Comedy Gives Back Launched BIPOC COVID-19 Stand Up Relief Fund for February

February 9, 2021

BIPOC, comedy gives back, relief fund

Comedy Gives Back started early on in the pandemic with giving relief to comedians that were and would continue to be out of work. In fact, they did a gigantic 8 hour live-stream marathon to raise money for said relief fund.

While that was a big chunk of money that got spread out, they’re still very much on a mission to support comedians out of work in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically for the month of February, Comedy Gives Back is dedicated to issuing 400 BIPOC specific COVID-19 Stand Up Relief Grants. They actually popped into our weekly Office Hours on Clubhouse and said that there’s still plenty of free money from this fund to be given out if you qualify (i.e. you’re a BIPOC comedian and made money doing stand-up comedy above a certain threshold).

You can apply for this grant or, if you’re a saint of comedy, donate to the relief fund here. Note that you can apply for this grant even if you have received relief from their general fund.

adam pally, al corado, atsuko okatsuka, blair socci, chelsea devantez, chris garcia, christina catherine martinez, garrick bernard, jon gabrus, madison shepard, paul scheer, yassir lester

Believe it or not, there are actually a lot of great choices for comedy live-streams for this Valentine’s Day weekend. Even though that’s the case, one of the best line-ups just also happens to be a fundraiser for a crucial LA City Council.

Truly progressive candidate Al Corado is running to unseat District 13 incumbent Mitch O’Farrell on a platform of defunding the police, housing all unhoused people in Los Angeles, and in a Green New Deal. To raise money for his campaign, the hysterical and one of the all-time-best on Twitter Yassir Lester will be leading of a stellar line-up of:

Blair Socci
Atsuko Okatsuka
Adam Pally
Paul Scheer
Jon Gabrus
Garrick Bernard
Madison Shepard
Chris Garcia
Christina Catherine Martinez
Chelsea Devantez

See how stacked that is? If you’re going in on one comedy live-stream this weekend, this should be one of your top choices if not your top choices.

Valentine’s with Yassir is set for Fri. Feb. 12th at 8PM PT/11PM ET. Tickets start at $5 and go up to $500+. Go get tickets here.

Fox’s Latest Animated Comedy Will Be Set in Mythical Ancient Greece from Dan Harmon & Bento Box

February 8, 2021

adult animation, bento box entertainment, dan harmon, fox

With Dan Harmon’s track record at this point, odds are that you’ll catch whatever animated comedy that’s he putting out. The sheer domination of Rick & Morty across television is enough hold up this claim.

So, Fox is betting big on this notion as they have given a series order to a Harmon series that will be produced by acclaimed animation studio Bento Box Entertainment (the folks behind Bob’s Burgers). You can see that Harmon has built quite the sandbox to play with (and alternatively destroy and reframe) with the show’s setting in mythical Ancient Greece following mortals, gods, and monsters trying desperately to not ruin one of civilization’s first attempts at a city.

We can already imagine the whipsmart writing and the sort of play within and outside of the tomes of Greek Mythology. If you can think of Rick Sanchez as a flawed god, Harmon ought to have a field day with a whole crew of them.

An interesting tidbit to this series order is that Fox will own the whole series and thus broadcast it on their channels as well as funnel it through on the streaming end through their very own streaming service, Tubi. If you have followed the rise and fall of streaming of services in recent years, they do seem to depend on marquee shows (i.e. what would Disney Plus be without The Mandalorian and conversely, look what happened to Quibi).

Sure, you’ll be able to watch it on linear TV, but are you going to go in on another streaming service w/Tubi? We’ll just have to wait and see how fervent Harmon’s fans are in the next year and how good of a trailer they cut for the show.

Melissa Villaseñor Will Be This Year’s Independent Spirit Awards Host

February 8, 2021

melissa villaseñor, spirit awards

As to who they tap for the gig, The Independent Spirit Awards have a pretty good track record for who presides over their hosting duties including Patton Oswalt, Nick Kroll & John Mulaney, Sarah Silverman, Eddie Izzard, John Waters, and more.

