Pick of the Day: Dave Ross Tapes His First F*cking Special (in NYC) 6/22

June 5, 2024
News
brooklyn, dave ross, nyc comedy, stand up comedy

It’s no secret that The Gutter has quickly become a hot spot for stand-up in not only Brooklyn, but NYC as a whole and that a lot of quality specials are being produced under that CYSKNYC banner.

The latest such taping will be none other than the debut special of one Dave Ross, formerly beloved LA comedy stalwart now transplanted and really in his groove in the NYC scene. It has been years since Dave’s very first recorded hour, the wonderfully named, The Only Man Who Has Ever Had Sex, and we can’t wait to see Dave’s signature voice and effortless and hilarious shifts between sarcasm and sincerity in a full fledged comedy special.

For those in NYC, get tickets for one of the two tapings on Sat. Jun. 22nd at 8PM or 10:30PM (they’re only $10) and be part of what should be hell of a great night of stand-up comedy.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 219: Dave Ross & Getting Back Into Doing Everything

June 5, 2024
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
dave ross, nyc comedy

There was a time where Dave Ross was doing seemingly all the things you could be doing in comedy in LA and doing them so well. While that was years ago, Dave has since transplanted himself to NYC, taken some much needed rest, and then revved himself back up to putting on his own live shows, putting out a record out once a month, and prepping for his very first special taping (on 6/22 @ The Gutter in Brooklyn-Tix available here). We catch up with Dave while he’s on the road to talk all about thriving in NYC and diving back into everything he took a break from.

Follow Dave @davetotheross and keep up at davetotheross.com, buy his 7 inch records/merch here, and go to his first special taping last

Pick of the Day: Good Heroin NYC 4/11

March 11, 2024
News
dave ross, good heroin, julian mccullough, natalie norman, nyc comedy, stand up comedy

Looks like NYC is going to get some Good Heroin!

Good Heroin has been one of LA’s longest running weekly shows, a haven for indie comedy nestled in the back patio of the charming Stories Books & Cafe in Echo Park every Saturday night. Dave Ross and Matt Ingebretson founded the show years and years ago and gathered quite the following for one hell of a weekly stand-up show. Matt moved on to write and produce amazing, critically acclaimed TV (Corporate and This Fool) and Dave moved to NYC and the show in LA is under the more than capable hosting hands of Lindsay Adams and Rob Haze same place, every Saturday at 7PM.

As Dave has rooted himself in NYC over the last few years, he’s aiming to give NYC it’s very own Good Heroin that will be at an equally charming and kitschy venue, an instrument store called Main Drag Music in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Per usual, Dave is going to have wondrous co-hosts in Julian McCullough and Natalie Norman as well as very, VERY, VERY stacked inaugural line-up including:

Sydnee Washington @justsydbw (Don’t Tell Comedy, Comedy Central’s Up Next)
Dan Soder @dansoder (The Standups on Netflix’s)
Rosebud Baker @rosebudbaker (Netflix’s, SNL)
Andy Haynes @imandyhaynes (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, Comedy Central’s Roast Battle)
Courtney Maginnis @courtneymaginnis (Comedy Central, College Humor)
Petey DeAbreu @pdeezjokes (Comedy Central’s ClusterFest)

This very first Good Heroin NYC is set for Thurs. Apr. 4th at 8PM. Tickets are $17.85 and you better snag them up quick before they inevitably sell out right here. Also, do yourself a favor and keep up with @goodheroinnyc on IG.

TCB Debriefing 10/6/23: Welcome to Flatch, Dave Ross and Ismael Loutfi’s Mostly Trains Tour, She Came to Me, Rooster Teeth

October 6, 2023
News
dave ross, ismael loutfi, rooster teeth, she came to me, welcome to flatch

1. Jenny Bicks and Paul Feig’s Welcome to Flatch canceled following its second season (TV Line). Is it possible that TV mockumentaries have reached their limit?

2. Dave Ross and Ismael Loutfi could just go on a stand-up tour and we’d tell you that it would be worth your hard earned money and sparing free time to go see them, but they’re upping the ante by going on tour almost entirely by train across North America with the aptly named Mostly Trains Tour. So, they’re probably lowering their carbon footprint and will undoubtedly have the best material on trains that anyone has heard in decades. Go see dates and get tickets at mostlytrains.davetotheross.com.

