Comedy Central’s Review with Forrest MacNeil got a submission for a review that simply read “there all is aching”. Of course, Forrest (Andy Daly) doesn’t turn anything down and thus went forward with reviewing whatever he thought “there all is aching”

Forrest finds something he wasn’t expecting with this review. Watch here.

We certainly hope you’re watching Review on Comedy Central, one of the best new shows this year. 

If not, watch Andy Daly as Forrest MacNeil review divorce and eating 30 pancakes (twice the number of the first time he “reviewed” binge eating pancakes), then you shouldn’t be sufficiently hooked to catch it every Thurs. 10PM.

Tonight’s Episode of Conan Has Jeff Garlin, Andy Daly, and Todd Barry

It’s rare that a late night talk show these days has a line-up full of comedians, almost similar to how long it takes for planets to align.

Yet, tonight’s Conan on TBS features, as mentioned above, Jeff Garlin, Andy Daly, and Todd Barry all in the same hour. In short, it should be a whole bunch of fun on top of the whole bunch of fun that Conan already is.

Don’t miss it. TBS 11PM.

Andy Daly’s “Review” Coming to Comedy Central in 2014

There were a lot of really intriguing projects that were on this year’s development slate over at Comedy Central such as Andy Daly’s Review show where he’ll review kind of anything. 

Don’t worry if you were thinking it wasn’t going to air; just know that you’ll have to wait until next year for that to happen (OK, stop making that face–if you can wait until 2014 for a new season of Louie, you can wait a few more months for this).

5 Sentence Review: Sean Green’s “The Whiskey Dick”

January 31, 2012
Uncategorized
comedy album, review, whiskey dick

1. As it was recorded live in a bar in Sean Green’s hometown Philadelphia, PA, “The Whiskey Dick” is a great example of what a battle stand-up comedy is and how a funny comedian can win against a rowdy crowd.

2. Normally, when comedians talk about pop culture and sports, their jokes are often forced, rote, and predictable, but such is not the case with Green, who regularly makes fun of the two on his podcast, the Green Room Show.

Sean Green : Sean Green the Whiskey Dick

3. Even though there is a good few minutes of Sean trying to shut everyone up, there is a specific inclusion of him dealing with hecklers that’s pretty great.

4. The youth of Green, which, arguably, he is still working through, provides for hysterical run-ins with the law and getting turned down by a Quiznos despite working at Quiznos.

5. If you need an explanation of the last track which isn’t stand-up or a sketch, but an explanation of sorts, tweet at Sean @greenroomshow.

You can buy or download “The Whiskey Dick” now at CD Baby.

Hamclown: The One Type of Clown I Like

What exactly is a “Hamclown”?  I was one of those silent many that had an aversion to clown, but Hamclown is something different altogether and certainly not to be feared by anybody.

If you type “hamclown” into Google, you’ll actually get redirected to results for “ham clown” and never see any of the results for the amazing comedy and music variety show taking place in downtown LA on 5th and Spring.

Instead, you’ll first be directed to hamsexy.com, which, as far as I can gather, is a blog about amateur radio.  Even though hamsexy.com has been around for much longer than Hamclown, the results for googling “hamclown” need to change.

On the last Thursday of every month, producers and talented stand-up comedians themselves Josh Androsky and Grant Pardee take over the 2nd Floor of the Alexandria Hotel, more commonly known as the Mezz.  Their comedy extravaganza features several of LA’s best stand-ups, Kyle Kinane, Rory Scovel, Brody Stevens, Maria Bamford, and more, sketch comedy that borders on a full scale stage production, and amazing local bands to close out the show.

Really, Hamclown goes above and beyond for laughter from their constantly growing audience. At the last edition of Hamclown, Androsky and Pardee went for a prom theme, temporarily renaming their show “Hamprom”, dressing up as if it was actually prom; Androsky wore a dress and heels.  They even had a prom photographer with a prom backdrop.  As if that wasn’t enough, Androsky went into a spectacular musical number while still in a dress and heels featuring back-up dancers and lots of goo in which he let out his inner woman and then wooed the “hot high school quarterback” (played by Aaron Alberstein).  

I would almost say that you get your bang for your buck at Hamclown, but that would be a false statement as you don’t spend anything to see this youthful comedic romp in a cool bohemian space that has to have been used in several rock music videos of either Lenny Kravitz or Perry Farrell.  It’s free of charge just like many independently produced comedys shows around LA are, but, already, Hamclown has been mentioned in the LA Times as part of a story about the exciting group of comedy shows taking place in Downtown.

If you’re convinced or curious, the next Hamclown is taking place tomorrow 9PM, as mentioned, at the Mezz on the 2nd Floor of the Alexandria Hotel, 501 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, CA featuring two of the Comedy Bureau’s favorite comedians: Ron Lynch and Jackie Kashian.  In other words, be there (you won’t be square if you don’t, but you’ll regret your absence).  Follow them on Twitter and Facebook or check back at the Comedy Bureau for more updates and possibly what exactly a “hamclown” is other than a hip, hilarous comedy circus minus the animals and clowns (not a big fan of either anyway).

The Laugh Button: Review: Doug Stanhope “Oslo-Burning The Bridge To Nowhere”

The Laugh Button: Review: Doug Stanhope “Oslo-Burning The Bridge To Nowhere”

thelaughbutton:

If the thought of a comedian not yucking it up with jokes that please the masses makes you uncomfortable, then off the bat I will tell you Doug Stanhope’s new album Oslo-Burning The Bridge to Nowhere is not for you. Perhaps pick up some tickets for a Larry The Cable Guy show or Jeff Dunham…

How about that?  Something is both good and is actually as it was advertised.  Why I’d never thought I’d ever see the day… (this is how’d my review for the album would probably go, FYI).
