The Goddamn Comedy Jam Special Premieres Tonight

Pete Davidson, Natasha Leggero, Jim Jefferies, Jay Pharoah, Adam DeVine, Josh Adam Meyers, and his band Elemenopy will dish out jokes and then rock the mic with a song of their choosing.
Don’t worry, you should have time to watch both the MTV VMAs and then immediately after.

You can look forward to seeing half-hours from Cy Amundson, Erik Bergstrom, Ahmed Bharoocha, Matthew Broussard, Naomi Ekperigin, Nate Fernald, Noah Gardenswartz, Emily Heller, Martha Kelly, Joe Machi, Drew Michael, Aparna Nancherla, Jacqueline Novak, Mike Recine Ramon Rivas, Ali Saddiq, and Nick Turner.

Doug Stanhope Next Special “No Place Like Home” Is Coming to Seeso Next Month
In a year where Doug Stanhope is getting really personal (check out his book Digging Up Mother: A Love Story), Stanhope made sure that his latest special was literally close to home.
That’s right, this latest special No Place Like Home was shot in Bisbee, AZ where Doug currently resides.
You won’t have to wait long before you can see it as it is slated to premiere and stream on Seeso on September 15th (You do have Seeso, by now, right?).
The Roastmaster General Jeff Ross, like he did with inmates in his last special, wants to get to know cops and is doing so through by spending some time following them through their job, talking with them, and, of course, dishing out some roast jokes. Ross got to do this with the Boston Police Department, police brutality protesters, and even a police commissioner.
Take note that the whole week might very well be a roast week for Comedy Central as The Roast of Rob Lowe airs a few days before.
Also, take note that Jeff Ross Roasts Cops will premiere on Saturday, September 10th at 11PM and not on 9/11 or 9/12.
Neal Brennan is taping a special for his special solo show 3 Mics for Netflix next month. RSVP for your free tickets here.

