Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, who we’d hope you would know from their wonderful stand-up, Take My Wife, or their show/podcast Put Your Hands Together, are indeed going on tour across the U.S. as the seasons change from Summer to Autumn.
Please go see them at any of the dates above. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 21st.
At the same time, you can support a great cause by raising money for Downtown Women’s Center, watch a very stacked comedy show, and also hang at Cinefamily, one of LA’s revered cultural institutions.
Get your tickets here (again, no tickets will be available at door; you must purchase them in advance).
The rest of our listings for comedy shows, events, open mics, maps, and more can be found at www.thecomedybureau.com.
The Best Friends Show is always pretty great.
This line-up though is pretty special, even by their standards as best friends and real life married couples Emily Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani and Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher are on the line-up for this Saturday.
Tickets are $5 online and $6 at door. You can (and should) get tickets in advance here.
Cameron Esposito to Host GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles
The GLAAD Media Awards in LA will take place on April 1st at the Beverly Hilton with the amazing Cameron Esposito set as host for the evening’s ceremony honoring achievements in media for the LGBTQ community.
Esposito has been a favorite for ours for a long time and we sincerely hope that this is another step for Cameron towards hosting way more things.
By the way, you can actually attend this event (if you’ve got deep pockets). Tickets range from $500-$40,000 and you can get them here.
Arguably, Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen is one of the best comedy shows in the country, maybe even the world. It has become a staple in both LA and NYC that’s pretty much sold to capacity every week well over a whole decade.
This 12th Anniversary of Hot Tub that’s happening tomorrow is actually sold out, but there will be a small number of tickets available at the door. Both Kurt and Kristen will do some of their classic sketches in addition to the killer line-up that they always have.
This Monday night, February 20th, doors will be open at 7PM at The Virgil (we’re guessing some might be lining up well before that), tickets will be at $8 at the door, and the show will start at 8PM.

Seeso Orders Second Season of Take My Wife
Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher and their charming TV show, Take My Wife, will have another season at NBC’s streaming service Seeso.
Add this to the list that you’re probably already making of what to look forward to in 2017.
TJ Miller, Hannibal Buress, Pete Holmes, Cameron Esposito, and so many more of your favorite comedians these days cut their teeth in comedy in Chicago and specifically did so at a place known as The Lincoln Lodge.
As it stands now, The Lincoln Lodge needs to find a new home to not only continue to be a pillar in Chicago comedy, but support gender equality in comedy and foster new talent like they’ve been doing so well for so many years.
Don’t take our word for it though. Let TJ Miller himself tell you why you should help find a new home for The Lincoln Lodge no matter if you live in Chicago or not.
Tight Five Productions, the team behind this whole operation, looking for an additional $30K after raising $50K for “permits, licenses and minimal resources we need to build out a facility with a 100 seat theater and classrooms” so they can open in July 2017.
You can donate to the crowdfunding campaign (complete with plenty of rewards) and find more details here.
Cameron Esposito was already, in our minds, one of the most important voices in comedy right now. Now, her voice is even more crucial than ever on top of being damn hilarious.
She’s playing the Irvine Improv on Thursday, November 17th at 8PM. Tickets are $20 with a 2 item minimum. You can get (and should) get them here.
All events are free with RSVP. Get more details about the schedule/line-up and RSVP here.

Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, a comedy couple that we’ve been big fans of ever since they moved here to LA, have their brand new scripted series debuting today.
Take My Wife is a really great snapshot (we saw and really enjoyed two episodes earlier this week) of their lives as comedians at different stages in their career, women and LGBTQ people in comedy, and a couple trying to figure out their life together that’s both very personal and charming (i.e. Cameron and Rhea’s wonderful brand of comedy). Also, know that Laura Kightlinger plays a weird neighbor and it’s icing on top of this cake.
The series is now streaming at Seeso, but you can a free preview of the whole first episode, courtesy of Seeso, on YouTube.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and $20 for VIP and you can (and should) get them here.

