Eddie Pepitone’s Latest Hour Special “For The Masses” Due Out on Jun. 23rd

comedy special, eddie pepitone, for the masses, stand up comedy

Last year, we bore witness to the furious comedic majesty that is the words, bits, rants, asides, meta commentary, and righteous yelling that is the stand-up of one, Eddie Pepitone for his latest special, For the Masses. We don’t want to get into too much detail as the release of the special and album is just about a month away.

We will say that this special and, well, Eddie Pepitone might be one of the comedic voices you’d most like to hear right now. Undeniably funny, incredibly self-aware, but oh-so cathartic, Eddie Pepitone always manages to spread joy while screaming his thoughts/tweets on the top of metaphorical mountain. For The Masses, directed by Steven Feinartz, captures that spirit.

We’ll keep you in the loop as the release looms closer, but mark done Jun. 23rd for the premiere/release of For The Masses from 800 Pound Gorilla.

Andy Kindler Finally Releases a Debut Album “Hence the Humor” (and Of Course It’s Great)

a special thing, andy kindler, ast records, comedy album, debut album, meta comedy, stand up comedy

Over his multi-decade tenure in comedy, Andy Kindler has become comedy’s own venerable Internal Affairs department. Kindler’s roasts of any and all comedy that has become rote has earned him a permanent slot at JFL Montreal where he pokes fun at every corner of the art and business of comedy that he can with his State of the Industry “address”.

Yet, despite such status, Kindler has yet to release a full length comedy album. Well, he had yet to release such a thing until Hence the Humor came out today. Kindler has actually even released a special I Wish I Was Bitter long before this, but, leave it to a freewheeling deconstructionist like Andy to put out a debut album after everything else he has achieved in his storied stand-up career.

To that point, Andy shows off he what he does best with digging himself in holes and then nimbly jumping out them with such mastered ease. Kindler has jokes, then jokes about his own jokes, then asides about why he has to make jokes about said jokes and it all comes so fast, ricocheting from every angle, it’s one hell of a satisfying ride (that we’ve taken several times and we’ll take several times over again).

We wish we didn’t have to wait for Kindler to release a comedy album, but, it was worth the wait (even if you didn’t know you were waiting).

Andy Kindler “Hence the Humor” is out now from AST Records.

Pick of the Day: Picture This! 5/9

animation, brandie posey, comedy show, irene tu, live animation, mike l mayfield, paul danke, stand up comedy

One of the LA comedy scene’s most unique and marvelous shows has been, for quite awhile now actually, the live-animated comedy show, Picture This. For those unfamiliar or those so distanced from what happened in the before times, comedians perform and, in real time, animators would draw/sketch/animate based on their set.

We’re so thankful to hear that Picture This is coming to the comedy live-stream realm and, given the way Zoom is set up, all the comedians will likely have a better eye on the animator (as opposed to standing facing away from the screen where the animation is projected). Also, having another line-up including many of the best animators and illustrators in comedy paired with the comedy stylings of Kate Willett, Paul Danke, Irene Tu gets pretty damn close to putting on the show you would have gotten to see in LA or in several places along the comedy festival circuit.

So, look forward to having quite the Saturday afternoon this weekend with a brand spankin’ new edition of Picture This! Go get your tickets for $10 before they sell out!

THIS SAT 5/9 2p PT / 5p ET

Dwayne Kennedy’s “Who The Hell Is Dwayne Kennedy?” Makes Sure That Will Remember the Name Dwayne Kennedy

May 4, 2020

News

comedy album, political comedy, stand up comedy

To say that Dwayne Kennedy has been around the block in comedy is a vast understatement. Kennedy has more than proven his comedic mettle, especially when it comes to touching upon politics or issues of race, for decades whether on stage or writing for a whole row of envelope-pushing socio-political comedy TV series.

Actually, Kennedy has quite the subtly upbeat, inviting persona that makes his takes on, well, everything so accessible no matter how pointed they get. This full length debut album Who The Hell Is Dwayne Kennedy? really shows how powerful Kennedy’s laid-back charm (he has even got a relaxed charm when he’s angry) is. Cruising through bits on black serial killers, Trump’s unreasonable life span, or the systemic machinations of the NFL, Dwayne cleverly weaves the right amount of silliness through the whole hour that one might forget how radical Dwayne is getting in his material. Hopefully, after listening to it, you’ll only ask the title’s question ironically.

Who The Hell Is Dwayne Kennedy? came out just a few days ago from Oakhead Records and you can (and very much should) get it here or wherever you listen to comedy albums.

Dave Hill’s “The Pride of Cleveland” Is a Pretty Perfect Blend Stand-Up Comedy and Dave Shredding on Guitar

April 29, 2020

News

comedy album, dave hill, musical comedy, stand up comedy, storytelling

Dave Hill truly is a renaissance man (even dressing as classy as a renaissance man should). Thus, his comedy has always presented a plethora humorous riches blending his gifts in being a stand-up comedian, a raconteur, a poet, and having killer chops when it comes to playing a guitar.

The Pride of Cleveland, Dave’s brand new album marvelously showcases how Hill orchestrates an entire comedic experience with seamlessly weaving between music, riffing, stories, bits, jokes, asides. His playful, animated charisma really shines in the hour and is the key ingredient in bringing every corner of Dave’s comedy together for this hour. Even when he makes fun of his band while jamming with them or is self-deprecating while effortlessly pulling off a hot lick on his ax during a story about opening for Snoop Dogg or dives into abjectly silly geographically specific pick-up lines, Dave’s jolly persona remains. Truly, we were guffawing the whole way through.

