Pick of the Day: 2023 Vulture Festival (in LA) 11/12 & 11/13

October 17, 2023
News
adam pally, cord jefferson, los angeles comedy, matt rogers, vulture, vulture festival, weird al yankovic

November is approaching fast, which means Vulture is coming to LA. Thankfully, that’s not anything resembling the CA state bird, the California Condor, circling its prey. Instead, it’s a highly curated gathering of the most chic happenings possible via NY Magazine’s cool arm (including a live Comedians You Should & Will Know showcase).

Vulture Festival is coming back to Hollywood once again on Sat. Nov. 12th and Sun. 13th, but taking over a new location, nya Studios, which actually puts its squarely in the “Netflix Valley” of Hollywood (which means you’ll probably still see a picket line if the SAG-AFTRA strike isn’t over in another month).

So far, they’ve announced:

Weird Al Superlatives Live!

Matt Rogers Holiday Spectacular Sing-a-Long Extravaganza (Album Version)

A Big Long Talk With Cord Jefferson (writer/director of what will likely be the end of the year comedy hit, American Fiction)

An Intimate Evening with Adam Pally

That’s just a taste of what’s to come.

Tickets are only $25-$30 per show and you can (and very much should) go snag tix here, before they sell out (Vulture tends to sell out their events).

TCB Debriefing 10/10/23: Joe Pera, Kiss Me Kosher Postponed, WGA Ratified, Matt Rogers Tour, The Thin Man, Seinfeld, Garbage Pail Kids,

October 10, 2023

1. If you need a sense of peace, a sense of calm, some warmth, and a belief in humanity all delivered in the form of a comedy special, please look no further than Joe Pera’s brand new hour special Slow & Steady. Akin to pretty much everything Joe does, Pera shows a beautiful side to comedy that comes from a place of simplicity and a certain sense of worldly innocence as well as a cheeky self-awareness of his whole persona. Thankfully, Slow & Steady is streaming free on YouTube for you to enjoy over and over anytime you want.

2. Kiss Me Kosher, an irreverent rom com set in Tel-Aviv that has a secret Israeli/Palestinian romance has postponed its U.S. release (Deadline). Sadly, it’s probably going to be quite awhile before that sees a U.S./wider release.

3. The WGA overwhelmingly ratified their new contract with AMPTP (CNN) and thank goodness there is any sort of good news today at all.

4. Forget all your other holiday traditions because Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas? is going on tour in celebration of the Have You Heard of Christmas? album (which should be an instant holiday classic). Go get tickets here immediately because they’ll probably be sold out by the time the holiday season starts.

5. Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt’s production banners are in cahoots to remake the comedy classic The Thin Man (Variety). No word on casting, but we would be fine with a sort of Babylon reunion with Robbie and Pitt sharing top billing.

6. Jerry Seinfeld says something might be happening regarding the end of legendary eponymous sitcom Seinfeld (EW). Details are scarce beyond that, but maybe this will provide enough mishegoss to guarantee another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm as well.

7. There was an adaptation of cult favorite card series, The Garbage Pail Kids, with the likes of David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, and Josh Bycel in the works. With the WGA side of the strike over, the project appears to still be alive (Deadline). Keep the fingers crossed that it survives the other side of the strike.

8. We’ll leave you with this: now is a great reminder that the equation “tragedy + time = comedy” is true for bother audiences and the comedians.

Just Watch Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas? on Repeat Instead of a Yule Log Over and Over

December 24, 2022
News
comedy special, have you heard of christmas, holiday special, matt rogers, showtime

Let’s face it, both real and looped videos of yule logs are a thing of the past. Even with the nostalgia that’s deeply baked into the holiday season, the creation of meta “yule logs” is, perhaps, a sign we need a new thing to play over and over on Christmas (and going back to A Christmas Story or Elf might not work either).

With that in mind, there’s a new Christmas special, a comedy one at that, done up exquisitely by Matt Rogers, (after performing it annually on stages for years) gleefully titled Have You Heard of Christmas?. It’s equal parts subversive and reverent when it comes to being a holiday special and Rogers showing off his golden pipes is a lavish frosting on top of it all.

