Throughout the pandemic, Looking Forward To It and its host Josh Gondelman have faithfully served up virtual comedy shows specifically in support of voter engagement beyond the 2020 election (which is over despite what QAnon folks might think). Just on their virtual run, they’ve raised over $50K.

Now, with America opening up, Gondelman will get the chance do the very first Looking Forward To It in person at Brooklyn’s beloved littlefield with a, per usual, amazing line-up. This edition will be supporting Field Team 6 and feature the comedy stylings of Jes Tom, Negin Farsad, Larry Owens, a video from Dan Fox, and hip-hop improv from North Coast.

This very first in-person Looking Forward To It is set for Sat. Jul. 17th at 8PM ET and tickets are $15 GA and $40 VIP. Go get ’em here.

Well, it’s officially official in a way that can’t be more official. Trump is no longer POTUS and Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. Still, that doesn’t mean everything is solved. If anything, we’ve got a long, long way to go before problems at the federal, state, and local level are taken care of.

That’s why Sarah Squirm is co-hosting yet another grand live-stream comedy fundraiser, this time for progressive candidate Daniel Lee’s campaign for California State Senate. Per usual, Squirm has assembled a fiery line-up of folks we love watching and dearly miss seeing on stage. That includes: co-host Ayo Edibiri, Yassir Lester, Jo Firestone, Nori Reed, DJ Douggpound, Jak Knight, Camirin Farmer, Larry Owens, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt as well as musical guest Fat Tony.

Access to the live-stream this weekend is via paying what you can, leaving little excuse to not catch this live-stream. The Daniel Lee Livestream Comedy Fundraiser is set to stream on Sat. Jan. 23rd at 7PM PT/10PM ET. Get more details, donate, etc. here.

Pick of the Day: SALEM 10/28

To keep in the Halloween spirit (and do a show safely while the pandemic still rages on), Drew Anderson and Julia Shiplett are putting together a very special, very exclusive live reading of their comedy pilot, SALEM.

You may not get to do trick-or-treating or endless party-hopping, but you can tune in what might be the perfect comedy thing for this Halloween season. They describe it as:

Mere days before Salem’s 10th Annual Harvest Festival, something strange happens that derails the big day and makes everyone start to question if there could be a witch among them. If you’ve ever wondered what THE CRUCIBLE meets THE OFFICE but very gay would be like, SALEM is your answer.

Supported by many of the very best comedy folks from all over the country including: Mary Beth Barone, Carmen Christopher, Drew Droege, Robby Hoffman, Molly Kearney, Langston Kerman, Marty Miller, Aparna Nancherla, Larry Owens, Rachel Sennott, Karolena Theresa, Sydnee Washington, and Ben Wasserman

SALEM is set to go live on Wed. Oct. 28th at 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET. RSVP for Zoom link w/a suggested donation of $5-$10 here.

Pick of the Day: Comedy for Navajo & Hopi COVID Relief 5/17

Though vastly underreported, one of the hardest hit groups by the COVID-19 in America is Native Americans. For many tribes, their reservations are vastly underserved and lacked many essential resources and services without threat of a pandemic including running water, access to medical services, and even a scarcity of grocery stores.

Of the many, many causes you can support, this might be a good one to give your money to. And, as luck we have it, you can specifically support COVID-19 relief for the Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation via joining in for a splendid evening of live-streamed, innovative comedy.

This Comedy for Navajo & Hopi COVID Relief features some of most dynamic comedians around such as Larry Owens, Jo Firestone, Sarah Squirm, Dan Licata, Jes Tom, and host/event organizer Brian Bahe. A line-up like this will give you a night you will never forget as there’s no real telling what they’ll do, but, whatever it may be, it’s going to be like nothing you’ve seen before.

So, please support the Navajo and Hopi and enjoy what should be one hell of a comedy show for this benefit on Sunday at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Tickets are $10-$30. Please go get them here.
