Morning Debriefing 6/7/11
1) American: The Bill Hicks Story
2) You can win a copy of American if you submit your favorite Bill Hicks quote at the Sataristas FB event page here.
3) Do Modern Comedy Roasts Need More Class? (Punchline Magazine Article by the Comedy Bureau)
4) The Walsh Brothers Go “Planking”
5) One of the funniest people we know here at the Comedy Bureau (an early recipient of the Tip of the Hat) Abbey Londer is actually using her Twitter account, so we highly suggest that you follow @abbeylonder so you can catch “Stop fucking smiling at me it’s just a latte you idiot. #firemealready”.
7) Theatre of Life w/Nick Rutherford and Beck Bennett. Essentially, it’s “extreme people watching”, well… as extreme as “people watching” can get.
8) Connected Comedy: What I’ve Learned in My First Three Months on Tumblr. Great Article AND we’re mentioned in it. Thanks Connected Comedy.
9) Bad Hostage Negotiator with Rob Corddry. Plenty of you have seen this, but, truly, we’d regret not posting here.