Rogers dissects the entire cottage industry that is big time actors and pop stars doing holiday specials with a scripted narrative arc shot separately from the live special (featuring great cameos from Jo Firestone and Pat Regan), then revels merrily in his disruptive riffs and takes on your time honored Christmas themes, stories, traditions for a raucous live crowd. Matt’s witty, self-aware panache does the whole special in such a marvelously satirical way that almost no one else can pull off.

So, for those reasons, make Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas? your choice to watch throughout Christmas Day and beyond (so long as you have access to Showtime and, maybe, no tiny children?).

Even though Turkey Day is just over a week away, plenty of folks, especially if you’re any sort of drug store, is already looking towards Christmas (mostly because Thanksgiving decorations aren’t really a popular thing/who buys cornucopias these days?).

With that in mind, one of the best Christmas comedy specials that will be coming, in a very crowded field of new holiday themed specials and movies, is, without a doubt, Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas? Rogers’ long-standing annual tradition of a snappy, subversive Christmas musical revue got wisely made into a special (with a bit of a narrative arc) by Showtime and you’re only going to have to wait until Dec. 2nd to be able to stream it on Showtime.

If you have been unfortunate to be able to get a ticket to Have You Heard of Christmas over the years because Matt sells those shows out whenever he does it, you can finally catch your first glimpse with the trailer for Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Chistmas? Get into the holiday spirit the right way by watching it here.

The World Will Finally Get to See Matt Rogers’ Have You Heard of Christmas? via Showtime

have you heard of christmas, matt rogers, showtime

(via Variety)

For years, Matt Rogers has been giving one of the best holiday gifts to audiences all over the country during the month of December, his holiday comedy musical revue, Have You Heard of Christmas?, that’s got as much panache and whip smart humor as it does Christmas cheer. We were lucky enough to catch it one year at the Hollywood Improv, long before COVID-19, and, despite us on the Grinch side of things when it comes to November/December, it was such an undeniable delight that we couldn’t help but alternate between cracking a huge smile and doubling over cackling.

Thankfully, millions of other folks (or however many people have a subscription to Showtime’s streaming service) will get to share in Matt Rogers’ amazing and hysterical version of a Christmas special. Rogers taped this Showtime special edition of Have You Heard of Christmas? at the revered stage at Joe’s Pub in NYC and roped in Las Culturistas host Bowen Yang as well as NYC comedy staples Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson into this queer-pop-Christmas spectacular.

If you’re very excited to receive such a present from Matt Rogers, you won’t even have to wait until Dec. 25th since the premiere date for Have You Heard of Chistmas? is Fri. Dec. 2nd.

Pick of the Day: Gayme Show (in LA) 11/16

To The Comedy Bureau’s faithful readers, you’re probably well acquainted with our love for Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers comedy game show masterpiece, GAYME SHOW! The testing of straight men’s knowledge of gay culture as adjudicated by Mizzoni and Rogers is amongst the most hysterical game shows we’ve ever seen (and deserved a bigger, better platform than Quibi) and we make sure to always let you know when and where it’s happening in LA and NYC.

Thus, we’re here to tell you that the latest Gayme Show is happening in LA next month, Wed. Nov. 16th at The Regent in DTLA at 7PM. Who the straights are that will be challenged have yet to be announced, but do not wait to get to see who they might be before you get tickets. It just might sell out before then.

Tickets are on sale for $30 here. Do. Not. Miss Out.

Pick of the Day: Matt Rogers Special Taping (in NYC) 8/27

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Matt Rogers‘ taping for his musical comedy special Have You Heard of Christmas?, accompanied by musical comedy wizard Henry Koperski, at Joe’s Pub is sold out (that includes the rehearsal from this past weekend). Rogers’ repertoire of holiday music might be the most fun holiday comedy numbers we’ve ever heard (and one of the only things we look forward to during the holidays for years now).

