Kurt Braunohler Is a Topic For Question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
And so, Kurt Braunohler joins the exclusive club of comedians that are topics for quiz show trivia along with Pete Holmes.
Perhaps, they’ll have smoking jackets made like SNL’s Five Timer Club?
Kurt Braunohler to Launch His Comedy Central Web Series at Riot LA
We’re not too sure what the fantastic Kurt Braunohler has in store for his upcoming web series at Comedy Central/CC:Studios called Roustabout, but we have no doubt that it’ll be groundbreaking silliness of the highest degree.
If you’re in attendance at Riot LA this weekend (get tickets here), specifically Jan. 11th @ The Smell, like us, you’ll get exactly an idea of what Kurt’s up to in a special live preview.
Hot Tub to Celebrate Its One Year Anniversary in LA
One of the best live comedy shows in NYC (actually, the entire country) got up and transplanted itself to Los Angeles when Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal landed at The Virgil every Monday, presented by our good friends and comedy behind the scenes extraordinaires Cleftclips, a year ago and it’s been one of the best things to happen to this city (as noted in our 100 Best Things in Comedy We Were Witness To In No Particular Order of 2013).
So, they’re marking their 1 year anniversary of being here in LA, which you shouldn’t miss on that fact alone. On top of that, the line-up is pretty fantastic with Patton Oswalt, Sean Patton, Kumail Nanjiani, Andrés du Bouchet, Andy Peters, and music by Nick Diamonds.
Stop asking questions already, get ready to see something amazing, and get your tickets.
Bryan Cook, Matt Braunger, Kurt Braunohler, Kyle Kinane, Jake Weisman, Ben Roy, Matt Knudsen, Howard Kremer, and more really funny people audition what could make for Asylum’s next great SyFy movie, Space Cops for Denver’s renowned comedy group The Grawlix.
Watch it Space Cops auditions here and now.
If the hilarious Kurt Braunohler had to get in one bar fight, it might be with a DJ that’s provoked by Kurt scream spelling and ending up in something much weirder than traditional fighting.
Oh wait, he did get one such bar fight and it’s the only one he’s ever been in. See what exactly happened on this episode of This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir.
CC:Studios Renews Three Series/Adds Six New Series
We’ve already told you about The Walsh Brothers Great & Secret Comedy Show and This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir returning, but we’re thrilled to see that the likes of Kurt Braunohler, Charlotte Newhouse & Jillian Bell, and more get web series pick ups.
In case you didn’t know, Comedy Central’s CC:Studios has a lot of really hysterical, innovative stuff going on you should be watching.
Adult Swim’s Think Talk interview web series has Kurt Braunohler (who you might have seen his album “How Do I Land?” get released today) stop in to immediately get into his personal life, leaving NYC behind, and other really personal questions about Kurt, which Kurt doesn’t take lightly.
In short, it’s pretty damn funny. Watch it here.
Not only did he pull of raising enough money to skywrite a joke on a weekday afternoon here in LA, but Kurt Braunohler is an amazing stand up comedian and you should really pick up his first comedy album “How Do I Land?” from Kill Rock Stars.
It just came out today and you can still get commemorative shirts, towels, and double dongs right here.
Line-up/Tickets for 6th Annual Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival
We’ve been quite fortunate with the wave of comedy festivals coming on this side of country over the next several months, not to mention the plethora of comedy nightly here in LA. However, if you’re closer to the Atlantic than the Pacific, you might want to check out Eugene Mirman’s comedy festival now going on its 6th year.
At the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival will be Kristen Schaal, Jim Gaffigan, Ira Glass, Wyatt Cenac, Jon Benjamin, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael Che, Kurt Braunohler, Leo Allen, Jena Friedman, Dan St. Germain, and many more doing shows with such fun titles as The Urbane Comedy Hour: Non-Stop Courtesy and Culture Through the Prism of Comedy.
The festival runs Sept. 26th-29th in Brooklyn and you can get your tickets at the link.
If you want to (and should) learn more about and get life advice from the guy, the hilarious Kurt Braunohler, who did a Kickstarter to write a joke in the sky, please watch his debut stand up set on Conan that taped yesterday right here.
