstrip.

Girls Gone Goldberg: Sucker Punch!

girlsgonegoldberg:

The fiancé got a Facebook message from some homo-panicked douche nozzle yesterday. This guy was so offended that Paul had shut him up at an open mic last month with “a gay joke…asking me to suck your dick and whatnot” that he has been coming back to the same open mic every week since so he could…

The Daily Flailure: Notes From The Annual Comedy Council Meeting

As an advocate for transparency in government, I feel obligated to tell you what to expect from comedy in the upcoming business year. As the junior member of The Council, I fear I may ruffle some feathers in the comedy establishment by doing so. And as a believer in the Rule of Threes, I feel the…
