Pick of the Day: Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring Taping (in LA) 4/24

Comedy Central is doing another round of what makes up the majority of their stand-up these days, “Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring” (Premium Blend for Gen-Xers) and handpicking from the LA scene the folks that they like to highlight for about 10 minutes or so on YouTube.

Of course, by the very nature of this post, you can get the special in on seeing these sets of who Comedy Central thinks is next and see it in person. This latest edition of Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring is slated for Mon. Apr. 24th at Club Los Globos in Silverlake with an early and late show.

The choice line-ups are as follows:

7PM PT: Meredith Casey, Craig Conant, Sean Jordan, Laura Peek, Brodie Reed, Henry Sir, & Saul Trujillo

9:30PM PT: Dylan Adler, Carmen Morales, Jason Cheny, Alex Hooper, Abe Farrelly, Greg Santos, Kylie Vincent, & Chloé Hillard

In addition to the show being free (so long as you RSVP), CC is picking up two drinks for you (so long as it’s well/beer/wine).

Monday doesn’t get much better than that. RSVP before it sells out here.

Pick of the Day: Comedy Central Stand Up Featuring Tapings (in LA) 3/1

Comedy Central is doing another round, their 10th season in fact, of their short form digital stand-up series, Comedy Central Stand Up Featuring in LA. As the Satellite has sadly closed its doors awhile ago, CC will be going to another hip venue in LA on Tues. Mar. 1st, the even more kitschy Lodge Room in Highland Park (the place where you can catch Paul F. Tompkins on a somewhat regular basis these days).

Also, of course, they have rows upon rows upon rows of great handpicked comedians that, if you’re reading this, you’ve might have come to know and love by seeing them making the rounds in LA, NYC, and elsewhere. This gorgeous line-up will include (over 3 shows):

6PM: Brittany Schmitt, Mike Mulloy, Jes Tom, Jamel Johnson, Brandon Wardell & Chloe Radcliffe

8PM: Daniel Weingarten, Giulia Rozzi, Niles Abston, Felonius Munk, Mo Welch & Chloe Hillard

10PM: Danielle Perez, Joey Avery, Ali Macofsky, Sean Grant, Katrina Davis & Caleb Hearon

The show is FREE (almost nothing is free at the Lodge Room, FYI) with RSVP to 21+ with proof of vaccination. Go get your tickets right this second at theblacklistnyc.com/ccsufla.

As the art form of comedy continues to evolve, there have been plenty of documentaries and docu-series that examine how comedy, whether it be stand-up, sketch, improv, etc. has transformed over the decades. The examination of black comedians and their journey, often one that’s mutually exclusive from mainstream/white comedy, has not been as closely examined even though some of the most revered comedians of all time include Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock.

So, Comedy Central’s new digital series, Dark Humor, offers such a look into the experience of black stand-up comedians today and their work that’s reflective of their black experience. It’ll feature plenty of clips as well as interviews from the likes of Baron Vaughn, Tommy Davidson, Sinbad, Nore Davis, Ms. Pat, Sonia Denis, Chloe Hilliard, Lil Rel Howery, Yamaneika Saunders, Roy Wood Jr., Josh Johnson, Damien Lemon, Jordan Temple, Open Mike Eagle, Rae Sanni, Cipha Sounds, Gina Yashere, and more.

They just launched Dark Humor just as Black History Month started and new episodes will come out every Mon. on Comedy Central’s YouTube channel.

You can get a taste of Dark Humor both with the series trailer as well as the very first episode which dives into the deep end by going into black comedy and American politics.
