While NYC is having it’s big ol’ New York Comedy Festival, LA isn’t just quietly having another week of the same (albeit, partially open) exciting comedy happening either.

The Vulture Festival is set to return to the Hollywood Roosevelt for an in-person edition on Saturday Nov. 13th and Sunday Nov. 14th. Vulture always assembles some of the most fun, curious, astounding panels and events for their LA based fest and this year is no different.

Just from this initial line-up announcement, there will be a “pre-union for Insecure, Mira Sorvino watching along with a screening of Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion, a panel for The Great, and an hour of Niecy Nash’s time. Of course, there will be way more announced (probably a showcase of their annual, high profile Comedians You Should and Will Know list?)

For now, you can get tickets and more info at vulturefestival.com. If you’re already all in for this, you can snag a festival pass for $300.

Crime shows, both true and fictional, have never been as big as they are now.

So, TNT, which primarily has operated a drama channel that’s chock full of scripted hour long series following detectives, criminal families, etc. is now getting into some true crime comedy.

Their new series debuting this Summer, Claws, shows a lot of promise, almost a darker version of Weeds, set in the world of nail salons with Niecy Nash as the star. Also, we’re excited that the creator, Eliot Laurence, is the writer of the under appreciated, Welcome to Me.

Watch the trailer here, then look for the series premiere on Sunday, June 11th on TNT.

Kate McKinnon, Tracee Ellis Ross, Samantha Bee, Niecy Nash, and Allison Janney Sound Off on “Why Men Aren’t Funny”

This is a nice counterpoint to that infamous, inflammatory, and completely unnecessary Christopher Hitchens essay from 2007 voiced by some of the most notable funny people around today that just happen to be women.

Sure, 2007 was almost a decade ago and there has always been evidence against Hitchens, but it’s always fun to skewer his Why Women Aren’t Funny piece every once in awhile.
