Pick of the Day: Ben Wasserman: Live After Death (in NYC) 3/26

March 15, 2022

Ben Wasserman, brooklyn, death, Devon Walker, experimental comedy, nyc comedy, solo show

Death, even now, is still a strange, somewhat impenetrable topic to talk about in everyday conversation in America. While other cultures celebrate its relation to life and that, in some cases, is thought more of as a part of an infinite cycle, many of us think of it as something that’s inevitable and, in its inevitability, terrifying.

Comedy, from time to time, does what it does best and brings levity and illumination to the matter of dying whether it be doing a comedy show in Hollywood Forever Cemetery or Sean White doing an excellent entire concept album about losing a good majority of his family (on top of getting divorced) in a very small window of time.

Coming up soon, Ben Wasserman, a cherished, wild NYC multi-disciplinary comedian, is taking another step forward and mixing up death with comedy with his new solo show, Live After Death. Not only will be a show dedicated and inspired to the passing of several people he was close to within 3 years, but it’ll be a mix of stand-up, crowd work, and clowning, and it’ll be performed at an actual funeral home (Comedy Is Dead @ Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever can’t even claim that).

Wasserman will be performing Live After Death in the perfect setting, specifically at Sparrow: A Contemporary Funeral Home in Brooklyn with Devon Walker doing an opening set on Sat. Mar. 26th at 8:30PM ET. Tickets for what is sure to be an unforgettable, cathartic show are only $10 right now (and $15 at the door). We highly suggest you snag your tickets right now.

Pick of the Day: Katrina Davis-The Comic Is Present (in LA) 4/1 & 4/2

artist is present, experimental comedy, katrina davis, los angeles comedy, stand up comedy

No matter how self-deprecating comedians will ever get and insist that comedy isn’t really an art form as some of us wheel and deal in humor for the lowest common denominator for much success, comedy is indeed an art form. There are others among comedy that actually bristle and brim and even burn through the edges of the forms and tropes of comedy, whatever discipline it may be, that really make it light up like the art form that it could be.

The warm and also sharply funny Katrina Davis is embarking on such a project, The Comic Is Present, with her upcoming performances of The Comic Is Present. Taking a cue from Marina Abramovic’s famous performance piece The Artist Is Present, Katrina will allow audience members to say whatever they want to her while seated opposite her for 60 seconds. Then, Katrina will turn all of that into fodder for a 50+ minute set of stand-up comedy. Neither Marina or Shia LeBeouf with a bag over his head went this far with the performance art, but, then again, either of them probably wouldn’t really want to do the stand-up comedy portion of this comedy experiment.

Here’s a bit of a sneak peek of what that might look like.

Katrina will be putting The Comic Is Present up at The LODGE in Hollywood/Melrose Hill on April Fool’s Day, Apr. 1st & Apr. 2nd at 6PM PT. You can, and very much should, go get tickets and more info here.

As we stand at the precipice of the middle of January with very little to show for it, February seems to be the month to look forward to when things won’t be canceled or postponed all the time.

So, one should look forward to the ever changing performance art clowning showcase that will be The Month Long Ham Festival coming to The Elysian on the 3rd Sundays of the month. According to the Nonsemble, a collective of comedy folks from the clowning-side of things, they’re going to attempt “26 original works of performance art” in just an hour. We’re sure that’s going to be the sort of the grand and hilarious chaos that we’ll need when it’s safer to go to things.

The NONSEMBLE includes: Dean Evans, Magi Calcagne, Emily Maverick Shankman, Zack Reimers, Frankie Halbiger, Joe Pisanzio, Araceli Lemos, Woody Curry, and David Gordezky.

Get your tickets to the first installment of The Month Long Ham Festival on Sun. Feb. 20th at 7PM PT at The Elysian at $12 a pop here.

Pick of the Day: Everything is Terrible! (in LA & NYC) 2/3 & 2/26

bell house, brooklyn, everything is terrible, experimental comedy, nyc comedy, performance art, video art

The last two years have been some of the worst on record for everyone alive right now (if they are not actually, in fact, the very worst). The hours are ticking away in America to greet 2022 and the normal sort of routine fanfare that comes with New Year’s Eve is, at this point, unsurprisingly not at the fever pitch that it has been in, perhaps, 2014.

