Death & New Life in LA’s Independent Comedy Scene

April 16, 2011

Uncategorized

cheap, comedy news, comedy shows, downtown, echo park, free, los angeles, new, west hollywood

As cheesy as it may sound, the circle of life does extend beyond the context of actual human life. Where a hole exists in what’s hip/cool, there will undoubtedly be something to takes its place, which, in regards to LA’s vibrant and vast underground/independent comedy scene, translates to a show/room/venue ending and one or even a few more springing up elsewhere.

Silent Bob/Kevin Smith recently announced the closing of his live audience/podcasting venue Smodcastle before I had to chance to see anything there, tomorrow marks the end of my favorite shows Comedy Garage despite their long run, and Trick, one of the coolest shows in LA (the LA Times even wrote something about it) has been and remains, for all intensive purposes, shut down.

Yet, as tragic as the end of the Comedy Garage is (trust me, it’s one damn fine show as I wrote here), there are several new shows for all of LA to discover and enjoy with line-ups that rival those of arts and comedy festivals, mostly because many of the comics have been to or are going to a festival.

Namely, Brunch, which will be hosted by the wonderful Jamie Lee and Jake Weisman, will make its debut this Monday April 18th at the Park Restaurant in Echo Park 9PM, free of charge or any sort of food/drink minimum. As it’s in Echo Park, this show is already automatically cool, right?

Performance Anxiety, a comedy show put together by TJ Miller (on movie screens and comedy club stages across America) and Eli Olsberg (The Morning After Podcast) inside of the famous sex toy and accessories shop, The Pleasure Chest, Tuesday April 26th 8PM, for $7. The novelty of having a comedy show inside the Pleasure Chest should be enough to peak the interest of many, but the line-up itself (Rory Scovel, Ryan Stout, Morgan Murphy, Garfunkel & Oates, and more) is one not to miss.

Forget show; Loading Dock, a “comedy event” at the XRT Theatre, is also making its inaugural run on Tuesday April 26th featuring not only a spectacular round of comedians including Kyle Kinane and Eddie Pepitone, but it will also have art on display from local talents Brian McFadden & Natasha Bedu, as well as a petting zoo and a photo booth… FOR FREE!!! You read that right: Comedy + Art + Petting Zoo = $0 Admission. In addition to being put together by the minds of enterprising, talented, and up and coming comics Abbey Londer and Allen Strickland Williams, Loading Dock is also in the category of “do not miss or else…”.

Again, as sad it is to see Comedy Garage go right after a documentary about it had been made, plenty of other stuff has willingly stepped in. Also, I’m sure, the Comedy Garage gang of Sean Green, Paul Danke, and Cornell Reid will put together else amazing very soon because comedy doesn’t die, it just moves to another part of town.

Morning Debriefing 4/11/11

1) Comedian Barry Rothbart on national TV… again. After appearing frequently on national commercials for Taco Bell, web series “Do Whatever”, in which he stars, is set to air on IFC soon.

2) There’s still win a chance to win a spot on the Long Shot Podcast!!!

3) With an endorsement from Kate Micucci and this review, Re-Animator the Musical, might be something to catch at the Steve Allen Theater soon. It may not be the Human Centipede musical, but why the f*$# would you want to see that?

4) “All awards shows are bullshit made up clubs where people decide to give each other prizes. So, I want to thank Comedy Central for saying, ‘we could do that, we could give each other prizes.”-Tina Fey about the Comedy Awards/Reason the Comedy Bureau thinks that such awards shows really shouldn’t be broadcasted ever

1) Rolling Stone’s got a pretty good podcast list. With The Pod F. Tompkast, WTF! w/Marc Maron, The Nerdist, The Smartest Man in the World w/Greg Proops, Comedy Death Ray Radio, and more that we all should probably listen to, Rolling Stone almost makes up for the garbage “Top 100 Guitarists of All Time” list they put out every year.

2) Jay Larson’s CD taping is TONIGHT at 8PM and you can still bypass the general cover fee with promo code: LARSON. Along with performances from Pete Holmes, Melissa Villasenor, and Al Jackson, don’t miss a chance to laugh until your head will almost fall off and a chance for your laugh to be recorded forever.

3) Besides already knowing who won the upcoming Comedy Awards airing Sun. Apr. 10th, find out more with interviews from Tony Sam and Kate Riley at HahaJK.com-Red Carpet–Chloe Moretz–sketch duo briTANick.

Come to this Bieber Roast tonight at UCB. Especially if you think it’s all been said.

BUY TICKETS

It’ll be better than Donald Trump’s because actual comedians fill the entire line-up on this show AND Justin Beiber deserves to be roasted more.

Morning Debriefing 4/2/11

1) It’s official: The Nerdist Theatre has arrived (@nerdmelt) and the back room of Meltdown Comics is no more (well, sort of). Kicking off their inaugural weekend off with Jimmy Dore’s Pop and Politics tonight and a live Nerdist Podcast w/James Gunn tomorrow night, the Nerdist Theatre is sure to be one of the “places to be” in LA.

2) LA via Texas and Texas via LA: Hampton Yount’s experiences at SXSW and Matt Ingebretson and the Hell Yes Fest in the Austinist.

3) The Comic’s Comic is now on Tumblr. I think you should follow.

4) Comedy Central now has a smart phone app for free. Perhaps you can find out when Mash-Up is on at 3:30AM again even more accesibly than visiting the Comedy Bureau.

8) May I stress that I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with people telling jokes that might be considered controversial or “too soon” as long as they’re inherently funny and not depending on mere hyperbole/graphic detail. Perfect example from comedian Brooks Wheelan posted only a few days after the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan: @brookswheelan This whole Japan thing is the biggest win dolphins have had since the ‘72 undefeated season. #LARRYCSONKA. Nicely done, Brooks. Nicely done.

Morning Debriefing 3/31/11

1) LA Comedy invaded your TV last night:
Brent Weinbach on Lopez Tonight killin’ it.
Mo Mandel on Conan killin’ it.
Norm MacDonald gettin into a Twitter fight with Steve Martin on Letterman and killin’ it.

2) Don’t let 522 (last checked when I linked this) people down, help Garfunkel and Oates get on Conan via this Facebook page. (The Comedy Bureau doesn’t guarantee this is a way to get the girls on Conan, but it won’t hurt so just go ahead and do it)

3) Marc Maron Interview on Serial Optimist. All Serial Optimist interviews are top notch, which makes this one an absolute read.

4) John Oliver’s NY Stand Up Show. Midnight. Comedy Central. Maria Bamford. Moshe Kasher. That’s it. Well… don’t forget to watch it!
