dicker troy, johnny pemberton, josh fadem

Josh Fadem and Johnny Pemberton have collaborated for some of the most daring, silly, and wonderful comedy for many years over now. From being tied to each other by a rope and trying to perform at the same time to Johnny donning his now cult favorite Dicker Troy character, Josh and Johnny’s shows are always worth showing up for (even if you’re not quite sure what’s going to happen).

Thus, Josh and Dicker Break Bread, a “staged theatre production” (spun off from their monthly showcase where Josh and Dicker host many stand-ups and comedy folks while they do whatever magical riffing they do) is yet another thing where we’re not exactly sure what the duo have up their collective sleeves, but are fully on board for whatever comedic head trip that they’re going to take us on.

It’s set for this Labor Day weekend at Silverlake’s Satellite LA and you ought to get your tickets here.

Please Enjoy This Sweet and Absurdist Short “The Do It Up Date”

Based off a modern fairy tale of sorts that Josh Fadem wrote, The Do It Up Date is, as we see it, pretty close to how many folks feel on a first date. By the way, it got a nod from SXSW this year and picked by Vimeo Staff.

Also, it’s Emily Ting & Andrew Barchilon and stars Bridey Elliott and Josh Fadem.

Give it a watch here.

Running an indie show here in LA from a non-traditional venue is hard enough to do and pulling it off for a year is definitely impressive.

So, give some love to The Frogtown Show celebrating their one year anniversary of offering live comedy under the lovely LA sky and in the back patio of a great vintage store, The Left Bank.

Also, the line-up is pretty damn solid. Get more details here.

Marlena Rodriguez
Josh Fadem
Drennon Davis

Few explore the frontiers of silliness quite like Josh Fadem and Dicker Troy (Johnny Pemberton) and we think you would really regret any time the duo got together and reveled in their next level tomfoolery.

This includes a compilation of short form shows including, Great Minds with Dan Harmon, Crossroads of History, and How to Lose the Presidency, which will be called Night Class and be their latest comedy offering.

Here’s a pretty great teaser for Crossroads of History, a third of Night Class, where Josh Fadem plays Hitler in his days as an artist that never really seemed to go all that well for him.

Night Class premieres this Thurs. Feb. 25th at 11:30PM on the History channel.