That said, life happens and, sometimes, tickets get released and you still get a chance to catch this Saturday’s tapings, 7PM and 9:30PM, at the legendary NYC venue, Joe’s Pub, in person. You’ll just have to obsessively check this page or @mattrogerstho on IG to see when they’re released because seeing this live will likely best any present you actually get in December.

Pick of the Day: Summer Girl Winter Boy: Greta Titelman and Matt Rogers (in LA) 8/5

greta titelman, hollywood improv, la comedy, matt rogers, stand up comedy

You’re well aware that it’s actually quite the rarity to see a legitimate hour set from a comedian while in LA or NYC. Stage time is such a scarce resource for an ever growing number of comedians that you should take the chance, if you can find it, to go watch someone do an hour rather than one of their handful of ten minute sets they’re doing around town.

For all the attitude, style, spunk, and wit that both Greta Titelman (Search Party) and Matt Rogers (I Love That For You, Fire Island) bring to the stage, you should really never miss a set of theirs. Lucky for LA, they’re co-headlining back to back at the one and only Hollywood Improv next month.

Mark down Fri. Aug. 5th at 8PM PT for having an evening on Melrose and watching Greta and Matt take over the Improv’s Main Room. Tickets are $25 (plus 2 item min.) and don’t be surprised if it sells out soon. Go get ’em here ASAP.

Before even acknowledging that its Pride Month, any time of the year is a great time of year to catch Sophie Santos‘ quest for queer dominance via her creation, The Lesbian Agenda. That said, it’s Pride and it’s an especially good time to go support great queer artists of every background, especially when it comes to live comedy.

The Lesbian Agenda has already taken over both coasts by firmly planting roots in NYC and LA, which is a pretty great start to cultural domination in the U.S.

In fact, there are upcoming dates for both cities with The Lesbian Agenda taking over The Bell House in Brooklyn on Mon. Jun. 13th and Dynasty Typewriter in LA on Tues. Jun. 28th, both at 7:30PM local time. Both have incredibly stacked, festival-worthy line-ups including:

It has been a long and winding road, though it absolutely shouldn’t be, for one of the absolutely, most delightful, hysterical comedy game shows around, GAYME SHOW! Before lockdown, they were ascending as they should be how fun hosts Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers made testing the extent, if any, of straight men’s queer knowledge and sensibilities. They got ordered to series, which they deserved, but it unfortunately happened at the now defunct Quibi (though you can and should watch it now for FREE on the Roku Channel).

Thankfully, both Dave and Matt have made it to this side of the pandemic as stellar as ever and are bringing back the classic, in-person experience of GAYME SHOW! to NYC at The Bell House. They’ve got two dates lined-up, Sun. Jun. 12th & Sat Jul. 22nd at 8PM ET. Though they don’t have the line-up yet, you really better buy your tickets up fast because they will absolutely sell out. Get tickets here and here respectively for $30 a pop.

Watch the Trailer for Joel Kim Booster’s Jane Austen-ish Queer Rom Com “Fire Island”

April 25, 2022
News
bowen yang, joel kim booster, margaret cho, matt rogers

We’re thrilled that Joel Kim Booster’s Fire Island is actually seeing the light of day on a big platform like Hulu. Originally, it was given a series order at Quibi and, well, Quibi is now the second newest joke reference for a failed streaming service thanks to CNN+ getting shuddered almost immediately.

The inception of the idea is a modern day, gay riff on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice and, from the looks of the trailer, Joel along with Bowen Yang, Margaret Cho, and many more, deliver on that idea to a tee. Plenty has been said about Billy Eichner’s Bros, but Fire Island is coming out Jun. 3rd, just a month or two earlier than Bros, and might deserve just as much attention/praise.

Go take the first look at Fire Island and see for yourself here.

Here’s Your First Look at Vanessa Bayer’s Home Shopping Dramedy “I Love That For You”

For those missing Vanessa Bayer on SNL and seeing her various characters where the veneer of their reality is starting to crack, you won’t have to reminisce about seeing her back on screen in the same spirit once again.