Added to that list will be SNL star and truly endless delight no matter what voice or character she is playing, Melissa Villaseñor. Villaseñor’s uncanny impressions and endearing characters will serve her well throughout a Spirit Awards that will very likely be a mix of a limited capacity in-person event and a virtual live-stream since it will happen on Thurs. Apr. 22nd (and the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine will very likely still be a big issue then).

All that aside, we remember first seeing Melissa impersonate Owen Wilson far after midnight on the weekly madcap variety show, Tomorrow! w/Ron Lynch for the first time and suspecting that something big would be coming her way. We’re very glad that time has come.

Pick of the Day: Tinder Live with Lane Moore on Valentine’s Day

February 8, 2021

lane moore, tinder, tinder live, valentine's day

For all the feels that Valentine’s Day brings up normally (that are especially amplified by the isolation), one of the perfect shows for this particular lockdown tinged edition of Valentine’s Day is Lane Moore‘s wildly fun Tinder Live!

If you’re unfamiliar, Lane makes a show out of navigating through Tinder, matching and messaging folks of all kinds and following wherever those rabbit holes lead, narrating the whole way through. It was one of the most fun things to see before the pandemic and we think it’ll be one of the best livestreams to catch on Valentine’s no matter what you’re situation is (i.e. quarantining with or without someone).

This round of Tinder Live! is set for Sun. Feb. 14th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets/live-stream access are $20 and you very much should go snag them here.

Comedian Munawar Faruqui Gets Bail After 35 Days in Indian Jail on Suspicion of Jokes He Might Tell

February 5, 2021

india, indian comedy, manuwar faruqui

The issue of free speech and how far it can go, especially in regards to comedy, will very likely never end. That being said, different parts of the world are not so far along in that ongoing debate.

Due to the official complaint of a politician’s son in India, Munawar Faruqui was arrested under suspicion that he was going to tell some of his jokes that were deemed offensive to Hindus. Faruqui reportedly didn’t include any such material in his set the night of the arrest, but that didn’t stop authorities from detaining him for 5 weeks before he was granted bail.

That night, Mr Faruqui and four others, including another comic, were arrested and charged with outraging religious feelings and performing a “negligent act likely to spread infection of diseases dangerous to life”, alluding to the pandemic.

The limits of speech are a little more restrictive in India, if not a lot as you can see in this case, in regards to religious commentary compared to other parts of the world. Faruqui himself identifies as a Muslim, but claims he makes jokes that poke fun at all backgrounds. Faruqui was recently granted bail, but the prospect that he was not only arrested and put behind bars for making fun of Hindu gods, but on the prospect that he might do so as there is a history of him doing so in the past is scary and astounding in 2021.

When it comes to freedom of speech in comedy, everyone has to realize that it goes both ways. Comedians should be able to talk about any subject, but anyone listening/watching should be allowed to feel the way they do and express themselves in regards to the comedy they’re consuming.

No single comedian’s comedy will be for everyone (just remember that billions of people don’t even speak English) and, more often than not, the most distinguished comedians do not try to pander to the masses. Hopefully, that’s an arrangement that all of comedy can get to throughout every country within our lifetime.

Hulu’s Latest Comedy Will Be ‘Punk Ass Bitch’ From Chris Estrada & Creators of ‘Corporate’

February 5, 2021

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

This is about as great as news can get for us right now.

Corporate was one of our favorite shows in recent memory for its ruthlessly dark humor in the clothing of a workplace comedy. Chris Estrada has been and remains one of our favorite comedians to see on all sorts of stages in and around LA (when we could do that of course).

So, the fact that Hulu’s latest series will be from Jake Weisman, Pat Bishop, and Matt Ingebretson, the minds behind Corporate, with Chris Estrada starring has us (as can be during COVID-19) ecstatic. The series, marvelously titled Punk Ass Bitch, will very much be inspired by Estrada’s stand-up, which, again, has some of the best bits and punchlines that we’ve heard in recent memory, and will see Estrada go out of his way as a “punk ass bitch with a heart of gold” that won’t help himself, but will go above and beyond for everyone else.

There’s no premiere date yet, but it’s one more thing that we’re legitimately excited for in 2021 that has nothing to do with getting the vaccine.

