new album – The Comedy Bureau

Morning Debriefing 7/24/11

1) Patton Oswalt’s Finest Hour is upon us… (specifically Sept. 20th). We heard him getting ready for it a few months ago and it’s a pretty apt title.

2) As the Hollywood Improv Lab has taken on a new identity as a comedy venue a few months ago (read more about that here), they deserve a new poster and they finally got one by Sean Barrett.

3) OH, so THERE IS an app for that? Futurama comes out with a “Head-in-a-Jar Creator”.

4) If you haven’t checked out the Opinion section of Laughspin.com, please do because we wrote a lot of it.

5) Don Rickles makes another appearance on TV tomorrow on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (12:35AM CBS). The idea of Rickles trying to play the mouth organ should be more than enough to make you set your DVRs.

6) Oh yeah, the 1st episode of the 2nd Season of Louie is on Hulu. We’re sure plenty of you watched it, but some ~~people~~ businesses can’t afford basic cable in their ~~home~~ office.

1) Norm MacDonald’s new hour long Comedy Central Special has moved from this weekend to Saturday March 26th at 11:30PM. This should make up for Charlie Sheen stealing Norm’s Twitter thunder.

2) Comedian Eric Andre on Lopez Tonight.

3) The Nerdist Theater at Meltdown Comics… WHAT?!? Follow @nerdmelt down the comedy nerd rabbit hole to see some of the best comedy shows in LA.

4) Comedian Jesse Case explores the future of indie/alt comedy via what happened indie/alt music. READ IT. IT’S GOOD FOR YOU. [via Antithesis Comedy]

5) So all this Doug Stanhope buzz has recently come about because he’s releasing a new album called Oslo: Burning Bridges to Nowhere. Of course, this veritable wave of Stanhope is really all out-of-nowhere as it happened in Oslo and not anywhere near here, but hopefully the album’s release and distribution will change that.
