Seeso continues a healthy stream of UK comedy imports with the Alan Partridge’s Scissored Isle mockumentary. It follows Steve Coogan’s hilarious, long-running, bumbling radio DJ character Alan Partridge in his latest escapades, which are mostly his own fault.
Get a taste of the special here and here, then go watch (or sign-up, then watch) on Seeso.
Having your own face on a billboard, especially on the legendary Sunset Strip in WeHo, is quite the milestone for any entertainer.
That’s why Mo Mandel wanted to make a promo for his brand new stand-up special Negative Reinforcement, which started streaming on Seeso this week, showing off his visage on the heart of The Sunset Strip.
However, you should know that the ad for Mo’s special is on a digital billboard that rotates through a cycle of plenty of other ads. He still gave a shot at making a promo anyway.
Oh, also, you should go watch Negative Reinforcement on Seeso since Mo is pretty damn funny as shown in these clips of said special.
Though Janeane Garofalo does indeed maintain no social media presence, she is definitely a comedian that you need to follow, however that can accomplished.
Luckily, this brand new comedy special If I May, now streaming at Seeso, makes that a little bit easier.
Here are two little morsels just in case you forgot how much of a delight Garofalo can be.
Just to be clear, it’s a stand-up special that you should definitely go watch and nothing else.
Jena’s first comedy special has just started streaming at Seeso. If you need a palate cleanser from the words of a “nasty man”, this would be the perfect thing to watch right now.
HarmonQuest Renewed for Season 2 at Seeso and Has “Uncovered” 38 Lost Scenes
Seeso, wisely we think, is staying their course of as-off-beat-as-can-be comedy programming.
Just announced today, HarmonQuest, where Dan Harmon and friends play their own humorous fantasy role playing game, just got picked up for a second season at NBC’s comedy exclusive streaming service, Seeso, for next year. On top of that, 38 additional scenes from season 1 will be coming in soon on November 3rd.
If you’re still waiting for Seeso to have enough to pay $3.99 a month for it, it’s clear that it probably surpassed that awhile ago.
Seeso has been forcing one Jon Bander to do uncomfortable interviews that are made uncomfortable at the discretion of all the Seeso stars that Bander is interviewing.
In the case of Paul F. Tompkins, star of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, he took an approach that no one else has with Bander and reached, we’re pretty sure, a new level of tension in an interview that no one else has before.
You have both Netflix and Seeso, right?
Christopher Guest’s latest movie and more hijinks parodying Million Dollar Listing should make yet another good weekend, like almost every weekend these days, to binge watch TV. Stream Mascots on Netflix and Bajillion Dollar Properie$ on Seeso now.
This hour from the razor sharp Jena Friedman has toured the globe and Seeso has sagaciously made this into their latest comedy special.
Here’s a trailer for the wonderfully titled American C*nt.
Look for it to start streaming on Seeso next week on Thursday, October 20th.
Called “There’s Johnny!”, one will probably wonder how it stacks up next to The Larry Sanders Show.
Paul Reiser and David Steven Simon who worked together on Mad About You are teaming up again to write a show that focuses on what happened with the legendary Johnny Carson behind the scenes of his run at The Tonight Show.
David Gordon Green, who Reiser works with on Red Oaks, is set to produce with both Paul and Simon and might bring some very intriguing comedic flavor to this show.
We’ll find out what this ends up being on 2017 when it starts streaming on Seeso.
Tickets are $15 and you can (and should) get them here.
The rest of our listings for comedy shows/events as well as open mics and maps are embedded at www.thecomedybureau.com.
Seeso’s original series Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ has done a pretty great job sending up Million Dollar Listing and looks to one-up themselves in season 2.
This season 2 trailer looks like it’s more than up to that task.
Look for season 2 of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ to start streaming on Thursday, October 13th.
For this week, Seeso’s new release is an absurd debate series hosted by none other than Michael Ian Black called Debate Wars.
Comedians are pitted against each other in, you guessed it, a debate of such random, but oft-discussed topics like “cake vs. pie”
You can see Jena Friedman defend cake beautifully here.
After that, stream whole episodes of Debate Wars now over at Seeso.

So, it’s pretty clear to us that you should get Seeso if you haven’t already.
Doug Stanhope’s latest stand-up special, No Place Like Home, is now streaming exclusively over at Seeso. It’s a good reason to get Seeso, but, if you’re stubborn, it’ll come out in other formats in a few months.
It’s Doug’s first special shot in Bisbee, AZ, where Doug currently lives, which should clue you in on his personal he wanted to be with this brand new hour.
You can see for yourself how personal he gets in this clip where he talks about the state of mental health care in this country through the perspective of his girlfriend Bingo.