The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival returns as one of the biggest comedy touring festivals ever.
It’s interesting that they went with the bold red font for top billed acts and listed the line-up alphabetically instead of doing the traditional top-to-bottom-big-name-to-up-and-coming. It’s one way to be an oddball we suppose.
You can get your tickets here.
Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, a comedian couple that we’ve got enjoy for the last few years here in LA, now has their own semi-autobiographical series coming out following their lives inside and outside of comedy.
It’s cleverly called Take My Wife, starts streaming on Seeso on Thursday, August 11th, and we personally can’t wait for that date to come around the corner.
In the meantime, here’s the trailer for Take My Wife.
Do note plenty of great cameos from Paul F. Tompkins, James Adomian, Laura Kightlinger, Ron Funches, Jonah Ray, and more in aforementioned trailer.
(via Deadline)
You’ll be treated to the stand-up of Cameron Esposito, Eugene Mirman, Janeane Garofalo, Beth Stelling, Aparna Nancherla, Kurt Metzger, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Liza Treyger, the Lucas Brothers, Byron Bowers, Sean Patton, Sam Morril, James Davis, Ian Abramson, Sean Donnelly, Thomas Dale, Ahmed Bharoocha and Emo Philips.
Part of a great comedy cultural exchange between the U.S. and Canada comes around during the JFL Montreal Comedy Festival when JFL also shoots their stand-up showcase series, Funny as Hell.
As past episodes have been streamed plenty on Seeso, Seeso has opted to make the series more known in the States, especially because of its heavy use of U.S. talent, to order a sixth season that’ll offered on NBC’s comedy streaming service.
There will be more names that’ll be added to the series during the festival, but that line-up alone is reason enough to go watch it.
Literally, you can watch a bunch of great things that all of these comics on Variety’s list are in already like Trump vs. Bernie, comedy specials on Netflix, Showtime, and Seeso, The Daily Show, and way more right now.
Variety’s annual big-to-do Comics to Watch list has a bunch of names of great comedy folks that, if you follow what we do here, you’re hopefully well acquainted with.
That includes:
James Adomian/Anthony Atamanuik
Aparna Nancherla
Cameron Esposito
Roy Wood Jr.
Ronny Chieng
Jermaine Fowler
Lilly Singh
Lauren Lapkus
Granger Smith
Vlad Caamano
If you’re not, do a deep dive on all of the stuff we’ve mentioned above.
If you’re still somehow subscribed to Seeso, you can still get into Cameron Esposito’s latest hour offering of stand-up.
Her special, Marriage Material, which is streaming exclusively on Seeso, can now be purchased as an album on iTunes.
It doesn’t matter which way you go to watch/listen to Marriage Material so long as you do indeed go for one of them.
Cameron Esposito’s very first hour stand-up special Marriage Material has just started streaming over at Seeso today. If you haven’t heard us go on about Cameron before, we’ll let you know that anything she does is absolutely worth getting into.
Cameron not only gives greater exposure to LGBTQ voices, perspectives, and identity through her comedy, but she is so funny and disarming while doing so.
If you don’t have Seeso, you might want to take care of that today.
Cameron Esposito is a shining beacon both as a comedian and a person. She has so much going on between developing her own show and having a special come out on Seeso that it makes us 2016 might be one banner year in many banner years that Cameron has coming.
So, it comes as no surprise to us that she nailed her Late Late Show set sporting a great white leather biker jacket and talking about her dear, wonderful wife.

Someone at FX really knows how to pick ‘em.
Following Falk’s You’re The Worst, which has gotten critical acclaim from the get go and has continued with that through its second season, Stephen is teaming up with the wondrous Cameron Esposito in developing a single camera comedy that exhibits a juxtaposition of the lives of sisters, one straight and one gay and both in their 30s. It will be based on Esposito’s life and could make for a really great addition to FX’s already beloved comedy line-up.
In addition to her debut hour special coming to Seeso next month, 2016 is looking more and more like an Cameron Esposito banner year.
Seeso has another special from another great comedian lined up with Cameron Esposito’s cleverly titled Marriage Material.
Recorded before she got married to her wife, we’re sure there is something special about this very first hour stand-up special from Esposito. Get a taste of it with this trailer.
It starts streaming on Thurs. Mar. 24th, but you can also get it as an album on iTunes, Spotify, and Pandora the day after.
Seeso’s following up their first comedy special release of Rory Scovel’s The Charleston Special with another special from one of our absolutely favorite people, Cameron Esposito.
It’s called Marriage Material and it’s her first hour special and it’s directed by none other than Bobcat Goldthwait. It starts streaming at Seeso on Mar. 24th and will also be available on iTunes that same day.
We’ve come to know and love Cameron for taking bold, personal stances in her comedy and yet still making it inviting and very funny for all. This preview clip of Marriage Material where she takes on gun control is a perfect example of this and why you need to remember 3/24.
