Field of Dreams of Comedy (in a Living Room and the Warehouse)

September 20, 2011

Uncategorized

cheap, comedy news, comedy shows, downtown, echo park, free, independent, live, what to do

According to LA based comedian Andrew Solmssen, it’s “in the tradition of LA comedy to take place where it has no business being.” Currently, that tradition is firmly upheld by the comedy community in the Greater Los Angeles Area by comics big and small, experienced and green. There are shows that have taken place in garages, on rooftops, in the back of comic book stores, in sex shops, and more. Yet, while the cavalier independent spirit of LA comedy being fed up with relying on someone else for stage time, few shows are set-up and run so perfectly that you wouldn’t know that you were in someone’s living room.

While shows like Meltdown in the back of Meltdown Comics (AKA the Nerdist Theater) have been featured on Last Call with Carson Daly, there are other shows that also “do it right” in the most unlikely spaces. One-Two Punch, a comedy variety show taking place in a repurposed living room, and Neighbors, a stand-up show that takes place at an independent clothing store called the Warehouse, are two such shows that, luck would have it, you can catch both this week for less than $5. If you’ve never seen live comedy or you’re a borderline obsessive comedy nerd, these are two shows that need to be on your comedy bucket list. Also, you need to start making a comedy bucket list if you’re going to continue to live in or near LA.

Barbara Gray and Whitney Teubner put together an almost seasonal comedy show at their lovely Benton Manor that has become one of those urban myths that happens to be true. Moving all the furniture in their living room, renting chairs, setting up proper lighting, draping a traditional red curtain with a wonderfully homemade sign that spells out letter by letter One-Two Punch already makes for a great set-up for a night of comedy. Then, there’s a punch bowl and LA’s best comedians to make a great night of comedy, a one-of-a-kind night of comedy. The likes of Maria Bamford, Rory Scovel, Matt Braunger, and Kyle Kinane have graced their stage and have made audiences at “One-Two” feel like they’re at a normal comedy venue. Featuring random characters and sketches as well, there is no excuse to miss out on this show, especially after it’s been featured in the LA Times and only costs $3. Well, if you can’t get in because there is no room left to sit or stand is the one and only reason you should miss out this Saturday with the amazing Brent Weinbach and Eric Andre who both were on Lopez Tonight before it went off the air as well as Johnny Pemberton who was one of the Just for Laughs Montreal’s Fresh Faces.

Though only on their sophomore edition, Neighbors had such a fantastic inaugural show that it needs to be the word-on-the-street in Echo Park, Downtown and beyond. For all of this year, comedian/producer Abbey Londer has run several one-off comedy shows throughout LA from the Hollywood Improv all the way to the XRT theatre in the Warehouse District to success. Along with earning her stripes proving that Abbey knows how to put on a show, Neighbors is co-produced by up-and-coming, touring comedian Karl Hess who has been on the road with the aforementioned Kyle Kinane and has been also an aforementioned JFL Fresh Face. The duo make their night of comedy at the patio of a clothing store an event that no one would have the slightest idea wasn’t a Comedy Central taping. Though there isn’t a roof, but a great vibe is already set by the brick walls, a firepit, a professional DJ, and a food truck. Neighbors takes place tomorrow night at the Warehouse (1197 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA), free of charge, with a fantastic line-up including Laurie Kilmartin who writes for Conan, TJ Miller who has an upcoming Comedy Central Special, Pete Holmes who already had a Comedy Central Special, and more.

Whether comedy actually has business in living rooms and patios is up for debate, but that should be no reason to go against tradition, especially this one.

4) If you’ve never heard of this, you’re going to hear of it now: TV Guide Letter Theater. That’s right re-enactments of people writing letters to TV Guide.

No Hamclown Tonight.

September 22, 2011

Uncategorized

Earlier today in the Morning Debriefing, we posted that Downtown LA comedy variety show, Hamclown, is happening tonight, when it’s been rescheduled to Sept. 29th due to shooting of the Dark Knight Sequel.

We apologize for this inconvenience and the fact that some of us were fasting to get our cholesterol tested for their physical and let the hunger pains distract from the normally reliable listings at the Comedy Bureau, but that’s neither here or there. Feel free to see any of the multitude of fantastic live comedy shows that are happening tonight.

Here’s the new poster I designed for Patton Oswalt! He’s presenting a mini film festival in LA.

You can now order it and other posters I’ve designed for him right HERE!

We’re normally not a big fan of film Q&A’s, but we’ll make an exception for Patton Oswalt.

This should have been part of the Morning Debriefing today, but sometimes when you remember to eat breakfast, you forget about posting the upcoming night’s talk show comedy guests of which there are many.

As follows…

Albert Brooks will be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (NBC 11:35PM) hopefully to talk about his role in Drive.

Matt Stone & Trey Parker will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC MIDNIGHT) undoubtedly further pulling back the curtain on their show South Park.

Melissa McCarthy will be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC 12:35AM) as she’s selling things left and right as well as hosting SNL.

Patton Oswalt will be on Conan (TBS 11PM) and that’s should be enough of a hook to watch.

1) If you don’t own a TiVo or a DVR like we do, you missed out on Patton Oswalt on Conan, Trey Parker & Matt Stone on Kimmel, and Albert Brooks on Leno. Thanks Internet.

2) Comedy Bang Bang passes 10 million downloads. Take that Malcolm Gladwell.

3) “My Life With Jews” by Rob Delaney

4) While Tyler Perry was one of the entertainment industry’s highest paid men, Tina Fey being one of the highest paid actresses might just balance it out.

5) You have an opportunity to vote Paul Scheer into playing Elton John in a movie (according to People Magazine that is)…

6) Also, this is happening… Megan Amram is selling a screenshot of an acre of the Internet on eBay.

1) Weird Al Yankovic’s Alpocalypse Tour premieres tonight on Comedy Central 9PM.

2) Patton Oswalt is moderating screenings at the New Beverly…

3) Why you should be “tuning” into the Matt Goldich Twitter Talk Show…

4) Tonight, The Comedy Garage mark another milestone by taping their pilot. You should go to this (in case it wasn’t clear).

5) Though it’s poorly titled and Comics Unleashed is the stock inside joke of most working comedians, Who Wants to Date a Comedian? did make me laugh a bit. Also, Marianne Sierk and Tom Clark being in the first few episodes helps.

6) Karen Rontowski on Letterman.

1) Doug Stanhope finds out that he’s sort of a libertarian on John Stossel on Fox and John Stossel finds out how to not do comedy.

2) Everything you’ve possibly imagined to come true of The Room’s Tommy Wiseau trying to play video games as a web series, The Tommy Wi Show, if that’s something that you’ve imagined, have come true thanks to Machinima and Payman Benz.

3) We’re just saying that NTSF:SD:SUV, The League, How Did This Get Made?, & Crash Test’s Paul Scheer will be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tomorrow. Just sayin’…

4) First, watch Drive. Second, (whether you loved it or hated how the film highlighted how good Ryan Gosling is) watch this sketch from Josh Androsky, Mike Burns, and Lindsay Ames. Don’t mix up the order.

5) The Jesse Miller Talk Show Video Invite is an event in of itself and reason enough to make sure you attend the live show.
