Whether you need a complete distraction from the ever more hellish reality we live in or just a jolt of unfettered absurdity, there is nothing quite like Late Late Breakfast to serve those in plentiful supply to all of our heart’s content.

Late Late Breakfast was forged several years ago by Tyler Jackson and Danny Maupin as an alternative to any sort of traditional comedy show by challenging stand-up comedians to do their act while a randomly selected ridiculous task was assigned to them. That could be anything from embodying the seven deadly sins throughout their set to being interrupted by a karaoke chorus of Sweet Caroline from the audience. It’s controlled chaos, perhaps, in its finest form.

It has been quite some time since they’ve mounted an edition of Late Late Breakfast in LA, but the Yard Theater will be letting this bonkers show bring some life to next Monday night on Aug. 29th at 9PM. Having to run through a gauntlet of abject silliness will be a very, very fine collection of LA comedians including The Shrimp Boys, Curtis Cook, Molly Kearney, Maggie Maye, Brodie Reed, Bailey Norton, Jane Harrison, Jake Noll, and Carly Kane with Tyler Jackson and Sammy Mowrey presiding over all the tomfoolery.

Tickets are only $5 and you really ought to go get tickets and have a Monday night to remember here.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 119: Bailey Norton & Women Getting Death Threats They Don’t Deserve in 2022

Unfortunately, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the world in 2022 is still not a fair, equitable, or even hospitable place for women. Things for women in comedy are objectively better than they were in the 70s or 80s, but that doesn’t mean there’s actual equality and true inclusion. The beaming delight that is comedian Bailey Norton has a chat with us about how she gets death threats from men for innocuous humor all the time as well as what it means to be a woman playing a ukulele in comedy these days.

NOTE: “Simmah down now” was the catch phrase of SNL’s Cheri Oteri

Even though so much time has passed since the last Femmes the Rules, the live comedy show where men get interrupted, it seems as though, in 2021, that men haven’t learned to shut up when they need to be shutting up.

Thank goodness that Femmes the Rules is making a come back to feature female/non-binary comedians getting the full license to interrupt a male comedian during their set however they please (including a 3-strike rule), then get to do their set free of any interruptions. All hail Sammy Mowrey and Bailey Norton for bringing this crucial show from the pre-pandemic era all the way to The Airliner on Tues. Dec. 14th at 8PM PT.

On this first post-lockdown Femmes the Rules will be:

Molly Kearney and Mike Joyce
Holmes Holmes and Simon Gibson
Amy Silverberg and Danny Palumbo

Tickets are $5 right now, so go get ’em while you can right here.
