Cinefamily and The Comedy Store are Proud/Ashamed to present:

4/14 @ 8:00pm
Tony Clifton: Live On The Sunset Strip
(sneak preview!)

Co-presented by The Comedy Store

“Clifton is an emissary from the ninth circle of showbiz hell.” — AV Club Blog

“A figure so mesmerizing in his grotesquerie that his very existence becomes an act of theatrical alchemy.” — Entertainment Weekly

Andy Kaufman’s alter ego lounge singer Tony Clifton, along with his hot band and even hotter burlesque dancers, shocked Los Angeles audiences last May with the most hilariously heinous, politically incorrect act imaginable. Luckily for us, cameras were rolling. Be the first to see a sneak peek of what audiences and critics are still reeling about! Kaufman first discovered Clifton in ’69 in a seedy lounge in Las Vegas, and hired him for his historic “Carnegie Hall Concert”. In the ‘80s, Clifton appeared on Merv Griffin, Dinah Shore, Letterman, and even with Miss Piggy — before being thrown off the Paramount lot after showing up to a run-through of “Taxi” drunk with two hookers! Rumor has it that Tony may show up to this screening — that is, if he’s not sitting in the LAPD’s drunk tank again.

I once met a girl at party. She came home with me and sex happened. We fell asleep, then at some point in the night, I awoke and slipped out of bed. I started feeling around in the dark until I found her purse. In her purse, I found her keys. With her still sleeping, I took the keys and left my…

1) Rolling Stone’s got a pretty good podcast list.  With The Pod F. Tompkast, WTF! w/Marc Maron, The Nerdist, The Smartest Man in the World w/Greg Proops, Comedy Death Ray Radio, and more that we all should probably listen to, Rolling Stone almost makes up for the garbage “Top 100 Guitarists of All Time” list they put out every year. 

2) Jay Larson’s CD taping is TONIGHT at 8PM and you can still bypass the general cover fee with promo code: LARSON.  Along with performances from Pete Holmes, Melissa Villasenor, and Al Jackson, don’t miss a chance to laugh until your head will almost fall off and a chance for your laugh to be recorded forever.

3) Besides already knowing who won the upcoming Comedy Awards airing Sun. Apr. 10th, find out more with interviews from Tony Sam and Kate Riley at HahaJK.com-Red Carpet–Chloe Moretz–sketch duo briTANick.

4) Last night was a good night Late Night TV: Norm MacDonald on Kimmel Part 1–Part 2 & Don Rickles on Letterman & Marc Maron on Ferguson.

5) Tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL
LA Comedy Shorts Festival @ Downtown Independent Theater 7PM

7) Just a note about developing material: wondering about existence and purpose isn’t funny right off the bat.  Just an FYI.  Sidenote: I’m doing OK, I think.
