The short of the long of it is that not that “we’re” vastly understaffed.

On Oct. 25th, 2014, The Comedy Bureau turned 4 years old. Most of you don’t know that because “we” really didn’t say anything. So, almost half a year later, “we’re” making up for that by throwing a belated anniversary show.

So, on Fri. Apr. 3rd, The Comedy Bureau we’ll be approximately 4 and 5/12th years old and we’ll be celebrating that exact time in our history at one of our favorite venues, Echoes Under Sunset.

With special guests:
Maria Bamford
Baron Vaughn
Joe Wagner
James Austin Johnson
Candice Thompson
Drennon Davis
Presented by Jake Kroeger and Brad Silnutzer

Doors 10PM
Starts 10:30PM

The Brooklyn Cyclones Went For The Fences Celebrating 25th Anniversary of Seinfeld

Between temporarily changing the name of the stadium to Vandelay Industries Park, having the Soup Nazi in attendance, and doing a Elaine Benes style dance contest, the minor league baseball team known as The Brooklyn Cyclones probably had the best celebration of Seinfeld’s 25th Anniversary this weekend.

Speaking of which, a whole episode will be done in LEGO as well. It’ll be quite the 25th year for The Simpsons.

Put Your Hands Together Celebrates Its One Year Anniversary in Jan.

It’s a lot to ask a brand new live show in LA’s vast comedy scene to replace the slot of something like Comedy Bang! Bang! at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (previously known as the legendary Comedy Death Ray), which is currently a hit podcast on Earwolf and TV show on IFC. Yet, Put Your Hands Together has made a name for itself over a year with it’s host Cameron Esposito having a hell of a year and being voted into one of LA Weekly’s yearly best lists.

So, celebrate the first year of Put Your Hands Together at UCB on Tues. Jan 7th 8PM with a wonderful line-up including: Matt Braunger, Rhea Butcher, Katie Crown, Ron Funches, Karen Kilgariff, Kyle Kinane, Howard Kremer, Brendon Small, Paul F. Tompkins, your fantastic host Cameron Esposito, and more TBA!

We’ve been doing this (i.e. servicing the LA comedy scene and beyond) for 3 years now and we’re throwing an office party. Well, our office is technically mobile, so it will be at Echoes Under Sunset and we’re just going to throw one hell of a comedy show with some our favorite people (just look at the line-up) instead of just having handles of cheap vodka and someone’s iPod playing the background.

It’s at Oct. 25th 9PM Echoes Under Sunset. Repeat that at least 25 more times so you don’t forget.

Congratulations to The Feral Audio Podcast Collective on Its 1 Year Anniversary

The world of podcasting is still burgeoning, especially when it comes to the models of distribution such as a network or collective. That’s why Feral Audio deserves a slow clap for making it this far with the stable of great shows they have like Call Chelsea Peretti, This Feels Terrible with Erin McGathy, Weird Adults with Little Esther, and more that you should be checking out/subscribing to.

Morning Debriefing 6/26/11

1) In Portland, OR now for a week, technically on vacation. Just hope you all appreciate that we still haven’t missed a single day of posting since we started.

2) Watch out for this: @marcmaron Okay, I guess the cats out of the bag. There is a feature on me and the show in the new @EW. Dunno if its out on newsstands.

3) You can still submit something to RE:COM for a few more days. Get in by June 30th. Don’t miss an opportunity to 1) to be a force/voice for comedy 2) see your name in print (that’s right it’s a print magazine).

4) Congratulations to Barbara Gray and her fantastic show One Two Punch getting written up in the LA Times. Follow @BabsGray on Twitter to keep up to date when the next One Two Punch is as well as damn hilarious tweets.

5) Comedy Bang Bang has a blog about their podcast?!? Alternative comedy gone ever more self-reflexive…

6) Speaking of self-reflexive, this video by “comedy artist” by Charlotte Young was posted by the Daily What several days ago, but who hasn’t thought they were bullshitting whatever they were saying at least once while on stage? Only the other week, I could have swore that I said on stage, “I have material that works, I swear."

7) This isn’t LA comedy exactly, but it’s pretty fuckin’ hilarious: Kurt Braunohler and the World Wild of Animals.
