The hilarious Ron Funches doesn’t have time for a full hour talk show. In fact he doesn’t even the patience for a 15 min. talk show. Night Night with Ron Funches at Funny or Die is going for sub 5 minutes.
Watch how Ron does a monologue, guests, and more in less time than you spend at many stoplights.
Variety Picks 10 Comics to Watch for 2014
Ron Funches, Cristela Alonzo, Pete Davidson, Fortune Feimster, Nathan Fielder, Grace Helbig, The Lucas Brothers, Greg Poehler, Lena Waithe, and Harvard Sailing Team are Variety’s picks this year for what to watch in comedy.
Congratulations to all these folks and, like the list suggests, you can currently (or very soon) watch many of these acts on TV or, in Funches case, the side of many buses.
Cast of NBC’s Undateable (Ron Funches, Chris D’Elia, Brent Morin, Rick Glassman) Going on Tour
Whether it’s in promotion of the upcoming sitcom Undateable at NBC or just touring for the hell of it, Ron Funches, Chris D’Elia, Brent Morin, and Rick Glassman going to tell jokes around the country with series co-creator Bill Lawrence hosting is something you should probably catch.
Cities, dates, and their respective tickets at the link.
Nikki Glaser, Nate Bargatze, Dan Soder, Matt Braunger, Aparna Nancherla, and Ron Funches serve some up of our favorite clips of “@midnight with Chris Hardwick” this week.
Watch them play games involving bad online product reviews, #sexyvideogames, and delving into the weirder end of OkCupid. It’s a pretty nice way to spend a few minutes for your President’s Day this year.
If you don’t know Ron Funches, then we envy how magical the next 5 minutes will be watching him for the first time in this return appearance on Conan from last night.
After, that you can watch his first great set and also be amazed/doubled over laughing.
The Pete Holmes Show is still currently on hiatus, but the magic from an interview/hang out between Pete Holmes and Ron Funches will, at the very least, make today or whatever day you watch this pretty great.
Watch the interview and feel better about things in general.
Watch Tapings of Comedy Central’s @midnight with Chris Hardwick
In case you were wondering, tapings of the highly anticipated @midnight at Comedy Central will be taking place in LA at Hollywood Center Studios starting tonight, then taping 4 nights a week.
You can get free tickets to a taping at the link, which is a thing we highly recommend that you do to see the likes of Mike Lawrence, Jackie Kashian, James Adomian, Andy Daly, Kyle Kinane, Tom Lennon, Kurt Braunohler, Ron Funches, Eugene Mirman, Natasha Leggero, Megan Neuringer, and more see who has the funniest take on the Internet that day/night.
If you’re going to Comic Con, you might need a guide to cosplay (dressing up in costumes for the uninitiated) and possibly a guide to specifically black cosplay.
Luckily, Ron Funches gives us a handy dandy tour through black cosplay characters to choose from.
As a video game enthusiasts, comedian David Cope thought it would be a great idea to start his own video game review web series. Though, having a bunch of guest comedians has made “Call of The Blade” about more than just Bioshock Infinite or what have you.
Give this episode with the very funny Ron Funches a watch and you’ll see what we’re talking about and laugh.
The Nerdist Podcast Just Dropped Their Annual Stand-Up Cluster
Once a year, The Nerdist Podcast gathers their favorite comedians under the roof of the back room of Meltdown Comics AKA The Nerdmelt Showroom to put together a podcast stand-up comedy special. In this edition, the comedic stylings of Aparna Nancherla, Ron Funches, Ryan Singer, Mark Little, and more are put on display for all your enjoyment.
Definitely take a listen to this.
Ron Funches Cast in NBC Pilot ‘Undateable’
Hopefully, America will get to know the wondrous low key hilarity, and it is wondrous, of Ron Funches if this gets picked up.

7) Last night, we went to the vintage video game arcade Ground Kontrol for the first edition of Ron Funches’ No Pun Intendo and to show you how packed it was, the picture below was literally the best picture we could take of Mike Drucker killing it and dispatching a heckler wearing an Effin Vodka shirt (at a vintage video game arcade no less).
Most amazing part to us was that hipsters wanted to see the show, believed in comedy so much that they stopped playing X-Men to watch comedy.
