blame social media, christine little, greg edwards, hollywood improv, kaseem bentley, quincy johnson

If you’ve even wondered what it would look to do a quick sort of “interrogation” of a comedian right after their set, Blame Social Media is the show for you. Hosts Greg Edwards, Kaseem Bentley, Christine Little, and Quincy Johnson sit performers down right after they do a traditional stand-up set and perhaps bring up stuff from their social media feeds and profiles that peaks their curiosity or maybe even “raises suspicion”.

This edition, taking place next Monday, of Blame Social Media will have plenty to dig through with a great line-up who you’ve seen and/or heard on Mystery Science Theater 3000, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Roast Battle, and more.

Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.

In our opinion, one of the best and craziest iterations of the late night talk show format is The Jesse Miller Talk Show.

Imagine some wild dreamer from Cincinnati who seems to be aspiring to be Kenny Powers, but also has a boundless amount of pop culture knowledge and ability to make wordplay hosting a talk show and you’ll get some idea of the fun chaos that is going on with Jesse Miller (Andre Hyland).

In addition to his crew of his one man shredding house band Darryl and his girl Tanya, guests for this round include Johnny Pemberton and Kate Berlant.

Please get your tickets for The Jesse Miller Talk Show this Friday, Dec. 9th at 10PM at The Hollywood Improv here.
