Pick of the Day: Jerrod Carmichael-Work in Progress (in LA) 8/11

August 10, 2022

jerrod carmichael, los angeles comedy, silverlake, stand up comedy

It is pretty much without question or any debate that Jerrod Carmichael’s Rothaniel is not only one of the best stand-up specials of 2022, but one of the best ones in recent memory (and very likely of this decade). The gravity of that special and playing with such a wide open blank canvas and open floor of conversation is revelatory.

With that in mind, you’re probably not going to want to miss Jerrod doing a work-in-progress show here in LA. Lucky for you, there’s one happening this Thurs. night Aug. 11th at 9:30PM PT @ Lyric Hyperion in Silverlake. Tickets are $18 (w/a $16 item min.) and space is definitely limited. You’re going to want to snag tickets quick before they inevitably sell out.

Ruben Östlund Will Likely Cement Himself as One of Comedy’s Premier Auteurs with Triangle of Sadness

August 9, 2022

News

ruben ostlund, trailer, triangle of sadness

Between Force Majeure and The Square, Sweden’s Ruben Östlund has already put himself in the upper echelons of comedy filmmaking, certainly a far cry from most comedies that come through your local multiplex. In fact, those are such high art/arthouse comedies that they don’t seem like they’re in a category all their own along with a handful of films from Wes Anderson, Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Favourite), and Armando Iannucci (Death of Stalin).

Östlund’s latest offering, Triangle of Sadness, which nabbed the Cannes Film Festival’s highest honor, the Palme D’or, looks like it will be yet another benchmark setting comedy that’s so searing in its pin-prickly nuances about privilege and the blindest of blindspots for people that are the most out of touch. The trailer finally made its way online and Östlund set his sights for his ornate satire towards the 1% and the ultra-beautiful as opposed to toxic masculinity or the modern art world and it might be his boldest, most cutting work yet.

With that in mind, Östlund’s name should be far more renowned, especially when, Downhill, an English language remake of Force Majeure bombed in nearly every way and is one of the few voices in cinema that the Academy will have in the running during awards season.

See all of this for yourself in the first “delicious” official trailer of Triangle of Sadness, then get ready to buy tickets for wherever it’s playing on Oct. 7th.

Also, round of applause for the best movie poster in probably the last decade.

Pick of the Day: Comedy Bang! Bang! Live (in LA) 8/14

It has been more than quite some time since the world has gotten to see Scott Aukerman and co. take the stage to bring everyone another edition of one of the foundational pillars of the wide world of comedy podcasts, Comedy Bang! Bang!

For several years, Aukerman and deft comedic minds like Paul F. Tompkins, Lauren Lapkus, Carl Tart, and more have blurred the lines between the most absurd characters chatting it up with real guests. The live version of CBB is even more rambunctious and something that no comedy fan should really miss out on (even if you’re somehow not acquainted with the pod).

Thankfully, Comedy Bang! Bang! is playing the grand Theatre at the Ace Hotel in DTLA on this Sun. Aug. 14th at 6PM PT. Joining Scott will be, of course, Paul F. Tompkins as well as…

…The CBB World All-Stars:
Enteé PEe Neur’s Entrepreneur Tour (with Ego Nwodim, Carl Tart, and Drew Tarver)
Hey Randy! (With Tim Baltz, Mary Sohn, Dan Lippert, and Lily Sullivan)
Bonanas For Bonanza (with Andy Daly and Matt Gourley)

We have no doubt that this will be one of LA’s biggest, most iconic comedy shows of the year and it might be worth the at least $49 ticket price that doesn’t include service/delivery fees. Go get more details/tix here while you still can.

The one and only Bill Burr in back in NYC this week.

With Live at Red Rocks having been just released on Netflix just a few weeks ago, Burr undoubtedly has a new hour that you can catch live and in-person if you head on down to Queens. There’s about a million and a half things that have happened since Burr recorded that special and, of course, he has his sharp, signature satiric take on all of it (on top of figuring out how to not be like his dad with very own kids).

