News
brandon wardell, Caleb Hearon, david gborie, elysian, fred armisen, girl god, ian karmel, la comedy, lance bangs, moses storm, natalie palamides, reggie watts, stand up comedy

If you Google “Lance Bangs”, you’ll first read that he’s an American Filmmaker. While that’s very true, Bangs is also a curator of the underground, seeking out those thrilling voices, often in and around comedy that you hope to bare witness to at a live comedy and/or music show. Having worked with the likes of Jackass to Tyler the Creator to Marc Maron to Nirvana to George Harrison to John Hodgman to his latest work on Moses Storm’s acclaimed HBO special, Trash White, Bangs is one of the most respected figures behind the scenes.

So, the fact that he’s curating a very special night of comedy at The Elysian come Fri. Sept. 2nd should be something you mark down on your calendar immediately, right after you immediately get tickets.

The line-up features some of the best folks he’s worked with that happen to be some of the best, most clever, most subversive, funny voices in comedy.

That includes:

  • Fred Armisen
  • Reggie Watts
  • Girl God
  • Natalie Palamides
  • Caleb Hearon
  • Moses Storm
  • Brandon Wardell
  • Ian Karmel
  • David Gborie

It’s such a stellar line-up and you can see all of that for only $20. Go get your tickets for Lance Bangs Presents @ The Elysian on 9/2 right here.

nick nemeroff

Nick Nemeroff spent a precious window of time of his life and comedy career in LA. For all the run-ins that we’ve had with him in and around the scene, Nick would be a delightful, extremely clever breath of understated fresh air. In reading various news or scrolling through various dedications to him on social media, you might have heard praises of how sweet and kind he was and those were 100% true.

Also, Nemeroff was one of the few that dutifully carried the one-liner comedian torch and very much did that side of stand-up comedy very proud. His deftly low key delivery and his spot-on pauses were the perfect accents to his MC Escher-esque writing. Please listen, enjoy, and spread the gospel of his debut album The Pursuit of Comedy Has Ruined My Life.

Nemeroff passed away from us all far too early at 32 and let’s please remember him far into the future where he should have been looking back at several successful hour specials.

Here’s a Red Band Trailer for Lena Dunham’s Latest “Sharp Stick”
June 24, 2022
News
lena dunham, red band trailer, sharp stick

It has been 5 years since HBO bid farewell to Lena Dunham’s Girls and that same amount of time since there has been something to hit the big or small screen from Dunham. In many ways, she was a crucial part in the arrival of this wave of dramedy that we’re all still very much riding and bringing a new level of gravitas to explicitly sexual material in a comedy series.

Sharp Stick, a brand new original movie from Dunham, is both a return for Lena to being at the helm and a big screen. With a grounded, yet organically funny take on sex and relationships in mind, Lena might have made her most daring work to date following the other woman taking part in an extramarital affair.

Take a gander for yourself at what’s to come with Sharp Stick’s red band trailer here.

Then, look for Sharp Stick in NY & LA on Jul. 29th and across the country on Aug. 5th.

Pick of the Day: No Fuss Comedy Bus-Pro Roe Comedy Show (in LA) 6/25 & 7/9

News
Alice Payne, Audrey Stewart, dj demers, heather pasternak, Hunter Hill, iliza shlesinger, Jodi Miller, Kimberlee Clark, Laura Peek, Matty Chymbor, Matty Fontana, Renee Percy

Roe vs. Wade just got overturned, so, it should stand to reason that you ought to go to a comedy show that supports abortion funds in states where it’s very likely that abortion will be made illegal outright.

Lucky for you that there is one this Saturday Jun. 25th in LA, No Fuss Comedy Bus’ Pro Roe Comedy Show that’s raising money for the Texas Equal Access Fund. The show itself will be in North Hollywood at 6440 Lankershim Blvd. at 7:30PM PT and feature many LA comedy stalwarts including Iliza Shlesinger, Hunter Hill, Audrey Stewart, Matty Chymbor, Laura Peek, Matty Fontana, Jodi Miller, and more!

They’ve got a July 9th show lined up as well with Heather Pasternak, DJ Demers, Kimberlee Clark, Renee Percy, Alice Payne, and more TBA.

It’s pretty cut and dry why you should go. You can (and absolutely should) get tickets starting at $30 here.

However, you can just donate to TEAfund.org if you can’t make it.

Here’s Sam Bee’s Even-More-Relevant-Now Field Piece About Having Legal Abortions in Anti-Choice States
June 24, 2022
News
federal lands, full frontal, legal abortions, roe v wade, samantha bee

The Supreme Court of the United States, though not dedicated to upholding the will of the people, are certainly defying it these days, especially with its latest decisions on gun control and abortion. This morning’s official overturning of Roe vs. Wade is a tragic shot to what was largely thought to be inalienable rights to one’s body in America.

With the potential of Roe vs. Wade being overturned, Full Frontal with Sam Bee came up with the incredibly clever segment for the new dystopia we live in where a possible legal loophole could offer abortion access in those super-Christian states where abortion is probably already illegal as you read this.

