The Black Version, created by Jordan Black, remains as one of the longest running, most celebrated, best improv shows in the country. For the uninitiated, Black and his stellar cast of improvisers make the “Black Version” of a movie title suggested by the audience. This show has played Groundlings, Largo, and plenty of comedy festivals across the country, and is now going to have a very special, two night run in NYC at the newly formed Midnight Theatre (located right by MSG).

Joining Black will be the long time Black Version veterans including Daniele Gaither, Gary Anthony Williams, Nyima Funk, Phil Lamarr, Karen Maruyama, and Cedric Yarbrough.

This NYC run of The Black Version is set for Fri. Feb. 24th & Sat. Feb. 25th at both 7PM and 9:30PM. Tickets start at $40 and you better go snag ’em here.

OK, go ahead and get any and all Back to the Future puns out of your system so you can enjoy the good news that Futurama is being revived once more, this time at Hulu.

Hulu ordered up 20 episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s worthy younger sibling to The Simpsons with the voices of Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman all coming back. This will be the 11th season of the show when it premieres next year.

In regards to this revival of the series, which, given that we kind of live in a future we imagined here in 2022, feel so timely, Cohen commented, “I’m thrilled to have another chance to think about the future… or really anything other than the present.” Groening added, “It’s a true honor to announce the triumphant return of Futurama one more time before we get canceled abruptly again.”

So, get out your Fry “shut up and take my money” memes at the ready, especially if you don’t have a Hulu subscription.

Pick of the Day: Brighter Comedy (BIG SUNDAY Benefit)

If you can believe it (and we hope that you can because of how much we’ve got listed at our site), there is still plenty of comedy going on and lots of shows are raising money for great causes that are so deserving of your support.

One such event is happening this weekend called Brighter! It’ll be an atypical talk show that features Mickey and Robin Bright (Dannah Phirman, Seth Morris) who are divorcing while in quarantine and getting in touch with the likes of Maria Bamford, Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas, Kate Micucci, Phil LaMarr, Carl Tart, Betsy Sodaro and more playing their neighbors in their “artist commune apartment building” to check-in/get advice to cheer up, especially given their situation. For those missing the sort of fare you’d get to see at UCB in the before times, this might be what you’re looking for.

The show will be in support of BIG SUNDAY, a Los Angeles-based non-profit, organizing free meal delivery for doctors, nurses and staffers who work in the ER in LA. Anyone can watch the show, but they will be taking donations.

Brighter! will be streaming live this Saturday Apr. 11th at 6PM PT at www.brightercomedy.com.

There’s plenty to enjoy here as Chris Hardwick is a “podcast super villain”, an additional storyline about a classic show trying to live on in a podcast, and, of course, plenty of fake future ads.

Listen in here.