With that in mind, perhaps the thing to look forward to is video and performance art collective Everything Is Terrible! going on tour with slicing, dicing, and mashing up all the weirdest bits of DVD and VHS ephemera they could possible find into a hilarious, mind-bending, absurdist dream scape. This specific outing by EIT, The Kidz Klub Tour, will be grinding up the best of media from decades past that was engineered for kids, but has not aged all that well.

Also, above everything else, isn’t it fitting to look forward to something called Everything Is Terrible (though rest assured the show will be an amazing trip fantastic through the overlooked nostalgia of our youth and not literally terrible). EIT will be stopping through both LA and NYC this February (so, it’ll likely still happen).

Everything Is Terrible’s The Kidz Klub Tour will hit the Lodge Room in LA on Thurs. Feb. 3rd at 8PM PT with tickets for $22 and the Bell House on Sat. Feb. 26th at 7:30PM ET & 10:30PM ET with tickets for $20 a pop. Go get them now while everything still feels terrible and make yourself, consequently, feel a little less terrible.

Pick of the Day: Moon Goon’s Hallmark Christmas Movie in 4D (in LA) 12/8

The 4D Movie Experience is usually relegated to movies of the Fast & Furious persuasion as such films have ample opportunity to rumble seats and blow air on the back of your neck in addition to have HD surround sound.

That said, wouldn’t it be kind of great, especially during this holiday season, to get the 4D movie experience for something along the lines of a wholesome Christmas movie? What would the 4D effects even be for that?

Well, such curiosities will be satisfied as a great long standing LA comedy group Moon Goon will put on a Hallmark Christmas Movie in 4D live on stage in an adorable Hollywood black box theater. It’s even being billed as interactive, which we ponder if that means it’ll be like Sleep No More? No matter what happens, we’re sure it’ll beat whatever drive-through interactive movie experience you might have had in 2020.

Moon Goon is comprised of the comedy talents of Mary Anthony, Kylie Brakeman, Jill Cepela, Jeremy Culhane, Jasmine Don, Josh Fleury, Angela Giarratana, Paul Heredia, Mary Lou, Skyler Madsen, Chance McCrary, Patrick McDonald, Nikki Mckenzie, and Andrew Santiago.

Moon Goon’s Hallmark Christmas Movie in 4D is set for Wed. Dec. 8th at the Broadwater Black Box at 8:30PM PT and will be presented by The Comedy Co-op. Tickets are only $12.25 (i.e. the date of Christmas). Go get them here before they sell out.

There used to be a time when there were anywhere from 3 to 5 shows a night at any of the UCB theaters. Within that slate, some of the coolest, most experimental stuff (i.e. much of the stuff we sought out before lockdown) happened at or after 11PM.

One of those things was the throw-caution-to-the-wind show Great Moments in Comedy Made Worse. Skyler Madsen and Jeremy Schmidt were at the helm of the raucous comedy catalyst that took famous sketches and tacked on 10-15 minutes of improv after the sketch supposedly ended. Also, none of the players knew what sketch they were going to do/improvise off until the very moment they were handed a script. The sort of madcap fun had by all of this show is something we’ve dearly missed for two years and are so thrilled that it has a date lined-up for next week.

In fact, you won’t even have to stay up to midnight to watch it. Presented by The Comedy Co-op, this return of Great Moments in Comedy Made Worse is set for Sun. Dec. 5th at 8PM PT at The Glendale Room. Tickets are only $10 and we highly suggest you get them ASAP because space is limited.

Whether it be “experimental comedy”, “dare comedy”, or whatever else you want to call it, we love people swinging for the fences in comedy.

So, Tyler Jackson, who has a penchant for such a thing as evidenced by being the co-ring leader behind Late Late Breakfast, is tossing up another high concept show to fly, this time having comedians on the show pick the comedian following them and the subsequent comedian having to blur their set into their own (i.e. like a parts of an infamous ‘human centipede’). Taking on this challenge will be a very capable and fun bunch of Molly Kearney, Carly Kane, Kristin Wallace, Annie Paradis, and Camirin Farmer.

We believe, no matter what happens here, this ought to be a big hysterical hoot of an evening.

This very first Centipede in LA is set for Wed. Dec. 1st at 9PM PT. Tickets are $10 and you really ought to get them here.