Doug Stanhope’s latest stand-up special No Place Like Home is definitely one that we’re impressed that Seeso landed.
From the looks of this preview clip, where Stanhope dissects the concept of poverty, you should definitely be glad you have/get Seeso to watch it.
No Place Like Home starts streaming on September 15th at Seeso.
Doug Stanhope Next Special “No Place Like Home” Is Coming to Seeso Next Month
In a year where Doug Stanhope is getting really personal (check out his book Digging Up Mother: A Love Story), Stanhope made sure that his latest special was literally close to home.
That’s right, this latest special No Place Like Home was shot in Bisbee, AZ where Doug currently resides.
You won’t have to wait long before you can see it as it is slated to premiere and stream on Seeso on September 15th (You do have Seeso, by now, right?).
Seeso Orders ‘Shrink’ From Tim Baltz and Ted Tremper to Series
We’re glad that Seeso is giving a chance to comedies that have promise that NBC might never take a chance on (remember that they sold Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to Netflix)
The premise of Shrink follows a med school grad trying to pay off his massive amount of student debt and become licensed through “recording 1,920 supervised clinical hours, which he begins by soliciting unorthodox patients from Craigslist and conducts the free sessions in his parent’s garage.”
While that does sound like how a podcast could start, we’re on board for what Baltz and Tremper have cooking here.
Seeso Renews ‘Hidden America’, ‘Cyanide & Happiness’, ‘What’s Your F@%king Deal?!’
A faux travel series hosted by Jonah Ray, an animated dark comedy based on a popular web comic, and a crowd work showcase hosted by Big Jay Oakerson all get renewed at Seeso today. It looks the NBC comedy exclusive streaming service has been taking chances that perhaps that NBC wouldn’t take for their own broadcast network comedy programming and it’s working out.
We hope it keeps going that way.
In their ongoing quest to be a worthy streaming service that only deals in comedy, Seeso has made sure to include plenty of programming from across both the Atlantic and Pacific.
A lot of UK and Aussie comedy from yesteryear to now (and even a few years ago) are currently getting their U.S. exposure through Seeso exclusively.
The latest acquisition comes by way of Australia from Connor Van Vuuren’s Soul Mates, a series that follows a friendship through the centuries between two literal, so it would seem, kindred spirits.
Just seem the flat out, absurdist fun that Soul Mates has with itself in this trailer.
Though it came out in Australia two years ago, you’ll be able to see Soul Mates stateside starting Thursday, September 1st on Seeso.
This is just a morsel of the brilliant travel/food show satire that Hidden America with Jonah Ray is doing on Seeso.
Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, a comedy couple that we’ve been big fans of ever since they moved here to LA, have their brand new scripted series debuting today.
Take My Wife is a really great snapshot (we saw and really enjoyed two episodes earlier this week) of their lives as comedians at different stages in their career, women and LGBTQ people in comedy, and a couple trying to figure out their life together that’s both very personal and charming (i.e. Cameron and Rhea’s wonderful brand of comedy). Also, know that Laura Kightlinger plays a weird neighbor and it’s icing on top of this cake.
The series is now streaming at Seeso, but you can a free preview of the whole first episode, courtesy of Seeso, on YouTube.
Comedians including Aparna Nancherla, Guy Branum, Judah Friedlander, Gilbert Gottfried, Jordan Carlos, Mike Lawrence, Janeane Garafalo, Todd Barry, Connor Ratliff, Eugene Mirman, Grace Parra, Brian McCann, Dave Hill, and more debating various topics such as babies, vaginas, cats, dogs, and other inconsequential arguments with Michael Ian Black hosting sounds pretty good to us.
That’s all of what’s in Debate Wars that’s coming soon to Seeso. See for yourself in the trailer.
We’re talking Crash Test, Crabapples, Sandbox, Reggie Watts and Karen, Prompter, Jim Gaffigan, The UCB Show, Underbelly, Eddie Pepitone, and so much more.
Check the Comedy Crawl calendar embedded at www.thecomedybureau.com to see all the show listings we’ve curated for next week and beyond as well as what any/all of those names above mean.
Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher, a comedian couple that we’ve got enjoy for the last few years here in LA, now has their own semi-autobiographical series coming out following their lives inside and outside of comedy.
It’s cleverly called Take My Wife, starts streaming on Seeso on Thursday, August 11th, and we personally can’t wait for that date to come around the corner.
In the meantime, here’s the trailer for Take My Wife.
Do note plenty of great cameos from Paul F. Tompkins, James Adomian, Laura Kightlinger, Ron Funches, Jonah Ray, and more in aforementioned trailer.
