4) Jon Stewart’s Ratings are Higher Than Fox News [via ManintheMittle (via PoliticusUSA)]

1) Comedy Bureau favorite JAMES ADOMIAN will be on Lopez Tonight on TBS at MIDNIGHT. Watch live, set your DVR’s, OR check back here tomorrow as it will be posted.

 

2) Andrés Du Bouchet’s taping is tonight 10PM at Bar Lubitsch (7702 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA). This is a perfect part to be a part of comedy history/catch his one-of-a-kind absurdist stand-up/laugh until it hurts and then finding a way to laugh some more.

3) Thai Rivera will be debuting his new self-titled album at the Ontario Improv (4555 Mills Circle, Ontario, CA) next Thurs. June 16th 8PM. Thai’s proof that grinding it out at open mics, no matter where they are or how they are, can, through tireless hard work pays off and does so on your own terms (i.e. headlining your own show to release your own CD).

4) Melissa Villasenor auditions at America’s Got Talent. She gives that show’s name validation. Seriously. I first saw her an indie, topic based, comedy show a year ago, and only a month or so ago, she got passed at the Comedy Store as a regular, and now, this.  Congratulations and hopefully she’ll leave Forever 21 soon. 

5) Secret comedy show at the Comedy Brewery w/Michelle Buteau.  E-mail comedybrewery@gmail.com for details.  The only thing we know is that it’s in downtown. It’s that secret.

6) Connected Comedy’s got a project for funny people with some crazy stories.

7) A Drink with Dave-Stephen Falk & Dava Krause.   

TUE June 7: Stephen Falk from Brandon Walowitz on Vimeo.

WED June 8: Dava Krause from Brandon Walowitz on Vimeo.

8) “@GregProops-To everyone freaking out about the Reagan cartoon, laughing at what you disagree with is called being sophisticated.” Agreed.

9) Puddin’-“Karate Kid”

10) COMEDY CRAWL

12) People often wonder how I can mentally, emotionally, and physically stand putting up nearly 30 comics/musicians/erotic magicians every week at the Big Trouble in Little Tokyo Open Mic @ Señor Fish.  I don’t really know.  That’s how I get through it with not having an answer to that question and just doing it.