City Winery is putting on Burr at Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, Queens this Wed. Aug. 10th at 7:30PM ET and they’re still tickets available if you’ve got a cool $175 in your back pocket. Get tickets while you still can, if you’ve got the cash, here.

News

drew droege, jackie beat, sam pancake, sherry vine

Of the tickets that are hardest to snag in LA comedy, one of them has to be whenever The Golden Girlz does a run at the Cavern Club Theater downstairs at Casita Del Campo.

For the uninitiated, this is probably the peak of what camp can be in comedy as Jackie Beat, Sherry Vine, Drew Droege, and Sam Pancake take on, with loving abandon, the iconic roles played by Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White, and Estelle Getty in the iconic sitcom, The Golden Girls.

For years, their camp reimagining of the show sold out so quick. Thankfully, this latest round of The Golden Girlz that will play on the weekends from Aug. 19th-28th at Casita Del Campo still have some tickets available. Rustle up $40 and pick a show or shows of either 8PM or 10PM on Fridays or Saturdays or 3PM, 7PM, or 9PM on Sundays.

Don’t wait. Go get them right here right now before they all sell out per usual.

If you don’t already know about how great the comedy scene is in Atlanta, let this serve as a friendly reminder that plenty of great comedians are right there right now in addition to the wealth of headliners that come through their healthy stable of comedy clubs/theaters/venues. Both Joe Zimmerman and Andy Sandford came out of ATL and are now very solid staples of NYC’s stand-up scene.

Katherine Blanford is a shining star in Atlanta’s scene and showed exactly why, as well as repping for Atlanta comedy, on The Tonight Show last night. Blanford’s dazzling charisma, homespun, down-to-earth delivery, and her plentiful, sharply written punchlines put on quite the debut for a late night set (and we have no doubt that there will be more to come).

With that all said, please enjoy Katherine Blanford’s first Tonight Show set here.

Pick of the Day: Protected Under Parody: An Alamo Drafthouse Sketch Show (in LA) 8/6

With the continued absence of ArcLight, the impending opening of Vidiots, and more folks needing to know about Brain Dead Studios, the swath of very cool, indie movie theaters that did just more than just show movies.

The Alamo Drafthouse in DTLA is actually one such theater, especially because, this Saturday, they’ll be doing a very, very, very special, exclusive sketch comedy show with many of LA’s finest from all corners of sketch, clowning, etc. to do a mash-up of cult movie darlings, Empire Records and Donnie Darko.

The likes of Ekeme Ekanem, Eli Leonard, Elijah Taylor, Ian Abramson, Ian Farley, Jon Barnett, Matt Catanzano, Luke Rampersad, Natasha Mercado, Nikki Black, and Victor Torres will be putting up this wild show at, arguably, the perfect venue to have it at.

As if that wasn’t enough, Jonathan Lipnicki will be joining in on the mash-up extravaganza AND the show itself will be free attend (after you find out where to park downtown).

Called Protected Under Parody: An Alamo Drafthouse Sketch Show, it’ll be all going up at Sat. Aug. 6th at 7:30PM PT at The Video Vortex inside of Alamo Drafthouse. Get more details here and then set a reminder on your calendar.

Even after almost 50 years of being around, one of the best ways to get in at The Comedy Store to get your name on the wall is working the door at the world famous comedy club. Alex Hanna is one such comedian on his way, starting from every indie crevice in the LA scene and then chancing upon one of the few open spots to both develop at The Comedy Store and work the door. From his vantage point, we chat about the state of The Comedy Store these days and how, if you can believe, live comedy is healthy (depending on who you are) in Summer 2022.

Also, “hot” takes on Everybody Hates Chris getting an animated series, whether SNL should end at 50, and more.

david gborie, elysian, la comedy, stand up comedy

Pre-pandemic, the brilliant, hysterical, and just undeniably gregarious David Gborie lit up stages across LA all the time with a million dollar smile and comedic takes on the world that were both 1000% honest, but so fun and inclusive at the same time.

In the midst of pandemic times, Gborie has since relocated to Denver and carved quite the spot for himself in that scene. While that leaves a David Gborie size hole in our hearts, we’re thrilled and thankful to hear that Gborie is coming back for a night to headline The Elysian.

