“Comedians face off in series of one-on-one rap battles – totally freestyle, totally improvised. The audience decides the winner
by applause at the end of every round, until we have one final champion. It’s like 8 Mile, but funny.”
This will be a taping for Seeso’s Comedy Show Show.

Did you know that Seeso has a show featuring unique comedy shows called The Comedy Show Show? It does and they just happen to pick two of the most unique shows that currently reside in LA.
Drennon Davis’ Imaginary Radio Program where Drennon, effects and loop pedal, guests like Rachel Bloom make up a multitude of shows like you would hear when turning that AM/FM radio dial and Bryan Cook’s Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction where Bryan and other comedians write the most sexually graphic, pop culture inspired stories they can are now featured in special episodes of said Comedy Show Show.
Like we said above, it’s now streaming and you should go watch it, or get a Seeso account and then go watch it.
If you’re not on board for the animated-live action hybrid D&D game show, Harmonquest, with Dan Harmon and friends, perhaps you’ll be enticed with this first episode offered for free on YouTube, which has Paul F. Tompkins as a guest, courtesy of Seeso.
For the rest of you (as well as the recently converted), Harmonquest is now streaming on Seeso.

You’ll be treated to the stand-up of Cameron Esposito, Eugene Mirman, Janeane Garofalo, Beth Stelling, Aparna Nancherla, Kurt Metzger, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Liza Treyger, the Lucas Brothers, Byron Bowers, Sean Patton, Sam Morril, James Davis, Ian Abramson, Sean Donnelly, Thomas Dale, Ahmed Bharoocha and Emo Philips.
Part of a great comedy cultural exchange between the U.S. and Canada comes around during the JFL Montreal Comedy Festival when JFL also shoots their stand-up showcase series, Funny as Hell.
As past episodes have been streamed plenty on Seeso, Seeso has opted to make the series more known in the States, especially because of its heavy use of U.S. talent, to order a sixth season that’ll offered on NBC’s comedy streaming service.
There will be more names that’ll be added to the series during the festival, but that line-up alone is reason enough to go watch it.
One of the benefits of streaming services versus linear television is that there are no time limits or constraints.
Seeso seems to be taking advantage of this with their latest series Night Train with Wyatt Cenac that captures the majority of the actual live show, clocking in over an hour. On television, a live show like Night Train would probably be cut to a very trim 22 minutes.
You can see the difference and what you were missing all this time in not going to Night Train if you’re in Brooklyn/NYC as Night Train just started streaming on Seeso.
If you’re not sold on that, you can preview an entire episode, which times out to over 1 hour and 18 minutes, on YouTube right now.
All of this was announced while The Del Close Marathon, one of the biggest annual events that UCB is involved in, was happening.
This week, The Upright Citizens Brigade has already signed a deal with Universal Cable Partners. Now, on top of that, Seeso has just announced that they have ordered another season of The UCB Show featuring the best and brightest to come straight from UCB’s four theaters.
On top of all of that, there is a documentary, “Thank You Del”, covering the history of the improv institution known as The Del Close Marathon that’s now streaming on Seeso.
So, it’s been quite a week for UCB.
You may think of lobsters only when you’re treating yourself for seafood, but, as so many animated series these days have shown, lobsters can very relatable, awkward human characters.
See for yourself in Seeso’s Gentlemen Lobsters in this full episode preview, which just kicked off its second season today.

Comedy and Women’s Rec League Basketball have intersected like they have never have before at The Pistol Shrimps.
Many women in the LA comedy community have found common ground by joining in on the same basketball league including The Pistol Shrimps that could be a powerhouse comedy troupe if it wanted.
Ultimately, this makes the game way more fun to watch. Where else are rec league games watched by a packed house and have members of Superego do commentary?
A documentary of this whole world was made, did the festival circuit, and has gotten picked up to stream soon at Seeso.
Here’s a taste of what’s to come in this trailer.

