Pick of the Day: In The Green Room

Often, the green room of a live comedy show is one of the best places to be, especially if you want that fly on the wall experience of comedians that are off-stage, but still sharp whilst riffing with their contemporaries.

Being stuck in quarantine, the idea of gathering is still a bit away from happening (even with just comedians). Yet, you can still get a bit of the green room experience this weekly starting this Thursday 4/30 with the In The Green Room live-stream.

Set to hang back in that proverbial/virtual green room is many of Avail Comedy‘s very best including

Comedians Include*
Chris Fairbanks
Gareth Reynolds
Greg Barris
James Fritz
Maggie Maye
Matt McCarthy
Megan Koester
Nick Flanagan
Paul Danke
Phoebe Bottoms
Ramin Nazer
Ryan Singer
Sara June

* based on quarantine availability

Rather than having the news on all day, it’d be much, much better to just hang with comedians hanging with other comedians. Tune in at youtube.com/availcomedy at 8PM PT/11PM

Ryan Singer’s Free Love, His Great New Album, Is Being Offered as “Free Love” (i.e. Free to Download)

October 12, 2018

comedy album, free, free love, ryan singer, stand up

It would seem as through comedian Ryan Singer has been and will forever be on a quest to simultaneously understand the connective tissue of the human experience and how we reconcile it with the infinite universe around us and make comedy about said quest for any and all.

His latest album, Free Love, is a notable milestone in said quest as Singer beautifully weaves through nuanced and spirited jokes about esoteric knowledge, singularity, and milkshakes. Ryan also keeps a good sense of self-awareness so it doesn’t seem like you’re going for the trippy ride that you’re going to go on (and will delight in) within this hour.

Perhaps, nicest of all, Ryan is living true to the title and offering up this album for FREE download. We say that you should take up Singer on his Free Love. Do so here.

Arguably, Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen is one of the best comedy shows in the country, maybe even the world. It has become a staple in both LA and NYC that’s pretty much sold to capacity every week well over a whole decade.

This 12th Anniversary of Hot Tub that’s happening tomorrow is actually sold out, but there will be a small number of tickets available at the door. Both Kurt and Kristen will do some of their classic sketches in addition to the killer line-up that they always have.

This Monday night, February 20th, doors will be open at 7PM at The Virgil (we’re guessing some might be lining up well before that), tickets will be at $8 at the door, and the show will start at 8PM.

Dave Ross & Ryan Singer’s Sketch Album “Three” Is Darkly Hysterical and Also Very NSFW

comedy album, dark comedy, dave ross, ryan singer, sketch, three

Often, inspiration come in the 11th hour and at the spur of the moment. Such is the case with Three, a sketch album from Dave Ross and Ryan Singer recorded in four hours after they were having dinner one random night.

Oddly enough, the sketches contained therein pretty much cover all the bases of what you’re not supposed to talk about at the dinner table, mostly sex and religion. Also, they seemingly improvise in such a ridiculous way that wouldn’t be kosher at any table, save for the one for the sketch group that Ross is in, Women.

The outright, ultra-blue absurdity of Three toes the line between being cringeworthy and the sort of comedy that breaks your brain for how farcical it is.

If you’re into really dark comedy, you might really get into Three (just probably don’t play it loud at work as we mentioned in the headline).

Oh, did we mention it’s free to stream and download?

Stand-up comedians Hampton Yount, Josh Sharp, Nick Rutherford, Greg Barris, Andrés Du Bouchet, Kiran Deol, Clare O’Kane, and more join host Ryan Singer and guest co-host Dave Waite in not only doing anything that isn’t stand-up, but getting delightfully weird about the whole affair.

Watch Comedian Ryan Singer Be Plastered and a Sober Brad Gage Drive Him Safely Home

brad gage, drunk driving, ryan singer

If you’ve never watched Drunk Driving with Brad Gage, it’s kind of like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee minus luxurious cars and coffee and/or breakfast/lunch plus comedians being very inebriated going home and sometimes picking up a drive-thru treat on the way.

This latest episode with Ryan Singer perfectly illustrates all of that. Watch it here.

Ryan Singer’s New Sketch Album “TWO” Out Now For Free

February 6, 2015

TWO available to download now for FREE https://t.co/pnTvYr9pVd please RT if you think someone may like this weird fun pic.twitter.com/0xNaXK0emN

When we were all obsessing over Katy Perry’s Super Bowl Sharks, Ryan Singer was hard at work in his, we think, comedy laboratory coming up with a new, short, but absurdly sweet album of audio sketches all by himself.

Called TWO, you can download it for free and we highly suggest you do that now right here.

Enter Your Comedy Short Into Ryan Singer’s “Flick My Clip”

The amazing Ryan Singer has been putting together, for years now, his own personal film festival of sorts by taking submissions and then showcasing them at various other festivals.

He calls it Flick My Clip and so long as you have a comedy short that’s under 5 min., has no copyrighted music, submitted by July 7th, hasn’t been previously submitted, then you should submit. So far, Flick My Clip will run at FilmDayton Festival and The Cincinnati Film Festival.

One Second of Audio From Every Day of Ryan Singer’s 2013

365, every day, ryan singer

Based off of some more life-affirming videos that featured a second of video of every day over one year, Ryan Singer attempted to showcase how great 2013 was with just the sound of it.

Watch and here the great result here (perhaps, NSFW?).

Marc Maron and Ryan Singer in Bob Dylan’s Interactive Music Video for Like a Rolling Stone

If you haven’t seen the new super interactive video for Bob Dylan’s classic Like a Rolling Stone, do yourself a favor and do go watch that now. Also, while flipping through the channels (that’s right, you can flip through channels in the same music video-it will all make sense when you go watch it) is a “channel” of Marc Maron seemingly taping an episode of WTF with guest Ryan Singer mouthing the words to the song.

If that isn’t enough for you, Drew Carey while on the Price Is Right is also in there.