Pick of the Day: American Cinematheque: A Virtual Conversation with Sacha Baron Cohen and Eric Idle 2/17

February 5, 2021

american cinematheque, eric idle, in conversation, interview, sacha baron cohen

When it comes to character comedy, Sacha Baron Cohen stands tall, both literally and figuratively, above so many others for his daring and commitment as Borat and Ali G in service of comedy and satire. Eric Idle remains a living legend as part of one of the most lauded comedy troupes of all time, Monty Python.

You’d very likely pay good money to see either of them do a Q&A, virtually or in-person. Lucky for you, American Cinematheque is hosting a special virtual conversation between Cohen and Idle this month where the two will dive into their work. Truly, it ought to be illuminating to see both just as themselves talking shop.

This virtual conversation is set for Wed. Feb. 17th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets for livestream access are FREE, but be sure to RSVP here.

Comedy Central Launches Black Comedy Docu-series “Dark Humor”

February 4, 2021

chloe hilliard, gina yashere, jordan temple, josh johnson, lil' rel, luenell, ms. pat, nore davis, open mike eagle, rae sanni, roy wood jr, sinbad, yamaneika saunders

As the art form of comedy continues to evolve, there have been plenty of documentaries and docu-series that examine how comedy, whether it be stand-up, sketch, improv, etc. has transformed over the decades. The examination of black comedians and their journey, often one that’s mutually exclusive from mainstream/white comedy, has not been as closely examined even though some of the most revered comedians of all time include Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock.

So, Comedy Central’s new digital series, Dark Humor, offers such a look into the experience of black stand-up comedians today and their work that’s reflective of their black experience. It’ll feature plenty of clips as well as interviews from the likes of Baron Vaughn, Tommy Davidson, Sinbad, Nore Davis, Ms. Pat, Sonia Denis, Chloe Hilliard, Lil Rel Howery, Yamaneika Saunders, Roy Wood Jr., Josh Johnson, Damien Lemon, Jordan Temple, Open Mike Eagle, Rae Sanni, Cipha Sounds, Gina Yashere, and more.

They just launched Dark Humor just as Black History Month started and new episodes will come out every Mon. on Comedy Central’s YouTube channel.

You can get a taste of Dark Humor both with the series trailer as well as the very first episode which dives into the deep end by going into black comedy and American politics.

Pick of the Day: The Daily Show Writers Standup Tour 2/12

February 4, 2021

kat radley, matt koff, Randall Otis, the daily show

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has maintained a socially distant almost from the get go of lockdown. Thus, their writers and correspondents have been very busy trying to comedically process 2020 and the acute insanity of 2021.

The celebrated, award-nominated writers, of course, have their own takes on everything that they’re going to get to finally share on an upcoming virtual stand-up tour. The Daily Show’s Kat Radley, Randall Otis, and Matt Koff will be specifically be taking the stage at Nowhere Comedy Club on Fri. Feb. 12th at 6PM PT/9PM ET.

Tickets are $10-$30 and you can (and should) get them here.

Please Enjoy Mike Birbiglia’s Full Interview on Conan (Which Includes Tales of Birbiglia Working for Jordan Schlansky)

February 3, 2021

conan, mike birbiglia, team coco

Even though the pandemic has prevented most comedians from touring in earnest, it’s still a hot ticket to go see Mike Birbiglia do a live-stream that’s probably one of the slickest looking set-ups for virtual comedy.

Luckily for us all, Mike has an almost 20 min. interview on Conan where you can marvel at his office/stand-up stage and an insider’s look at what working for the infamous Jordan Schlansky (Mike was an intern at Late Night with Conan O’Brien). As you might imagine, Schlansky is still on brand of being a pretentious android no matter who is telling a story about him.

Go and enjoy the entire conversation with Conan O’Brien here.

Coming next weekend, Mike has six shows for Working It Out coming up and two of them are already sold out. Go get tickets here.

Pick of the Day: Cammy <3's You! 2/13

February 3, 2021

cameron esposito, dynasty typewriter, valentine's day

The warmth and candor of Cameron Esposito, for our money, is pretty unmatched in all of comedy. Truly, an evening with Cameron Esposito that she shares stories/stand-up/etc. is one that you should most certainly take.

