If you can’t get into his shows at Largo tonight and tomorrow, this will definitely be a great substitute. Also, we really shouldn’t give you a reason to pick this up other than mentioning that Hannibal has a new special out now.

The Onion/A.V. Club Are Putting on The 1st Annual 26th Annual Comedy Festival

With the absence of JFL Chicago, there was a open spot for a big time comedy festival, which, thankfully, The Onion and A.V. Club are now planning to fill.

Coming this June, The 1st Annual 26th Annual Comedy Festival will bring the likes of Kyle Kinane, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Marc Maron, Tig Notaro, and more to Chicago. If anything, you should almost just go to this thing if you’re around the area because of the festival’s name.

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee’s 4th Season Is Underway

Yesterday, Jerry Seinfeld tweeted that his award winning web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, has begun shooting its first episode. 

This time, Seinfeld’s not in LA or NYC, but in Las Vegas, which, we can only guess means that he’s starting off with George Wallace?

David Brent Rock Mockumentary in the Works for TV Says Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais has been touring as The Office’s David Brent sporadically over the last several months, but unbeknownst to us all, he’s been filming much of it for a rock mockumentary TV series that he wants to make. 

Hopefully, some network is going to pick this up very soon.

Tonight’s Episode of Conan Has Jeff Garlin, Andy Daly, and Todd Barry

It’s rare that a late night talk show these days has a line-up full of comedians, almost similar to how long it takes for planets to align.

Yet, tonight’s Conan on TBS features, as mentioned above, Jeff Garlin, Andy Daly, and Todd Barry all in the same hour. In short, it should be a whole bunch of fun on top of the whole bunch of fun that Conan already is.

Don’t miss it. TBS 11PM.

We certainly hope you’re watching Review on Comedy Central, one of the best new shows this year. 

If not, watch Andy Daly as Forrest MacNeil review divorce and eating 30 pancakes (twice the number of the first time he “reviewed” binge eating pancakes), then you shouldn’t be sufficiently hooked to catch it every Thurs. 10PM.

There’s a Sundance Film Festival in London Featuring Many of The Great Indie Comedies From U.S. Sundance

Since 2012, there has been a Sundance Film Festival in London that brings many of the films discovered in Park City, UT at the flagship Sundance Film Festival.

As there is a lack of exposure of our own indie films in general here in the States, there’s definitely a lack of exposure over in the U.K. That’s why, if you’re in London are going to be there in late April, maybe you can check out, catch, discover the likes of David Cross’ Hits, Frank with Michael Fassbender, They Came Together with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, Obvious Child with Jenny Slate, The Trip to Italy with Steve Coogan and Michael Winterbottom, and plenty of other indie comedies that made their U.S. festival debut earlier this year in Jan.

Piers Morgan Tonight’s Katie Nelson Thomson Joins ‘Last Week Tonight With John Oliver’

Katie Nelson Thomson who has spent her time previously and Piers Morgan Tonight and 20/20 has just been named senior talent producer of HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. 

This should make for an interesting mesh as John Oliver is a big departure from Barbara Walters and Piers Morgan and most certainly would never be called a ‘terrible interviewer’.

Patton Oswalt to Host The Webby Awards For Third Time in a Row

Though The Webby Awards hasn’t been around as long as The Oscars, they have might have what the Oscars found with Billy Crystal in Patton Oswalt. Oswalt has just been tapped for a third time to host the ceremony, which might becoming a regular thing for him as he just hosted The Spirit Awards earlier this year.

We wonder if he’s going to start pulling more stunts like he did with birds at the Spirit Awards.