3. She Came to Me, a comedy about an opera composer who gets out of a creative rut by starting an affair with a tugboat captain, is playing in limited release starting this weekend. If Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway, Marisa Tomei, and director Rebecca Miller aren’t enough of sell, that premise should peak your curiosity plenty.

4. One of the biggest YouTube channels out there, Rooster Teeth is opting to depart the online video giant in favor of creating their own exclusive video platform/streaming service (Deadline). If you thought the proliferation of streaming services would stop with just international media conglomerates, you better get ready for boutique streaming services like Rooster Teeth to start popping up more and more.

5. We’ll leave you with this: How much longer before all they hecklers are “destroyed” so the art of live comedy can be enjoyed as intended? Or are they REALLY being “destroyed”?

Pick of the Day: WAR (in NYC) Mondays Starting 3/27

March 13, 2023
News
brooklyn, dave ross, james austin johnson, neel ghosh, nyc comedy, stand up comedy, union hall

Over the last couple of years, whether you know it or not, NYC has gotten some true gems from the LA comedy scene. Namely, James Austin Johnson, Neel Ghosh, and Dave Ross have relocated to New York and spreading their honed comedy wares across the five boroughs. They all had their own respective, cherished comedy happenings that they built out in LA (Rod Stewart Live, Night Voyage, Good Heroin), but they’re set on making their mark in NYC (especially if they’re not already on SNL… yet).

So, these three hysterical LA-to-NYC transplants are banding together to make use of the fact that are way more night owls in New York and are setting up a weekly late night, Monday stand-up show at Brooklyn’s venerable comedy stage, Union Hall. What are they calling this 10PM Monday night comedy hang in Park Slope that’s probably equal parts chill and madcap fun? WAR. Perhaps, a perfect name?

 WAR commences on (most) Mondays at Union Hall starting Mar. 27th at $11.55 a pop. Go get tickets over and over here.

 

Dave Ross and Chris Cresswell Make One of the Shortest (and Tiniest) Comedy Albums of All Time with “Almost Nothing”

June 10, 2022
News
chris cresswell, dave ross, shortest album, vinyl record

There is such a proliferation of comedy on a daily basis thanks to the Internet and all of its tendrils (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, podcasts, Substack, OnlyFans), making it harder and harder to stand out from the ever burgeoning population of folks in some sort of comedy lane.

That said, it’s not impossible and Dave Ross and Chris Chriswell prove that today with their tiny 4 in. vinyl record aptly named Almost Nothing.

It qualifies as an EP with more than three songs and coming under 30 minutes with four podcast themes of shows that Dave started during lockdown as well as a great two minute joke by Dave. The entire running time of Almost Nothing makes it, to our knowledge, the second shortest comedy album of all time (the shortest record goes to Jarrod Alonge’s far too long How To Pronounce Band Names: Warped Tour Edition). However, the physical size of the record and the fact that Dave and Chris actually had it physically pressed and that the podcast theme songs and Dave’s going-to-the-gym joke are actually worth way more than than the four minutes and change you’d actually spend listening to it.

Also, Dave made a whole, thoroughly entertaining page for the album with the URL: nothing.guns.beer.

The layers of what we think of as a comedy artifact and an album and a joke are kind of beautifully hysterical and you can (and should) buy Almost Nothing here.

Oh, if you’re the streaming type Dave adds, “OR IF YOU JUST WANNA HEAR THE TRACKS, PLEASE STREAM THEM! THE ALBUM IS PAY-WHAT-YOU-WANT ON BANDCAMP, SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE, OR PAY US A CENT OR TWO, OR PAY US A BILLION DOLLARS. IF YOU ARE JEFF BEZOS, PLEASE PAY US A BILLION DOLLARS. IT’S ALSO ON THE BIG BAD APPS LIKE SPOTIFY AND APPLE MUSIC CUZ WE ALL HAVE THOSE, WE CAN’T HELP IT, EVEN THOUGH WE HATE IT, I’M SORRY THE WORLD IS LIKE THIS.”

Pick of the Day: Pitch A Movie: The Show Where Comedians Make Up Movies on the Fly! (in NYC) 6/11

News
brittany carney, brooklyn, clare o'kane, cobra club, dave ross, midnight gardeneners league, mike hanford, nyc comedy, pitch a movie

Top Gun: Maverick just broke box office records (and probably will continue to do so) further encouraging studios to not take on anything original or hear fresh pitches. In fact, if you’re wondering how or when you’d see any new releases that are truly original or out of the box at your local movie theater, there’s not a real great answer for that.