Pick of the Day: Hideout Online Presents: Legally Not Allowed to Leave the Room 10/2

chicago comedy, experimental comedy, sketch comedy, the room, tyler jackson

As co-creator of one of the most hilariously chaotic variety shows we’ve ever seen, Late Late Breakfast, we trust in Tyler Jackson to make one hysterical whirlwind of a show when it comes to recreating the cult classic, Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, via a live-stream, with many of the best comedy folks from all over the country.

Per his announcement:

LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE ROOM is a complete, feature-length re-imagining of the cult classic film THE ROOM. Part parody, part loving homage, it is The Room remade by over 50 teams of artists, using whatever they had around them during the quarantine. Musicians, comedians, puppeteers, animators, and video artists transform the original film from a bizarre melodrama into a kaleidoscope of bad accents, even worse wigs, stock footage, acid trips, prank shows, body doubles, and Lynchian horror.

No matter how this goes, it ought to be a damn hysterical time and will assuredly be less insane than what reality has presented us.

Legally Not Allowed to Leave the Room is set to stream this Fri. Oct. 2nd at 6PM PT/8PM CT/9PM ET. It’ll be presented by The Hideout in Chicago and tickets are $5 (proceeds go to saving stages via NIVA). Go get more details and tickets here.

We were truly taken by Christina Catherine Martinez’s first foray into the IG Live space with her comedy/art talk/experimental comedy show Aesthetical Relations. We’re still taken by the audacity of the opening, which has us still ruminating on its audacity and how she cleverly pushed the boundaries of the aesthetics of the Gram (in addition to have all sorts of weird and wonderful treats with offbeat characters, high art/literary folks, and niche, but thoroughly satisfying bits).

So, we wouldn’t dare let ourselves go without specifically telling you about the very next Aesthetical Relations that Christina would be exhibiting, which just happens to be this Thursday, Aug. 6th at 7PM PT/10PM ET over @xtina_catherine on Instagram. Very, very special guests include the hysterical Jamel Johnson (who possibly made the first legit comedy special in quarantine), Dr. Angelo Castoria, and clowning/character sensation Courtney Pauroso.

Until that time, please enjoy Christina’s personal announcement for this edition of Aesthetical Relations.

Comedy Crossing, Jenny Yang and Chris Bryant’s stand-up comedy show done in the wildly popular game Animal Crossing and streamed on Zoom, has itself gotten so popular that they’ve sold so many tickets that they had to expand their Zoom capacity to accommodate (more than once).

So, even though they don’t have their line-up officially announced for their next date (we have no doubt that it’ll be chock full of fantastic comics from around the country as all of their previous shows have been), this Friday, July 17th at 7PM PT/10PM ET, you ought to reserve your tickets sooner rather than later.

Ian Abramson’s 7 Minutes in Purgatory Gave a Preview of What Comedy Would Be Like During COVID-19 Pandemic

April 9, 2020

News

bobcat goldthwait, comedy central, experimental comedy, ian abramson, jon dore, maria bamford, michelle buteau, stand up comedy

When it comes to comedians performing without a traditional audience like is the temporary norm for now, you might have heard references to comedy specials recorded years ago from Drew Michael or Harland Williams (Michael recorded it on a sound stage for HBO and Williams stood on a rock in the desert and did his hour).

We’d actually like to point you to something that is an even more apt comparison and a pretty spot on precursor to what how live comedy is performed and consumed right now. The ever innovative Ian Abramson put himself on the map a bit with ultra-innovative (at the time) live comedy show called 7 Minutes in Purgatory where comedians had to perform remotely, though near an actual venue without any chance to hear the laughs of the live audience that was in attendance for the show.

For the crowd, they were treated to watching a live feed of the comedian in the remote performance space and got to watch them try and perform. If you’ve seen a stand-up comedy show on Twitch, Instagram Live, Zoom, etc., you ought to know that 7 Minutes in Purgatory gave us a preview (even though it was unaware of doing so) of what was to come.

It was and is a great show and a daring comedic experiment that had comics recalibrate their act, try a daring bit that leans into the format, or automatically go into uber self-deprecation (exactly like they do now).

As an artifact of the before times, it’s even more fascinating to see what doing comedy in the way we have to do right now was like when we didn’t have to do that.

