Sometimes, there’s just an amazing line-up for a classic stand-up show at a comedy club and tickets are still available for not a crazy price and those things together are worthy of highlighting.

Such is the case of Hopkins & Friends at The Stand this Sunday. Along with host Jess Hopkins, an incredibly choice NYC line-up of Adam Pally, Phoebe Robinson, Moses Storm, Daniel Simonsen, James Austin Johnson, Dina Hashem, Ilana Glazer, and John Hopkins (assuming that’s not someone from the prestigious medical institution?) will be taking The Stand’s Main Room stage at 8PM on Jan. 22nd and you ought to know that will be one hell of a show.

Also, tickets are only $25 (and there’s no item minimum). Go get ’em before they sell out here.

Pick of the Day: Daniel Simonsen (in LA) 10/7

Daniel Simonsen only comes through LA only every so often, but you shouldn’t miss one of the most original and unique voices in comedy right now whenever you can see it. Not only is Simonsen’s actual physical voice unique as he hails from Norway, but the angles in which Daniel takes to approach his comedy are also singular to him in such thoroughly funny way. There’s something so starkly dry and atypical about his delivery and cadence and that’s just skimming the surface of why and how he’s so damn funny.

Daniel is set to headline Dynasty Typewriter this week on Thurs. Oct. 7th at 8PM. Tickets are $20 right now and $25 on the day of (proof of vaccination required). Go get your tickets right now.

A true, curious treasure from Norway, Daniel Simonsen has honed and imbued his marvelously offbeat sense of humor and rhythm in NYC, even recently getting a set on Colbert.

Simonsen has popped up in LA every now and again, but later this month, he’ll be doing headlining in a special limited engagement at the Lyric Hyperion that you absolutely should catch.

Though he kind of has the voice and cadence of some kid trying too hard to do an impression of the Terminator, Daniel Simonsen plays off it and uses it to his advantage in his offbeat, yet marvelous stand-up comedy.

This Colbert set from last night marks Simonsen making the rounds in late night as he already has a set from Seth Meyers under his belt.

Please enjoy Daniel’s latest performance here.

It will always be amazing to us when someone whose native tongue isn’t English figures out how to handily do stand-up in English. It’s another whole level of fluency in a language that, like so many things in comedy, just can’t be taught.

Daniel Simonsen who is originally, as mentioned above, from Norway made his very first American TV appearance last night on Late Night with Seth Meyers and, to our point, has managed to toy with nuances of English as well as his play it up with his hilariously bone dry stage persona.

So, please enjoy Daniel Simonsen’s very first U.S. TV/late night appearance here.
