catalina comedy island, catalina island, dave attell, los angeles comedy, michelle wolf, stand up comedy

As Labor Day weekend is just around the corner, you might be thinking to yourself that a long weekend isn’t enough a break that you so desperately need as this current slow apocalypse keeps oozing along.

Maybe you need two of them?

Certainly, that would allow you, if you’re in and around LA, to go to Catalina Island’s first Catalina Comedy Island, a weekend long mini comedy festival that allows you to take in being in the Pacific Ocean without being too far from Los Angeles.

Running on Fri. Sept. 9th and Sept. 10th at the Catalina Island Casino, you can take your pick of Bumping Mics with Dave Attell, Jeff Ross, and Michelle Wolf OR Dana Carvey & sons or watch both. Tickets for either show start at $85, but you can get 10% off with promo code “BUREAU10”.

Get more details (including the Saturday night 11:45pm ferry), tickets, and more at catalinacomedyisland.com.

OK, are fingers are crossed (and vaccinated) that this time, this edition of the Moontower Comedy Festival is going to stick. They’ve had to reschedule it more than once throughout the pandemic as the prospect of big time gatherings, especially ones that are indoors seem like a distant dream only a few months ago.

That dream seems to be getting closer to reality with the vaccine rollout pushing forward in the U.S. There are better prospects of things like comedy festivals, such as Moontower in Austin, TX, to happen in full force again. Currently, they’re scheduled the festivities for Sept. 22nd-25th, 2021 and, just like they used to do in the before times, have an already massive line-up in their first announcement including Margaret Cho, Dave Attell, Maria Bamford, The Goddamn Comedy Jam, Endless Honeymoon, and so much more.

Do note that Texas does have one of the lowest percentages of COVID-19 vaccination in the country and we sincerely hope it gets way better by the time September rolls around. If you’re game for comedy festivals in just a few months, you best go get your passes/badges right here right now.

Round 1 is here! ? 100+ comedians are invading downtown Austin Sept 22nd-25th to celebrate the 10th year of the Moontower Comedy Festival! Stand-up, podcasts, parties, shows, surprises & more wrapped up into for 4 days of funny ? Badges on sale now: https://t.co/LM5GmRJOyZ pic.twitter.com/apOTPooQvi

Jon Benjamin as Ben and Laura Silverman reprising her role as Dr. Katz’s receptionist. Both for the “clients” and the audience, it should be a healing, hysterical experience.

Colin Quinn has been expertly dissecting every single trope of every police procedural/detective TV series with Cop Show.

In fact, Quinn has done it so well with showing how overdone so many cop shows are, but pointing out their fallacies with “behind-the-scenes” footage and interviews with a mysterious European journalist, that he’s made it to a 3rd season over at L Studio.

Help Make Sure “The Adventures of Drunky” Gets Finished on Indiegogo

Earlier this year, we reported on an enticing R-rated animated feature in the works called The Adventures of Drunky that follows a bet for the fate of the planet between God and The Devil and a drunk.

From top billing to cameos, the cast is stellar including Sam Rockwell, Steve Coogan, Jeffrey Tambor, Dave Attell, Tyler The Creator, Abby Elliott, John Leguizamo, Jon Glaser, Jay Pharoah, Noel Wells, and James Adomian.

Sounds pretty great, right? 

Well, Augenblick Studios has the script done and the dialogue recorded, but need funds to finish animating the whole thing. Thus, an Indiegogo campaign was born.

So far, they’ve raised $27,331 at the time of this post out of their minimum $100K goal. That will get them through the next step of production, but they’re looking to raise $2 million to finish the entire movie. They have just over three weeks to reach their goal and have fabulous rewards at various donations levels including lunch with Jeffrey Tambor, a personal insult voicemail from Dave Attell, digital copy of the movie and more.

Here’s God, as voiced by Jeffrey Tambor, and director Aaron Augenblick filling you in on all the details. 

You can (and should) donate here.