I Love That For You centers on Bayer as an aspiring, but incredibly green host of a home shopping network and what she ends up doing to achieve that dream of telling folks that various housewares just sold out. Created by Vanessa and Jeremy Beiler, this might go a little darker than Jennifer Lawrence in Joy, but have tender, humorous moments, especially with Molly Shannon playing an iconic home shopping network host that Bayer looks up to. Also, we’re pretty sure Matt Rogers is going to be a scene stealer in this series.

This is Showtime’s latest comedy series in the ever burgeoning streaming wars and, so far, this might have the makings of something that will make you not regret paying for another streaming service or get on board for another one.

Take a first gander at all of this for yourself at I Love That For You with the first official trailer here.

Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers made GAYME SHOW, hands down, one of the best comedy game shows ever. Straight men are challenged to see if they can become QUEEN OF THE STRAIGHTS via challenges and trivia of the gayest order.

This show was indeed so uproariously fun that it was made into an actual TV show via Quibi (and can be now found on Roku?), but with live comedy coming back, it’ll be happening in one of Brooklyn’s favorite comedy haunts, The Bell House. They’ve got two dates lined-up: Fri. Jun. 25th &  Jul. 2nd.

Note: this is an indoors event for vaccinated people only. You will have to show proof of vaccination and there will be no distancing for the show.

Both dates were sold out (and they didn’t even announce the cast/line-up yet), but tickets were added for 6/25 and we highly urge you to snag them at the nice price of $25 ASAP.

Since we’re already in the thick of the holiday season, the air is rife with various holiday staples like Jingle Bells or whatever Trans-Siberian Orchestra track has a hot guitar solo. May we suggest a deeper cut to add into your festive music rotation?

Try Matt Rogers’ “Hottest Female Up in Whoville”, a song that was “cut” from the film adaptation of The Grinch that speaks the truth of one of Whoville’s sultry residents, Martha May Whovier. Rogers performs it here, on top of a grand piano of course, with the brilliant Henry Koperski at the keys.

It may be your new favorite song to play throughout December from now on if you’re looking for something to really bring some actual spice to these weeks of what have largely become forced communal joy.

Please enjoy Rogers and Hottest Female Up In Whoville here.

People don't know @MariahCarey wrote "Where Are You Christmas?" from The Grinch. That was from the perspective of Cindy Lou Who. She also wrote this CUT SONG from the film, "Hottest Female Up In Whoville", from the POV of Martha May Whovier. Here's me and @HenryKoperski doing it. pic.twitter.com/8IsBpJgae9

We told you that there would be plenty of big time comedy benefit shows for the Georgia Runoffs and, lordy lordy, there sure are. This latest one is being put up by the one and only Padma Lakshmi that’s very explicit in this regard by being called, “Padma Puts on a Virtual Comedy Show for the Georgia Runoff Elections: An Evening to Benefit FairFight”.

Stacey Abrams’ FairFight was instrumental in registering voters and contributing to Biden’s 2020 Election win and will undoubtedly be crucial in the upcoming special Georgia Senate Runoffs.

So, they tapped Padma for a live benefit show and she, in turn, got one hell of a line-up that includes:

Hasan Minhaj, Phoebe Robinson, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Peretti, Kumail Nanjiani, Emily V.

Kamau Bell, Mitra Jouhari, Sydnee Washington, Marie Faustin, and Andy Cohen.

There will also be music from King Princess, Perfume Genius, Waxahatchee, Brittany Howard, Local Natives, Aloe Blacc, and Cautious Clay.

Lastly, the evening’s virtual festivities will be hosted by none other than the Las Culturistas themselves, Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

Reads like a festival line-up, doesn’t it? Well, we still can’t do that in person right now, but you can enjoy this gigantic Padma Puts on a Virtual Comedy Show comedy live-stream on Thurs. Dec. 17th at 6PM PT/9PM ET at youtube.com/padmalakshmi and donate to FairFight here.
