The election is well past us now and Biden is going to be 46th POTUS, which means Trump won’t thankfully be President anymore. In LA, a lot of progressive measures/candidates got voted in. Yet, as you might very well know, there is plenty of more organizing, strategizing, mobilizing that has to be done to actually affect real change.

Ground Game LA has been a great mutual aid LA org that will be crucial going forward in instituting and sustaining said change. Thus, they’re putting on a virtual Winter Fundraiser that will not only include appearances by newly elected LA councilwoman Nithya Raman, but a stacked row of LA comedy favorites such as D’arcy Carden, Ira Madison, Quinta Brunson, Adam Conover, Mal Blum, Nicole Byer, and Rhea Butcher.

Some of the best comedy live-streams have been benefit fundraisers, especially when Nithya has been involved, and this Ground Game LA Winter Fundraiser should be no different. The live-stream is set for Dec. 10th at 7PM PT/10PM ET and donations will be accepted for access (you can even stream for free if you’d like).

Quibi really did snatch up quite a bit of content when amassing their war chest before their launch a few months ago. Even though so many folks that opted in for a free trial didn’t stick around after said free trial ended, Quibi can still stand tall with some recent Emmy nominations and still having shows up their sleeve that might just catch your eye once they roll them out.

One of those series is coming very soon, Mon. Aug. 10th in fact, from Paula Pell and John Lutz called Mapleworth Murders. From the trailer, the series not only trails murderers in a humble, sleepy town, but also calls into question why (as with so many similar mystery/crime shows) have so many murderers in one place. Mapleworth Murders boasts quite the ensemble cast with Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, D’Arcy Carden, Tim Meadows, Patton Oswalt, Jack McBrayer, Pam Murphy, Ben Warheit, Annie Mumolo, Ike Barinholtz, Marry Holland, James Anderson, and Drew Tarver.

Whether or not you’ve got or still have Quibi, you can certainly enjoy Pell and Lutz’s joyful send-up of Murder She Wrote with its official trailer here.

For this special charity, live-stream edition, you will have to get your chance to see UCB’s best without having worry about buying tickets weeks in advance or standing hours in a line.

All of the founding UCB 4 (Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts) are slated to perform throughout the four shows in addition to Bobby Moynihan, Ego Nwodim, D’Arcy Carden, Lauren Lapkus, Carl Tart, Seth Morris, Andy Daly, Lennon Parham, Jessica St. Clair, Sean Conroy, Eugene Cordero, Anthony Atamanuik, Jon Gabrus, John Gemberling, and so much more.

The four shows happening on Fri. May 1st & Sat. May 2nd will be dedicated to raising funds for Frontline Responders Fund, Project C.U.R.E., NYC Mayor’s Fund: Food For Heroes, and LA COVID-19 Crisis Fund.

By the way, they’re all scheduled out so you’ll be able to watch them all. Tune in May 1st & May 2nd at both 5PM PT/8PM ET & 8PM PT/11PM ET on UCB’s YouTube channel here.

Exquisite hosting duo Matt Rogers and Dave Mizzoni have spent years fine tuning their amazing game show extravaganza, Gayme Show. Essentially, two straight male comedians compete in challenges that test the depth of their LGBTQ knowledge to be crowned Gay as F*ck. Of the comedic game shows that we’ve seen up close, this is one of the best, most entertaining, dazzling ones we’ve ever seen.

So, not only is Gayme Show deserving to be made into a TV show, which it will be on Quibi, but it is undoubtedly one of the shows we’re most looking forward to on the mobile streaming service that’s finally arriving next month.

For this version, you ought to know that guests and judges for Gayme Show include Ilana Glazer, Rachel Bloom, Darcy Carden, Jon Gabrus, John Gemberling, Joel Kim Booster.

See and enjoy just a taste of all of this with Gayme Show’s trailer here.

Once more, Eliot Glazer is gracing us with the most beautiful cover songs of what is considered to be the hot messes of the Billboard Top 100 this Friday.

It will be a great night whether you’re pro- or anti-Valentine’s day and whether you’re with someone or not.

Well, there’s probably not going to be another chance for you to see all these folks on stage together to do improv and it’s for such a great cause (The Improv Project, a free performing arts program for Detroit youth). Also, Mike Schur and Manny Jacinto (also from The Good Place) will be special guests.

So, we definitely think it’s worth the $15-$75 at the gorgeous Palace Theatre as well as making the trip to DTLA. Go get your tickets for The Shirt Show here.
