With so many specials and hours of comedy already in existence and dozens of them getting put out every month, how could you possibly turn the form on its head? Well, we found out exactly how when we talked to the amazing, description-defying Joey Greer and he’s wholly unique and unprecedented special, Teeny Tiny, freshly served on YouTube, and how it turns every trope of a comedy special inside out in the best way possible.

Watch Teeny Tiny on YouTube here and follow Joey @godblessjoeygreer on IG.

While there are many a multi-national media conglomerate that are interested in the world of putting out comedy specials and content, do not count out smaller outfits being able to come to the table and play with the “big boys”.

Case in point, the mighty Lyric Hyperion, the long-beloved, forward thinking comedy theatre and performance space (and cafe) has just officially launched their very own production arm, Spesh!, in order to take some big swings and give the networks and streamers alike a run for their money (even with their very deep pockets). This team has taken a long gander at the comedy special landscape and seen a lot of the very same uploaded to everywhere and wanted to shake things up/break the mold with their spirit of “alt comedy 4 all”. Headed up by LH’s very own Sean Casey, Mike Bridenstine, and Jake Kroeger*, Spesh! “…will focus on producing trailblazing specials direct to YouTube alongside short vertical content across socials.”

Their very first specials will be a wild and great start for Spesh! with the debut hours from Emily Browning and Joey Greer, two very treasured voices in the vast and expansive LA comedy scene. Browning’s Temporary, Beautiful, due out Sept. 4th exclusively on YouTube, is equally splendid parts comedy, balloons, songs, and an “elevated deconstruction of crowd work” and Greer is seeking to redefine the entirety of what a comedy can (and should) be with Teeny Tiny, due out on Sept. 12th.

Following that, Spesh! is already on to lining up their next set of comedy luminaries that they’re looking to develop specials/hours with including: Ahmed Bharoocha (The Late Show, Dream Corp LLC), Kat Bird (Comedy Store Door Guy), Harper-Rose Drummond (Parallel Play), Babs Gray (Toxic: The Britney Spears Story, Lady to Lady), Natasha Mercado (The Joe Schmo Show), Veronica Osorio (Hail, Caesar!), Alyssa Sabo (120K+ followers), and Uriah Wesman (Three Cults Walk into a Bar).

From the looks of it, Spesh! could very well be a torch bearer for the future of alt comedy and we’re absolutely here for it.

Throughout our tenure, Pretty, Pretty Pony has been one of our favorite improv groups throughout LA’s vast collection of improv teams (we even picked them for one of our annual 100 Best Things in Comedy We Were Witness To in No Particular Order).

Housed at Santa Monica’s Westside Comedy Theater, they were occupying a monthly slot featuring great guest monologists and a razor sharp team of some of the best improvisers around.

That would include:
Chris Alvarado (Comedy Bang! Bang!/Heyday)
Joey Greer (Mission IMPROVable/Bear Supply)
Vanessa Ragland (Pop My Culture Podcast/Ragland & Greer)
Ed Roe (The Best Man/Queen George)
Atul Singh (Mission IMPROVable/Westside Sketch Co.)
Cole Stratton (Pop My Culture Podcast/SF Sketchfest)

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the Westside Comedy Theater to temporarily close its door, but Pretty, Pretty Pony will keep the show going with one fantastic guest, Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development), this Fri. Apr. 17th on WCT’s Twitch channel. The show is free to watch, but they’ll be taking donations for the theater via voluntary ticket purchase here.

By himself, Joey Greer, one of our favorite improvisers around, puts on one hell of a show by improvising bits for an hour with the aid/disruption of a DJ.

It’s as crazy of a “conversation” you can have (with music playing intermittently).

The next edition of In Conversation with Music will be on Wednesday, July 18th at 10PM at Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth Theater. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Please do get them in advance here.
