This brand new, weekly comedy game show, Hollywood Quars, hosted by Matt Lieb, takes trivia to a whole new level as both the contestants AND the host don’t know the answers to the questions (even when the host wrote them). It’s up to a really great line-up of comedians to make it seem like their answer is the best (or maybe even actually right?).

For this first edition of Hollywood Quars on Thurs. Jun. 4th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET, they’ve assembled:

Baron Vaughn (Netflix, Comedy Central)
Steph Tolev (Comedy Central)
Brandie Posey (Lady 2 Lady Podcast)
Sean Keane (Roundball Rock Podcast)
Caitlin Gill (NPR, 2 Dope Queens)
Madison Shepard (Album “Goodnight Silverlake Lounge”)
Jessica Sele (Vice TV)
Chris Estrada (Comedy Central)
Casey Ley (Gay Power Half Hour )

Also, we gotta say, having gotten a sneak peak, this very well might be one of the slickest looking comedy game shows done via live-stream.

By the way, they’ll be raising money for Minnesota Freedom Fund (which, due to so much support, is distributing funds to other worthy causes)

Tickets are $8 if you snag them right now and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

Caitlin Gill’s Major. Needs to Be The Next Comedy Album You Listen To

August 2, 2019

If you’ve been following us here at TCB, you might know that we’re big fans of Caitlin Gill and thusly, it wasn’t a big surprise that we immensely enjoyed her latest hour on the new album Major.

What did take us by surprise is that Gill is completely clean for the entirety of Major. in a way that you likely won’t notice and certainly doesn’t sacrifice her rambunctious comedic spirit. In fact, there is a certain bottled-lighting feeling we get here as the stories and observations woven and told with gusto by Caitlin that feels pretty damn close to watching Caitlin be the force of nature that she is live in person. That’s pretty rare for comedy albums/specials even though that is all of what they’re going for (often due to the arduous prep and planning that goes into these sort of recordings).

Also, Gill probably has the definitive bit about the existential frustration of bank transactions for our generation on this album.

So, please, please, please go get Major. (it’ll be streaming on Sirius XM this weekend as well).

The Business is now set to mark an entire 10 years in the biz, hopping around the country (SF, LA, NYC) as a stalwart indie stand-up comedy show.

Come toast them and enjoy all their hosts and their absolute favorites in The Business current home, Little Joy in Echo Park.

Come join them, as always, for free this coming Monday. Get more info and updates @thebusinessla on Twitter and IG.

If there was a way for you to appreciate songs that are widely panned or hardly known for various reasons, it would be comedians telling their story of why they love said songs and then perform a live cover of it, complete with a live band.

Thus, we highly recommend to catch Guilty Treasure this week in Hollywood at Three Clubs. Please get tickets here.

Watch Another Round of 7 Minutes in Purgatory Where an Audience Remotely Watches Comedians Perform with No Audience

This second season of Ian Abramson’s stand-up-comedy-equivalent-of-a-Skinner-Box, 7 Minutes in Purgatory, really showcases the stark contrast of what performing comedy without an audience while another audience enjoys it in a separate, remote location.

Just see how Maria Bamford beautifully handles performing in front of a 1000 empty seats while there’s a smaller, but mightier number of warm bodies three stories above her thoroughly delighting in her performance.

You can also see how host Ian Abramson, Jon Dore, Michelle Buteau, Colton Dunn, Caitlin Gill and Bobcat Goldthwait all handled the existential quandary of 7 Minutes in Purgatory in all different sorts of ways as well some inside commentary from their fellow performers/purgatory dwellers.

If you’re not on board the Caitlin Gill train yet or, in this case, inside the gigantic barbed wire boxing glove costume, then you need to get on board/inside ASAP. Gill has been killing it on whatever stage she has been on since she moved down from San Francisco and Caitlin doing an hour, along with Bobcat Goldthwait, David Gborie, and Clare O’Kane opening, is a must-see.

Get tickets here.
