live stream comedy

Near the beginning of lockdown, one of the more delightful recurring live-streams was a morning show that was meant for kids (though it definitely had plenty for existential-fear ridden adults to enjoy) put on by one Mary Houlihan. Everything during this time has changed so rapidly and Houlihan’s show changed as well moving to night time and being a little less for kids and then having to take time away from all of that together.

Fortunately, Houlihan is returning to some regularly scheduled programming via a brand new show, all of her own design, Mary Houlihan’s Painting Party, streaming live on Tuesdays at Planet Scum at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Not only will there be painting lessons, but Mary will be playing old web games in what is promised to be “Bob Ross meets Pee Wee’s Playhouse” (perhaps, the perfect break from reality, right now?)

Mary Houlihan’s Painting Party starts going weekly on Tuesdays this week, 9/22, at planetscum.live.

Pick of the Day: An Evening with Baratunde Thurston

baratunde thurston, live stream comedy, stand up

In general, you should follow, hear, and listen to the comedy and works of Baratunde Thurston. On top of having a resume that sports The Onion and The Daily Show and bestselling book How To Be Black, everything Baratunde has involved himself in (Live on Lockdown) has struck a balance of forward thinking, succinct, socially conscious, and, of course, funny.

So, at this moment of on-going mass protests sparked by the murder of an unarmed George Floyd by law enforcement, we’re betting that he’ll have something to say that you really ought to hear, especially as there will be a Q&A. He’ll be doing a virtual headlining stand-up set at the Nowhere Comedy Club this Wednesday, Jun. 3rd at 6PM PT/9PM ET.

Tickets are $10-$25 and you can and should go get them here.
