It’s been awhile, but Set List: Improvised Stand-Up is doing their next proper show next week at Hollywood’s Sycamore Tavern.

Whether you’ve never seen it or not, you should go check out watch how esteemed comedians’ brains work while joking about an abstract, never-before-seen topic. Set List started here in LA, but has, over the years, toured nearly every comedy festival as well as been adapted into a TV show overseas.

Creator Troy Conrad gathered a heck of a line-up for this one too.

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.

It’s interesting to note that all the nominated comedy albums were album versions of comedy specials.

Out of the 83 categories that The Grammys span, two categories always have comedy offerings: Best Spoken Word Album and Best Comedy Album.

This year, the comedy nominees are:

BEST SPOKEN WORD ALBUM (INCLUDES POETRY, AUDIO BOOKS & STORYTELLING)
Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, And Assorted Hijinks-Dick Cavett (Macmillan Audio)
Yes Please-Amy Poehler & Various Artists (Harper Audio)

BEST COMEDY ALBUM
Back To The Drawing Board-Lisa Lampanelli (Comedy Dynamics)
Brooklyn-Wyatt Cenac (Other Music Recording)
Happy. And A Lot.-Jay Mohr (Lolflix Inc.)
Just Being Honest-Craig Ferguson (Lionsgate Records)
Live At Madison Square Garden-Louis C.K. (Comedy Dynamics)

As mentioned above, each of the comedy album nominees are albums derived from a comedy special that was released or aired over the last year or so. That hasn’t always been the case, but there are a lot of lower profile albums that were so great that didn’t have the benefit of having a televised special to accompany it like Mary Mack’s Pig Woman. That’s not to say someone like C.K. isn’t deserving of a nomination, but we just wish there was a wider seeming scope in the field of nominees.

Hopefully, that’ll change in the coming years even if they have to add another category or two.
