IFC & Earwolf Developing Show Starring The Multiple Characters of James Adomian

We’ve been wondering what exactly IFC and Earwolf have been up to ever since that struck that TV production. Well, we’re glad to hear that a show starring the hysterical James Adomian and so many of his great characters is one of those projects, which, by the way, is long overdue.

For the sake of comedy, let’s all hope this gets greenlit and goes to series.

Watch James Adomian Impersonate Madonna, Rihanna, Kate Upton, Louis CK, and Freddie Mercury at the Same Time

The hysterical James Adomian made one hell of a cameo on Children’s Hospital on Adult Swim in not just showing up as one impersonation of a famous person, but five people, all at the same time.

Also, you should watch this just off the idea that Louis C.K., Madonna, Rihanna, Kate Upton and Freddie Mercury are all on stage at the same time is pretty amazing. Click the link to see it.

Musical comedian Reggie Watts has been described as inimitable before, but leaves it to the likes of a hysterical trio composed of Nick Turner, Pete Holmes, and James Adomian to show Reggie how to do an impression of himself (not that Watts doesn’t already know how to do that).

1) Louis C.K. honoring George Carlin.

2) Here’s a trailer for Marc Maron: The Voice of Something, a documentary by Jodi Lennon following Marc Maron in NYC right after 9/11. Basically, you’re going to watch it whenever it comes out.

3) Bradley Fojas claims the following video is a waste of five and a half minutes of your life. Maybe it is, but at least it’s hysterical.

4) Tonight on the late night circuit, Aubrey Plaza will be on Conan (TBS 11PM) and Don Rickles will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC 12AM).

5) He hasn’t tweeted yet, but I’m sure James Adomian will be hilarious on Twitter. Follow @JAdomian.

6) Drew Droege’s Chloe Sevigny needs a vacation…

7) Read Taki Magazine’s much more elaborate plea for comedians to make jokes and not apologies than the ones we wrote for Laughspin (who they sort of throw under the bus) here and here.

8) Patton Oswalt gets a B+ from the A.V. Club for his Finest Hour.

Morning Debriefing 6/29/11

1) Last night, I went to the “scene” open mic in Portland at Suki’s and immediately thought, “Man, I wish I started comedy in Portland.” Ironically enough, as I’m dropping in from LA, the entire Portland comedy scene, which apparently was in attendance, was saying good bye to one of their heroes Richard Bain, who is coming down to LA. From the greenest-of-the-green-newbies to mainstays and respected figures in Portland comedy, everyone was there in support of Bain.

LA is so huge, just physically, and many comedians are so incredibly busy with their own act, sketch group that has to put a video out weekly, podcast that records whenever it gets a chance, show or two that they have to produce and promote, that the whole comedy scene in LA could never be in full attendance of anything. Yet, seeing even more camaraderie in comedy than the pockets of it that exist in LA would not only intrinsically make for better comedy, but would further dispel that image that LA’s a soul sucking town.

So, yes, I’m saying that if you’re a comedian in LA, go see a show that you’re not on or go support another comedian without trying to get booked.

2) Congratulations to Nick Kroll on getting the Nick Show Kroll picked up and Peter Atencio being attached to the Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele Project all for Comedy Central. Also, congrats to Comedy Central for making some solid picks for this season. [via Deadline]

3) Louis CK on The Daily Show getting Jon Stewart to beg him to stop. Fox News, are you taking notes?

4) Hannibal Buress on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

5) Continuing a great run of comedy on late night TV this week, Jon Dore’s on Conan TBS 11PM. Watch, record, or do whatever you got to do to see it.

6) Speaking of Conan, James Adomian on one of his last days before going to NY was John Wayne in this sketch last night. Speaking of Adomian leaving, you better be at Meltdown tonight to catch him before he leaves.

7) Neil Hamburger Helper Cards? Yes, please. [via EightyFourFilms]

Morning Debriefing 6/8/11

1) Comedy Bureau favorite JAMES ADOMIAN will be on Lopez Tonight on TBS at MIDNIGHT. Watch live, set your DVR’s, OR check back here tomorrow as it will be posted.

2) Andrés Du Bouchet’s taping is tonight 10PM at Bar Lubitsch (7702 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA). This is a perfect part to be a part of comedy history/catch his one-of-a-kind absurdist stand-up/laugh until it hurts and then finding a way to laugh some more.

3) Thai Rivera will be debuting his new self-titled album at the Ontario Improv (4555 Mills Circle, Ontario, CA) next Thurs. June 16th 8PM. Thai’s proof that grinding it out at open mics, no matter where they are or how they are, can, through tireless hard work pays off and does so on your own terms (i.e. headlining your own show to release your own CD).

4) Melissa Villasenor auditions at America’s Got Talent. She gives that show’s name validation. Seriously. I first saw her an indie, topic based, comedy show a year ago, and only a month or so ago, she got passed at the Comedy Store as a regular, and now, this. Congratulations and hopefully she’ll leave Forever 21 soon.

5) Secret comedy show at the Comedy Brewery w/Michelle Buteau. E-mail comedybrewery@gmail.com for details. The only thing we know is that it’s in downtown. It’s that secret.

9) It has come to the attention of the Comedy Bureau that two videos in particular on Osama Bin Laden’s death featuring the amazing Table of Galaxies (the hilarious duo of James Adomian and Whitest Kids U Know’s Trevor Moore) and Hasan Minhaj didn’t get nearly enough press (even though they’ve already been posted here) due to the political nature of the humor in them. Interestingly enough, we have not vilified Bin Laden the same way we have Adolf Hitler. Hitler is one of the “go to” references for evil incarnate and Bin Laden is far from that. It’s not like when Indiana Jones met Hitler when there was no doubt that Indy is looking into the face of evil. The annoucement of Osama Bin Laden’s death in the social networking age where “no stone goes unturned” and subsequently made fun of brought about jokes about the death of Osama Bin Laden explore the mythos behind Osama Bin Laden, even questioning whether he really died or not. Watch the two videos below and think about it.
