June 25, 2021
News

One of LA’s most treasured venues when it comes to comedy is the Largo at the Coronet Theatre. It was home to a big handful of the best and biggest acts in LA that wanted to play a special sort of intimate crowd. Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Ben Schwartz/Thomas Middleditch, etc. etc. all played here regularly.
Then, for the pandemic, Largo had to close its doors like every other venue in town and its fate seem to hang in the balance of however long they would have to keep it dark. Thankfully, Conan O’Brien and Team Coco opted to tape the last leg of Conan at Largo and now the venue is set to reopen its doors with the same sort of very special, very intimate, exclusive performances that they’re renowned for.
Thus far, their schedule is as follows:
July 9 – Anthony Jeselnik and Enemies
July 10 – Ben Schwartz. Friends. Improv.
July 11 – Patton Oswalt and Friends
July 12 – Margaret Cho and Friends (with Atsuko Okatsuka & Demitri Martin)
July 13 – Pete Holmes: Living At Largo (with special guests Reggie Watts, Lara Beitz, and more!)
July 14 – An Evening with Fortune Feimster and Tom Papa (with special guest Bill Burr)
July 15 – Fred Armisen and Friends
July 16 – Chelsea Peretti and Friends
Tickets go on sale for all of these shows on Monday, Jun. 28th at 10AM PT and you best make a reminder as they will very likely sell out very fast like they used to in the before times.

We saw The Crossword Show last year and are still floored by Zach Sherwin showcasing his command of language and how to twist, turn, and manipulate it all for comedic effect (it made our 100 Best list).

Basically, Zach, his guests, and the audience do an entire crossword puzzle together that’s filled with jokes, factoids, etc. and they are all thematically tied together no matter how disparate the clues and answers might seem.

This latest edition will be on Wed. Mar. 13th 8PM at Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth Theater he’ll be joined by a panel of Lisa Loeb, Pete Holmes, and Nicole Holliday (an actual linguistics professor) in case that furthers entices you.

Tickets are $10 in adv. and $15 on the day of the show. So, go get them here ASAP.

Already, Nate Fernald has been given a hard pass by James Corden for The Nate Nate Show, a talk show made within the halls and rooms of The Late Late Show with James Corden, after its first episode.

However, every innovator worth a damn has always been beset with rejection on their path to the top.

With that in mind, Nate Fernald pushed forward and (as covertly as possible) made the second episode of The Nate Nate Show.

TJ Miller, Hannibal Buress, Pete Holmes, Cameron Esposito, and so many more of your favorite comedians these days cut their teeth in comedy in Chicago and specifically did so at a place known as The Lincoln Lodge.

HBO Orders Pete Holmes’ “Crashing” to Series, Executive Produced by Judd Apatow

(via Deadline)

HBO isn’t going without a Judd Apatow-produced series on their line-up.

Pete Holmes will indeed be returning to TV, this time with a single camera comedy based on his life rather than a talk show. Crashing will follow the portion of his life following his divorce where he crashed on comedians’ couches around NYC. Fans of Holmes’ podcast You Made It Weird should be more than familiar with the subject.

Holmes created the show and will star and Judd Apatow directed the pilot and is on board as an executive producer.

This counts as three series that Judd will be overseeing this year, the other ones being the upcoming Love at Netflix and Girls, which will be coming to a close in the not so distant future.

HBO Orders Pete Holmes Comedy Pilot “Crashing” To Be Directed and Produced by Judd Apatow

(via Deadline)

We knew it was only a matter of time before Pete Holmes got another show.

Pete Holmes has written a pilot about the time in his life where he just gotten divorced and was crashing on a couch of comedian friends, hence the title. 

You’ve probably heard plenty about this on Pete’s podcast You Made It Weird, but seeing it actually played out on a sitcom is very intriguing. 

It would seem more than probably that Pete would have all his friends on the show, which would mean we’d all get to see Kumail Nanjiani on yet another premium cable show.

Comedy Central’s latest web series, Nothin’s Easy, comes from the mind of one David Angelo. 

In this series, you get to watch David show how no matter where you’re at in life, there are always going to be obstacles of some kind like trying to buy commercialized weed…

…or avoiding funding causes you don’t believe in…

…or the quality of your therapy off of Obamacare or trying to buy commercialized weed.

Whether you think those are obstacles that would really be considered taxing on a person or not, it’s still really fun to watch David Angelo go through them.
