If There’s One Person That Should Be Talking About Celebrities on TV, It’s Bill Burr

June 27, 2013
Uncategorized
bill burr, conan, paula deen

Celebrity dish and the hundreds of shows that cover that and overall celebrity culture/obsession usually don’t peak our interest. However, brilliant comedic minds like Bill Burr’s can not only make it palatable, but hilarious and insightful like he did on Conan last night commenting on Paula Deen.

Watch the clip here and then let’s hope Bill gets a TV show where he talks about anything and everything (you know like his podcast). 

Kumail Nanjiani’s 1-Hr. Comedy Central Special Called “Beta Male” & Will Be Available July 23rd

Kumail Nanjiani will have his first 1 hour stand up special on Comedy Central July 20th at Midnight, “Beta Male”. A CD/DVD of the whole thing, extended and uncensored of course, will be available the following Tuesday, July 23rd.

Our advice: Get in on both.

For Comedians, It Definitely Doesn’t Get Better, It Gets Worse

June 27, 2013
Uncategorized
comedy, it gets better, it gets worse, psa

While the decision that DOMA is unconstitutional has made a promise from the “It Gets Better” campaign true, comedians don’t get the benefit of that maxim. Comedians Grant Lyon and Dave Waite have put together a web series of talking heads of several very funny people that you may or may not know, but hopefully do, like Andy Peters, Lachlan Patterson, Jim Hamilton, Ryan Singer, Tony Sam, Heidi Hayward talking about how doing comedy has almost never gotten better (losing jobs, relationships, getting various things thrown at you, being told you’re not funny etc.) except for the fact that they don’t want to do anything else.

Take it as a PSA to not do or do comedy or something where you witness how delusional we all have to be to keep doing comedy, but watch It Gets Worse because it’s pretty great. Also, you can submit your own story of comedy getting worse; details at end of each video.

Here are parts one, two, three, and four.

Filmmaker, Writer, and UCB’s Creative Director Todd Bieber got a never before seen look into what goes into one of the most legendary improv shows in the world of improv, ASSSSCAT. It’s one of the longest running and most well known long form improv shows now running on both in NYC and LA. Amy Poehler, one of the founding members of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, gives a tour through UCB Chelsea on a typical night of ASSSSCAT with the likes of Chris Gethard, Zach Woods, Horatio Sanz, Ms. Poehler herself, Jon Hamm, all being in the same room.

Yes, You Do Want To Support a Kickstarter for an Air Sex Championship Documentary

June 28, 2013

Yes, there is an Air Sex Championship going on since 2008 and if you’re thinking that it’s pretty much as advertised with people competing against each other in how well they act out sex by themselves on stage, then you’re right on the money. A documentary is being made exploring this phenomenon and we think you should support as it’s pretty funny, especially if you get over your prudish American ways, assuming that’s the case, and watch people try to mime sex for a high score.

Watch their Kickstarter video/donate here.

Marc Maron Got To Be on Letterman and Ferguson Last Night

Go figure that the last place that would probably pick up a series like Maron, CBS, would end up having Marc Maron on both The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on the same night. Still, Maron’s great talking on interviewing Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner for WTF and his recent engagement to his soon to be 3rd wife.

Watch him on Letterman here and on Ferguson here. Oh the finale of Maron is on tonight at IFC at 10PM, so you should watch that too.

Full Trailer for Larry David’s ‘Clear History’

Larry David has been keeping his improvised HBO movie, “Clear History” kind of secret ever since it was announced not giving up too much details until now with the release of a full trailer. Though David looks vastly different for a part of the movie, it’s not surprising that he plays a character not too far off from the Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm/real life, which we’re sure there will be plenty of people happy with that.

Conan O’Brien feels that he is not only the host of Conan on TBS, but also a spiritual leader and, apparently, the chief detective for things gone missing. So, Conan taped his investigation of his assistant’s mug suddenly disappearing only to find something possibly more troubling/really funny.

Amazon Studios Looking For Short Films To Be Adapted Into Features

Moving on from their newly minted stable of original web series, Amazon Studios is already expanding on to features by, much in the same way they got their web series, accepting submissions of short films to be adapted into full length feature films.

They’re looking for something 2-15 min. long that can be the basis for an entire movie and offering $10,000 if your project is put in development. 

We just thought it might be something some of you would be interested in.

Powerviolence’s last show is this Sunday, June 30th at 9PM at Strait Jacket Society and Holy Fuck’s last show is the Tuesday, July 2nd at 9PM at Downtown Independent Theater.

John Mulaney’s NBC Comedy Pilot Isn’t Dead Yet As Fox Orders New Script

John Mulaney’s NBC Comedy Pilot Isn’t Dead Yet As Fox Orders New Script

One of the most hotly talked about pilots this past pilot season, and probably the most shocking when it didn’t get picked up, was John Mulaney’s pilot over at NBC. Not only featuring one of the funniest people in comedy right now in John Mulaney, the pilot had a star studded cast with the likes of Elliot Gould, Martin Short, and more.

Thankfully, Fox is interested and the project still has hope, though we hope it stays live action instead of becoming part of Fox’s arsenal of animated comedies.

Warner Bros. is delving into their vast archives to put together a nice, big DVD collection spanning almost 8 decades of comedy on film from The Philadelphia Story (1940) to Blazing Saddles (1974) to National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983) to The Hangover (2009) and so much more in between. The Best of Warner Bros. 20 Film Collection Comedy has 20 films, which you can get order now for $68.99 at Warner Bros before it’s release on July 2nd.

It’ll be a great way to catch up on your comedy film history/kill this upcoming long weekend for the 4th of July.

This week when the Defense Of Marriage Act was declared unconstitutional by The Supreme Court, the amazing Cameron Esposito wrote a piece in two parts on what happened afterwards, specifically with her father who has had a conflicted relationship with Cameron ever since she came out as gay to him. 

Yet, that’s changed and what Cameron wrote about it is pretty wonderful, heart-wrenching, funny, and hopeful and so many other adjectives that will just take up to much space on this post. We feel privileged that we got to catch her reading it live at the latest Risk Storytelling Show this past week.

Read parts one and two now, probably with a good cup of coffee or tea to make for a very nice hour this Sunday afternoon.

Called Yes & No, they only are asking for $800, but are looking for $7500 on Kickstarter because their project won’t get funded if they set their goal too high and only get close. Also, they’re on a quest to do a movie quicker, better, and for cheaper than Zach Braff, so just donate and help the cause already.

NBC Will Be Looking For Writers and Sketch Performers/Improvisers For New Sketch Show

Though letting John Mulaney’s pilot go to Fox might be a sign that NBC is shifting it’s branding in comedy, they are looking to make a comedy sketch series (we’re guessing their version of Key & Peele).

They don’t have writers or cast members yet and will be scouting for them very soon throughout the country.

As ridiculous as the anticipation for a royal baby is, Dave manages to top that with his royal baby merchandise in the latest episode. Watch here.

This Better Be Funny

By “…with ‘Poetry’”,  Jake and Jeremy mean that they have, on this very episode, themselves doing poetry at a comedy open mic. Of course, there’s the normal riffing session with various comedians come in and out as Jeremy undoubtedly finds a way to walk them from the show, but there are poems read at the open mic written in both high school and in just less than an hour before the recording of the podcast. Interestingly enough, the poetry doesn’t walk anyone and gets laughs.