So, despite a card company popularizing Valentine’s Day, sanitizing it from its dark past, and forcing the world to go through perfunctory acts of affection, Valentine’s Day weekend could be just actually lovely with a special live-stream with Cameron Esposito via Dynasty Typewriter.

On Feb. 13th at 6PM PT/9PM ET, Valentine’s Day Eve, Cameron will be giving us just that with Cammy <3’s You! Tickets for live-stream access are $5-$10 and you can (and should) go get them here.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 45: Jessica Kelley & Managing the Spirit of Comedy

February 3, 2021

News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report

The hardship comedy has taken on during COVID-19 touches every single facet of the art form and industry. Yep, management has taken its knocks just like the talent that it represents. Thus, TCB’s Jake Kroeger zooms with Jessica Kelley of Avail Comedy who is one of our favorite comedy managers not only because of her lovely client list, but the fact that she was always out and about at shows almost as much as we were in the before times.

Jake and Jessica go over what she has figured out for her clients, the, for now, virtual audiences, and herself in the entirety of lockdown as well as what she has planned/envisioned ahead (spoiler alert: it’s actually encouraging). Also, “hot” takes on a new podcast about The Office, the first ABFF Comedy Festival, and Noah Baumbach’s exclusive deal at Netflix.

Find Jessica and everything she’s up to/putting on at availcomedy.com or @availcomedy on Twitter and IG.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Host Golden Globes for 4th Time, Simulcast from LA and NYC

February 2, 2021

amy poehler, golden globes, tina fey

Unlike so many more of the major awards ceremonies, the Golden Globes do not have a very long tradition of hosts and being a big televised to-do like the Primetime Emmys or the Oscars.

That being said, few award hosts have shined quite like the pairing of longtime comedy collaborators Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Up to 2015, they hosted the Golden Globes three consecutive times and were lauded for their performance, a rarity in the recent years of awards hosting. Of course, each had their own comedy and entertainment empires to tend to and retired from their roles hosting the ceremony.

Now, as COVID-19 has proven that it’s very likely to ruin most of 2021, the Golden Globes will have to be done remotely and virtually and they’re tapping Poehler and Fey once more as hosts to help navigate these uncharted waters. Fey and Poehler won’t even be in the same room for the occasion. Fey will be in NYC and Poehler here in LA, Beverly Hills in particular, co-hosting across the country, simulcast. We have faith that they’ll come up with some great bit about that.

Mostly, in a time where people desire what’s familiar and what they know has brought them comfort, it’s nice to see that Amy and Tina will take up the hosting mantle once more.

The Golden Globes is set to air live on Sun. Feb. 28th at 5PM PT/8PM ET.

OK, So We’re Going to Do Comedy Office Hours Weekly on Clubhouse

February 2, 2021

clubhouse, office hours

Last night, we attempted yet another open forum/discussion on comedy via the new app Clubhouse. It went so much better it did last year to the point that we’re enticed to do it on a weekly basis, especially since gathering in person safely to have these sorts of conversations is still far off in the future.

So, Mondays at 4PM PT/7PM ET, TCB’s own Jake Kroeger will be moderating the Comedy Office Hours room that will focus on how comedy of all kinds is/was/will be doing at such an unprecedented time as now. Hopefully, we’ll be able to solve all of comedy’s problems in just a couple hours?

FYI, Clubhouse is still invite only and only available through iOS. Those restrictions are beyond our control, but will definitely be open to all interested parties whenever those things open up.

Pick of the Day: Why Won’t You Date Me? with Nicole Byer 2/12

February 2, 2021

live podcast, nicole byer, on location live, team coco, why won't you date me

Combining how separated we all literally are and the impending arrival of 2021’s Valentine’s Day, it’s hard for us to think of a better comedy show to check out than the latest live-stream edition of Why Won’t You Date Me? with Nicole Byer.

Fresh off from a move to Team Coco, one of the best comedy/dating/sex/relationship/interview podcasts around has done just a handful of live-streams as lockdown persists and has this latest one set up for Fri. Feb. 12th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Also, you’ll have time to catch after the stream if you can’t tune in right then and there.

