If you’re going to travel by plane these days, a private jet would seem to be the way to go in terms of keeping yourself safe from COVID-19. Of course, not all of us can afford it, but for those who can, you really ought to live life about the world in quarantine to the fullest.

That’s what the spicy couple Juanita Carmelita and Peter do on a “special” private jet that they have all to themselve. The chemistry between the pair, played respectively by Dress Up Gang‘s Frankie Quinones and Donny Divanian, is pretty undeniable even if it’s potentially looks like it’s going to heat up too much, and, as such, so damn fun to bear witness to.

Enjoy their latest tryst here.

It’s finally happening. The absolutely deserving Dress Up Gang are finally get their day to properly release the series that they made for TBS that was shelved indefinitely. There were multiple attempts to show/screen the series over the course of several months, which always received such a warm reception and yet, was ultimately shut down from a wider distribution.

Thankfully, in this time when networks are trying to snatch up/make any content that they can, it indeed ended up being a perfect time for TBS to un-shelve such a hysterical show. Announced last night, Dress Up Gang’s Donny Divanian tweeted that TBS brass have opted to release the series via TBS app and VOD starting this very Friday.

Again, we’d like to reiterate that The Dress Up Gang managed to be more about nothing than Seinfeld and yet, be cleverly upbeat and so damn funny. It’s definitely worth your time to binge watch this weekend.

So excited to share that our show The Dress Up Gang will be released this Friday, May 1st on the TBS app and VOD! First ep will be available to anyone. Here’s a trailer for the episode Finding Frankie pic.twitter.com/G7tqQdq2c4

Yes, The Comedy Bureau will have officially served the LA comedy scene for 7 years at the end of this month. That’s 56 years in dog years and (probably 70 in “bureau years”?)

This time, we actually took enough of a break to remind ourselves that we should put on a show (and actually try to make some money doing so).

As you can see from this scrawled upon napkin straight from the very desk of TCB itself, it ought to be a really good time. Also, there will be a raffle that includes fancy enamel pins, our album (more on that later), etc.

You can get tickets now for $10 or $15 cash at door. Get tickets, more details (that are more legible) here.

One of the more exciting things, for us (and hopefully for you), coming to TBS soon is the new eponymous TV series from The Dress Up Gang.

If you’re a long time fan, this teaser for the TBS series is the newest bit of Dress Up Gang that has been dropped in quite some time. If you’re new to them, please enjoy this little morsel that captures what they do pretty well.

In either case, it’s pretty swell to see TBS is continuing to put money down on their off-kilter brand of comedy.

By The Way, The Dress Up Gang (Robb Boardman, Donny Divanian, Cory Loykasek) Are Going to Make My Roommate, My Friend Into a Series on TBS

In the flurry of upfronts, we missed the mention of how the much beloved Dress Up Gang will be adapting their cult hit web series My Roommate, My Friend into a full fledged TV show at TBS. The show focuses on a subtle, yet slight absurd relationship between two roommates that is simultaneously two friends living together and something like a legal guardian taking care of a child.

The TV adaptation of the web series is currently untitled, but it very much follows the premise of the original.

They actually took down all the episodes from various sources online. So, until the show hits the air, you’ll have to had been lucky enough to catch them in years past to really see what we’re talking about.

Hopefully, the premiere will be very soon.

For a lot of us, the holidays and especially Christmas can be a real lonesome time. Friends, family, and more are out of town and it can be hard to muster the wherewithal to reach out or see anyone.

Luckily, sketch group The Dress Up Gang feels the same way and knows exactly what you’re going through (provided you just went through a break-up with a celebrity). So, they made this holiday sketch/short film for you to enjoy and hopefully cure your holiday blues whether you know you have them or not. 

Watch the latest installment of their web series My Roommate, My Friend, “A Christmas Rebound" here.
