The marvelous Jacqueline Novak (just watch this late night set to see what we’re talking about) is in town and also doing a run of her hour at Lyric Hyperion all throughout next week. 

Also, John Early apparently will be there to “praise” the hour after it’s performed. 

Knowing all of that, we have a pretty strong feeling that this might sell out, so you best get your tickets here now.

If you want a mix of club music done up with an absurdist flair, might we suggest attending Club Comic @ The Virgil from Brooklyn’s Sam Taggart this Friday night. Sam will give you, we’re betting, the most unforgettable “club experience” you’ve ever had.

Also, special guests John Early, Naomi Ekperigin, and Mary Houlihan will be the cherries on top of the night.

Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at door. You can (and should) get them ahead of time here.

In case you’re not aware, the process of not only coming to America to live and work is not only insanely difficult, but awfully expensive. As that’s the case, a great comedy benefit show is happening for Odenkirk/Provissiero Entertainment’s Kora Christensen as she needs help paying for her green card. 

Just look at that line-up. It’s pretty swell if you ask us.

You can get tickets here.

Kate Berlant and John Early Are Making a Comedy Pilot Presentation ‘This Is Heaven’ for Hulu

Individually, John Early and Kate Berlant are forces to be reckoned with and together even more so. 

Just see their Vimeo mini-series 555…

…and their Tonight Show set for proof.

So, a half hour sitcom pilot presentation This Is Heaven where they play best friends needs no further explanation in order for us to get excited. Hopefully, before too long, we’ll get to see this pilot go to series at Hulu.

Search Party Season 2 Has an Even More Insidious Hijinks-Filled Mystery

If you thought that the gang of Alia Shawkat, John Reynolds, Meredith Hagner, and John Early lost sight of the forest for the trees in season 1 in Search Party, season 2 has them seeing the forest and think the trees are somehow watching them, if that makes some sort of sense. 

In any case, this trailer for season 2 looks even more delectable as it definitely seems like they have all dug themselves into a bigger hole.

Search Party season 2 premieres on Sunday, November 19th on TBS.

Tickets are $20 (the venue is small, so they will be limited and you should get them sooner rather than later), and cocktail attire is required.

Tomorrow night, Lindsay Ames’ My Diary will gather some of the best people from every corner of comedy and has them share a part of a diary that they kept at some point in their life. This usually includes accompanying pictures that show just how “expressive” they were in writing in their most private correspondence. 

John Early, who you probably just saw on The Tonight Show, the voice of one of the new Powerpuff Girls Natalie Palamides, and Baron Vaughn (both on late night and in Grace & Frankie) is just half of this fine line-up.

Kate Berlant and John Early Have a Surrealist Comedy Mini Series “555″ Coming to Vimeo and It Just Got a Trailer

555, andrew deyoung, hollywood, john early, kate berlant, mini series, short film

The duo of Kate Berlant and John Early with director Andrew DeYoung are a comedy power trio that needs to be on all of your radars. 

Both Berlant and Early have already gotten to do works separately on Netflix’s Characters and DeYoung has directed both of them before in such fine work as Dinner Party. 

Their latest collaboration will arrive in the form of a Vimeo on Demand mini-series of short films called 555.  (the series’ focus on “a stark, humid, surreality of Hollywood,” probably suggests the 555 to be a reference to the three digit prefix that signifies a fake telephone number primarily used in movies and television.) 

Get a delicious taste of what’s in store for 555 in this trailer, then you can buy (or pre-order) all five episodes for $3.99 at Vimeo on Tuesday, January 31st.

TBS’ Search Party Gets Its Most Screwball Trailer Yet and Announces That You’ll Be Able to Binge Every Episode

Among TBS’ line-up, one of the more mysterious shows coming up is Search Party from Charles Rogers and Sarah Violet Bliss. 

Many teasers and trailers have been released over the last several months, but the mystery comedy starring Alia Shawkat, but the show itself is very much a mystery. Maybe, it’s better that way?

This trailer definitely suggests a more screwball vibe to the show, which we’re up for and highlights potential scene-stealer, John Early.

In any case, on Monday, November 21st, you’ll be able to binge every episode and possibly get to the bottom of, along with Shawkat, where Chantal is.