With that in mind, DC’s only comedy secret society, The Midnight Gardeners League, has come up with a show where you’ll get to hear such originality as it’ll showcase great comedians pitching jokes off of their material only to be judged by a “renowned film auteur”. This first NYC outing will feature what we’re sure will be blockbuster movie pitches from a grand line-up of Brittany Carney, Mike Hanford, Clare O’Kane, and Dave Ross.

Mark down Sat. Jun. 11th at 8PM ET to be at Brooklyn’s Cobra Club to hear things that should very likely be greenlit rather than be subjected to more mandatory MCU offerings.

Tickets are $10 and you can (and should) get them here.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 88: Dave Ross & Rededicating Yourself to Comedy

December 1, 2021
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
dave ross, jake kroeger, pen15, simpsons

Dave Ross is pretty much as cherished of a fixture in the LA comedy scene as one can be. Holy Fuck, WOMEN, Suicide Buddies, What’s it Called, and, of course, Good Heroin are just a few of the things that Dave has made over the last decade and change and left an indelible mark in comedy. So, Ross joins the Field Report this week to talk his mental/emotional/spiritual journey in both coming up in comedy in the 2010s and coming back to it out of lockdown. This conversation really spotlights the artistry in comedy and the sort of dedication and humility (on top of being funny) that comedy really requires.

Also, “hot” takes on PEN15, The Simpsons on Disney+ in Hong Kong, and more.

Pick of the Day: Good Heroin (Actually Returns) 10/23

October 13, 2021

comedy show, dave ross, stand up comedy, stories echo park

One of LA’s very best comedy shows, the Saturday Echo Park cornerstone in the scene was and is Good Heroin @ Stories.

The back patio of Stories, the neighborhood book store, cafe, venue in Echo Park is one of our all time favorite haunts. We could wait to crane our neck from the pavement into their lovely patio to watch Dave Ross lead off a stellar stand-up show several weeks ago. Unfortunately, the Delta variant of COVID-19 put the return of Good Heroin on pause for a bit.

Thankfully, the wait is over and LA numbers of COVID-19 cases have been trending down since proof of vaccination requirements have started popping up around the city.

So, we’re thrilled that Dave has announced Good Heroin finally coming back Sat. Oct. 23rd. The show is at 8PM per usual, though you should come early if you want a good seat. The line-up hasn’t been announced yet, but you can rest assured it’s many of the LA scene’s favorites coming out of their comedy sabbaticals through lockdown.

For six years, Santa Cruz has been treated to their very own comedy festival thanks to its local comedy club, DNA’s Comedy Lab.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which it feels almost necessary to reiterate that it’s still very much happening and there’s still very much not a vaccine, has kept most comedy clubs closed and made nearly all comedy festival cancel or postpone their dates or go for a virtual edition. Drive-in comedy shows have also been an option that have arisen in this time, though mainly only taken on by acts that were big enough of a draw to support a nationwide tour of big theaters.

DNA’s Comedy Lab is breaking new ground by doing their 7th Annual Santa Cruz Comedy Festival completely as a drive-in next month, Sat. Oct. 3rd-Sun. Oct. 4th. They’ll be staging at in the parking lot of Saturn Cafe/Walgreens at 201 Front St., Santa Cruz, CA. For a handful shows over these two nights, they’ve got a damn good line-up with Laurie Kilmartin, Kevin Camia, Merrill Davis, Dave Ross, Jason Burke, Alexandria Love, and Butch Escobar.

If you’re up for venturing up to Santa Cruz, you might want to catch this drive-in comedy festival, perhaps one of the first of its kind in just a couple of weeks.

Tickets are $60 per car, $10 of which go to benefit the Ben Lomond Volunteer Fire Department. Go snag your tickets here.

Did you think we would miss a year of the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival?? HA! We’re back baby with an epic lineup and we’re doing it drive in style! Check out https://t.co/DjoPoOhnyr for details & tickets ? 10/3-10/4 pic.twitter.com/8mWVNjaUmI

Good Heroin Is Now a Podcast

comedy podcast, comedy show, dave ross, good heroin

Just to be clear, you can’t get actually get any sort of heroin in podcast form. However, you can get a taste of one of LA comedy’s favorite shows was like on a new weekly podcast.

