Silly, absurdist sketch comedy, fantastic jazz, and an excellent example of Vaudevillian style clowning all come together here. 

Sammy Miller and The Congregation might be the most fun loving jazz band around that weaves tomfoolery in between songs and Bill Irwin is a traditional clown that can show how Vaudeville can still live on.

On top of all of that, this Sunday night, September 24th at 8:30PM, engagement will take place at the lovely Old Town Music Hall, an classical revival theater in El Segundo.

Tickets are $25 and please, please get them here.

H. Jon Benjamin, The “Jazz Daredevil” Who Still Doesn’t Really Know How to Play Piano, Jams Out with Stephen Colbert and Jon Batiste and Stay Human

One of the silliest things that H. Jon Benjamin has ever done in his illustrious career as a professional silly person is recording an entire jazz album with real jazz musicians without really knowing how to play jazz (or an instrument for that matter). 

The album was called “Well, I Should Have…* Jon Benjamin-Jazz Daredevil” and the session players really didn’t know what was going on before they started recording.

On last night’s Colbert, Benjamin did a rare live performance from the album with Colbert’s house band Jon Batiste and Stay Human as well as Stephen Colbert himself on trumpet*. 

*Stephen also says he doesn’t know how to play the trumpet.

Enjoy some top shelf goofing around here.

Also, you can get your own very copy of “Well, I Should Have…* Jon Benjamin-Jazz Daredevil” here.
