The annual music/arts/more neighborhood weekend festival known as Echo Park Rising is back this week, Aug. 15th-17th and will feature a much more robust comedy line-up.

In fact, between the Time Travel Mart and Echoes Under Sunset, they’re going to have four shows featuring the likes of Maria Bamford, Steve Agee, Dana Gould, Sean Patton, Karen Kilgariff, Ian Karmel, Hampton Yount, Seaton Smith, Emily Heller, Chris Garcia, Matt Braunger, Sean O’Connor, and way more. Midnight Run, the show where all the comics are probably way too high when on stage, will be going down.

You might also like to know that it will all be free to attend, so while you wander hearing too many bands to count and eating from too many food trucks, make sure to catch some, if not all these shows.

We hope that Billy Eichner does Billy On The Street-esque bits throughout the evening, wandering throughout the audience.

Rob Delaney Taking Story Submissions for Six Word Festival via Twitter

Yes, there is a festival celebrating ideas expressed in six words, The Six Word Festival on Twitter, perfectly designed for Twitter, which, of course, has to bring in one of Twitter’s funniest in Rob Delaney.

Have a response to whatever prompt in six words and you might just get RT’d by Delaney, which is probably one of the best ways to get non bot followers.

Aziz Ansari, Christopher Guest, Aubrey Plaza, and More to Appear at New Yorker Fest 2013

If you still have doubts as to the merits of comedy as an art form, having a substantial part in renowned culture publication The New Yorker’s New Yorker Fest should be a good reference point to start thinking otherwise.

Boosting their comedy programming from last year to include several panels, presentations, and more (including a talk about comedy and politics from comedic genius Armando Ianucci), maybe comedy is starting to get the respect it deserves.

1) LA Comedy Shorts Festival taking place mostly at the Downtown Independent Theater April 7th-11th. Details here.

2) Last night at the Tomorrow Show presents WEIRD, I got a chance to see Paul Rust, Harris Wittels, and Michael Cassady as newly formed band “Don’t Stop or We’ll Die”, as one hell of a comical musical ruckus. They’re playing at Meltdown Comics April 23rd 8PM $8. Do. Not. Miss. This.

3) Continuing in awesome comedy music acts that I saw last night at the Tomorrow Show, I had a chance to be berated for not being from Portland by MOP, which was not at all shocking and also, hilarious. Though this clip isn’t “music”, but since I don’t know where they’re playing next, it’ll have to do.

4) The Tip of the Hat this week (technically, last week) goes to none other than Paul F. Tompkins for making it to his 9th Anniversary Show. Article to follow today (Seriously, it will come out later today. I didn’t write/post it last night because I would have started punching walls if I stayed at the Bureau offices for another minute yesterday)

5) Tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL
Jeff Garlin’s Combo Platter @ UCB Theatre 6PM $2
ASSSSCAT @ UCB Theatre 7:30PM FREE
Powerviolence @ The Complex 8:30PM FREE
French Toast @ Taix 8:30PM FREE
We’ll All Be Dead Someday @ Hollywood Improv Lab 8:30PM $5
Top Story Weekly! w/Sean Patton @ iO West 9PM $5
The Hilarium @ Hollywood Improv 9PM $14/2 drink min.

6) OPEN MIC RUN

SUNSET GRILL 7439 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA/Starts 7PM/one item min.

MARTY’S/THE OPEN MIC 7351 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA (walk up Martel past Big Mama’s and Papa’s)/5PM to 11PM/$5/multiple sets allowed

7) Comedians doing open mics today seem somewhat more dedicated than marathon runners because they could do open mics tomorrow and skip the rain.
