Comedy Dynamics Rereleases Richard Jeni Catalogue on iTunes

August 17, 2014
Uncategorized
comedy dynamics, itunes, richard jeni

Richard Jeni, who passed tragically and too early like Robin Williams did this week, will, at the very least, have his comedy live on in four albums from four of his specials on iTunes.

A Good Catholic Boy, Platypus Man, Richard Jeni’s Bits, and the posthumously released The Beach Crowd are now all available thanks to Comedy Dynamics. The Beach Crowd is cut from years of performances at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA and really shows Jeni in his element. 

Definitely make this part of your comedy library.

As your various social media feeds have been most likely filled with some sort of pictures or articles about what looks like a war zone in Ferguson, MO over the killing of the unarmed Michael Brown, one would hope that such a biting, satirical comedy news program as Last Week with John Oliver would cover this story to hopefully ease some of the confusion and bring levity, of any degree, to the matter.

Well, last night, Oliver did just that in his main segment. Watch it here.

The award winning Brooklyn Nine-Nine is returning for its second season on Sept. 28th 8:30PM on Fox, but you can get a first look now of what might happen for the series sophomore turn.

Somehow, The Disney Channel’s Phineas and Ferb continues to be a children’s cartoon that, like Adventure Time, is something that adults can get into. 

For an upcoming Halloween special episode, they will be having Simon Pegg and Nick Frost play Shaun and Ed from the awesome zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, which should be to the delight of all of us grown ups who aren’t going to a party or don’t have to take someone trick or treating.

If you follow the great Dave Hill on Twitter, and you absolutely should, you’re probably a fan of his “erotic short stories”. Even if you’re not, you’re about to become one from seeing Dave read them live with some sultry accompanying music played by Dave’s band Valley Lodge. Hopefully, some of this will make it on to his comedy album that’s taping next month.

Prepare to laugh and get horny simultaneously while watching.

The very funny Tony Baker has been making his way through the LA comedy scene and beyond for quite some time now. Finally, he’s recorded and released his first comedy album It’s a Lifestyle on iTunes for the whole world to enjoy, which came out on the same day as Nate Fridson’s Best Guy So Far and Dave Waite’s Hotdoggin’ last week.

Comedy is always best in threes, so, by that logic alone, you should pick up It’s a Lifestyle.

One of the best public access shows ever may be reaching its swan song soon. The Chris Gethard Show has been trying to evolve itself in order to keep the spirit that has driven its current acclaim and cult following. 

So, Gethard will be taking votes via calls on this week’s episode this Wed. to see if the people want the show to keep going. After that, the show will go on a hiatus for a few weeks, then return on Sept. 24th or not. 

No matter what happens, Gethard will be doing something in the latter part of Sept. that we should all be watching.

On Oct. 4th at 10PM, HBO will not only be airing the first special from the hysterical Jerrod Carmichael, but they will be actually airing the very first stand-up performance from Jerrod on TV ever.

It’s amazing that Jerrod will be make his televised stand-up debut on an HBO special presented by Funny or Die and there’s a very good reason for that. What we saw at the taping is what we’ve seen here in LA for years with Carmichael having such an ease and command of the stage at the same time, delivering his hard hitting jokes a relaxed subtlety. 

Here’s a promo for the special titled Love at The Store, taped live at The Comedy Store, directed by Spike Lee.

We hope that you been watching Hotwives of Orlando and been gleefully enjoying Andrea Savage as Veronica Von Vandervon as much as we have. 

With that in mind, we also hope you’ll now be excited for Savage joining the cast for a role opposite Matt LeBlanc for the entire next season of the award winning Episodes on Showtime.

We’re now curious to see if she’ll keep the same great, overly posh accent she has on Hotwives given the presence of British writers on Episodes.

AMC’s only comedy pilot currently in contention, We Hate Paul Revere, keeps getting more enticing. Not only is the premise of the folks hating American folk hero Paul Revere incredibly intriguing, but they already have  Ron Livingston cast as Paul Revere and Spoils of Babylon’s Matt Piedmont directing.

Now, 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit has now been added to the cast as Sam Adams. Fingers crossed that this gets picked up so we can, at the very least, all just see what this looks like.
