1. If you dare (and of course you do since it’s the reason for the Halloween season), take your first full look at the meta meta meta house-flipping/docu-series/supernatural(?) thriller, The Curse with Nathan Fielder, Emma Stone, and Benny Safdie. Then, set a reminder for Nov. 10th, it’s premiere date on Showtime/Paramount+.

2. The Daily Show will be the second to last late night program to return to the air (the last one will be SNL) and has, surprise surprise, not picked a permanent replacement for Trevor Noah. Instead, they’re going with another round of revolving hosts including Michael Kosta, Desus Nice, Sarah Silverman, Charlmagne Tha God, Leslie Jones, Michelle Wolf, and The Daily Show correspondents. This all begins next week and, one hopes, they’ll get someone permanently behind the desk before the hell that will be the 2024 election gets into full swing.

3. One of the definitive movie and comedy podcasts in existence is hitting the road so you won’t have to find yourself at Largo in order to see Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas work their magic in person. Get tix here.

4. Just a friendly neighborhood reminder of Aparna Nancherla‘s reserved comedic brilliance a la giving her depression the name “Brenda” in an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

5. The Please Don’t Destroy boys made a whole damn movie, The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, the trailer of which plays exactly like one of their sketches. Also, Conan O’Brien as Ben Marshall‘s Dad is perfect casting. See the madness in its entirety Nov. 17th on Peacock.

6. You won’t have to wait for the next season of Hacks, whenever that’s going to happen, or rebinge The Good Place to see Meg Stalter and Manny Jacinto on screen again. Their indie comedy festival darling, Cora Bora just sold its North American distribution rights to Brainstorm Media (Variety). Hope this makes for a bright light in theatrical releases in early 2024.

7. Internationally renowned for breaking up relationships for people’s well being via his comedy, Daniel Sloss is making his latest stop in LA next week. By the way, we got tickets if you want them. Just be the first to let us know @thecomedybureau on IG.

8. We’ll leave you with this: Apologies for missing out on yesterday’s debriefing (and Monday’s even though that was technically a national holiday). Our esteemed founder Jake Kroeger is also the booker at the beloved Lyric Hyperion now and he’s getting the hang of juggling 100 balls at once (in addition to running TCB and booking a theater) .

Both How Did This Get Made? with Paul Scheer and The Lesbian Agenda with Sophie Santos have built their respective reputations with both questioning the established order of things. So, they’re joining forces for a very special evening with their dive in, dissect, reenact, and discuss with the crowd in attendance the 90s Kevin Smith staple, Chasing Amy, in order to see if a movie about a lesbian falling in love with Ben Affleck holds up in 2022.

Here’s the trailer in case you forgot how 90s it is.

It should be nothing but great fun and definitely the evening for those who are currently steeped in 90s nostalgia. This Discussion & Analysis of Chasing Amy with Paul Scheer and Sophie Santos is set for Fri. Aug. 5th at Dynasty Typewriter at 7:30PM PT. Tickets are $20 and you best go get them now here as we do have a feeling that this will sell out.

How Did This Get Made? stands as a cornerstone to both comedy and movie podcasts and it has been that way for several years now thanks to the wit and passion of Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas. Their dissection of movies that present a mystery as to why they even exists is a standard for podcasting that delves into the “best of the worst”.

Next month, HDTGM will be doing two special virtual live-streams via On Location Live that will dive into the holiday movie bargain bin with A Very Nutty Christmas and The Knight Before Christmas. Honestly, tickets for live-stream access would be a pretty swell holiday gift either to friends/family or yourself.

These virtual HDTGM will happen Fri. Dec. 11th & Dec. 18th at 6PM PT/9PM ET. Tickets are $15 (or $25 for both shows). Go get them here before they sell out.

Toronto’s JFL42 Has Everything From Carol Burnett to John Mulaney/Pete Davidson to How Did This Get Made? to Eric Andre

As you can clearly see in the flyer above, that headline could go way longer as the more fan-focused JFL festival in Toronto, JFL42, is packed with top shelf talent that covers so many eras, styles, sensibilities, etc. of comedy that it might be worth making the trek out to Toronto to see all of that in one week, especially if you don’t live in LA or NYC.

You’ve got some time as JFL42 isn’t until mid Sept., but you best get your passes and tickets now (the VIP Pass already sold out). Passes are going for $84-$199 (not including service charges). Go get more details and tickets/passes here.

San Francisco Is Getting Another Big Comedy Festival This Year with Comedy Central’s Very First “Clusterfest”

At the beginning of the year, San Francisco always has one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world, SF Sketchfest.

Just announced today, SF will be getting another giant comedy festival in the summertime, specifically June 2nd-4th, brought to you by Comedy Central.

The first ever Clusterfest has a gigantic line-up of the sort proportions and depth that Comedy Central can summon. It’s also the flip of most big time music and arts festival in that it’s mostly comedy with a bit of music as opposed to there being a comedy tent and lots and lots and lots of music a la Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, etc. (Note: producers of both those festivals are involved here). See the line-up below or in this glitterbomb filled announcement video here.

Tickets/passes go on sale this Thursday, March 2nd here. They range from $199.50 earlybird pass-$599.50 VIP Pass.
