Doug Stanhope’s Has Raised $86,000 for Atheist Oklahoma Tornado Victim with Great Indiegogo Page

After the wake of a tornado in Oklahoma and the devastation it brought about, one woman, Rebecca Vitsmun, while being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer admitted she was an atheist, though she doesn’t fault any survivors that thanked God.

Hearing this, Doug Stanhope started an indiegogo page for Vitsmun and her family that you might want to donate to (even though it has surpassed its goal of $50,000 and is currently above $86,000 raised) for both a good cause and how damn funny it is.

One of the rewards is a “Get Out of Hell Free Card”.

Adam Scott Teased The Next ‘Greatest Event in Television History’

Based off the last Greatest Event in Television History, we’re trying to figure what retro TV show or, possibly, movie what have Amy Poehler as a brunette in a convertible, a photo that Adam Scott tweeted and teased this week for the very next “Greatest Event in Television History” set for June 6th at Adult Swim.

No details on if this upcoming ‘greatest event’ will negate the other ‘greatest event’, but we’ll keep you updated.

Please Watch This 6 Minutes of Stand-Up by Jeremy Paul

We thought that comedians Matt Ingebretson and Dave Ross were just going to fence with no fencing experience as a one-off, but, as it thankfully turns out, we’re getting more of these Idiot Fencing videos.

This latest one features Bridger Winegar and Cameron Esposito and a house and several house items that are completely illegal in actual fencing.Thanks to creator Matt Ingebretson and director Pat Bishop for keeping this going.

Alpha House and Betas Get Greenlight at Amazon Studios

Alpha House and Betas Get Greenlight at Amazon Studios

Congratulations to Alpha House and Betas both making it as Amazon Studios’ first original comedy series and being part of TV, and subsequently comedy, on the Internet forward. We’re glad that people will get to see more of Jon Daly on whatever screen their watching.

Still, we’re really shocked Those Who Can’t and The Onion News Empire didn’t make the cut or, hopefully, we’re just reacting prematurely.

A Look at Entitlement at Los Globos (It’s a Comedy Show at a Club in Silverlake, Not a State of Mind)

comedy show, los globos, silverlake, vice

We’re always suckers for behind the mic/curtain of comedy, especially when it’s done by our good friend Steve Feinartz (director of The Bitter Buddha) and is in black and white and features Kyle Kinane AND is profiling the brand new weekly comedy show brought to you by the comedian writers of Vice Magazine (Josh Androksy, Dave Schilling, Megan Koester, Allen Strickland Williams, Grant Pardee, and Alison Stevenson) called Entitlement (the show is happening tonight).

Watch the mini doc here.

The ‘Holy Fuck. Live Comedy.’ Is Now Available To Buy, So Just Go Ahead and Do Exactly That

If you even enjoy it half as much as we did when we attended the tapings, you’ll be thrilled that you bought the Holy Fuck live comedy album featuring some of the best comedians, both established and rising through the ranks (Sean Patton, Kyle Kinane, Dave Ross, Hasan Minhaj, Lizzy Cooperman, Dave Ross, Eric Andre, Dana Gould, and much more), in LA and from around the country and be laughing and doubling over plenty.

So buy it and listen on repeat already.

Need To Watch Something a la ‘This Is Spinal Tap’? Well, Here’s “Daryl-Portrait of an Axe Man”

andre hyland, jesse miller, paul oyen, this is spinal tap

An integral member of the hilarious Jesse Miller Talk Show, Daryl (Paul Oyen) plays ‘bone crushing guitar licks’ in hopes of becoming the straight up next guitar bad ass in heavy metal.

In the meantime, he works at AM/PM.

Watch this mini-mockumentary, Daryl-Portrait of an Axe Man, that feels like the story of someone who took This Is Spinal Tap not as a mockumentary, but a calling of sorts.

Absurdly delightful Australia comedian Sam Simmons is doing a special limited run, for now, here in LA of an “interactive anarchic stand-up game show”, “Sam Simmons Has Problems”. Seeing all the fun has had up in JFL Montreal with just a loaf of bread, this is bound to be a fun run on Mondays through July 15th (except for July 1st) at The Virgil following Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen.

RSVP for the first one w/Kumail Nanjiani and Matt Braunger here.

‘Modern Comedian’ Profiles Beth Stelling and Her Love of Sweets and Subsequent Dental Work

beth stelling, modern comedian, pbs, scott moran

The self-imposed nickname “Sweet Beth” for the very funny Beth Stelling comes from Beth’s predilection towards sweet foods. In fact, she has had extensive dental work done because of that as featured on this latest episode of Scott Moran’s Modern Comedian.

Apparently, it’s hard to reconcile having a sweet tooth as a comedian with little to no dental insurance.
