Pick of the Day: All for Armenia Live Comedy Fundraiser (in LA) 11/3

October 20, 2023

The world isn’t technically at war, but it’s hard to feel like that the whole of the planet is even remotely close to being at peace. One could spin a globe with eyes closed and probably land on a location rife with violent conflict. As such, supporting any and all of the humanitarian aid you can, wherever it may be, is crucial.

That’s why James Adomian is leading a benefit for All for Armenia at UCB on Fri. Nov. 3rd at 10pm, since the horror in Armenia perpetrated by Azerbaijan still continues with ethnic cleansing of Armenians living in the surrendered territory of Artsakh (though you wouldn’t know it from the news).

Joining Adomian is a very stacked line-up of Reggie Watts, Phil Hendrie, Chris Estrada, Alyssa Limperis, Mary Basmadjian, and Nate Craig all for the nice price of $15 (right now). 100% of ticket sales go to All for Armenia.

Go get tix here before they inevitably sell out and, if you’re feeling generous, directly donate to All for Armenia.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 58: James Adomian & The Upcoming Aftermath

Coming to know James Adomian remains as one of our fortunate strokes of luck in all of our time in comedy. The brilliant comedian, impressionist, voice over artist joins us for this week’s TCB Field Report to recount how he has made it through all the continuing trials and tribulations of the last year including, but certainly not limited to, international comedy tours getting cancelled, the tragedy that befell Armenia by way of Azerbaijan, and no critical breaks on rent. That said, Adomian still voiced a cornucopia’s worth of cartoons on major networks, streaming services, and even on Snapchat. Also, James got to satirically confront the My Pillow guy Mike Lindell on Jimmy Kimmel Live as Mike Lindell and is ready to get back into the swing of comedy, virtual and otherwise.

Follow James @jadomian on IG and Twitter, buy tickets to his Nowhere Comedy club headlining show on Fri. 5/7, and please support The Children of Armenia Fund.

The Conan in Armenia special aired this week and is now online in full at TeamCoco.com or diced up into several great clips.

As you probably expected, Conan brought his legendary goofing around wherever he and his assistant Sona Movsesian went. 

From an Armenian language course to taking requests from Sona’s family…

…to visiting an Armenian matchmaker per Sona’s family request…

…to buying an authentic Armenian rug…

…to trading some dance moves at an Armenian temple…

…to taking a necessary and respectful visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial…

…to picking a “tasteful” painting at a flea market…

…to joining in the festivities at Armenia’s Yerevan Day as well as meeting fans that are also Syrian refugees…

…to attempting to herd some sheep…

…to showing of the spoils of their trip to Sona’s family, Conan and Sona’s visit to Armenia is a great showcase for Conan having a whole other show where he travels to the forgotten places amongst travel shows and makes great TV just by being Conan.

(via Variety)

He might have had this title for years now, but Conan O’Brien has to unequivocally be the most intrepid host in late night.

He’s traveled all across the globe over his decades as a late night talk show host from Atlanta to Ireland to Cuba to Comic-Con, which has made for some of his best segments.

Now, Conan is taping a whole show in Armenia along with his assistant, Sona Movsesian, who happens to be Armenian, set to premiere on Nov. 10th on TBS.

There’ll be plenty of reminders between now and the premiere date, but make sure now to watch this.
