Self Absorption at Discount Prices.: Perhaps I Can Coax You Into Watching “The Daily Habit” on Fuel TV?

jordanmorris:

For about five years now I’ve worked for a television program called “The Daily Habit” on Fuel TV. For most of the show’s life, it’s been primarily an action sports (skateboarding, surfing, etc.) interview show with some comedy bits in between (produced and sometimes hosted by…

Nick Cannon Knows Comedy Better Than Co-Ed Magazine

I know the title of this post might be either surprising or incredibly obvious depending on your opinion of Nick Cannon.

Still, someone who picks Hannibal Buress, Garfunkel & Oates, and Harris Wittels as some of the hottest, up and coming comedians has an infinitely better idea about the state of comedy than an entire publication that calls comedy legend Bill Hicks underrated.

Nerdist Theater Beyond Wednesdays

Nerdist Theater Beyond Wednesdays

Through the link is a listing of this week Nerdist Theater events.  That’s right, there’s more than just “Meltdown” on Wednesdays.  In fact, so many people missed out on the amazing Drennon Davis and his Imaginary Radio show last Friday, right before the world was supposed to end.

So, what I’m saying… is maybe you’ll want to check out Harmontown with “Community” creator Dan Harmon or a live recording of the Nerdist Podcast or the amazing open mic hosted by Matt Mira and Paul Cibis or really anything else in the back room of Meltdown Comics that isn’t on a Wednesday.
