Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi’s hit podcast Throwing Shade is on tour and making a stop at Largo on Thurs., Nov. 15th. If you, for some reason, want to be at a comedy show where the female and LGBTQ voices get to talk sh*t, then you probably know about and love Throwing Shade.

In case you don’t, you’ll definitely want to go to this.

Tickets are going for $35 and you can and very much should go get them here.

Here’s a Live Version of Fiona Apple’s Trump-ed Version of The Christmas Song

December 19, 2016

christmas song, fiona apple, live, parody, satire, trump

Earlier this month, renowned singer-songwriter Fiona Apple did her own version of the classic holiday tune, The Christmas Song, with a bit of a zeitgeist-y twist.

The satirical, Trump inspired version of the song that give a ‘darkest timeline’ vibe to the normally heartwarming song went viral, almost a forgone conclusion of a Fiona Apple anti-Trump holiday parody.

Apple has been performing the song live and in this recent performance gives a bit of extra bite to the changed lyrics.

We really have a feeling this song might get more play even beyond Christmas over the next few years.

Chris Gethard Really Wants to Be Kelly Ripa’s Sidekick on “Live!”

chris gethard, chris gethard show, kelly and gethard, kelly ripa, live

This is not some dumb alt comedy stunt. I. Want. To. Be. @KellyRipa ’s. Sidekick. For. Real. So. Bad. Dream job. #KellyAndGethard

–@chrisgethard

Since the very sudden and public departure of Michael Strahan from Live! with Kelly and MIchael, there has been a void in the realm of morning television programming. There are rumors of names of who might sit beside Kelly Ripa going forward.

One of the more surprising names is Chris Gethard, host of the forward thinking talk show The Chris Gethard Show. Chris has opted to toss his own name in the hat for consideration.

In fact, earlier this week, Gethard typed out and posted the following in order to make his case to be a sidekick to Kelly Ripa.

*probably should say “now married”

No word has been given about where Gethard stands in the running to replace Strahan or how this would affect The Chris Gethard Show if he got the gig, but #KellyandGethard would likely bring a bunch of generations together that wouldn’t otherwise watch the same morning TV.

Tig Notaro’s Live Getting Physical CD Release

Tig Notaro’s fantastic album Live that originally just supposed to be a long set at Largo last year is now getting a physical album release. It was deservedly regarded as one of the top comedy albums of the year by many publications and garnered great praise from Louis CK.

So, set aside money for this even if you already own the digital version.

Bob Odenkirk & David Cross Adding Stand-Up Tour to Promoting to Their Book

Two things regarding this:
1) This should be really great and you try to get tickets when they go on sale.
2) If you do get to go, resist in yelling out the name of your favorite Mr. Show sketch in the hopes that they’ll do it live.

The Midnight Show Starts YouTube Channel For Their Live Sketches

live, midnight show, ucb, youtube channel

The Midnight Show is one of the funniest sketch groups around and all of you should catch them live if you can (you know, they just went on tour with Drew Carey around the country). However, if you missed your chance to do so, they’ve just started a YouTube channel of their sketches performed live.

First up, candy sandwiches…
