The “Get Rich Nick” Podcast Both Investigates Actual Ideas to Get Money Quick and Is Delightful Along the Way

September 14, 2019

comedy podcasts, earwolf, get rich nick, nick turner, nick vatterott

Nick Vatterott and Nick Turner, both mastered in their on-stage silliness as comedians, take a serious turn, albeit a slight one, for their new podcast Get Rich Nick.

Each episode has both Nicks legitimately try out different methods of making money real quick, taking whatever consequences and mishaps come along their way (so you don’t have to!). Throughout, Nick and Nick maintain a level of goofiness to have Get Rich Nick be funny while discovering something like donating plasma isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Other episodes cover betting on racehorses and doing TaskRabbit and have been very enjoyable journeys thus far.

They’re just a few episodes in, but Get Rich Nick is definitely worth an early subscribe. Please do so here or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

The passing of Kevin Barnett came out of nowhere and was a shock to family, friends, and fans alike. As such, a gigantic, stupendous benefit (as you can see in the flyer above) for Kevin’s family will be held this coming Tuesday at the Echoplex.

Tickets are only $10 and all proceeds will be going to Kevin’s family. Go get them here before they probably sell out.

Also, you can support Kevin’s GoFundMe too.

Watch Nick Turner Die a Bunch of Times After Waking Up from a Coma in “Ya Killin’ Me”

October 25, 2017

Waking up from a coma can be so jarring, especially if you’ve been under for an extended period of time.

Nick Turner takes this idea repeatedly to the nth degree by imagining the worst outcome of waking up from an aforementioned coma in the Comedy Central digital series, Ya Killin’ Me. Thankfully, it’s done a darkly humorous way for all our enjoyment this Halloween season (or anytime really if you happen to love dark comedy like we do).

So, without further adieu, please watch and enjoy Ya Killin’ Me.

Martha Kelly and Nick Turner’s Half Hour Special Are Tonight

September 30, 2016

comedy central, comedy special, martha kelly, nick turner, stand up, the half hour

This week’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Half Hour features half hour stand-up specials from Nick Turner and Martha Kelly.

Specifically, it’ll be Martha’s special at 12AM and Nick’s at 12:30AM tonight on Comedy Central.

We’re not sure if this was done intentionally or not, but Nick’s preview clip deals with one dog and Martha’s deals with four cats and one dog. Is it forecasting a sort of raining cats and dogs jokes? Guess you’ll have to tune in tonight to find out.

Get Nick Turner’s Very Fun Debut Album “Yelling”

September 29, 2016

comedy album, nick turner, stand up, yelling

When it comes to comedians having their act feel tight, Nick Turner ranks pretty high on that list. What’s especially impressive about Nick’s stand-up being well-crafted is that he really doesn’t rely on one-liners, which does lend itself to that comedic efficiency more easily.

Instead, Turner has extended bits that feel loose, but have been carefully honed. Some of them jovially oscillate back and forth between truth and utter silliness and even in front of and behind the fourth wall. His debut album Yelling, preceding his upcoming half hour special on Comedy Central, is a great display of all of Turner’s comedic prowess at work.

The album comes out September 30th (that’s probably tomorrow if you’re reading this as soon as we posted it), but we say that you should go ahead and pre-order Yelling here.

The annual neighborhood-wide party known as Echo Park Rising will have plenty of music, but will also make sure to include plenty of comedy as well.

This weekend, Good Heroin will be running 3 nights at Stories Books & Cafe (1716 W. Sunset Blvd.), Party in the Back will kick off Saturday night at the New California Barbershop (2203 W. Sunset Blvd.), and Sauce (typically at Hollywood’s Desano’s Pizza) will serve up an Echo Park Rising edition of their show at the 826LA Time Travel Mart (1714 W. Sunset Blvd.) on Saturday as well at 8PM with Chris Fairbanks, Kate Willett, James Austin Johnson, David Gborie, Chris Estrada, Danielle Radford, and hosts Barbara Gray, Eric Dadourian, Erin Lampart, and Jeff Wattenhofer.

Oh yeah, all these are free to attend.