Thurs. Sept. 15th at 7:30PM PT, David Gborie will indeed do time and you shouldn’t miss a single second of it. Tickets are $18 and you can and very much should go get them here.

Whether you know her from her unflinchingly observed and razor sharp stand-up or her even more exacting comedic perspective on her show Pause with Sam Jay or seeing her writing on SNL, Sam Jay is one of those rare comedians that is actually deserving of being described as a force of nature.

Sam Jay changes the energy the whole room whenever she’s on stage and is mastered at using tension to the perfect comedic degree, which is why you shouldn’t miss your chance to see her headline live at Caroline’s on Broadway this month.

OK, Here’s Your Actual First Look at the Fourth and Final Season of Atlanta

News

atlanta, donald glover, final season, fx, trailer

A few weeks ago, we caught a vibe of what the fourth and final season of Atlanta would be like, but it wasn’t any actual scenes from what’s to come. It was just a very, trippy, albeit, on-brand announcement teaser (though we wouldn’t be surprised if there are hints as to what will happen when Earn, Paper Boi, Darius, and Van all return from their tour in Europe).

Well, you can wonder a little less as the official trailer just dropped and we all get a real good look at how either everything’s changed back home, with them, and with the world (through Glover’s very sharply drawn lens).

Take a gander here, then get ready for this last round of Atlanta on FX on Sept. 15th (next day onHulu)

Daniels Are Going from “Everything Everywhere All at Once” to a Showtime Pilot “Mason”

August 1, 2022

News

daniels, nathan min, showtime

(via THR)

For how much the box office is being propped up by studio tentpoles and franchise favorites from the MCU or Top Gun: Maverick, it should be noted that the completely original, literally out-of-this-world genre-bending comedy, Everything Everywhere All at Once has exceeded expectations as A24’s highest grossing movies ever, just surpassing $100 million globally as of this post.

Daniels, the creative filmmaking duo of Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, are riding that much deserved success from their work/the most original movie in recent memory all the way to a pilot order from Showtime that will continue in their surrealist mode. This time, the Daniels will explore the world of “a quiet man named Nathan” whose name is often misheard as Mason, while trying to connect “…in a loud world”.

So, there is hope in original stories after all and it’s thrilling to know that Daniels are leading the charge in regards to that. Between Swiss Army Man and Everything Everywhere All at Once, the pair of them have done some of the most delightful bonkers, out-there cinematic storytelling we’ve seen in the last couple of decades. Wherever Mason ends up going, we have no doubt that it’ll actually be unlike anything we’ve seen before (as opposed to that being a well-worn pull quote for run-of-the-mill action adventure movie).

Oh yeah, Showtime better pick this up especially since they just lost one of their biggest slices of their comedy programming, Desus & Mero.

The early show is already sold out with a wait list available for sign-up, but you can buy tickets for the late Sarah Squirm show at 10 for $18.60 right now right here.

Long ago, in the Summer of 2019, Julio Torres, Ana Fabrega, and Fred Armisen unleashed the horror fantasy comedy series Los Espookys into the world. The mesh of all those genres were only starting to come into prominence (and What We Do in the Shadows definitely hadn’t gotten its due yet) and Los Espookys, especially with the original voices of Torres and Fabrega, was truly unlike anything that had been on television before.

The macabre has never been this trippy and funny and, on this side of the pandemic, it might be the perfect thing for Summer 2022. You can see for yourself in the first look at season 2 here, which is finally coming over 3 years after its series premiere.

Megan Gailey and Emily Heller Sports Show Comedy in the Works at Amazon

(via Deadline)

One aspect of sports that comedy hasn’t touched too much on is the actual reporting of it. Eons ago, there was the wondrous meta web series Mayne Street with Kenny Mayne, featuring the one and only Jon Glaser as a go-to cameraman.