One of the great weekly joys in the LA comedy scene was venturing down to Stories in Echo Park on a Saturday night to pack tightly into the back patio, spilling out into the parking lot, just to see one of LA’s best indie shows, Good Heroin. Hosts Dave Ross and Matt Ingebretson corralled a stacked line-up every week and put up a wall-to-wall great stand-up show in one of the more alluring, inviting bookstore/cafe patios the city has to offer.

Since it’s unclear when that version of Good Heroin will get to return (it got so packed that there was almost no way you could social distance and safely have that show with how it used to be done), Dave has opted to adapt Good Heroin into podcast that, a la the live show, features bits and clips of stand-up as well as interviews and more clever shenanigans that the format of a podcast allows. If you can imagine being at Stories (if you’re in LA, they are open for you to support FYI), you can get a sense of the wondrous rambunctiousness that was had every Saturday night for years.

Ross already has a few episodes up featuring the likes of Debra DiGiovanni, Sammy Arechar, Kevin Camia, Alex Edelman, Hannah Einbinder, Chris Charpentier, Matt Ingebretson, and Zahid Dewji. Get into, subscribe, etc. Good Heroin with Dave Ross here: goodheroin.buzzsprout.com/

Please Get Dave Ross’ Fantastic Album “The Only Man Who Has Ever Had Sex”

August 23, 2019
Uncategorized
a special thing, ast records, comedy album, dave ross, stand up comedy, the only man who has ever had sex

Dave Ross was one of the first comedians that we saw in the LA scene (back in 2009) when we first started dipping our toe into comedy (even before we created TCB). In that time, it has been a hoot seeing Dave meticulous craft his material over several years into this one very, very good album, The Only Man Who Has Ever Had Sex.

In fact, we have heard all of this material plenty of times, but still thoroughly got a kick out of it hearing in this particularly wonderful performance (that’s playful, loose, self-aware, lightning-in-a-bottle-esque as stand-up comedy recordings should be). Dave’s deconstruction of masculinity is so spot-on and hysterical from every angle. Even the notion that he is dissecting the old idea of what being a man is with a traditionally very manly voice is inherently very funny. The name of the album The Only Man Who Has Ever Had Sex, track titles (I Attack Strangers, I Am God, I Am A Truck, I Scream at Children), and the album’s website http://sex.guns.beer/ also accomplish this goal and makes you laugh no matter how you engage with this album.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s a 152 pg. flipbook that enhances said experience with the same irreverence.

The Only Man Who Has Ever Had Sex is out today from AST Records and you very, very, very much should go get into all of it here.

Dave Ross was one of the first comedians we ever met in LA and one that we’ve delighted in watching from the get go. This set, which just happens to be Dave’s first TV set, is particularly fun as Dave takes on PETA and does one of our favorite closing bits. Also, there’s an unmistakable command of the stage while Dave maintains a charming looseness that we really love.

Additionally, it seems as if Dave had James Corden intro him as “the only man who ever had sex”? Round of applause for that.

Dave Ross and Hampton Yount Started a Great Podcast About Famous Suicides Called “Suicide Buddies”

December 11, 2017
Uncategorized

Honestly, it was only a matter of time before there was a great comedy podcast about suicide.

If you’re a fan of My Favorite Murder, Last Podcast on the Left, Dumb People Town, or The Dollop, Suicide Buddies, which just started on Feral Audio, draws on that same sort of historically comedic format with the focus pointed towards notable suicides throughout history (while riffing the whole way through).

Hosts Hampton Yount and Dave Ross (we’ve enjoyed both’s comedy so much throughout the years) take great care to bring their own comedic lens, empathy, and understanding to the topic while also making sure to note that they don’t take any of it lightly and encourage people to seek help, specifically at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (available 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255). 

The subject matter is fascinating and yet so dark that it almost needs levity from comedians in order for you to get through it. In fact, this podcast succeeds in that regard as well as shining a light on suicidal thoughts that will probably make you feel, if you’re having suicidal thoughts, much less alone in the world.

Famous suicides they’ve covered thus far are famous poet/author Sylvia Plath and R Budd Dwyer who killed himself on TV, which, as these sort of podcasts go, are presented with so much intriguing details that you’re probably never knew.

So, if you want to hear a comedy podcast on suicide, give a listen to Suicide Buddies at Feral Audio here.
