Paul F Tompkins’ Final American Idol Recap | Vulture
I’m going to miss these. It was a joy watching Tompkins slowly realize the inescapable and addictive torture that is American Idol.
Instead of succumbing to “addictive torture”, maybe Tompkins will just get his own show on TV.

And we’ve got a new episode of The Download today, too!
This one has Morgan Murphy and Twitter’s @donni. I think it’s my favorite episode we’ve done so far.
The Laugh Button: Reggie Watts…Daytrotter
If you’ve never paid a visit to the website Daytrotter.com, I highly suggest that you do so. It’s a pretty extensive and terrific catalog of some of rock’s most interesting bands and characters. They have bands record live versions of their songs and release the MP3s free to the world. It’s…
Contrary what was posted earlier, the Comedy Store released a few more tickets to the nearly sold out Friday show in the Main Room. Get them here because tickets for tonight are now sold out.

Mash Up
with TJ Miller and reenactment help from Doug BensonIt’s comedy… visualized. Dear Comedy Central, please put this up somewhere to download. I would pay cash money to see this again.
I concur, MASH-UP NEEDS TO BE ON TV OR SOME OTHER BROADCAST MEDIUM WHERE EVERYONE CAN WATCH. Cue your own personal Mash-Up chant.

The Comedy Garage was rescheduled to make their rise from the ashes tonight in Silverlake, but are now relocating tonight’s festivities to Echo Park-1150 Sunvue Pl. #2, Los Angeles, CA.
Still on the line-up: Chris Fairbanks, Brandon Vaughn, April Richardson, Matt Braunger, Jim Hamilton, Paul Danke, Sean Green, and Cornell Reid.
Special thanks NEEDS to go out to Amaya Perea and Abbey Londer for saving the night.
In so many words, you need to go to the Comedy Garage tonight to feed the house party/comedy show hunger you know you have.
It’s a rare thing to catch any comic, good or bad, doing more than 10 minutes in LA.
Tonight, you have to catch some of best stand-ups in LA actually headline. Pete Holmes (before recording his album) and Thai Rivera (who just recorded his album) who crush going up anywhere in and around town are now getting their night.
Don’t miss it (especially if you missed out on Stanhope headline the Comedy Store or Baron Vaughn record his album).
GO TO:
Pete Holmes at the Hollywood Improv (8162 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA) $18/2 item min./7:30PM–9:30PM
&
Thai Rivera at the Irvine Improv (71 Fortune Rd., Irvine, CA #841) $17/2 item min./11PM
Backstage Video of WTF! w/Marc Maron
Maron wandering around the Steve Allen Theater before his live taping chatting with Eddie Pepitone, BJ Novak, and Joel McHale (whom he asks about performing stand-up before he should have).

Met a weird guy at open mike. (not the first time that’s been said, I’m sure). THEN he came up to me at ** and ask if I’d be in his webseries and then asked me if I wanted any material that he had “acquired”. I said… “don’t say acquired, it sounds like you stole it.” him, “Oh, I did.” NOT OKAY… I…
Jackie, do not feel bad for this person.
This anomaly in the comedy world not only steals jokes, but openly admits to it as if it’s an OK thing to do. They’re also the type of person that probably blackmails their way into audition for Last Comic Standing, Live at Gotham, or a major comedy club and, again, thinks all of that is OK. At an open mic, this is the type of person that shouldn’t be talking to anybody, much less pitching projects or giving advice because elsewhere they have the type of reputation of an artistic leper that everyone absolutely stays away from (and reputation travels pretty damn fast; just ask Jason Garrett).
The worst part about people like this is that they have been in comedy for almost too long. They should know better. In the years they’ve worked through in comedy, they should know how hard it is to come up with and hone a comedy act. Yet, whether or not they acknowledge the tribulations of taking a path as a comedic performer that often has no distinct direction, they stick to their philosophy of “whatever it takes” to reach a goal that they, hopefully, never attain.
So, once again, do not feel bad, Jackie. Do not feel bad at all.
Remain Champagne: “DO NOT ANNOY.”
I don’t often travel, but when I do, signs like these are the best part. Really? The best part? Maybe. Sometimes. You know why? Because they work. I think they do. (I feel like one of these signs has been hanging outside of every apartment I’ve ever lived in.) I personally can’t…
I hope Matt Champagne compiles all of these into a book someday…

I don’t like reblogging the Daily What because I assume everyone already follows it, but still…this deserves it.
I concur with Kyle. I, like hundreds of other people, just want this on my feed.