Tickets for this Valentine’s edition of Why Won’t You Date Me? with Nicole Byer are only $10.50 and you can and very much should get them here.

Watch Desus & Mero’s Return for Season 3 for Free

February 1, 2021

desus and mero, desus nice, late night, showtime, the kid mero

While hiatuses are normal for late night shows, even without a pandemic, the length of a given absence feels like years because there are so many colossal events happening in the world on top of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The renewed vitality that Desus & Mero specifically bring to late night as they are so radically different from everyone else in button downs and suits compounds that feeling. Thankfully, that time is over and the Bodega Boys are back at it for their third season, going over the news in the delightfully rambunctious way that ultimately brought them to Showtime.

Their third season just kicked off yesterday and, as they have pretty much been since their days at VICE, it’s a rollicking breath of fresh air. Courtesy of Showtime, you can see for yourself for FREE as their very first episode of this season with special guest Stacey Abrams is streaming on YouTube here.

Pick of the Day: Drunk Black History 2/26

February 1, 2021

Drunk History has been and remains one of the most satisfying ways important, often overlooked tales of history have ever been shared. As it’s officially February, Black History Month, it is thus the perfect time for some Drunk Black History.

Comedians Brandon Collins and Gordon Baker-Bone will be hosting a very special line-up of drunk black comedians attempting to tell some very important Black History stories via Zoom. The likes of Aminah Imani, Abbi Crutchfield, Brian Moses, and Derek Gaines will join Collins and Baker-Bone on this edition of Drunk Black History.

Drunk Black History will stream on Fri. Feb. 26th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on the day of. Go get them here for live-stream access right now.

American Black Film Festival to Launch Its Own Virtual Comedy Festival & Is Currently Taking Submissions

January 29, 2021

abff, abff comedy festival, american black film festival, kenya barris

Just because many comedy festivals are taking this year/another year off or maybe just doing a very scaled down virtual version of their festivities, doesn’t mean that some sort of new comedy festivals won’t come about.

Cast in point, the American Black Film Festival is launching their very first comedy festival to highlight comedians and comedy writers that are black and brown from Jun. 2nd-6th. Everything from stand-up to sketch to film, TV, and podcasts will be highlighted and Kenya Barris will even serve as the ambassador of this very 1st Annual ABFF Comedy Festival.

If you’re an “emerging black and brown comedic talent, creators, and performing artist” that has been waiting for something like this to come around, you’ll be happy to know that there’s an open call for submissions into one of the four competitions they have slated for this festival. The deadline to submit is Mar. 8th, FYI.

Get more info, buy early bird passes that go on sale on Feb. 8th, and more at abff.com/comedyfest/.

Noah Baumbach Signs Deal to Exclusively Write/Direct Films at Netflix for Awhile

January 29, 2021

netflix, noah baumbach

Count this as both a sign of the times and a big win in favor of Netflix. Getting lauded filmmaker Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha, Greenberg, Mistress America) to exclusively have his talents at the streaming giant and nowhere else bumps up Netflix’s profile in the critical eye for original movies and means that you’ll very likely get to see any and all of Baumbach’s upcoming work on Netflix in tandem with seeing it in a theater (whenever that’ll be happen in 2021).

Baumbach’s last film, Marriage Story, rolled out in limited release (so it can be considered for the Oscars and other awards) and on Netflix and it would seem that will be the plan for Baumbach going forward for awhile. We wouldn’t be surprised to see other beloved indie filmmakers signing such deals at other streaming services since the fate of movie theaters remains uncertain (save for the now-Netflix-owned Egyptian Theatre).

There is such a backlog of big studio releases that will very likely dominate the multiplexes, even the ones that have dozens of screens, that will leave room for those critically acclaimed dramedies that are, usually, the only way comedy gets any sort of artistic reception these days.

All of that said, we do have a guarantee that Baumbach will be churning out movies in the not so distant future and that’s just one more little thing to look forward amidst the din of everything else right now.

