Since there is a nationwide #MarchForOurLives today, we thought it’d be nice to highlight the 3rd Annual Fun Lovers Unite : an Evening of Comedy, Music and Gun Sense! at The Regent Theater.

Proceeds will be going to Women Against Gun Violence and feature the talents of Jonathan Ames, Kurt Braunohler, Jeanne Darst, Josh Gondelman, Open Mike Eagle, Dengue Fever, Frangela, Greg Johnson, and more!

So, there’s a stellar line-up, a crucial cause, and almost no reason for you to not go. 

Tickets are $25 in advance and $32.50 at the door. Go get them here now.

Not only should you buy a ticket to this show to raise money in the fight to end gun violence here in America, but the line-up, as you can see, is star-studded and the show will probably sell out very quickly.

Get tickets here.

In fact, he’s calling it “Jordan Klepper Solves Guns” and talks to the likes of Senator Cory Booker, Former Army Special Ops Soldier Pat McNamara, Members of the Georgia Security Force Militia, and gun experts, gun nuts, etc.

Whether or not Klepper actually fulfills the premise of the title of this special, you should probably watch it as Klepper has been doing solid work in the field for The Daily Show.

Jordan Klepper Solves Guns premieres on Sunday, Jun. 11th at 10PM on Comedy Central.

Eichner’s latest and greatest obstacle course, Super Sloppy, Semi-Automatic Double Dare!, along with guest/contestant Keegan Michael-Key, shows how easy it is around America to buy a gun. 

Really, this recent satirical, politically focused evolution of Billy on the Street is pretty fantastic. We look forward to seeing where Billy takes his show throughout the Trump Administration.

For some reason, this great sketch on Inside Amy Schumer featuring Jon Benjamin as a lawyer who can’t do anything about mass shootings was cut from airing even though gun control is absolutely the hot button issue in the U.S. right now. 

All the filibustering, sit-ins, and general demand from an overwhelming majority of Americans for any sort of action on gun control make the sketch so timely that it has now been posted online.

Watch it here. 

Stephen Colbert Trash Talks the U.S. Senate for Not Passing Any Gun Control Measures Whatsoever

Here’s where the edge of the Colbert meets the new Colbert on The Late Show. 

In response to the U.S. Senate not being able to pass any of the multiple pieces of proposed gun control legislation this week, Colbert “took the gloves off” and laid down some choice trash talk. 

This seems personal as Colbert takes a clear side on the issue and especially for the fact that Stephen kind of ignores for a couple of minutes that the show is on CBS and goes a bit blue and salty with the language. 

Watch it here.

The Lucas Brothers, one of the coolest pairs of twins, returns to The Tonight Show for their latest stand-up set.

Samantha Bee Proves That It’s Harder to Buy a Costume for the NRA’s Mascot Eddie Eagle Than It Is to Buy Several Guns

On last night’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Samantha discovered that there is more bureaucratic red tape to get a costume for Eddie Eagle, the NRA’s mascot used to educate children about gun safety, than there is to buy a handgun, rifle, or shotgun in several states. 

It’s just more of the Lord’s work being done by Bee and her Full Frontal staff.

Seeso’s following up their first comedy special release of Rory Scovel’s The Charleston Special with another special from one of our absolutely favorite people, Cameron Esposito. 

It’s called Marriage Material and it’s her first hour special and it’s directed by none other than Bobcat Goldthwait. It starts streaming at Seeso on Mar. 24th and will also be available on iTunes that same day.

We’ve come to know and love Cameron for taking bold, personal stances in her comedy and yet still making it inviting and very funny for all. This preview clip of Marriage Material where she takes on gun control is a perfect example of this and why you need to remember 3/24.

Recently: Utah becomes the first state to have an official state firearm.  Perhaps then, Rick Shapiro didn’t want to go to Bolivia, but rather Utah in this short by Louis CK.
