One of Brooklyn’s favorite outdoor shows had been happening in Prospect Park, but has been touring around the country for last few months. Host Teklai has been leading off the best way to spend your Sunday afternoons with a great blend of comedy and DJs, rappers, and more.

Luckily, one of the stops in LA and at the amphitheater at Pan Pacific Park (right next to The Grove) this Sun. Oct. 10th. Music starts at 2PM PT and the comedy goes up at 3PM PT and we have no doubt there’ll be a nice hang in one of LA’s pristine parks post-show.

On the bill:

Comedy Chloe Hilliard, Rell Battle, Sasha Merci, James Davis, Ashley Ray, and more

Music: American Matthew ( Believe in Yourself Do It Yourself Records)

Get more info, RSVP for the show here, and clear out your Sunday brunch plans.

Calling the segment “Woke My Ride” a la Pimp My Ride, Hood Adjacent with James Davis retrofitted a car that will be driven by a young black man to counter every single bad thing that has happened from “driving while black”. 

Perhaps, it’s even safer than a car with just a great safety rating. 

Watch how they pulled it off here.

Comedy Central Greenlights Full Fledged TV Series Starring James Davis After His Successful Snapchat Series

James Davis has carved out his own slot at Comedy Central by explaining urban slang in his Comedy Central Snapchat series Swagasaurus. Now, he’s getting a big upgrade with a weekly show that will expand on delving into his “urban point-of-view” starting early next year.  

Anyone think this will make up for The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore getting cancelled?

You’ll be treated to the stand-up of Cameron Esposito, Eugene Mirman, Janeane Garofalo, Beth Stelling, Aparna Nancherla, Kurt Metzger, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Liza Treyger, the Lucas Brothers, Byron Bowers, Sean Patton, Sam Morril, James Davis, Ian Abramson, Sean Donnelly, Thomas Dale, Ahmed Bharoocha and Emo Philips. 

Part of a great comedy cultural exchange between the U.S. and Canada comes around during the JFL Montreal Comedy Festival when JFL also shoots their stand-up showcase series, Funny as Hell. 

As past episodes have been streamed plenty on Seeso, Seeso has opted to make the series more known in the States, especially because of its heavy use of U.S. talent, to order a sixth season that’ll offered on NBC’s comedy streaming service.

There will be more names that’ll be added to the series during the festival, but that line-up alone is reason enough to go watch it.

They’ve already got one going with James Davis’ Swag-A-Saurus.

The volatile media of Snapchat continues to grow in popularity and, as such, Comedy Central is getting on board with planning to do more shows soon with the likes of folks that we really dig: Liza Treyger, Nikki Glaser, Michelle Wolf, and Yassir Lester.

We’ll be curious to see if they can drive people to use Snapchat for the first time in order to see these shows.

At the beginning of the year, we reported that the very funny Sean O’Connor and Ian Karmel were brought on board to write for the new Late Late Show hosted by James Corden.

As their premiere is less than a month away, they’ve filled the rest of their writing staff.

So, the writers of The Late Late Show with James Corden are: 

Mike Gibbons who is the co-creator of Tosh.0
Sean O’Connor
Ian Karmel
James Davis who recently appeared on Last Call with Carson Daly
Lauren Greenberg 
Ben Hoffman from The Ben Show 
David Dineen-Porter (host of Party of Four podcast)
Nedaa Sweiss
DJ Javerbaum from The Daily Show

So, this bunch makes for a good, wide mix along with Corden and Reggie Watts that has us even more enticed for their debut.
