June 17, 2024
News
brent weinbach, stand up comedy, taping, ucb

Brent Weinbach has proven time and time again that he’s at the forefront of the art of comedy and he’s about to do so again at the end of this month.

The comedian who conjured up comedic brilliance by impersonating an audience member crying or coming up with Gangster Party Line or perfecting what very much seems like conducting a comedy laboratory on stage, but it all go exactly according to plan is recording his very next special. Weinbach will be taping Popular Culture at UCB Franklin on Saturday, June 29th at 7PM and 9:30PM. Tickets for the early show are already sold out, but you can still snag some late show tickets if you act fast and have $15 on you (which, for this, you should).

Go get ’em here.

News
brent weinbach, cinelounge, douggpound

The works of Brent Weinbach and Douggpound are some of the most delightfully absurd videos that have been put out there in the world. It’s a rare so opportunity to have both of them together to not only screen a bunch of their stuff, but have them give what would essentially be DVD commentary, but done live and in-person.

That’s exactly what’s happening this Saturday, Sept. 25th at Cinelounge Outdoors in Hollywood. Both Brent and Douggpound will be doing a very special retrospective on their exclusive collaborations over the years and doing a “talk back”, which, in of itself, might be worth checking out as that truly could be any thing that strikes the fancy of Brent and Douggpound.

Doug and Brent Forever: Brent Weinbach and Douggpound Night is set for 9/25 w/doors at 7:30PM PT. Tickets are $14.92 and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

For 16 years, Tomorrow! has been the thing to do on Saturday night at midnight in LA. For so many years, longer than we’ve been doing or covering comedy, Ron Lynch has faithfully brought the perfect mix of absurdity, silliness, beauty, and honesty that’s worth keeping the night going that late.

Of course, for the last year, they haven’t been able to do that in a proper venue and Lynch company have taken to Instagram Live to keep the Tomorrow! flame going and indeed they have kept the show alive and kicking for all these months since whenever March 2020 was (that was a decade ago, right?).

To mark their 16 year anniversary, Ron will be bringing back the original trio, himself, Craig Anton, and Brendon Small, that started off this midnight institution as well as such luminary comedians as Dana Gould, Laura Kightlinger, and Brent Weinbach. Very likely, they’ll have more than just that to celebrate the occasion (in addition to the “Core Four” and Michael Mortilla).

These days, it ought to be something really special if you’re going to tune into an IG Live show, but the 16 Year Anniversary of Tomorrow! with Ron Lynch more than fits that bill. Tune in at Sat. Jul. 24th at 11PM PT/2AM ET on IG Live @ronlynch1 and support the show on Venmo @tomorrowshow.

Best of all, you won’t have to worry about the Delta variant!

andrew michaan, brent weinbach, fred armisen, moshe kasher, natasha leggero, reggie watts

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.

There is an entire brilliantly funny season of a Dress Up Gang TV series that has yet to be seen and one can only hope that one day the general public will get to revel in how it’s potentially even more “about nothing” than Seinfeld.

In the meantime, you can and very, very much should enjoy the chill, offbeat, silly vibes of The Dress Up Gang’s delightful Christmas Special “Post Holiday Blues: A Christmas Special” here.

This show had a far too short run at the Improv. Thankfully, this improvised powerpoint show is coming back once more at Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theater next week on Wed., June 27th at 8PM.

Zed Cutsinger and Andrew Michaan’s PowerPointless will also have a line-up including Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher, Nick Thune, Brent Weinbach, and David Dineen-Porter that’s more than up to the task of BS-ing their way through an actual PowerPoint presentation that they’ve never seen before. 

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Please 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).

Scott Moran, the man behind the brilliant docu-series Modern Comedian, has a new mini-documentary at JASH that delves into what came after Brent Weinbach’s viral hit video Gangster Party Line. 

Two years later, the video has a sort of website spin-off GangsterPartyLine.com featuring the voicemails that people would leave when calling the real number from the video.

Every once in awhile, Brent and friends like the brilliant Moshe Kasher will actually pick up and, you know, talk some shit. 

Get into the doc here and give Gangster Party Line another watch or two because it definitely still holds up.

Watch Trailer’s for Lance Bangs’ “Flophouse” Where He Explores the Comedy Underground

Since time immemorial, comedians have often lived together in what many would considered cramped, messy, and raucous living situations. Comedians, for the most part, think it’s just fine. 

In this latest golden era of comedy, there’s a whole new excitement brewing in the underground and, with the aid of the Internet, it’s not quite as underground (i.e. no one has ever heard of it) as it used to be.

Lance Bangs explores this subculture that’s bridging its way to the big time, though, on its own terms, in his Viceland series Flophouse. Specifically, he goes through these comedian ‘flophouses’ and then sees them all put on a live show on a rooftop, in a back yard, in a garage, etc. 

Here’s a trailer for Flophouse in case you’re curious as to what this all looks like and haven’t gotten the luck to go to a house comedy show.

By the way, featured in the trailer are:
Kate Willett, Clare O’Kane, Solomon Georgio, Amy Miller, Brent Weinbach, Brandon Wardell, Eric Dadourian, Dave Stone, Maria Bamford, James Adomian, Sean Patton, James Austin Johnson, David Gborie, Steve Agee, and much more.

Look for Flophouse to come to Vice’s new Viceland on Feb. 29th.
