13) Saw a “comic” point out noises instead of telling jokes or do ANYTHING because apparently we weren’t on board with his weirdness, which he didn’t approve of, and then cut and run right after his set. If he was trying to make sure that people won’t come to his shows where his name is on the bill, he’s doing a damn good job.

The Laugh Button: Emotional Rescue: Marc Maron Finds There’s No Place Like Home
Marc Maron can talk. The caffeinated comic has been earning stand-up badges of honor since the late ’80s with an act that’s brutally self-aware, relentlessly self-obsessed and emotionally bare-ass naked. At times he’s political (he was an Air America host for a time), but mostly, it’s…

Make RSVPS now because we many people enjoy the things we do but we run out of space fast so not as many people can see what we do! Do it!
Morning Debriefing 6/20/11
1) Perform This Way by Weird Al Yankovic
2) Today: the wonderfully hilarious Jamie Lee will be hosting coverage of the Critics’ Choice Television Awards for VH1.com. Do not miss.
3) What Megan Amram thinks an episode of “Games of Thrones” is like without having ever seen the show.
“Enter JAIME LANNISTER, an important member of the 92,924,024-person cast. He has just finished elaborately sexing a glimmering satyr with his shimmering be-amuleted penis. P.S. There are 356,753,103 satyrs in this show. They are half-horse/half-sexy horse.”
4) The march for the Onion getting a Pulitzer via their own grassroots organization AFAJP continues with the celebrity backing of Arianna Huffington, Tom Hanks, and Mario Batali. I wonder what Literally Unbelievable will makes of this.
5) Louis CK doesn’t want his show to go on forever. [via Caroline’s on Broadway]

3 Businesses Launched By Comedians That Revolutionized Comedy
3 Businesses Launched By Comedians That Revolutionized Comedy
I believe to build a successful comedy career these days you have to also be an entrepreneur. Perhaps more so than ever, the ability to understand and pursue the business side of your comedy is as important as the creative side.
In thinking about this, I’ve realized three of the most significant developments in the comedy business in recent years came as a result of comedians’ business instincts just as much as their comedic talent. Here’s three stories of talented comedians who furthered their own careers and launched many others because of the businesses they created.