Megan Gailey and Emily Heller are putting together a series for Amazon that will satirize sports coverage between a die hard female sports fan and a far-past-his-prime, former pro basketball player that have “history”. There’s no word as to any sort of cast at this point, but we have hard time imagining a more perfect role for the hysterical Megan Gailey than rowdy-fan-turned-sports-reporter. In fact, that might be the best way for America to fall in love with Gailey if they haven’t done so already from her set on Conan or her album My Dad Paid For This.

Also, if you love Barry at all, you’ve been enjoying some of the writing of the brilliant Emily Heller and this combo of her and Gailey ought to, we hope, equal a series order from Amazon sooner rather than later.

Tall tales at a slow burn are Rachel Kaly‘s speciality and there’s almost no one that does it quite like Rachel. It’s always a simultaneously spellbinding, yet laid-back journey that Kaly takes any and all of her audiences on.

The idea that Rachel is going to explicitly do something “weird” she be even more incentive to any level of curiosity to any sort of comedy fan to go out and find out what the hell she has up her sleeves (especially since they’re probably short sleeves on a t-shirt). Rachel is not only doing an album recording in Brooklyn at Gowanus’ secret performance venue Life World, but she’s is going, as we alluded to, “weird”, which will no doubt keep you guessing even as you’re watching the show in the most delightful way possible.

So, That Just Happened with Rachel Kaly is happening this Sat. Jul. 30th at 7PM ET and you better snag your tickets right now. They’re only $7 and it’s probably the best bargain you’re going to get in all of NYC this weekend. Go get them here.

A LA comedy and indie film institution, Channel 101, had gone virtual and adapted even further to going for audio series during quarantine/lockdown. The long-standing completely indie-run, short form TV series was started by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab and has been a torch that has kept much of the most experimental and fiercely imaginative comedy and genre-bending programming that has ever been made.

Community, Rick and Morty, and Harmontown are all proud hallmarks for Dan Harmon that will likely stand the test of a very long time. So, naturally, whatever he’s on to next will be so highly anticipated that there’s probably not even a fully accurate metric for it. Krapopolis, his latest series that will premiere on Fox next year, is no exception even though it feels like we’ve heard about it being in the works for years now.

Krapopolis will follow an attempt by Greek gods to not run one of the world’s first cities into the ground. Both Greek mythology and history point towards plenty of narrative that is ripe for Harmon’s blazing, searing, meta-satirical style. You can see for yourself in this first look, unveiled at SDCC, here.

Atlanta Announces Final Season to Premiere in September with Very Trippy Teaser

News

atlanta, fx, hulu, premiere date, season 4, teaser

What started as a dramedy about coming up in the rap game in Atlanta has become something so expansive in its artistic scope that it’s hard to truly define or categorize in most traditional ways. Donald Glover’s vision for dissecting race, class, and the history of the two that we all carry with us has been electrifying and why Atlanta has been an award winner right out of the gate.

The reverberations of these past three seasons of the series have already had a ripple effect in terms of what TV could be a doing away with any sort of previously enshrined rules of narrative or genre. We have no doubt that’ll be the case for season 4 of Atlanta especially with an announcement teaser that features Coconut Crunchies falling from the sky, striped gators, an ostrich being born and grown to adulthood in mere seconds, the inverse of a mic drop, and more.

See for yourself here, then get hooked for the fourth and final season of Atlanta when September comes around (thank goodness we don’t have to wait another indefinite amount of years between seasons).

You’re well aware that it’s actually quite the rarity to see a legitimate hour set from a comedian while in LA or NYC. Stage time is such a scarce resource for an ever growing number of comedians that you should take the chance, if you can find it, to go watch someone do an hour rather than one of their handful of ten minute sets they’re doing around town.

For all the attitude, style, spunk, and wit that both Greta Titelman (Search Party) and Matt Rogers (I Love That For You, Fire Island) bring to the stage, you should really never miss a set of theirs. Lucky for LA, they’re co-headlining back to back at the one and only Hollywood Improv next month.

Mark down Fri. Aug. 5th at 8PM PT for having an evening on Melrose and watching Greta and Matt take over the Improv’s Main Room. Tickets are $25 (plus 2 item min.) and don’t be surprised if it sells out soon. Go get ’em here ASAP.