Kurt Braunohler indeed is taping an hour long stand-up special for Comedy Central. Called Trust Me, he’ll be taping it in Portland, OR at Revolution Hall on Saturday, September 24th.
Given his skywriting, jet skiing, driving a giant butt cross country, and other such large scale acts of absurdity, we personally can’t wait to see what Kurt does with an hour of stand-up on national television.
If you can go, you should go and you can get free tickets here.
Finally, the world now has a Henry Phillips special at its finger tips. For years, we’ve enjoyed Henry’s sly hijinks-laden humor and in Neither Here Nor There, directed by Steve Feinartz, that wonderfully mischievous spirit has been crafted into a very solid hour of stand-up and musical comedy.
Do yourself a favor and spend either $7.99 to stream and download Neither Here Nor There or $4.99 to stream over a 48 hour period right over at Vimeo on Demand.
Boyish Girl Interrupted, I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine), and Neither Here Nor There are now available for the “listening-inclined”.
If you’re either the sort of person that prefers their stand-up with audio only or one that doesn’t have an HBO or Netflix account/password, you can now get to listen to three comedy specials from three of our favorite comedians making the rounds these days.
Tig Notaro’s Boyish Girl Interrupted, first premiered as an HBO special, is now on iTunes.
Jen Kirkman’s I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine), first premiered as a Netflix special, is also now available on iTunes.
Henry Phillips’ Neither Here Nor There is set to premiere as a comedy special on Vimeo On Demand on August 15th, but you can stream the audio version on Audible’s streaming service, Channels, if you’re an Audible member right now. On August 19th, the album version will be available digitally at iTunes and wherever else digital albums or sold.
So, get in on all of these, especially for the fact that you can now probably clock in three new hours of fine comedy while working.
Here is just your friendly reminder that David Cross’ latest hour of stand-up (it’s been six years since that last happened) is now streaming on Netflix and perhaps you should go watch it before you get caught in the Rio Olympics.
This is another preview clip of David Cross: Making America Great Again just in case you’re not convinced and already on Netflix watching it.
…along with a live performance by Henry Phillips and guests Eddie Pepitone and Brendon Walsh.
Tickets are $5 and you can and should get them here.
The rest of our listings for comedy shows/events as well as open mics and maps are embedded at www.thecomedybureau.com.
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s almost here.
That’s right, another David Cross stand-up special, Making America Great Again, is coming next month.
Here’s the trailer to prove it.
David Cross: Making America Great Again starts streaming on Friday, August 5th on Netflix.
TJ Miller To Do HBO Comedy Special After Nationwide Tour
If you remember what TJ did as the latest host of The Critics Choice Awards, you’ll know that we’re all in for something special on both the tour and the special.
Announced today, Henry Phillips’ (who you have probably seen when we’ve posted about Henry’s Kitchen) latest hour Neither Here Nor There from Rooftop Comedy will be coming soon.
You’ll have range of options to enjoy a great combo of stand-up and song from Henry starting with it streaming on Audible’s audio streaming service Channels on July 22nd, then released as a comedy special through Vimeo on August 15th, and then released as a digital album on August 19th.
You can mark your calendars for all these dates, but we’ll be sure to remind you when they come around too.
Forged from the fires of going up every night around LA over the last few years, Simon Gibson has made himself into a masterfully self-deprecating joy to watch.
Thanks to Honora, the rest of the world will now get to see Gibson via a stand-up special available on BitTorrent for free. It’s all above board; don’t worry.
Jefferies’ latest hour is here.
Netflix continues their procession of big time comedy specials with Jim Jefferies’ Free Dumb that started streaming yesterday.
In addition to binging Albert Brooks’ movies this weekend, you should also watch this. You’ll have time to get through all of it because the real 4th of July fireworks aren’t even until Monday.
Now with a family, one might think that Jim Jefferies might ease up in his playing-with-fire style of stand-up, but it’s clear in this trailer that Jim Jefferies will be the very same edgy Jim Jefferies. With this latest special Freedumb on Netflix, he just points his unfiltered lens at what the world is like now that he has done the whole family thing for awhile.
Watch the trailer for Freedumb here, then look for it to start streaming on July 1st.
Showtime had such a good time the first time with stand-up down at SXSW that they went back for a 2nd year.
So, this round of SXSW Comedy will premiere on Friday, July 15th with Natasha Leggero, Baron Vaughn, James Adomian, and Andrew Santino.
Get a taste of it with this teaser.
They’ll also have Adam Devine and Jay Pharoah.
The hit show The Goddamn Comedy Jam is getting an hour special on Comedy Central. The names above will do stand-up and then belt out a song of their own along with host/ringleader to the jam, Josh Adam Meyers, at the taping that’s happening on Tuesday, June 21st.
You can try and get on the waitlist for the show here.
10PM on Showtime and 11PM on IFC respectively.
Showtime’s latest hour long stand-up special will come in the form of Ben Gleib: Neurotic Gangster. You might know Ben as the host of Idiotest on the Game Show Network, but he happens to be a skilled stand-up comedian as well.
After that, season 5 of Comedy Bang! Bang!, the TV series, on IFC will premiere its 5th season, which just happens to also be the first season that that musical parody king Weird Al Yankovic will serve as bandleader next to host Scott Aukerman.
Watching this should be one of your top priorities today.
Almost 3 years ago, Bo Burnham‘s last special what. and really succeeded in pushing the limits of what a comedy special as well as musical comedy can and should be.
Naturally, we’re excited that today is the day that his new comedy special, Make Happy, the follow-up to what., is now streaming on Netflix.
With that said, go watch it ASAP.
10PM on HBO.

Bo Burnham’s next special is just around the corner.

Dan Soder’s very first hour stand-up special, ironically titled Not Special, will premiere tonight and do so at a somewhat reasonable hour (many stand-up specials air after midnight).
