Comedy and Women’s Rec League Basketball have intersected like they have never have before at The Pistol Shrimps.

Many women in the LA comedy community have found common ground by joining in on the same basketball league including The Pistol Shrimps that could be a powerhouse comedy troupe if it wanted.

Ultimately, this makes the game way more fun to watch. Where else are rec league games watched by a packed house and have members of Superego do commentary?

A documentary of this whole world was made, did the festival circuit, and has gotten picked up to stream soon at Seeso.

Here’s a taste of what’s to come in this trailer.

Before you even start forming the question, you do not have to know sports to get into this. In fact, you don’t even have to be in attendance of the game that Matt and Mark are commentating on to enjoy it.

You’ve already probably heard about the LA based women’s basketball rec league that has gotten a lot of press from having The Pistol Shrimps (as well as the league’s dance squad, The LA City Municipal Dance Squad) that are filled with great comedy folks like Stephanie Allynne, Aubrey Plaza, and more.

Well, they now have a podcast of live in-game commentary, Pistol Shrimps Radio, done by two of the funniest people on podcasts/”venerable sports acknowledgers” Matt Gourley and Mark McConville who we’d hope you would know from the hysterical podcast Superego.

Here’s a whole episode on Soundcloud of what both sports fan and non-sports fan can enjoy so long as they both love absurdist comedic stylings.

They’re already ten episodes in, so listen, catch up, subscribe, etc.

So, a Pistol Shrimps sitcom?

Comedy Central has just bought a project centered on an underdog all-female basketball team from Amanda Lund, Maria Blasucci, and Angela Trimbur who will also star.

It wouldn’t surprise us at all if the series would basically follow the real life events of the LA female rec basketball team known as The Pistol Shrimps, which has a roster including Lund, Blasucci, Aubrey Plaza and Stephanie Allynne as well as a dance team led by Trimbur.

Drunk History’s Jeremy Konner and Jack Black are also involved with the project that has the potential to line-up quite nicely with Broad City and Inside Amy Schumer.
