This week, they got to go toe-to-toe on @midnight. Next week, they’ll get to tape a special that goes back to their roots of raising their voices, gesturing with their hands wildly, and saying “uuuuge”.
On Tuesday, March 29th at 8PM, the fantastic comedy debate phenomenon Trump vs. Bernie starring Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian will tape a special that will air on Fusion at Burbank’s Colony Theatre.
Tickets are $20 and no matter if you’re a tenth-of-the-one-percent-percenter or one of the 99%, you should get them as soon as possible.
Stand-up comedians Hampton Yount, Josh Sharp, Nick Rutherford, Greg Barris, Andrés Du Bouchet, Kiran Deol, Clare O’Kane, and more join host Ryan Singer and guest co-host Dave Waite in not only doing anything that isn’t stand-up, but getting delightfully weird about the whole affair.
Our First Comedy Show in a Hat Shop “Night Cap” Is Less Than Two Weeks Away
Sean Patton! Baron Vaughn! Margot Leitman! Andy Peters! Hats! Comedy! Hat giveaway! Jake Kroeger! More Comedy!

In short, don’t miss out on this and get your tickets now; it’s going to be great and you could win a hat.
We’re always suckers for behind the mic/curtain of comedy, especially when it’s done by our good friend Steve Feinartz (director of The Bitter Buddha) and is in black and white and features Kyle Kinane AND is profiling the brand new weekly comedy show brought to you by the comedian writers of Vice Magazine (Josh Androksy, Dave Schilling, Megan Koester, Allen Strickland Williams, Grant Pardee, and Alison Stevenson) called Entitlement (the show is happening tonight).

Set List – the great stand up show idea by Troy Conrad. I did the show tonight with a bunch of great comics. The premise is: a comic is given a “set list” that you’ve never seen before and you perform it like it’s been in your act forever. It’s a fantastic idea for a show and a heck of an…
Great recap from a great comic of a great show. Trust me, I was there and it was…. GREAT!!! (think Tony the Tiger)
