It has been a minute since one of the most subtly clever podcasts ever devised, Podcast But Outside, has popped up, but we’re happy to say that Andrew and Cole and Cam the Intern will be back at it, pulling passersby off the street for $1 to interview them in front of a live crowd, starting up again this month.

Armed with a table, chairs, some mics, and some of the fastest quips/comebacks, Andrew Michaan and Cole Hersch have built quite the chit chat podcast that’s very possible for interviewing strangers on a podcast. Just take a listen to Podcast But Outside if you haven’t binged/done a deep already.

Their first live inside show in awhile will be at UCB Franklin come Thurs. Mar. 28th at 9PM. Tickets are $15 and you can (and should) go get them here.

The midterm elections are just a month away and it’s crucial to be aware of what is at stake (and that you should really vote, maybe even do so early).

With that in mind, one thing you could do leading up to Election Day, Tues. Nov. 8th, 2022 is go to a comedy show fundraiser Hugo Let the Dogs Out! for a choice progressive candidate for LA’s CD13, Hugo Soto-Martinez, at El Cid on Thurs. Oct. 6th with doors opening at 7PM featuring the comedy stylings of some folks you might have heard of including Joe Mande, Demetri Martin, Gareth Reynolds, Will Menaker, Matt Christman, Andrew Michaan, Megan Koester, and Derek & Dril along with hosts Amber Rollo and Josh Androsky.

You don’t have to pay to enjoy such a spoil of comedy riches (note that El Cid has a 2 item min.), but they’ll obviously be taking donations for Hugo’s campaign. If you can’t make the show, you can donate to Hugo at hugo2022.com.

Natasha and Moshe are opting to do it virtually and have yet another amazing line-up of some of the best comedians in the entire country.

Jam in a Van has been going for a minute in providing a unique outdoor comedy experience in a secret West LA location. On top of a DIY built, outdoor space, your ticket gets you and your party your own cooler of tasty refreshments (as opposed to waiting around to order two drinks).

Several different shows have come through and come through again in their space, but Nick and Andrew’s Hellscape, set for Fri. Jun. 25th, has one hell of a stacked line-up that could very well be a festival line-up if there were any big festivals happening this month. Chelsea Peretti, Ron Funches, Joe Mande, Hannah Einbinder, Atsuko Okatsuka, Kate Berlant, and hosts Nick Thune and Andrew Michaan are splitting an early show 7PM PT and a late show 9:30PM PT (not everyone will play both shows).

You really ought to not miss this show or, really, both shows if you can swing it. Ticket prices are as follows:

Regular Reserved: $35 (plus $2.50 handling fee)
($75 per pair).
VIP Premium seating and a Mr. Heater heater at your seat: $50 (plus $2.50 handling fee) ($105 per pair).

Go get your tickets as space is very limited for Jam in a Van here.

Though it has to be virtual, NYE’s comedy shows are still very much happening and they’re streaming from all around the globe (which should make it so much easier to tune into whatever your favorite(s) might be).

We’d like to start off by highlighting one of this particular NYE’s Comedy Mega Show that’ll ring in the New Year for the East Coast and the Midwest as well as feature a grand line-up of Reggie Watts, Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher, Fred Armisen, Brent Weinbach, and Andrew Michaan. Whether that would be in person or not, that’s pretty stellar for a New Year’s Eve comedy line-up.

Luckily, you can stream it safely from home and remember that time kind of still functions.

NYE’s Comedy Mega Show starts on Dec. 31st 8:30PM PT/11:30PM ET and tickets are $15-$25. Go get them here.

Please Enjoy “Ghost Family”, a Sensationally Absurdist Sitcom Pilot from Andrew Michaan and Zed Cutsinger

From the minds of Andrew Michaan and Zed Cutsinger comes a full length pilot for Ghost Family, a show we wish would get picked up to series somewhere (though some NSFW content in it probably means it’s better suited for certain networks or streaming services than others).

In the way Childrens Hospital took on medical procedurals, Ghost Family goes to the nth degree and beyond to send up family sitcoms and we loved ridiculous minute of it.

Watch and enjoy it here (and maybe spread the word enough so it does become an actual TV show somewhere).

The holiday season is in full swing and, amongst several holiday trappings, uncut video of a soothing, crackling fireplace becomes popular once again.

Yet, the story behind the making of such a video has never been told… until now.

Thanks to Andrew Michaan, Zed Cutsinger, and Maria Bamford, there is now a director’s commentary for that static single shot of a fireplace that reveals a personal darkness lurking underneath the making of the video that focuses on light and warmth.

Enjoy this holiday treat here.

Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero just got married and as recently wed comedians, they opted to make their honeymoon into a comedy tour, aptly called The Honeymoon Tour, and give relationship advice to various audience members that they were willing to talk out their problems on stage.

The advice they gave was captured by Comedy Central and put into this really great web series that captured much of the best advice they dished out, the lovely vistas they had, and even some comically, overly gratuitous PDA.

They even had America’s Funnyman Neil Hamburger renew their vows. Please watch and enjoy all eight episodes here.
