Peacock has already been off-to-the-races in terms of putting on a great weekly Thursday stand-up show in the heart of Atwater Village.
This Thursday is very special as you can see that the writers of Conan are assembling on to one show WITH Conan sidekick and announcer, the one and only Andy Richter hosting. Did we mention that it’s only a $5 suggested donation to attend? OK, we mentioned it now. So, make a reminder on your phone for #TeamPeacock (or PeaCoco?) at Club Tee Gee this Thurs. 6/27.
In fact, we’d go so far as to say that you shouldn’t spend too much time thinking about or contextualizing what you see in the thumbnail above.
Just play the set and enjoy the wonder of wildly clever absurdist comedian Jon Dore.
While many television networks are looking for their next big sketch comedy hit series, we want to let everyone know once again that Conan and Team Coco are still making some of the best sketches around.
Case in point: this World Series sketch that begs the question, “Does the Boliviguay government disavow the World Baseball Classic due to their stance on sandwiches?”
The folks responsible for writing some of the funniest things in late night are doing a show this Monday night at Flappers. That includes Conan staff writers Laurie Kilmartin, Brian Kiley, Dan Cronin, Todd Levin, Andrés du Bouchet, Levi MacDougall, and Jose Arroyo.
Tickets are $10 (with a two item minimum) and you can (and should) get them here.
The rest of our listings for comedy shows, events, open mics, and maps can be found at www.thecomedybureau.com.
Conan’s Matt O’Brien, recent head writer Mike Sweeney, Todd Levin, Jose Arroyo, Dan Cronin, Andres Du Bouchet, Rob Kutner, Jessie Gaskell, Levi MacDougall, and Leah Krinsky all join Thrilling Adventure Hour creator Ben Blacker for a conversation about the inner workings of the Conan’s writers’ room.
The Writers Panel: Inside the Conan Writers Room will be at The Nerdmelt Showroom on Thursday, Apr. 14th at 7PM. Tickets are $10.
The rest of our listings for comedy events and open mics along with corresponding maps are embedded at www.thecomedybureau.com.
No longer will it just be Montreal and Toronto that get the upside of having a Just For Laughs Comedy Festival every year. From Nov. 5th-16th three separate comedy tours across Atlantic, Central, and Western Canada will be running all under JFL’s banner.
The Western Canada JFL tour will be particularly great with Demetri Martin, Jon Dore, Levi MacDougall, and Todd Glass.
