5) Comedy Bang Bang has a blog about their podcast?!? Alternative comedy gone ever more self-reflexive…

6) Speaking of self-reflexive, this video by “comedy artist” by Charlotte Young was posted by the Daily What several days ago, but  who hasn’t thought they were bullshitting whatever they were saying at least once while on stage? Only the other week, I could have swore that I said on stage, “I have material that works, I swear."

2) EW made a list of top comedy podcasts following the footsteps of Rolling Stone. This will be probably the first time I’ve said this in ten years, but Rolling Stone made the better, more informed list.

3) The Ogre Mage EP will be out soon: “@zachlunch Listening to the new @OgreMage EP over and over. Soon, my children. Soon. #OgreMage”

4) Top 5 Reggie Watts Performances [via Serial Optimist]

5) A Drink with Dave and hilarious comedienne Amy Dresner.

6) Sean Patton just got the Tip of the Hat from us.

7) Ne’er a debate about who knows more about Catholicism will be more entertaining than this one between Stephen Colbert and Jack White.
