Roommating Episode 4 – Porn

Joel introduces Erin to pornography.

I never really liked porn.

Ok, sometimes I watch it.

But….I like this episode because it allows Joel and I to explore the viewing preferences of men and women when it comes to pornography or borderline pornography.

What we didn’t touch on is the bigger issue – how pornography has changed the way men and women have sex in the last 25 years. For example,  I doubt in the 60’s I would have felt pressure to say to my lover “come in my face” or “all over my tits” or “i’m your dick hole, use me”.*

I’m not sure what to believe when I read studies about how porn has created hyper-sexual men. But it is interesting that, even in the 90’s, the most porn young kids had access to was watching “Real Sex” (or hearing “Real Sex” and watching static), and now they have access to hours of fisting, shrimping, golden showers, scatting, feet fucking, heavy S&M, women fucking machines, and of course, and stuff where the consent of the people involved is questionable.

* I’ve only said one of these.

Discovering porn will probably be a lot like this for me.

los angeles comedy scene, marc maron

Comedians always say to me, ‘I don’t know where to go. Do I go to New York or do I go to L.A.?’ I say, ‘Look, if you want to continue training, go to New York. If you think you’re ready to get in the ring, go to L.A.’ You can’t hide in L.A. The business is everywhere. Whatever you do onstage is going to be seen by somebody, and it’s going to be talked about to somebody.

LA’s in Portland (at Bridgetown)

bridgetown, comedy festival, los angeles, portland

The Comedy Bureau is actually taking its first excursion from LA this weekend to Portland for the 3rd Annual Bridgetown Comedy Festival!

Not only is it a more than reasonable festival to attend with $75 all access pass, but over a third of the scheduled performers at Bridgetown are currently based out of LA, many of whom I see at performing at various bars and garages and rearranged apartments on a regular basis.  Now, many of the best, funniest, most original, well-known, on-the-rise, and hardly known (even back home) comics from LA’s comedy scene and from several other places around the U.S. will take the stage for all of Portland, the Pacific Northwest, and perhaps some real hardcore comedy nerds who flew out from elsewhere, and the Comedy Bureau will be here at Bridgetown for all of it.  

I could make a long list like everyone else blogging about it is doing in regards to who is showing up to this thing, but I think it’s a waste, especially when Bridgetown was voted Punchline Magazine Readers’ Favorite Comedy Festival of 2010.  

If you really want to find when Kyle Kinane is going up or see Kristen Schaal’s name on the list of performers, then here you go:

Bridgetown Schedule

Bridgetown List of Performers

Expect daily recaps, interviews, pics, and whatever else the Bureau Director can muster.  For those back home stuck in traffic trying to come up with #obamatraffic jokes, LA news, comedy crawls, and open mic runs will still be there.

I won’t be at an open mic in LA to find new ways to depress anyone whose listening unless you’ll be at the all night open mic that’s here for Bridgetown at the Tanker.  Details on that to come as well, perhaps in live-tweet form @thecomedybureau.

Stay tuned.

Got new headshots taken yesterday.

(Wow. Really, Matt? Gee. I can’t wait to hear another story from another L.A. actor about what it’s like to get your headshots done. I’m sure it’ll be totally different from every other story that every other actor has told about getting headshots done….
