July 10, 2024

It’s the rare and celebrated “birds” in comedy that wheel and deal in silly one-liners and that’s why we’re greatful for Tyler Jackson. Jackson walks the path of the completely absurd and farcical and is so goddamn funny in doing so. We catch Tyler in the days leading up to his upcoming debut taping (that you absolutely should go to) to see how a one-liner silly-billy comedian prepares to go for a whole hour and put it on wax.

Follow Tyler @tjaxkson and get tix to his debut taping on 7/12 at the Yard Theater here.

Pick of the Day: Tim Platt: Teeth Like Beak ALBUM RECORDING (in NYC) 2/29

January 8, 2024

It has been true for awhile and it will very likely continue to be true for years to come: Tim Platt is one of the most original voices in NYC comedy. Oscillating between absurdist characters and jokes as Tim and the same for his sweetly personal songs, Tim has so many enthralling facets to his comedy and it feels like he has, perhaps, only scratched the surface.

With that in mind, you should go to his album taping for TEETH LIKE BEAK coming to Union Hall on what will be a very special Thurs. Feb. 29th at 7:30PM & 10PM. Tickets are only $11.55 and you best get tix here.

Pick of the Day: Jacqueline Novak Get On Your Knees Taping (in NYC) 6/9

April 21, 2023

Since the brilliant Jacqueline Novak has been performing her lauded and acclaimed solo show, Get On Your Knees, directed by the also brilliant John Early, years before the pandemic, it seems as though she has been doing the hysterical poesy of her hour long show about the sexual politics of blowjobs for at least a decade. We’ve had the expressed privilege of seeing it several forms in different venues and enjoyed the exclusive privilege of seeing it become the juggernaut of a solo show that it has around the world.

So, it only stands to reason that it should be shot as a special to be shown to even more folks, right?

Thankfully, that’s happening this Summer after what must be hundreds of performances at this point. Novak will be taping Get On Your Knees to cap off one final run of the show at Town Hall in NYC on Jun. 9th. There will be an early show at 7PM, which is already sold out, but you can still snag tickets for a 10PM show at $42 a pop right now (and we highly suggest not waiting).

Pick of the Day: Shane Torres Live Special Taping (in NYC) 3/18

Shane Torres is and has been one of the funniest comics working out of NYC. Just watch him do an entire late night set on (and consequently have the definitive bit about) Guy Fieri.

With that in mind on top of the fantastic album Established 1981, it’s a bit wild that Shane hasn’t done an hour special yet. Thanks to the shirtless wonder that is Bert Kreischer, Shane is going to change that and tape his very first hour next week.

Specifically, Shane is doing two tapings, 7PM & 10PM on Sat. Mar. 18th, at The Sultan Room in Brooklyn with tickets going for $25.14 a pop. You can (and very much should) get them here and here respectively.

Pick of the Day: Phoebe Robinson HBO Special Taping (in NYC) 8/13

As live comedy is returning to some of the pace and volume that it used to be, so are exclusive tapings of comedy specials for big time networks and streaming services (and it won’t be something unprecedented like a drive-in or sitting at a converted part of Universal Studios).

The latest high profile special that will be taped will feature Phoebe Robinson, whom you ought to know from 2 Dope Queens/Doing the Most/Tiny Rep Books/guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, for HBO Max. Robinson will be bringing her first hour filled with her hot takes on the world that are equal parts sharp and bubbly to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden on Fri. Aug. 13th for two shows, 8PM ET & 10PM ET.

Best of all, tickets are free and you best go RSVP for them right here right now.

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.

Jim Bruce Taping Comedy Special Next Week

Jim Bruce has been around the LA comedy scene for awhile and his stand up has been sort of a hidden gem even though he’s played in so many places in this city over the years.

Bruce is taping a comedy special, I’m Dying as Fast as I Can, at The Westside Comedy Theater next week on Sun. Oct. 6th at 7PM after raising the money on Kickstarter to do so and we think you should attend not only to support indie comedy without the backing of a label, brand, etc., but someone who definitely knows how to pull off great jokes about death and suicide.
