The wires between comedy and horror get marvelously crossed more and more these days to produce some great, out-of-left field movies and TV shows (just think of a good fifth of what Adult Swim puts out). Another entry into this burgeoning hybrid genre is the upcoming indie film, Too Late.

This particular film from D.W. Thomas actually takes the intersection of comedy and horror quite literally as the story is set in the LA comedy scene coupled with a dark, evil presence nestled deep within it. Beloved LA venue Dynasty Typewriter is prominently featured as our so many LA comedy staples including stars Alyssa Limperis and Ron Lynch (who seems to be playing an insidious alternate version of himself/host of the famed Tomorrow! w/Ron Lynch) as well as supporting cast Will Weldon, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Fred Armisen, Jenny Zigrino, and Brooks Wheelan.

See what Thomas has cooked up with the trailer for Too Late here, then look for its release on Fri. Jun. 25th.

Seeso Orders 6th Season of JFL’s “Funny as Hell”

(via Deadline)

You’ll be treated to the stand-up of Cameron Esposito, Eugene Mirman, Janeane Garofalo, Beth Stelling, Aparna Nancherla, Kurt Metzger, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Liza Treyger, the Lucas Brothers, Byron Bowers, Sean Patton, Sam Morril, James Davis, Ian Abramson, Sean Donnelly, Thomas Dale, Ahmed Bharoocha and Emo Philips.

Part of a great comedy cultural exchange between the U.S. and Canada comes around during the JFL Montreal Comedy Festival when JFL also shoots their stand-up showcase series, Funny as Hell.

As past episodes have been streamed plenty on Seeso, Seeso has opted to make the series more known in the States, especially because of its heavy use of U.S. talent, to order a sixth season that’ll offered on NBC’s comedy streaming service.

There will be more names that’ll be added to the series during the festival, but that line-up alone is reason enough to go watch it.

Fahim Anwar has climbed his way up the stand-up comedy ladder over the last few years, getting to the point of getting to do stand-up on late night regularly.

At this point, Fahim also wants to bring his alter ego, the dance crazed Lance Cantstopolis to where he is. Already, he has gone on stage, fully in character, denim, dancing, and all, and has done pretty well for himself. Just look at the documentary, Outta Nowhere, Fahim made for Lance that has Jeff Ross, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Bobby Lee, Chris D’Elia, and Neal Brennan all talking him up.

Watch and judge for yourself how close Lance and Fahim really are.

Before you knew her as Chloe O’Brian from 24, Mary Lynn Rajskub was on stage as a stand-up comedian. In fact, any time she has had away from the show over the years, she has stepped back up to the mic.

So, we’re not surprised to see her on The Tonight Show do a stand-up set last night rather than not sitting on the couch and chatting with Jimmy or winning puppies from a quiz.

As cute as puppies can be, we prefer this much more.

(via Deadline)

Just like Netflix has upped their content orders for next years, Amazon is smartly following suit.

Today, Amazon boosted up their upcoming comedy offering by not only renewing their 80s coming-of-age comedy, Red Oaks, from David Gordon Green, but ordered three of their comedy pilots to series.

One, Highston, has Chris Parnell and Marry Lynn Rajskub as parents to a kid played by Lewis Pullman who has celebrity friends that only he can see. The second one, One Mississippi is the high profile dramedy series based on the life of Tig Notaro with involvement from Louis C.K. and Diablo Cody. The third and final series ordered today was, Z: The Beginning of Everything, a comedy based on the whirlwind-turned-tornado of a romance between Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald and legendary author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Christina Ricci is set to lead and the series is written by Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin, both from The Killing, and directed by Tim Blake Nelson that you probably saw years ago in O Brother, Where Art Thou?

All in all, this new batch of comedy series that Amazon has will be very intriguing to see in how it stacks up to releases from Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services.
