mary houlihan

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.

As more of the world gets acquainted with the brilliance of Ziwe Fumudoh every week with her IG Live interview show, Baited with Ziwe (again, we’ll say that it might be the series going right now regardless of platform), it should stand to reason that you should explore the rest of her work

That includes her musical comedy album, produced by Amar Ibrahim, Generation Ziwe (streaming wherever you get music) features biting satire about such crucial issues like Universal Healthcare. In fact, one of the tracks is indeed called “Universal Healthcare” and Ziwe goes in hard on America’s horribly flawed healthcare system. There’s a delightful, Daria-inspired, accompanying music video, animated by Mary Houlihan, released this week.

Bop your head to the song and music video here (and, in case it wasn’t clear, get into everything that Ziwe does and watch Baited on Thurs. 5PM PT/8PM ET @ziwef on Instagram)

You’ve got a love a stand-up show hosted by a robot built from cardboard scraps in a punk venue that you can only enter through an alley.

Also, we think the line-up for this latest edition of Humans! this week is pretty grand as well.

If you want a mix of club music done up with an absurdist flair, might we suggest attending Club Comic @ The Virgil from Brooklyn’s Sam Taggart this Friday night. Sam will give you, we’re betting, the most unforgettable “club experience” you’ve ever had.

Also, special guests John Early, Naomi Ekperigin, and Mary Houlihan will be the cherries on top of the night.

Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at door. You can (and should) get them ahead of time here.

While it’s certainly unbelievable that there would be undecided voters in this election, they do exist.

Above Average wanted to get “their story” and see what has them so internally conflicted on choosing between Hillary and Trump.

Well, they “found” some undecided voters and made this video profile of them that really shows why they can’t decide.
