kevin barnett – The Comedy Bureau

Tickets are only $10 and all proceeds will be going to Kevin’s family. Go get them here before they probably sell out.

Kevin Barnett passed away yesterday at the age of 32 while down in Mexico. The cause for his death has yet to be determined and announced.

*UPDATE*-After an autopsy report, Kevin’s cause of death on Jan. 22nd in Tijuana, as reported by E! News was “Non Traumatic Hemorrhage, caused by pancreatitis”. His body has yet to be returned to his family back in the U.S.

Though he is now gone at such an early age, he did so much in comedy in such a very short time.

Between his stand-up, co-creating Rel, writing for several other TV shows, the Round Table of Gentlemen podcast, and many other things that bear Barnett’s name, there was so much more that he could have done because he undoubtedly going to have a long, thriving career in comedy.

So, if you have the time, go down your Internet rabbit hole of choice to see all of his many works.

The Best Friends Show is always pretty great.

This line-up though is pretty special, even by their standards as best friends and real life married couples Emily Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani and Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher are on the line-up for this Saturday.

Tickets are $5 online and $6 at door. You can (and should) get tickets in advance here.

TruTV Gives Greenlights First Sketch Comedy Series “Friends of the People”

Coming this Summer, TruTV will expand their branding as a network to include a sketch comedy show starring the likes of Kevin Barnett, Jennifer Bartels, Jermaine Fowler, Lil Rel Howery , The Lucas Bros. and Josh Rabinowitz.

So, TruTV first had comedians do talking heads on shows like World’s Dumbest Criminals, then had Impractical Jokers, and now will go on with fully contained sketch comedy, which is very nice to see.