It’s almost 100% guaranteed that you haven’t seen the America on Hidden America (unless you worked on the show).
If you’ve got Seeso or a friend or loved one’s Seeso password, you can now start streaming Hidden America with Jonah Ray. It’s a (mostly) faux travel show that sees the underbellies of America’s most beloved cities that are rarely seen (perhaps for a reason).
If you don’t have Seeso, you can get it for $3.99 a month here.
Jonah Ray’s mock travel show Hidden America hasn’t even premiered on Seeso yet, but you can take a full gander of the first episode, for your convenience, on YouTube.
Watch Jonah go to a version of Boston on Seeso’s YouTube page here.
Look for the series to start streaming on Seeso Thursday, June 2nd.
Get ready for Jonah Ray to show you a side of America that you’ve never seen before on his new series on Seeso, Hidden America.
Why haven’t you seen it before?
No one has really seen it before because it exists in an alternate universe fabricated to parody all those travel shows that have become so ubiquitous on cable TV.
Well, there is a bit of truth amidst all the tomfoolery as you’ll see in the trailer.
Look for episodes to start streaming on June 2nd on Seeso.
In case you’re wondering what original series you’re missing out on NBC’s comedy streaming service Seeso, they were nice enough to put the entire first episode of Thingstarter, which blends a scripted show about a dysfunctional innovative products company with real life focus group sessions, on YouTube.
Watch it here, then go get your Seeso subscription here.
Once a humble, but well crafted web series, Thingstarter is now a full-fledged show.
The Bilderbegers’ Thingstarter, the satirical parody of all things crowdfunding-related, got upgraded to a full-fledged show on Seeso and episodes start streaming today.
It’s one of many reasons that you should get a Seeso account or have a friend who will lend you another streaming service password.

Dan Harmon’s Dungeons & Dragons sessions, that have been their own live show as well as part of his podcast Harmontown featuring Spencer Crittenden and guests who may be more or less acquainted with D&D, is getting its own show on Seeso.
Harmonquest will not only feature the riff-filled version of D&D with the likes of really funny people joining in the journey, but will also have great animated reenactments to accompany the game as the story unfolds.
Here’s a preview with Paul F. Tompkins as one of the guests that shows how great this concept really is.
Look for Harmonquest to start streaming on Seeso starting Thursday, July 14th.
Drennon Davis not only takes you back to the days of turning the dial of terrestrial radio, but does so with the such cleverness in his Imaginary Radio Program.
This will be a taping for Seeso’s Comedy Show Show featuring comedy formats that really push the comedy envelope.
It’s free to attend so long as you RSVP.

Seeso continues to make a really good case for their $3 per month comedy streaming service.
Yesterday, we posted the trailer to the Brent Hodge documentary on The Pistol Shrimps, the rec league basketball team comprised of many great comedy folks, hoping that it would get to play beyond its film festival run at Tribeca.
Over the last 24 hours, NBC’s Seeso has acquired the worldwide rights to the film and will exclusively stream it later in 2016.
Again, Seeso gets more enticing everyday if you don’t already have it.
This edition of Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction will be a taping for Seeso’s upcoming Comedy Show Show. It also happens to feature some of the best comedians to ever write pop-culture based sex tales.
So, don’t miss it this on Sunday at The Virgil (4519 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, Blvd) at 7:30PM.

Seeso’s newest series (yep, they’re keeping the brand spankin’ new content rolling) Hidden America with Jonah Ray finally has a preview. When first seeing various images of it, it does indeed look like any one of those dozens of travel shows that fill up hours of cable TV programming.
Yet, there’s something a little off in this preview clip as Fresh Off The Boat’s Randall Park is running a new “vegan” restaurant.
We can’t wait for more mischief like this to start streaming on Thursday, June 2nd on Seeso.
Seeso is keeping their end of the bargain up by continuing to roll out new, enticing comedy content.
Their latest offering will be their very own UK dramedy series Flowers from Will Sharpe and starring Olivia Colman and Julian Barnatt. The trailer shows a highly stylized, dark comedy following a family barely keeping it together that might be worth you checking out if you already have Seeso or spend the $3 a month so sign up.
Look for episodes to start streaming on Seeso on May 5th.
Thanks to the gigantic online real estate database Zillow, the over-the-top, power hungry people at Bajillion Dollar Propertie$’s Platinum Realty got to meet and chat, completely in character, with a real life counterpart in Hollywood real estate agent Gary Gold.
Watch it here and note how the tension of annoyance throughout when fiction and real life meet.
If you’re still somehow subscribed to Seeso, you can still get into Cameron Esposito’s latest hour offering of stand-up.
Her special, Marriage Material, which is streaming exclusively on Seeso, can now be purchased as an album on iTunes.
It doesn’t matter which way you go to watch/listen to Marriage Material so long as you do indeed go for one of them.
Cameron Esposito’s very first hour stand-up special Marriage Material has just started streaming over at Seeso today. If you haven’t heard us go on about Cameron before, we’ll let you know that anything she does is absolutely worth getting into.
Cameron not only gives greater exposure to LGBTQ voices, perspectives, and identity through her comedy, but she is so funny and disarming while doing so.
If you don’t have Seeso, you might want to take care of that today.