Get into the Comedy Central digital series version of 7 Minutes of Purgatory, that includes performances from Michelle Buteau, Jon Dore, Maria Bamford, Bobcat Goldthwait & Caitlin Gill, and more here.

It’s unfortunate that SXSW got cancelled (amidst a bunch of big time events getting cancelled because of COVID-19). However, if you were looking forward to seeing some very special comedy in Austin, TX during SXSW this month, perhaps you can get kind of close (without leaving town) with the Austin-born Glow Show with Joey Z.

As the name suggests, it’s a comedy show with glow-in-the-dark running rampant from start to finish and this line-up certainly is worthy of SXSW with the likes of Reggie Watts, Kyle Kinane, and fresh off her TV debut and fantastic debut album Vanessa Gonzalez. We have no doubt that this ought to be something special.

The Glow Show with Joey Z is set for Mon. Mar. 30th at Lyric Hyperion at 9PM. Tickets are $8 now and $12 day of. Save a few bucks and go get your tickets here right now.

Pick of the Day: Don’t Laugh at Aaron

March 9, 2020

News

experimental comedy, nick kocher

Essentially, accomplished and esteemed writer, sketch performer, and comedian Nick Kocher is daring you to see if you can make it through the length of an entire live comedy show without laughing? The irony of daring people to not laugh at any comedy show is so rich that we can’t help already giggle at the idea of it.

Kocher is upping the stakes by letting his friend Aaron Schroeder (who is explicitly not a comedian) take the stage and just share his life, which is amazingly ridiculous (and very hard to not laugh at). We’re not sure what the prize is at this point, but you really ought to see what your limits of controlling your own laughter/seeing Aaron be his truest self and basking in the wonder of that.

We actually got to see a test run of this at Everything’s Great, which Nick co-hosts, and pretty much everyone failed to not laugh.

Tickets for Don’t Laugh at Aaron are $7 and you can should go get them here.

Robby Hoffman is at it again.

“It” being commandeering beloved and retired The Chris Gethard Show to do her own version of the show, which is arguably a very on-brand TCGS to continue to the show.

Hoffman’s version of the show gets into similar beautiful and hilarious chaos that Gethard did, but does so with her own cheeky alpha energy. Also, special guests could range from comedians, actors, etc. all the way to real estate agents making for a truly unpredictable, but downright hysterical night.

Tickets usually sell out for this, so best go get them for $12 right now (even though the show is a month away).

Moore is so open and warm and so damn fun that the chaos is pretty damn fun.

You’re Gonna Love This, presented by Maddie Connors & Katy Fishell, has female/queer comedians present all the sorts of things that their significant others tried oh so hard to get them into (whether it’s the sort of thing that they would love or not).

It’s a tribute to loves past, but also a justified dissection of a perhaps ridiculous thing that they had to “go along with”.

For this special, Valentine’s Day edition, they have a wondrous line-up Megan Gailey, Jared Goldstein, Robby Hoffman, Nori Reed, and Jon Millstein who we’re sure have some hysterical things about the things that they were forced into liking.

Ron Lynch’s Tomorrow! is, in our opinion, a treasured comedy institution in LA comedy. For over 15 years, Lynch has been made Tomorrow! a destination every Saturday, late at night, for a wild, unpredictable, rambunctious, fun, hysterical comedy variety show.

For a very long time, the show happened at the turn of midnight, hence “Tomorrow!”. Now, the turning to the next day is still part of the show, but Ron Lynch’s Tomorrow! starts at 11PM these days at the Lyric Hyperion, still for only $5.

So, for those of you who aren’t quite as much of a night owl as we are, you can not have to stay out as late to catch the magic of Ron Lynch’s Tomorrow!

Kimia Behpoornia has been a go-to performer for UCB for many years now, whether it be improv or sketch or whatever other crazy thing they come up with.

While it’s worth catching her on Harold or Maude Night or Great Sketch!, the idea that she’s actually going to test for her black belt as a comedy show has our interest beyond peaked.

That’s right, Kimia will be doing a martial arts test at UCB Sunset at the end of the month and our minds are racing as to figure out what could possibly happen ((notice how she’s even credited as a Black Belt Candidate as opposed to cast, writer, etc.).

We’re sure there’s a whole other bevy of surprises for Kimia Tests for Her Blackbelt: LIVE (as many other go-to UCB performers are on the bill), but the testing for the black belt itself ought to be something special.
