In case you were wondering, Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow, Dave Attell, Colin Quinn, Vanessa Bayer and Mike Birbiglia are having plenty of fun on The Trainwreck Comedy Tour. 

For instance, a fan left a copy of Judd Apatow’s new book Sick In The Head on stage with a message inside requesting that he graciously autograph the book. However, the book was discovered while Mike Birbiglia was on stage and Mike, for a funny moment, gave a surprising reaction. It was the sort of surprise that Apatow felt needed a revenge.

Watch the whole sequence of events transpire here, then watch more road footage of the Trainwreck tour here.

There are very few podcasts, let alone comedy podcasts, that have made it to a decade of longevity and are still thriving after all this time.

One of those podcasts is Keith and the Girl with Keith Malley and Chemda Khalili and they’re coming up on the 10 year milestone with their show. It’s a big occasion and Keith and Chemda have something appropriately big in store to celebrate.

They are gearing up to go on tour across the U.S. as well as do a 30 hour comedy marathon featuring a plethora of great comedians. That all sounds great, but they’re doing a Kickstarter to raise enough money to pull all of their 10 year master plan off.

They’re looking to raise $15,000 by Dec. 19th and, as of this post, are at $6,216. Watch their video, read about the prizes, and donate to their Kickstarter here.

If you were lucky enough to actually get to go Bob Odenkirk’s album taping for AST Records months ago, you might have noticed Brandon Wardell opening the show, which is pretty standard for a comedy album taping. 

However, having the opener also on your album is sort of unprecedented. Leave it to Odenkirk to keep us all guessing, but we’re happy to hear that not only will Wardell be on the album Amateur Hour, but he will be going on tour with Odenkirk in October.

That’s right Bob Odenkirk is going on tour in October. More details will be coming soon.