As The Name Suggests, “The Empire Biscuit Comedy Festival” Will Host a Comedy Festival at a Biscuit Shop

Though we had not thought of this question previously, it’s definitely worth asking now, “Wouldn’t three nights of live comedy and biscuits be lovely?”

Empire Biscuit in NYC, a dining establishment that pretty much deals in just biscuits, will try their hand at something way outside the biscuit wheelhouse by hosting three nights of a comedy festival.

With the line-up they’ve got, it looks like they’ll be having a pretty good time over those few days.

So far, at the Empire Biscuit Comedy Festival will be:

Liza Treyger
Alingon Mitra
Joe Pera
Mark Normand
Giulia Rozzi
Jo Firestone
Hadiyah Robinson
Jim Tews
Griffin Newman
Brett Davis
Josh Ruben
NANCY
Casey Jost
Livia Scott
Shakir Standley
Joe List
Ben Kronberg
Saurin Choksi
Nate Fernald
Calise Hawkins
Mike Drucker
Abbi Crutchfield
Mike Lawrence
Nick Vatterott
Matteo Lane
Hasan Minhaj
Jeffrey Joseph
Josh Gondelman
Andy Sandford
Joe Zimmerman
Nore Davis
Nick Turner
Mike Recine
Michelle Wolf
Myq Kaplan
Sasheer Zamata
Kevin Barnett
Seaton Smith
Sean Donnelly
Phoebe Robinson
Carmen Lynch
Aparna Nancherla

The festival goes from Sun. Aug. 2nd-Tues. Aug. 4th and you can and should, if you’re in NYC then, get your tickets here.

If There Was a Parody Fox News Panel Show Hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, It Might Be Jason Saenz’s “Foxworthy & Friends”

adam newman, chris gethard, fox news, jeff foxworthy, nate fernald, nick offerman, nick turner, panel show, parody, redneck

From the mind of Jason Saenz, comes a panel show that you might see on something like the Fox News Channel, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy and the “you might be a redneck” joke that will follow him forever.

On Foxworthy & Friends, he’ll have guests that aren’t his friends including Nick Offerman (played deftly by Frank Garcia Hejl)…

…Chris Gethard…

…Nate Fernald…

…Nick Turner…

…and Adam Newman.

For those of you that love when talk shows get out of hand, especially when the host has seem to lost a grip on things, you’ll dig Saenz as Foxworthy trying to shoehorn redneck into everything.

Watch Foxworthy and Friends here.

Joining Whitmer Thomas and Nick Turner in the Comedy Central pilot ‘Crazy House’ from Turner and Lee Rubenstein that just keeps getting better and better will be the hilarious Erik Charles Nielsen that we hope you’ve seen on Community or Conan.

Power Violence’s Whitmer Thomas Joins Comedy Central Pilot ‘Crazy House’

Comedy Central Orders Asylum Comedy Pilot From Nick Turner & Lee Rubenstein

Two very funny people in Nick Turner and Lee Rubenstein get a comedy pilot order from Comedy Central.

Yet, another good recent move (in addition to ordering a pilot of The Chris Gethard Show and renewing Adam DeVine’s House Party) by Comedy Central and we hope they keep it up.

Nick Turner, Pete Holmes and James Adomian Do a Reggie Watts Impression in Front of Him

Nick Turner, Pete Holmes and James Adomian Do a Reggie Watts Impression in Front of Him

Musical comedian Reggie Watts has been described as inimitable before, but leaves it to the likes of a hysterical trio composed of Nick Turner, Pete Holmes, and James Adomian to show Reggie how to do an impression of himself (not that Watts doesn’t already know how to do that).

Watch at the link.

If You Can’t Get the A-Team, Get the ‘Bro Help’ Team

barry rothbart, bro, doctor, henry zebrowski, nick turner, patient, sketch

The very funny Nick Turner, Barry Rothbart, Jason Saenz, and Henry Zebrowski make up brand spanking new sketch group Dr. Patient that just released their first sketch. If you’re a bro, through and through, and in need, you definitely won’t get the help of the A-Team, but you might just get some bro-help.

This is pretty damn funny, but also NSFW. Watch now.