Pick of the Day: Sarah Silverman 3/6

January 29, 2021

comedy livestream, rushtix, sarah silverman

Since lockdown last year, odds are that you haven’t gotten to see any of your favorite comedians save for a small appearance on a charity benefit live-stream here or there. Some exceptions exist of course (Maria Bamford, Judah Friedlander, Jackie Kashian), but seeing many of the top shelf comedians for at least an hour has been quite a rarity for the last several months.

Thus, we’re giving you a heads up on the one and only Sarah Silverman doing an exclusive live-stream via Rushtix where she’ll be getting into a rather candid talk with the virtual audience. Silverman, as she wonderfully did in person in the before times, will take in questions and comments throughout the live-stream, making it even more intimate than just watching her do a set.

This Sarah Silverman live-stream is set for Sat. Mar. 6th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets are $20 and you can (and should) go get them here.

Please Enjoy the Pure Ridiculousness of the Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar Trailer

January 28, 2021

annie mumulo, barb and star go to vista del mar, kristen wiig

If you’ve ever really wished for Kristen Wiig do whatever the hell she wants for an entire feature length film, that time might have come. Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar is written by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumulo and also stars the duo as two Midwestern best friends embarking from a small town on a dream vacation.

Such a premise leaves a very wide canvas they get to play with and, from the looks of the trailer, it really looks as though Wiig and Mumulo really take advantage of that to the upcoming delight of us all. Honestly, we’re just not going to say anymore and let the magical silliness of Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar wash over you here.

Look for its release, wherever that may be, on Fri., Feb. 12th.

Pick of the Day: Channel 101 Jan. 2021 Screening 1/30

January 28, 2021

channel 101, indie tv, short form

Channel 101, the vaunted, long-standing indie short form TV series is still standing strong as we head towards a year of being locked down due to COVID-19. Though virtual, they’ve been as active as they have ever been with their monthly screenings (in addition to whole new audio series program they started a few months back).

Their first screening for 2021 is set for this Saturday with an early and late screening at 8PM PT/11PM ET and 10PM PT/1AM ET respectively. You can tune into this brand spankin’ new edition of Channel 101 on their Twitch at twitch.tv/channel101official/.

Also, note that you can (and maybe should) always submit your own Channel 101 pilot to enter into the Channel 101 fray. Get more info on that here.

Merging of Late Night and Sketch Comedy Emmy Categories Sparks Ire and a Joint Letter

January 27, 2021

controversy, emmys, late night, sketch comedy

Comedy already comes up with the short straw during awards season and it looks like it’s going to get more unfair with the Emmys, as of this year, combining the nominees in late night comedy and sketch comedy together rather than have their own separate categories as was the rule for so long.

Networks and showrunners are set to submit a letter to the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences to reverse the change for the upcoming Primetime Emmys.

It might seem like a niche issue, especially during a pandemic, but, again, the squeezing of recognition for comedy at a major awards is worrisome in the long run. Also, for those who aren’t aware, late night may have sketches here and there, but it’s definitely its own realm that is decidedly different in tone, pacing, and format to any sort of sketch comedy series. Would you really pit Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Late Night with Seth Meyers against A Black Lady Sketch Show I Think You Should Leave or Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun?

If you would, then we’d kindly ask you to think about the potential notoriety and opportunity that could come for writers/showrunners/the shows themselves from having separate awards for late night and sketch and how much that could do for pushing comedy forward. Very seriously, how is there supposed to be room for great newcomers in late night like Desus & Mero if the field is dominated by perennial favorites like Colbert and SNL?

Reportedly, this controversy might even lead to a boycott of the Emmys (if they have to be done over Zoom again or in some sort of weird pre-taped, socially distanced way, would very likely be more exciting than the ceremony itself).

This year’s Primetime Emmys are usually held in September, so there is time for this to change and we’ll definitely keep you in the loop if that happens.

Pick of the Day: Syd Can Cook: The Birthday Show 1/31

Not only will there be a whole bunch of special guests giving Sydnee the business while she cooks so much food up at once, but it will be her birthday where she will be “…turning 35 again.” Karolena Theresa will be by Sydnee’s side to serve up the full Syd Can Cook experience. It’s absolutely what you should be looking forward to this Sunday as another week in quarantine passes.
