andrew steven, dynasty typewriter, live podcast, los angeles, podcast, podglomerate, wayne federman

Few are as equipped as Wayne Federman to discuss the history of comedy, especially stand-up, as Wayne is not only meticulously studied on the topic and a current professor of stand-up at the University of Southern California, but he has been a very funny, ever-evolving comedian for many decades.

His and Andrew Steven’s podcast mini-series The History of Standup on Podglomerate thus is a handy guide through how stand-up has developed rapidly as an art form even though it’s much younger than most other art forms, especially of the live variety.

Wayne and Andrew will be doing a special live ep. of The History of Standup with a TBA special guest at Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theater next Sunday, Nov. 18th at 2PM.

Fans, nerds, and even those just merely curious of stand-up comedy might want to get into this. Tickets are $15 and you can go get them here.

beautiful anonymous, chris gethard, dynasty typewriter, lose well

It’s not often that Chris Gethard swings by LA, so you really ought not to pass up a chance to see him.

Also, a live taping of his amazing podcast Beautiful Anonymous is another thing that you should make plans for whenever it happens.

It comes out on Oct. 16th, but if you pre-order right now, “Chris will send you a video message, an audio file you can use as your outgoing voicemail message, or he’ll call you directly for a two-minute chat!”

Rather than wait for comedy folks to make fun of a bad movie that finds its way to your local multiplex, come watch them dream up something that’s so bad that it’s funny (and, of course, subsequently reveling in how bad/stereotypical/derivative/hack it is) at the new live comedy show Setflix.

Looking at this line-up, which includes a longtime member of Screen Junkies and a co-host of The Bechdel Cast along with a co-host of The Simpsons podcast Everything’s Coming Up Podcast, we’re pretty sure you going to hear some “best/worst” movie pitches.
