The one and only Drennon Davis is throwing both a birthday show and a benefit for the National Resource Defense Council. The line-up is beyond stacked with Ron Funches, Open Mike Eagle, Rory Scovel, Epic Lloyd and is happening at The Hollywood Improv Lab this Saturday, November 26th at 10PM.
Tickets are $10 and all the proceeds will be going to the NRDC.
One of the most revered weekly stand-up shows in the country, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, ended its 6 year run last month, which included three seasons as a TV series on Comedy Central.
Naturally, the 8:30PM slot at Nerdmelt where Meltdown took place was going to be filled in by something given Meltdown’s status as a flagship show at the theater.
In two weeks, you will all have a very exciting and worthy show filling in with Rabbit Hole with Jay Larson and Rory Scovel produced by Nerdmelt’s Caitlin Durante. Larson and Scovel are two of our favorites and this show will be in good hands as you can see with our thoughts on Jay’s recent album Human Math and Scovel’s latest Conan set.
In the inaugural show, Kate Berlant, Todd Glass, Bridey Elliott, Joe Mande, Baron Vaughn, and a surprise guest will be performing. It should go without saying that it’ll be a hell of a show and something that will get us all through the next few years and beyond.
Tickets are $10 and are available now here.
You can keep up with Rabbit Hole on @therabbitholela on Twitter, @therabbitholela on Instagram, and on Facebook.
Rory Scovel has a history of making the most of his televised stand-up performances.
On Conan alone, he’s done a set at the same time as Jon Dore, affected a Southern accent, and had a Liberace piano play in the background while in a tuxedo.
So, in this latest stand-up set on Conan, what could Rory do that would top all of that?
Well, watch, see, and, per usual, be amazed while laughing from your gut.
Comedian/actor/meta-humor performance artist Moses Storm is getting a night at Nerdmelt where he’ll do whatever the hell he wants as well as having Rory Scovel, Jerrod Carmichael, and Jak Knight tag along with him.
Tickets are free and you can (and should) RSVP for them here.

If you’ve had a fictional diner conversation imagined between Jay Larson, Rory Scovel, and Al Madrigal on the subject of a significant other’s ex-boyfriend, we’re guessing it might be something like the latest short of Larson’s Diner series.
You are spending your free time imagining such things, right?
Comedian/storyteller/writer/filmmaker Jay Larson is getting pretty good at doing these ‘slice of life’ short films.
We already enjoyed “Weekend Getaway” featuring himself, Rory Scovel, and Al Madrigal.
Now, Jay’s got another one with the same cast, “Even funerals can be a Happy time.”
When we used “one hell of a…” in the headline, we didn’t mean that in a good way.
Those Who Can’t’s latest episode has all of the teachers being forced into going to prom to make up for the utter disaster that it was last year.
Of course, this prom that’s in the works doesn’t seem much better at all since they’re more concerned with their dates than the actual running of the prom meant for the students.
Performance Anxiety celebrates its 5 year anniversary as a comedy show inside an adult toy store.

The literally game changing halftime speech is a requirement for all sports movie.
When it comes to a satirical series following HS teachers barely getting by, the halftime speech probably doesn’t get a team riled up at all.
Watch such a speech from Those Who Can’t’s Andy Fairbell.

