al jackson, can i kick it, comedy show, hip hop, hollywood, joe derosa, tone bell

Can I Kick It? first came around in the glorious days of Nerdmelt @ Meltdown (RIP). It was a comedy show the hysterically dissected hip-hop by riffing on music videos, revisiting “out there” deep cuts, and even live rap battles.

Hosts, all great comedians and hip-hop aficionados, Tone Bell, Al Jackson, and Joe DeRosa will be bringing all of this and more to Hollywood American Legion Post 43 (2035 N Highland Ave.) this Sat., Jul. 20th at 8:30PM.

Tickets are only $10 and you can (and should) pick them up here.

We’ve got a good feeling that this show, The Professionals*, will be kind of like Tough Crowd with a modern twist (a thing we’ve been wishing would happen for awhile). Whether the comedians on the panel end up pulling off sounding like professionals outside of their areas of expertise or not, it’s an amazing line-up worthy of going to see do pretty much anything (we mean, just look at it).

Tickets are $5 in advance and $8 at the door. Go get them quick here.

Great FREE comedy, great FREE pizza from Prufrock Pizza (served at 7PM when doors open and available while supplies last), and a great happy hour courtesy of Deep Eddy Vodka is just a few hours away.

Honestly, it’s worth the trip downtown and we would never say that lightly.

We’ve got shows coming up and you should come to them.

Well, actually, it’s MANDATORY that you attend one of them (though, we promise it will be “fun”).

The other has free Prufrock Pizza and a nice, neat handful of our favorite performers. Also, it’s FREE.

We’re serious when we say that you should go to both our Mandatory Holiday Office Party at The Echoplex 12/12 and Water Cooler Talk at The Love Song Bar 12/5.

Through thorough surveillance of our own employees at The Comedy Bureau, we have found that talking at a water cooler during your break is one of the best parts of people’s day.

So, we’re trying desperately to copy that “vibe” and bring it to you in a night of comedy with our personal favorites that we’ve had our eyes on for years.

With assistance from Deep Eddy Vodka and DoLA, we will present comedic performances from Laurie Kilmartin, Joe DeRosa, Michael Rayner, David Gborie for “Water Cooler Talk” to be hosted by TCB’s own Jake Kroeger.

Cool (and hungry) people should arrive early for free pizza from Prufrock Pizzeria between 7PM and 8PM while supplies last!

Water Cooler Talk will commence at The Love Song Bar on Tuesday, December 5th with doors open (and, again, free gourmet pizza) at 7PM and the show starting promptly at 8PM.

comedy album, comedy central, joe derosa, stand up, you let me down

Last weekend, Joe DeRosa’s first hour special premiered on Comedy Central. We hope you didn’t miss it as DeRosa delivered a great hour of meticulously crafted, dark stand-up.

That being said, the album version of the special is now available so you can still listen to You Let Me Down if you didn’t see it on TV or you can just have to listen whenever you feel like it (as opposed to waiting for it to air again).

Get You Let Me Down off of iTunes here. Also, it’s streaming on Spotify.

Please watch Joe hilariously and brutally pick apart the world around him, which is wonderfully accented by the asymmetrically hung, scary paintings surrounding him.

Joe DeRosa has a new stand-up special that premieres this Friday night at midnight on Comedy Central. Called You Let Me Down, it’s Joe first hour special and we personally can’t wait for the world to see what Joe can do with his dark, well-crafted brand of comedy when he has an hour to play with.

goodfellas, joe derosa, storytelling, this is not happening

Goodfellas will forever be one of the stand out films of 1990 and in the crime/mobster genre of cinema.

Still, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t learn how to deal with people based on this violent movie.

Joe DeRosa highlights why that might be in this great story from This Is Not Happening.

Ron Funches, Drennon Davis, Joe DeRosa, and Rory Scovel Made Up a Faux-Christian A Capella Group at Outside Lands

August 11, 2015

According to our sources, there was, all of sudden, an empty slot to fill on the jam packed line-up at The Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival this past weekend. Live comedy has its own tent at the festival in San Francisco, which is why Ron Funches, Joe DeRosa, Drennon Davis, and Rory Scovel were there in the first place.

Yet, the four stepped up to fill the slot on the main stage apparently as the makeshift christian a capella group Ron Funches and The Five Footprints.

Watch these NSFW (or church for that matter) clips of what might be a literal once-in-a-lifetime performance.

Get Joe DeRosa’s New Album Mistakes Were Made: The B-Sides

September 2, 2014

b-sides, comedy album, joe derosa, mistakes were made

When you’ve been a comedian long enough, you likely have a catalog of material that’s taped over the years that perhaps was great, but didn’t quite fit in certain places in albums or specials. Often, those bits just get lost in the archives, but Joe DeRosa has put them together in an entire album. In fact, it was so much, that he made it into a double album.

Thus, Mistakes Were Made: The B-Sides was born and we suggest getting it from iTunes as it was just released today and enjoying it soon as you can.
