Patton Oswalt Gearing Up For His Next Album/Special Almost Entirely in LA
In this post on his blog entitled “Comedy Without Planes”, Patton Oswalt describes how gone are the days of jetting around the country to refine material for his upcoming special/album. Instead, feeling drawn to his family and his home here in LA, he’s keeping it local and sharpening his jokes and stories around town at places like the Fake Gallery, Largo at the Coronet Theatre, and The Irvine Improv.
Where he will ultimately record his album will be announced, soon, but you should grab tickets to all these shows as we’re sure they will sell very fast.
The highly anticipated Kristen Schaal one hour comedy special, Kristen Schaal: Live at the Fillmore, premieres tomorrow, April 1st, on Comedy Central at MIDNIGHT. If you’re in LA, you can watch it live with a bunch of people at The Virgil after Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal.
Then, the DVD will be available Apr. 2nd the very next day, if, for whatever reason, you missed watching the absolutely hysterical Kristen Schaal do an hour of comedy on national television.
We’re loving what Chill.com is doing with comedians and helping to release and distribute comedy specials. Especially since they’ve gone from Maria Bamford to Ari Shaffir to their latest one from the very funny and sharp, Tom Rhodes, Light Sweet Crude.
Only for $4.99, you can enjoy it right now, which you can do right here.
