4. Bill Burr has gone from revered comedian to lauded podcaster to acclaimed acting to acclaimed adult animation to sports commentating to, now, filmmaker with Netflix picking up his directorial feature debut Old Dads (Deadline). It’ll follow Bill as a man trying “…to navigate a changing world of culture, career and fatherhood,” so kind of an extended, cinematic act out of his stand-up.

5. One of the most beloved UK comedy series over in these parts is Derry Girls and Derry Girls fans ought to be thrilled to know that creator Lisa McGee has just set up her latest series at Channel 4, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast (Variety). It’s a comedy thriller that follows a mystery arising from the death of an old friend. Between this and Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters, it’s nice to know that Ireland’s dark sense of humor is well intact.

6. Don’t become a slave to your nostalgia.

Just two more weeks until what seems like years and years of waiting for another season of Three Busy Debras comes to an end. The unrelenting absurdist comedy from Mitra Jouhari, Alyssa Stonoha, and Sandy Honig was such a joy when it first debuted in 2020 and kind of like What We Do In The Shadows, we felt like we were just biding our time until the second season came around.

Thank goodness that Sun. Apr. 24th is pretty damn close and you can plan accordingly to stay up to midnight to watch it live (or watch it at your leisure on HBO Max the next day).

As we said up top, you can take a more Debra look (there’s a lotta lotta Debra) at season 2 with the full trailer here.

Your favorite trio of Debras, the three busiest ones played by Alyssa Stonoha, Mitra Jouhari, and Sandy Honig, are finally back for season 2. The first season of Three Busy Debras premiered on Adult Swim two years ago right when a certain global pandemic struck.

Their particular brand of absurdist humor, even though it’s satire to the nth degree of the unfortunately real world, is still such an escapist joy that we’ve dearly missed them for however long this time has felt for you (ten years for us, at least).

This second season of Three Busy Debras is due out on April 24th on Adult Swim and will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max. Until then, you can remind yourself what a ridiculous delight Three Busy Debras are with the first official look/clip of season 2 here.

Many of the very best line-ups for comedy shows often come with the purpose of raising money for a worthy cause. That was definitely true all of last summer as gala level line-ups assembled on Zoom to raise money for mutual aid, undocumented relief, and local representative campaigns.

That will be true yet again as Hugo Soto-Martinez is raising money for a run at LA City Council (quick reminder that two LA City Council members were indicted on federal charges in the last year or so and we need good folks in those seats) as someone who is a more fair, equitable, and safe life for Angelenos. Thus, he has been doing pop-up comedy fundraisers as of late.

This latest edition of Community Power will feature the stellar comedy stylings of:

Dan Mintz (Tina from Bob’s Burgers!)
Kate Berlant
James Adomian
Demi Adejuyigbe
Sandy Honig
Steve Hernandez
Andrea More

That’s beyond a stacked show on Tues. Nov. 16th at 7PM PT at Club Tee Gee and one that you pretty much shouldn’t miss for any reason. Tickets start at $10 and sales all go towards Hugo Soto-Martinez for City Council 2022!

Go get them here before they sell out (Tee Gee is a beautiful and very intimate venue, so space is limited, FYI).

There are so many issues on the table right now that it’s almost too easy that such monumental issues like climate change can be easily forgotten about. Thus, plenty of folks running for public office are taking up the mantle of pushing the tenets of The Green New Deal and combatting climate change in addition to every other fight that needs to be fought and need support.

That’s why there’s a huge benefit live-stream this Friday, Oct. 9th at 7PM PT/10PM ET presented by Sunrise Movement LA to benefit the campaigns of Green New Deal candidates at all levels of government for Los Angeles. To support them, a very stellar, stacked line-up including Amy Poehler, Jane Fonda, Aidy Bryant, Joaquin Phoenix, Demi Adejuyigbe, Julio Torres, Ayo Edebiri, and more will be performing virtually along with hosts Sandy Honig and Mitra Jouhari of Three Busy Debras fame.

The Three Busy Debras, Sandy Honig, Mitra Jouhari, and Alyssa Stonoha, have always been hysterical with their fantastical, absurd, and satirically feminist with their sketches over the years (or that one time where they got to play Carnegie Hall).

Thus, we were thrilled to find out that they were getting a full-fledged, live action Adult Swim series and have been hotly anticipating it for all the months since we heard the announcement.

Three Busy Debras premiered last night on Adult Swim and completely lived up to their reputation of keeping things silly and subversive, pointing a chic, well-lit mirror right back at the patriarchy. It certainly it takes you to whole other world that is so wonderfully bonkers that you’ll maybe forget, for 10 minutes, about the one you currently live in.

So, with all of that said, enjoy the first episode of Three Busy Debras for FREE here at AdultSwim.com.

Only a handful of the biggest comedians have ever played the legendary Carnegie Hall including Bob Hope, Louis C.K., Kathy Griffin, Jerry Seinfeld, Phyllis Diller, and Steve Martin. For many, it was a lifelong goal to play there and signified a rarefied status in comedy.

Little did all of these people know that they could just rent it out for a bunch of money.

Comedy trio Three Busy Debras (you might remember them from their otherworldly Brunch video) uncovered this secret and plans on trying to put on their own free comedy show at a recital space in the very same Carnegie Hall through a Kickstarter campaign.

So, Sandy Honig, Mitra Jouhari, and Alyssa Stonoha are looking to raise $7500 and already have $4929 of that raised. If you donate, you could get anything from personalized poetry to requested cover songs to a .zip file of papers they wrote in college.

They have until May 19th to raise the money that will cover the base level cost of putting on a show there.

Get in on their mischief and donate here.
