Roe vs. Wade just got overturned, so, it should stand to reason that you ought to go to a comedy show that supports abortion funds in states where it’s very likely that abortion will be made illegal outright.

Lucky for you that there is one this Saturday Jun. 25th in LA, No Fuss Comedy Bus’ Pro Roe Comedy Show that’s raising money for the Texas Equal Access Fund. The show itself will be in North Hollywood at 6440 Lankershim Blvd. at 7:30PM PT and feature many LA comedy stalwarts including Iliza Shlesinger, Hunter Hill, Audrey Stewart, Matty Chymbor, Laura Peek, Matty Fontana, Jodi Miller, and more!

They’ve got a July 9th show lined up as well with Heather Pasternak, DJ Demers, Kimberlee Clark, Renee Percy, Alice Payne, and more TBA.

It’s pretty cut and dry why you should go. You can (and absolutely should) get tickets starting at $30 here.

However, you can just donate to TEAfund.org if you can’t make it.

With the horrific damage that the fires took on California, there are plenty of big, fantastic benefit shows coming up that will raise money for victims of said fires.

This includes:

Judd & Adam & Friends @ Largo at the Coronet Theatre Fri. Dec. 14th 8PM (currently sold out)

Holidaze! @ Dynasty Typewriter Fri. Dec. 14th 7PM, $15 in adv., $20 at door

The Comedy Store Festival @ Fonda Theatre Sat Dec. 15th 8PM $46-$131

If you can swing it, you should go to all of them as they’re all very stacked line-ups and, in the spirit of the holidays, it’s a great opportunity to give to people very much in need.

Guy Who Repeatedly Challenges Legality of ‘Ladies Only Nights’ in Court Sues Iliza Shlesinger for Barring Him from “Girls Night In” Show at Largo

Guy Who Repeatedly Challenges Legality of ‘Ladies Only Nights’ in Court Sues Iliza Shlesinger for Barring Him from “Girls Night In” Show at Largo

It seems that there is legal precedent under California law for this suit to exist (the story would likely be much different if it was a private party or, perhaps, a free show), but this also looks like a very twisted, flawed understanding of how to bring about equality between the sexes by the men suing Shlesinger.

Men just can’t have enough, can they?

Whatever happens will be an important distinction for live entertainment, especially, in regards to comedy shows going forward.

You, however, can take a tiny sliver of solace in the fact that the plaintiff’s name is George St. George.

Basically, Follow That! pits comedians into having to follow the screening of heart wrenching, highly emotional videos. The emotional roller coaster that you go on combined with the inevitable curiosity that you’ll have to see what a comic will do after seeing a tearjerker is indeed pretty great.

The next edition of Follow That! is set for the end of this month and you can (and should) get your tickets here.

Iliza Shlesinger to Get Her Own Weekly Late Night Show on Freeform

Iliza Shlesinger to Get Her Own Weekly Late Night Show on Freeform

Well, late night is really getting shaken up this week.

Comedy Central announced the addition of two late night series, The President Show with Donald Trump as played by Anthony Atamanuik and a Daily Show companion series hosted by Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper.

Also, Fox News just cancelled its own late night comedy series Red Eye.

On top of all of that, Iliza Shlesinger is getting her own weekly late night show on cable network Freeform called Truth & Iliza. She’ll be focused on a specific theme with each episode, then have segments, field pieces, etc. go from there.

Truth & Iliza is set to premiere on Tuesday, May 2nd at 10PM.

If you take a look at the late night landscape, it’s getting bigger than ever since more of cable has joined the fray with options diverting far from the traditional late night talk show format.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Desus & Mero, Throwing Shade, and more offer a stark contrast to Fallon, Colbert, Kimmel, Corden, and Meyers on broadcast networks.

The three newly announced late night shows with Iliza, Klepper, and Atamanuik are sure to add to that growth.

Freeform Developing Late Night Series with Iliza Shlesinger

Well, if everything goes according to Freeform’s plan, there will be three female hosts in late night.

Details are sparse at this point, probably because cable network Freeform sees that there is plenty of shows that follow the traditional late night talk show format and they want to work with Iliza Shlesinger to develop something that caters to her comedy.

So, thankfully, the boys club is becoming a boys club less and less everyday.

Tickets are $10 for general admission and $20 for VIP and you can (and should) get them here.

Morning Debriefing 7/17/11

1) Why can’t we have something like the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival here in LA? This sounds pretty fantastic and maybe you should donate to the cause…

2) Real Life: My Girlfriend’s A Bitch with Iliza Shlesinger.

3) Punchline Magazine became Laughspin.com and now there’s a whole page of stuff we contribute.

4) So Kristen Wiig is the voice of Babs in this slightly disturbing reboot of Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network and will produce and star in a suicide themed comedy that focuses on a woman who fakes suicide to gain the attention of an ex-boyfriend. We like this dark comedy streak by Wiig and hope it continues.

5) Remember when David Lynch used to do the daily weather? We’re surprised Lynch didn’t go the route of Rick Shapiro and his frequently posted and out of order Morning Meditations from Our Lady of No Thought Depot.

6) One of the more important things to note about GQ’s current “comedy” issue out on magazine racks now is that no one would know if it’s an issue about comedy if GQ didn’t tell anybody.

7) ON THE HORIZON
Jamie Kilstein-One Night Only @ Steve Allen Theater Mon. July 18th 8PM $10
The 2 & 45 @ All Star Lanes Mon. July 18th 8PM FREE

8) COMEDY CRAWL

ASSSSCAT @ UCB Theatre 7:30PM FREE
Re-Animator: The Musical @ The Steve Allen Theater 8PM $30

MARTY’S/THE OPEN MIC 7351 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA (walk up Martel past Big Mama’s and Papa’s)/5PM to 11PM/$5/multiple sets allowed/bottled water and coffee available

10) As reporting of Carmeggedon continues, people are calling the 405 the main freeway in LA. That’s bullshit. The 10 gets no respect? If you want a real Carmeggedon shut down the 10 freeway between the 405 and the 110. (I obviously drive too much and think about these things)
