Even though it’s a rather new addition to the comedy documentary genre, Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11 is one of the best examinations on the art form of comedy. Following the progression of healing with the country as correlated with jokes about one of the most horrific attacks on U.S. soil ever is enthralling and should be watched by any and all, no matter what your interest level in comedy is.

Lucky for you, there will be a special screening in LA on this year’s anniversary of 9/11 on Sun. at 7PM at Dynasty Typewriter with special performances by comedians featured in the doc including Jeff Ross, Laurie Kilmartin, Ahmed Ahmed and Rory Albanese and a Q&A with directors Julie Seabaugh and Nick Scown.

Tickets are $20 and you really ought to go get them here.

Pick of the Day: Laughing All the Way to The White House 10/20

As you may well know, Wisconsin is a major swing state. As such, there are plenty of big fundraisers that are going towards making sure it swings left.

One of them, Laughing All the Way to the White House, will be one of the biggest comedy live-stream fundraisers that we’ve seen yet. Slated for this Tue. Oc.t 20th at 6PM PT/8PM CT/9PM ET, the live-stream will feature the likes of: Sarah Silverman, Sarah Cooper, Seth MacFarlane, Kumail Nanjiani, Mike Birbiglia, Hasan Minhaj, Lewis Black, Bassem Youssef, Chelsea Peretti, Whitney Cummings, Judd Apatow, Roy Wood Jr, Maria Bamford, Harry Shearer, Bradley Whitford, Sklar Brothers, Mandy Patinkin, Ahmed Ahmed, Cristela Alonzo, Greg Proops, Jackie Kashian, Will Forte, Ben Gleib, and more.

That’s a line-up worth catching in support of almost any cause. Taking Wisconsin back for the left just happens to be a really great cause to boot.