While it’s satirical in nature, this might be a new reality for us all. Watch/laugh/feel alright with this Full Frontal with Samantha Bee abortion segment here.

Meg Stalter Might Be Getting Her Very Own HBO Max Show “Church Girls”

News
church girls, hbo, hbo max, Meg Stalter

(via THR)

Turns out that Meg Stalter’s turn as Kayla in HBO Max’s jewel original series, Hacks, stole so many scenes that HBO Max is giving her a pilot for her very own show.

Called Church Girls, this comedy pilot will be somewhat based off Stalter’s life as a closeted Ohio Christian girl, but undoubtedly have Stalter’s charming chaos woven all throughout it since she is co-writing it.

If you want to get a taste of what Meg does when given her own show, go and binge her wildly fun and demented podcast, Confronting Demons. We hope that sort of energy finds its way into Church Girls, then results in a series order so more of the world can marvel at one of the purest expressions of chaotic good in all of comedy.

fx, season 4, trailer, what we do in the shadows

The best/only vampires in Staten Island and their familiar all return to save us all from, well, a world without more What We Do In The Shadows in it. Truly, any time in between seasons is far too long to not spend with Nandor, Nadja, Laslo, Colin Robinson, and Guillermo and their vampiric antics that are largely trying to live their undead lives as best they can versus world domination.

This particular season will see Nandor once again redouble his efforts for finding love, a baby Colin Robinson, and the opening of their very own nightclub in order for the vampires to have a little more fun without risk of the sun.

Take a gander at season 4 of What We Do In the Shadows here, then get ready to sink your teeth in every week on FX starting Tues. Jul. 12th (and on Hulu the day after).

Jon Stewart Correctly Warns of Threat to Comedy Being Authoritarianism, Not ‘Woke Police’ in Mark Twain Prize Speech
June 23, 2022
News
jon stewart, mark twain prize, speech

When it was announced that Jon Stewart would be this year’s recipient of The Mark Twain Prize Humor, we said he was the most deserving winner of said award in a very long time.

Jon Stewart, a true icon of modern comedy/political comedy, made good on that notion in his acceptance speech during the annual ceremony held, once more in person, at The Kennedy Center. Stewart weaved plenty of laughs through dedications and thanking the folks honoring him, then reached what the earned-soapbox-moment about comedy not being under threat within the context of cancel culture, but, rather, despots, authoritarians, fascists, etc. that seek to silence and censor any sort of criticism or deviation from their grand vision for their world.

Checking power via comedy with The Daily Show and now, The Problem with Jon Stewart, has been at the core of so much of Stewart’s comedy (even if that power is Arby’s). Again, that’s why he’s the most deserving Mark Twin Prize winner in many, many years.

See all of that for yourself with Jon Stewart’s Mark Twain Prize speech here.

The issue of identity in comedy is more prevalent than perhaps it has ever been in comedy.

Justice John Hodgman has always stood for the people where other courts, whether government sanctioned or simply on daytime television, fall short. This Summer, the Honorable Justice John Hodgman is coming to the people more than he ever has with a big live episode at NYC’s venerable Lincoln Center.

The problems that are very valid, but other lawyers and legal professionals would deem to banal for a courtroom will be heard by Hodgman and his bailiff Jesse Thorn on Wed. Jun. 29th at 8PM ET. Best of all, this show is completely FREE to attend (a true treat when it comes to being at the Lincoln Center). You can just show up or snag one of a limited amount of advance reservations.

Also, if you would like the chance to have your day in Hodgman’s court and solve that nagging problem that all your friends don’t want to hear about anymore in front of big NYC live audience, submit your claim here.

Currently, you can stream seasons 1 and 2 on cwtv.com and, if you’re jonesin’ for anything remotely close to WWDS like we are, you’re going to want to get in on all three seasons over and over and over.

Pick of the Day: Fun & Dumb Improv Festival (in NYC) 7/8-7/10

News
brooklyn, brooklyn comedy collective, fun and dumb improv festival, improv comedy, nyc comedy
The danger of gathering in close proximity over the last couple of years has been devastating to live performance, especially when it comes to long form improvisational comedy. Improv is a major pillar to live comedy and flourished before lockdown, but has only just recently been finding its footing on this side of the pandemic having to deal with venue closures, performers moving away, etc.
Thankfully, the Brooklyn Comedy Collective is cooking up a celebratory return for improv in full force, which is great to hear since we have no idea if and when the next Del Close Marathon will be. From July 8th-10th, BCC will have over 80 shows from not only from NYC, but all around the globe to perform on their stages deep in Brooklyn. That’ll include such renowned teams as BABY WANTS CANDY, LADIES WHO RANCH, BORABISH, SHAMILTON, and way more! You can check out the entire schedule here.
“Fun and Dumb is all about bringing the improv community back together,” says BCC Artitistic Director Philip Markle. “We’re thrilled to have teams joining us all the way from Berlin & Chicago – as well as the other NYC comedy theaters like The Squirrel, Magnet, The PIT, Rubbish Comedy, and the former Upright Citizens Brigade.”
Day passes are going for $20 and you can (and very much should) go snag them here.