Also, you can and need to pre-order his upcoming album “How Do I Land?”, which gives you the option of getting a commemorative two sided dildo.
Reggie Watts, Kurt Braunohler, Kyle Kinane, Beth Stelling, Nikki Glaser, Sean Patton, and the comedic stylings of Denver’s own Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy, Andrew Orvedahl, and many more are coming together for Denver’s first High Plains Comedy Festival.
On Aug. 23rd & 24th, if you’re in or around Denver or can get there, you’re not going to want to miss this, so, if that’s the case, get your tickets right now.
After writing jokes in the sky, rewriting greeting cards, and posting up sassy traffic signs, Kurt Braunohler is doing something a little more conventional comedically in releasing his first comedy album entitled “How Do I Land?”. If you’ve seen Kurt do stand-up over the last year throughout the US, you know that Braunohler is hilarious when pulling all those big, funny, absurdist performance art pranks, but he is also hilarious when just talking into a microphone.
Pre-order How Do I Land? to come out August 20th now from Kill Rock Stars as well as a novelty towel, shirt, and glass dildo. (You read that right and it’s pretty amazing).
Canada’s Comedy Network Picks Up Reruns of IFC’s Comedy Bang! Bang &’Bunk
Comedy Network, a big time Canadian comedy channel has just made a good move in acquiring rights to air a block of Comedy Bang! Bang! and the unfortunately short lived Bunk with Kurt Braunohler from IFC.
We’re really glad to see not only Comedy Bang! Bang! getting aired in another country, but also that people will have another chance to see a vastly underrated Bunk.
Here’s a video of Kurt Braunohler’s latest project with a sarcastic stop sign. Hopefully, it hasn’t been taken down and people can find it and instagram, reddit it, and such.
For those who want more of Kurt’s campaign to insert absurdity and stupidity into strangers’ lives, rest assured that he’s onto his next project with billboards.
Kurt Braunohler’s Latest Project, “No YOU Stop”
As reported yesterday, Kurt Braunohler released/installed his latest project involving a stop sign with a twist of sarcasm. By our estimations, it’s probably somewhere in the Silverlake/Echo Park area of LA.
Seeing Kurt’s campaign for stupidity and absurdity in strangers lives should replace most people’s self help books.
Look For Kurt Braunohler’s Next Project Involving a Stop Sign
Following his Kurt Braunohler’s awesome Cloud Project, his next prank/stunt/etc. might be up today involving a stop sign with a bit of his own personal stamp of stupidity and absurdity.
There’s a picture of it at the link and hopefully more to come soon from random people that see it.
Kurt Braunohler: “HOW DO I LAND?! Here’s a comp of the actual letters from the Cloud Project! The actual day had a very high winds, and the letters appeared and disappeared quite quickly. But if you watched the sky for 20 minutes you could probably piece it together. BUT STILL WE DID IT!!! Thanks to everyone who contributed! Photo by Robyn Von Swank!”
We feel so privileged to have been there.
Talking boats with no prior knowledge of boats, blindfolding guests and dropping them off in a random part of town, segments about animals if you think animals are, and hilarious guests like Paul F. Tompkins on this very first episode are all part of Kurt Braunohler’s new Nerdist podcast ‘The K Ohle’.
In short, listen and subscribe to this.
…we saw three chill cowboys, The Fringe Riders, try to sing their way out of being exiled in front of real bales of hay at the back of a comic book store, Kurt Braunohler have someone try to skywrite a joke over downtown LA, and Wes Hudson tase himself in the crotch, pretty much, as an apology at Underbelly.
This was all amazing, hilarious, and happened in the span of a couple of days. If you’re not going to see live comedy, and we know this almost sounds obvious, please change that immediately and go to a show.
The day is finally here where we get to see the hilarious Kurt Braunohler’s dream come to life as a plane will skywrite a joke with clouds. If you’re in LA and free this afternoon, there’s a public viewing party in Downtown LA at The Perch starting at 2PM.
Get ready to have your Instagram feed flooded with something wonderful.
