Solomon Georgio’s Childhood Bully Got Way More Than He Bargained for When Crossing Solomon’s Mom
On the latest episode of This Is Not Happening, Solomon Georgio shares the tale of why his mom is among the most badass mothers of all time by how she handled Solomon’s bully.
As it turns out, this kid got the rudest of awakenings.
Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction to Be Featured on Seeso
It’s about time this happened.
One of the many new, exciting things that are happening at NBC’s comedy streaming service, Seeso, is a thing called The Comedy Show Show, which will feature plenty of different formats of comedy shows that have grown over the last few years.
Bryan Cook’s Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction is a prime example of such a format with comedians writing erotic fiction of a pop culture subject of their choice or by random. Having toured the country and becoming a hit podcast, it’s only logical that it would get to be featured in a series at some point.
So, a taping for Seeso’s Comedy Show Show will take place at the Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction’s current home, The Virgil, on Sunday, April 17th at 8PM (doors are at 7:30PM).
The stellar line-up features past winners including such notable comedians as:
Moshe Kasher (Netflix special “Live in Oakland”)
Eliza Skinner (@Midnight, writer ‘The Late Late Show’)
Ben Roy (Star/Co-creator ‘Those Who Can’t’ on TruTv)
Dave Hill (Author, ‘Tasteful Nudes,’ Host ‘The God Damn Dave Hill Show’ on WFMU)
Ian Karmel (Conan, writer ‘The Late Late Show’)
Guy Branum (writer, ‘Another Period,’ ‘The Mindy Project’)
Andrés du Bouchet (Writer/performer on Conan)
Jackie Kashian (Conan, album ‘This Will Make An Excellent Horcrux’)
Solomon Georgio (Conan, Viceland)
The taping is free to attend, which should give you more incentive than you already have to go to this.
Watch the First Episode of Viceland’s “Flophouse” That Showcases How Great House Comedy Shows Can Be
Today, Vice’s new venture, Viceland, released its first batch of episodes for all of their new shows. Among them is Flophouse where renowned director Lance Bangs delves into the wondrous chaos that is a comedy show held in a house.
The first episode is set in our backyard, specifically in Highland Park, at the house of Solomon Georgio, James Austin Johnson, and Eric Dadourian featuring performances from Solomon, Eric, James Adomian, Alice Wetterlund, Clare O’Kane, Brandon Wardell, and Curtis Cook as well as a complimentary rap battle w/Open Mike Eagle, a mattress in the middle of the floor, a bow and arrows, rain (for some reason) and more.
Watch it all really happen here.

Watch Trailer’s for Lance Bangs’ “Flophouse” Where He Explores the Comedy Underground
Since time immemorial, comedians have often lived together in what many would considered cramped, messy, and raucous living situations. Comedians, for the most part, think it’s just fine.
In this latest golden era of comedy, there’s a whole new excitement brewing in the underground and, with the aid of the Internet, it’s not quite as underground (i.e. no one has ever heard of it) as it used to be.
Lance Bangs explores this subculture that’s bridging its way to the big time, though, on its own terms, in his Viceland series Flophouse. Specifically, he goes through these comedian ‘flophouses’ and then sees them all put on a live show on a rooftop, in a back yard, in a garage, etc.
Here’s a trailer for Flophouse in case you’re curious as to what this all looks like and haven’t gotten the luck to go to a house comedy show.
By the way, featured in the trailer are:
Kate Willett, Clare O’Kane, Solomon Georgio, Amy Miller, Brent Weinbach, Brandon Wardell, Eric Dadourian, Dave Stone, Maria Bamford, James Adomian, Sean Patton, James Austin Johnson, David Gborie, Steve Agee, and much more.
Look for Flophouse to come to Vice’s new Viceland on Feb. 29th.
Vice Is Getting Their Own Channel, Viceland, and You Bet That They Have a Comedy Show
Of course, this being Vice, it’s called The Flop House.
H2, the expansion of The History Channel, hasn’t been working out and A+E and Vice have come together to take that spot and make into a brand new channel called Viceland.
It’ll be an entire Vice-bent network with series following LGBT explorations around the globe with Ellen Page, eating with Action Bronson, and a house party comedy show featuring stand-up called The Flop House.
In a launch reel for Viceland, you can see Solomon Georgio and Brandon Wardell doing stand-up at a house and we’re sure that there is way more tomfoolery in store for the show beyond that.
Look for Viceland to launch sometime next year, possibly in late February.
Solomon Georgio Makes His Stand-Up TV Debut on Conan
Hailing from Seattle by way of Ethiopia, we’re lucky to have the very funny Solomon Georgio here now in Los Angeles.
Last night, he got to make his TV debut performing on Conan and while it may very well be the first late night stand-up set in the U.S. from an openly gay immigrant, you should watch it because it’s pretty great.