Nathan Fielder Officially Returns to TV on Jul. 15th with “The Rehearsal”
June 17, 2022
News
hbo, nathan fielder, the rehearsal

Nathan For You is now and will forever be noted as a lightning bolt to the TV landscape when its titular Nathan, Nathan Fielder blurred so many tones and genres for something that was beyond both comedy and performance art, but always endlessly enthralling.

Since the end of Nathan For You, we’ve only gotten flashes of Fielder with things like his Summit Ice jackets that fought anti-semitism and How To with John Wilson, but have waited for his unflappable face and demeanor to be squarely in front of a camera. Thanks to HBO, that time is just under from a month from now with The Rehearsal.

Fielder is going to have “rehearsals” for life to allow folks to practice before going out and perhaps risking everything in the world. It feels like an idea that might have been too grand for a single episode of Nathan For You, but very much in the spirit of such acts as Nathan rehearsing how to say, “I love you.” You can see in the promo art that Nathan is surrounded by either life sized human figurines or maybe animatronic humans that will simulate real life scenarios. While it’s a straightforward-enough premise right now, one can only ponder what über-clever twist Fielder has up his sleeve and, with that in mind, Jul. 15th can’t come soon enough.

For the purposes of both profit and avoiding the projected fear of being canceled, corporations across every stock exchange have gone all in on showing their investment into queer inclusivity by redoing their logos, pumping out loads of rainbow emblazoned merchandise, and, above all, making sure that their social media accounts are showing LGBTQ+ support.

Often, it becomes more about them than actually celebrating Pride itself, which is why two of NYC’s leading queer comedians, Jes Tom and Tess Skara, are presenting a “Brand Affiliated* (*not actually affiliated with any Brands)” comedy and drag show at The Bell House on Sun. Jun. 26th at 7:30PM PT.

Showing their corporate pride for PRIDE will be more stellar LGBTQ+ comedians including:

  • Hannah Einbinder
  • Spike Einbinder
  • Jess Henderson

Please Enjoy Caleb Hearon’s Recounting Being Perfectly Roasted by a Child
June 16, 2022
News
Caleb Hearon, comedy central, stand up comedy

The fact that Caleb Hearon doesn’t have any sort of album or special is borderline criminal. Hearon is one of the sharpest comics on stage these days and if you haven’t gone and seen him yet, that is also borderline criminal. Hearon has a polish and panache and a sensibility balanced between acerbic and aspirational. Again, go see him take the mic wherever you can, even if it’s out of your way.

For now, in this moment, you’ll have to settle with Hearon’s Comedy Central Featuring set that just dropped today. It’s just a taste of Hearon’s comedy stylings, but it’s a great one that has the story of being comedically skewered by a student of his (ironic considering Hearon’s own roasting skills in his youth)

There was a short window of time where we feared that Tuca & Bertie might have come to abrupt end as the almighty algorithm at Netflix deemed it not worthy for another season and Lisa Hanawalt’s dream show might not get live out its wildest fantasies (that’s saying something considering how many fantastical things happen on the shows such as sexy, sentient plants).

Thank goodness to Adult Swim giving it, honestly, its proper home and letting us all see where Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as best bird friends forever will end up, often going through more raw emotional moments than some live action dramedy shows currently on air.

While Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez made it out alive for season 1 of Only Murders in the Building (because, of course, there has to be a few more seasons before they have something extremely drastic happen), they certainly didn’t escape unsullied. Steve Martin is throwing more flies into the ointment with season 2 of the thriller/comedy that might be scratching that itch that Search Party gave you with a competing murder podcast to Only Murders in the Building in the universe of the show and just happening to be tagged as prime suspects in the murder of yet another tenant of The Arconia.

The teaser mainly just gave you the great row of guest stars, but see where Martin and Short’s potentially fatal hijinks land them with the full season 2 trailer here, then look for the series premiere on Hulu on Tues. Jun. 28th.

Though, technically, Summer doesn’t officially start until a week from now, it definitely feels like it’s here (thanks to climate change?). That definitely means there’s plenty of outdoor happenings that you can (and should) attend, especially in places that have seasons that aren’t LA.

For NYC, the season for live events at the man made treasure Little Island (near Chelsea/Meat Packing District) is subsequently upon as well and they’ve got big comedy show to help kick off this round of programming. NYLaughs, a wonderful org putting up free comedy shows all around the city, is putting up Gina Yashere, Kenice Mobley, LeClerc Andre, and Joyelle Johnson this Thurs. Jun. 16th at 9:30PM ET at Little Island.

That’s the sort of line-up you’d normally have to pay a 2 drink minimum for while packed in tight as possible in a dark, cramped room. Instead, you can watch this completely for free while pretty much standing on the Hudson.