All of the above and more will be present and performing at SXSW in Austin, TX starting Fri. Mar. 11th.
If this peaks your interest (and we’re guessing that it does), you can register for a badge here.
The Grawlix (Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl, and Ben Roy) plus Rory Scovel and Maria Thayer really do make for a great ensemble cast for TruTV’s latest and greatest series, Those Who Can’t.
See for yourself in this featurette. then tune into the premiere on Thurs. Feb. 11th.
You can get in on the experiment here.
Comedy specials from Rory Scovel and Matt Besser, Kids in the Hall, SNL, Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, Before the Morning After, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, 30 Rock, The Office, The World of Alan Partridge, Funny as Hell, Brazil, Fletch, Monty Python (series and films), The UCB Show, and oh so much more are now available at the convenience of some keystrokes, some clicking, and $3.99 a month now that Seeso, NBC’s exclusive comedy streaming service has officially launched.
In case you weren’t already enticed, you can sign-up for Seeso here.
We’ll keep saying it because we can’t really emphasize the point quite enough: Rory Scovel is one of the best stand-up comedians working today.
That’s why a) you should watch this set and interview from last night’s Conan where he killed and b) you should get Seeso, so you can watch his hour special, The Charleston Special, that just started streaming on the new NBC comedy streaming service .
I have a special coming out on @SeesoTV on Jan 7. Check it out!
Simply, Rory Scovel is one of the brilliant comedians working today. The coming of his long awaited hour special is a date you should mark on your calendar and a reason to get NBC’s comedy streaming service Seeso.
The special is set for a Jan. 7th release, which just happens to be the final day of Seeso’s free beta trial.
(via Deadline)
Seeso is really making up for all that lost time on NBC’s comedy slate over the last couple of years.
Just in its beta stage right now, you already know that Seeso has a lot to offer even though they’re just getting started.
Now, they’ve gotten an official launch date: Thurs. Jan. 7th.
In addition to their vast array of offerings, they’ll adding a bunch of original content including a show called Before the Morning After where comics like Greg Proops, Jena Friedman, and Alex Edelman will riff at a diner, the long awaited hour stand-up special from Rory Scovel, Matt Besser breaking ridiculous records on Besser Breaks the Record, live variety and stand-up shows The UCB Show and Live From The Barrel House, an animated comedy The Cyanide & Happiness Show, an Australian musical comedy series with puppets, Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane, and a modern dating game show, Dave & Ethan: Lovemakers.
With other shows from Jonah Ray, Cameron Esposito & Rhea Butcher, Dan Harmon, Thomas Lennon/Robert Ben Garant/Kulap Vilaysack, and more also on the way, Seeso is making the $3.99/month subscription fee sound worth it.
Just take a gander at that line-up for Atlanta’s Red Clay Festival.
If you’re in or around Atlanta, GA from Oct. 15th-17th, go should definitely get your tickets now.
According to our sources, there was, all of sudden, an empty slot to fill on the jam packed line-up at The Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival this past weekend. Live comedy has its own tent at the festival in San Francisco, which is why Ron Funches, Joe DeRosa, Drennon Davis, and Rory Scovel were there in the first place.
Yet, the four stepped up to fill the slot on the main stage apparently as the makeshift christian a capella group Ron Funches and The Five Footprints.
Watch these NSFW (or church for that matter) clips of what might be a literal once-in-a-lifetime performance.
All ads should be like this.
Rory Scovel once again lends his golden tough to another ad campaign, this time, with Nat Geo Wild’s SharkFest coming on Sun. Jul. 5th.
Watch it here, then let’s all get Rory to be this sort of spokesman for more stuff.
Healdsberg, CA will get to enjoy some of best spoils of LA comedy all in one go over a couple of days.

If you’re in or around Sonoma County, CA, put down the wine and get some at this 3rd Annual Smalltown Comedy Festival as well as enjoy some very fine comedy.
Make sure you refresh your memory with the original music video first.
As part of JASH’s $5K music video series, the amazing Kurt Braunohler got to direct the music video for Mikal Cronin’s new song “Turn Around”.
As the director, Kurt decided to do his own “shot-for-shot” version of the classic 90s music video for Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn”, but done with Mikal’s song instead.
The result was hilariously beautiful and features Kristen Schaal as Imbruglia, Paul Scheer, Rory Scovel, Jonah Ray, and other great randomness.
The latest tapings of Comedy Central’s are indeed set for next month on Sept 9th, 15th, and 16th at Cheetah’s Club and now, their line-ups have just been announced (and it’s going to be pretty damn good).

Well, Meltdown’s resident photographer Tyler Ross captured the whole bit of Scovel crowdsurfing including the build-up, which we assure you is every iota as great as you’d would hope it would be.
