The Comedy Bureau’s Heading West (to Venice) For Its Latest Show on May 18th

andres du bouchet, brodie reed, butt, jake kroeger, los angeles comedy, sasha mercie, venice

Yes, we’re already based on the West Coast, but we happen to live pretty much in the geographic middle of LA and we can actually head a little further West. It’s actually been something that we’ve been meaning to do for awhile now as a way to bring some of the lovely comedy that’s a little closer to our doorstep out to the Westside since The Comedy & Magic Club is still closed and the Eastside is only growing bigger with the amount of comedy that they have (even from before lockdown).

So, we’re doing a very special evening at a beloved and very classy speakeasy, Townhouse Venice, right around the Venice Boardwalk, with an amazing stage and those ever coveted low ceilings that are perfect for live comedy.

Per usual, we’re gathering our favorite folks from every corner comedy for this special night including:

Brodie Reed
Sasha Merci
Andrés du Bouchet

BUTT

and a few more splendid acts TBA!

Of course, TCB’s founder and director Jake Kroeger will be presiding over the evening to make sure things are up to TCB snuff.

Set the date for The Comedy Bureau Heads West @ Townhouse Venice on Wed. May 18th at 8PM PT. Tickets are $10 and proof of vaccination will be required. Go snag your tickets right now right here.

andres du bouchet, atsuko okatsuka, candice thompson, club tee gee, eddie pepitone, frankie quinones, jay larson, kevin avery, matt mccarthy, peacock, steph tolev, subhah agarwal, year anniversary

This Thursday, it will have been a year since Peacock started prancing around Club Tee Gee over in the lovely part of LA known as Atwater Village. In that time, it has quickly grown into a neatly packed and produced, tight stand-up show that has become a neighborhood (and LA) favorite on Thursday nights. Going for an entire year, especially when you’re maintaining a high quality show every week is incredibly difficult and deserves a nod of admiration (in person at this week’s show preferably)

So, join host Kiran Deol and a very, very special, extra stacked line-up all for the always nice price of a $5 suggested donation to celebrate Peacock’s One Year Anniversary.

Andrés du Bouchet Does a Clever Gathering of Most of His Characters That He Plays on Conan

August 14, 2019

andres du bouchet, characters, conan

If you’re not on the du Bouchet train of pure absurdity, then, well, umm, please reconsider what you’re watching as Andrés is one of the pillars of why Conan remains great to this day (and certainly why their bits and sketches are often unrivaled in late night).

For more proof, du Bouchet does the best take on a character sizzle reel ever with this latest piece. Please enjoy over and over and over (then get on that du Bouchet train already).

Super Creepy Clown Butterscotch Again Attempts to Defend the Image of Clowns Against “It Chapter Two”

andres du bouchet, clowns, comic con, conan, it chapter two, parody, sdcc, team coco

Glad to see that Conan’s Andrés du Bouchet got to reprise his spot on creepy Butterscotch clown character for the upcoming release of the It Chapter Two sequel and really went all out for it (especially for Conan being at Comic-Con this week).

Most of all, you have to appreciate how Team Coco got away with the ending of this sketch. See it all for yourself here.

andres du bouchet, comedy show, conan, dan cronin, jose arroyo, laurie kilmartin, levi macdougall, los angeles, stand up, team coco

Peacock has already been off-to-the-races in terms of putting on a great weekly Thursday stand-up show in the heart of Atwater Village.

This Thursday is very special as you can see that the writers of Conan are assembling on to one show WITH Conan sidekick and announcer, the one and only Andy Richter hosting. Did we mention that it’s only a $5 suggested donation to attend? OK, we mentioned it now. So, make a reminder on your phone for #TeamPeacock (or PeaCoco?) at Club Tee Gee this Thurs. 6/27.

Andrés du Bouchet’s Boliviguay Apparently Has a Bigger Comic-Con Than SDCC

andres du bouchet, boliviguay, comic con, conan, team coco

One of our favorite Andrés du Bouchet characters on Conan makes another appearance just to say that the “very real” country of Boliviguay not only has their own Comic-Con, but one that rivals the biggest one in the world, the San Diego Comic-Con (AKA THE Comic-Con).

Watch and enjoy every little detail here. You might have to watch it repeatedly to savor all of it.

This Conan Sketch Questions the Validity of the World Series

October 26, 2017

andres du bouchet, bolivguay, conan, levi macdougall, mlb, world series, yasiel puig

While many television networks are looking for their next big sketch comedy hit series, we want to let everyone know once again that Conan and Team Coco are still making some of the best sketches around.

Case in point: this World Series sketch that begs the question, “Does the Boliviguay government disavow the World Baseball Classic due to their stance on sandwiches?”

Butterscotch, the “It” Protesting Clown, Returns to Conan

September 16, 2017

andres du bouchet, conan, it, parody, todd levin

You know, Butterscotch doesn’t eat children like Pennywise from It, but, because he’s real to everyone and dances the most eerie dance ever, he might be almost as scary.

Enjoy Andrés du Bouchet and Todd Levin’s creation once more here.

Conan Lets a Clown Protesting “It” Speak

September 13, 2017

andres du bouchet, conan, it, late night, parody, stephen king, todd levin

The latest adaptation of Stephen King’s It is a box office hit, which has many clowns upset for allegedly promoting the idea that clowns are scary.

On last night’s Conan, O’Brien “let” one such clown (that’s some sort of unholy cross between Tim Curry’s Pennywise and John Wayne Gacy’s Pogo The Clown) “speak” to this injustice.

We’ve said it for awhile and we’ll keep saying it, Conan still has the best sketches in late night and this (written by Todd Levin) is just one more piece of proof.

For those wondering, that’s Andrés du Bouchet under all that objectively scary clown make-up.

Blending a show and semi-fictional parties together, CleftClips’ Toasty allows comedians to give the toasts that they have always dreamed of. It’s one of our all time favorite shows and the line-up for the latest edition, as you can see above, is stellar.

Tickets are $20 (the venue is small, so they will be limited and you should get them sooner rather than later), and cocktail attire is required.

Conan Writers Dan Cronin and Andrés du Bouchet Are Doing a Live Q&A About the Nut Spoon Sketch

Conan Writers Dan Cronin and Andrés du Bouchet Are Doing a Live Q&A About the Nut Spoon Sketch

You may say, “Nut spoon? What’s a nut spoon and how can that be fodder for a sketch?” Well, comedy legend Carl Reiner is a big fan of the ‘nut spoon sketch’ that aired on last week’s Conan.

As a result, Conan staffers Dan Cronin and Andrés du Bouchet are doing a Q&A just on that sketch alone with Aaron Bleyaert moderating. No other show would do a whole conversation on camera about a single sketch and that’s part of why we love Conan.

Watch the Q&A that’s live right now here.

The folks responsible for writing some of the funniest things in late night are doing a show this Monday night at Flappers. That includes Conan staff writers Laurie Kilmartin, Brian Kiley, Dan Cronin, Todd Levin, Andrés du Bouchet, Levi MacDougall, and Jose Arroyo.

Tickets are $10 (with a two item minimum) and you can (and should) get them here.

Here’s yet another Conan desk piece that rides that line of being spectacularly daft and very clever at the same time with one of the best fictitious cameraman of all time, Andrés du Bouchet.
