To The Comedy Bureau’s faithful readers, you’re probably well acquainted with our love for Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers comedy game show masterpiece, GAYME SHOW! The testing of straight men’s knowledge of gay culture as adjudicated by Mizzoni and Rogers is amongst the most hysterical game shows we’ve ever seen (and deserved a bigger, better platform than Quibi) and we make sure to always let you know when and where it’s happening in LA and NYC.

Thus, we’re here to tell you that the latest Gayme Show is happening in LA next month, Wed. Nov. 16th at The Regent in DTLA at 7PM. Who the straights are that will be challenged have yet to be announced, but do not wait to get to see who they might be before you get tickets. It just might sell out before then.

Tickets are on sale for $30 here. Do. Not. Miss Out.

It has been a long and winding road, though it absolutely shouldn’t be, for one of the absolutely, most delightful, hysterical comedy game shows around, GAYME SHOW! Before lockdown, they were ascending as they should be how fun hosts Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers made testing the extent, if any, of straight men’s queer knowledge and sensibilities. They got ordered to series, which they deserved, but it unfortunately happened at the now defunct Quibi (though you can and should watch it now for FREE on the Roku Channel).

Thankfully, both Dave and Matt have made it to this side of the pandemic as stellar as ever and are bringing back the classic, in-person experience of GAYME SHOW! to NYC at The Bell House. They’ve got two dates lined-up, Sun. Jun. 12th & Sat Jul. 22nd at 8PM ET. Though they don’t have the line-up yet, you really better buy your tickets up fast because they will absolutely sell out. Get tickets here and here respectively for $30 a pop.

Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers made GAYME SHOW, hands down, one of the best comedy game shows ever. Straight men are challenged to see if they can become QUEEN OF THE STRAIGHTS via challenges and trivia of the gayest order.

This show was indeed so uproariously fun that it was made into an actual TV show via Quibi (and can be now found on Roku?), but with live comedy coming back, it’ll be happening in one of Brooklyn’s favorite comedy haunts, The Bell House. They’ve got two dates lined-up: Fri. Jun. 25th & Jul. 2nd.

Note: this is an indoors event for vaccinated people only. You will have to show proof of vaccination and there will be no distancing for the show.

Both dates were sold out (and they didn’t even announce the cast/line-up yet), but tickets were added for 6/25 and we highly urge you to snag them at the nice price of $25 ASAP.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 2: Joel Mandelkorn & Live-streaming Live Comedy

This second episode of The Comedy Bureau Field Report goes a bit behind-the-scenes as TCB founder Jake Kroeger sits (remotely) down with one of the best comedy producers around, Joel Mandelkorn (Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, The Super Serious Show, Toasty, plenty of short films and TV projects). Having co-produced (with producer/life partner Mandee Johnson) Hot Tub with Kurt [Braunohler] and Kristen [Schaal], absolutely one of LA’s best weekly comedy shows, Joel had to hit the ground running into translating that show into a live-stream stand-up show because of, well… you know, the global pandemic. Also, we go to 40 minutes, but it’s worth it.

They talk the challenges and nuances of such an endeavor as well as a workplace comedy TV series set in the times of COVID-19 already being in the works, premium free series that are suddenly free at HBO and IFC, (as always) what you should be watching and listening to (GAYME SHOW and Butterboy), and what we think the future holds for the sort of comedic bits that’ll work months from now in seeing live comedy again.

Tune into Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen Home Edition on Mondays at 8PM PST/11PM EST at holdthephone.tv, Follow Joel @cleftclips and follow The Comedy Bureau @thecomedybureau across platforms and please, please support TCB’s GoFundMe.

Gayme Show with Matt Rogers And Dave Mizzoni Is Coming to Quibi

Say what you will from this brand new, from the ground up, streaming service Quibi, they’re picking up some really intriguing comedy properties. Already they have projects in the works with Joel Kim Booster and Guy Branum.

Now, they have one of most entertaining comedy game shows that we’ve seen in quite some time, Gayme Show with Matt Rogers and Dave Mizzoni. The format has straight men tested on their knowledge and familiarity of LGBTQIA+ culture. Rogers and Mizzoni have really perfected the segments, games, bits, and more and we can’t wait to see this be made into a full-fledged series.