Dave Hill’s The Pride of Cleveland is out now from 800 Pound Gorilla Records. You can and very, very much should pick up the album here.

Well, this was a wild one. Let’s just say that as the weeks have gone on, quarantine is driving people up the wall even if they just fully recovered from contracting COVID-19 like Ahamed Weinberg or released an amazing comedy album The Pursuit of Comedy Has Ruined My Life like Nick Nemeroff. Both are very, very funny comedians that are on the upswing right now and yet, these uncertain times can still throw a wrench in everything as was shown in their wayward “conversation” with TCB’s Jake Kroeger. All of that said, there is a Parks and Recreation reunion, Jamel Johnson’s new audience-less special Friend or Foe, and even three one-hour long improv specials from Middleditch & Schwartz to really help us not go stir crazy like Ahamed, Nick, and Jake.

Follow Ahamed @ahamedweinberg on Instagram & Twitter and do the same for Nick Nemeroff @nicknemeroff. Once again, get Nemeroff’s fantastic album The Pursuit of Comedy Has Ruined My Life.

News

cameron esposito, comedy show, nori reed, stand up comedy

All the way back to the time when The Daily Show was being handed off from Jon Stewart, it was unclear who was going to be his successor. During that time, we firmly believed that, if she were up for it, Cameron Esposito would be a perfect person to take the Daily Show baton from Stewart. Esposito’s charm, warmth, poise, and keen, razor sharp observations is the perfect combo that we’d like to see on our screens on a nightly basis.

So, anytime there’s a chance to see her headline, we don’t think you should pass it up. Lucky for you, Cameron is doing her own headlining gig with her latest hour, Separately, via Zoom this Wed. Apr. 29th at 5PM PT/8PM ET. She’s taking donations for admission to the Zoom live-stream that will go to Cameron, Nori Reed (Cameron’s opener for the night), and the beloved Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth Theater.

Nick Nemeroff’s “The Pursuit of Comedy Has Ruined My Life” Has a Plethora of Satisfying Absurdities

April 27, 2020

News

comedy album, nick nemeroff, stand up comedy

In an age of comedy where the “truth” and being honest and vulnerable has seemed to take precedent, the artisans of purely, unapologetically silly jokes have become increasingly rare. Those that have any knack for the meticulous nature of that comedic style are even rarer, which is why you should really savor the jokes of one Nick Nemeroff.

Nemeroff’s delivery is as drawn out and dry as we have seen in quite some time, especially on his new album, The Pursuit of Comedy Has Ruined My Life. There is such a slow burn to the build-up of his jokes, there’s plentiful giggling to be had the longer he draws out the joke before getting to the punchline. The noticeable pauses and the deliberate pacing really ratchet up the tension and Nemeroff is a deft writing talent and finding the perfectly ridiculous twist, turn, and punchline to release said tension.

Also, Nemeroff does, from time to time, revel in being self-aware of how beautifully absurd his material is and how he delivers it in such a reserved tone of voice. These momentary breaks in character really sweeten the game that Nemeroff is playing with the crowd during his set and consequently adds another entire layer of fun to be had.

Nick Nemeroff’s The Pursuit of Comedy Has Ruined My Life will be available to buy/listen to on Tues. Apr. 27th, but you can pre-order on Apple Music now.

Here’s a bit of what Nemeroff has up his sleeve in the meantime and you’ll see what we’ve been saying.

comedy special, jesus trejo, showtime, stand up comedy

Jesus Trejo‘s very first hour special is coming in the not so distant future (perhaps when a good majority of states in the U.S. have loosened some of their precautionary measure that flattened). Still, whether you’ll be staying in or out congregating outside, Trejo’s debut hour stand-up comedy special Stay at Home Son on Showtime will be premiering at the end of May and you should watch it.

We had the esteemed privilege and luck to see Trejo work out this hour in LA, often little bits here and there enjoying the start contrast between Trejo’s gravel-y voice and his playful observations and personal stories.

Get a sense of what’s to come from Stay at Home Son with this clip.

THEN, look for the premiere on Wednesday May 29th at 9PM on Showtime.

amber preston, comedy album, stand up comedy

The arrival of comedy albums recorded in the before times (you know with audiences gathering in tight spaces to laugh communally) keeps being a very welcome and very nostalgic break to the reality that we’re faced with and have been faced with over the last couple of months.

Amber Preston’s brand new album Sparkly Parts that was just released last week is one such delightful vacation from reality. Preston’s pristine Midwestern accent and persona disguises her worldly experience throughout the record. The contrast between the two just makes her keen comedic observations all the sweeter and unmistakably charming (even if they get a little risqué here or there). There’s a homespun feeling to it all, but Preston’s astute writing and craftsmanship really serve up a thoroughly satisfying hour (especially with how she closes it all on such a good punchline).

So, go get Amber Preston‘s Sparkly Parts as it’s available now for download from Stand Up! Records.

Pick of the Day: Todd Glass 4/18

News

helium presents, pick of the day, stand up comedy, todd glass

We’ve seen a lot of comedians try a lot of different things over the last month of lockdown/quarantine/”quar” (if you’re needing to make it sound cuter to cope). For the most part, it has been short sets, extended stories, and sight gags. Still, it’s a great time for experimentation as so many of comedy’s already very loose rules for how it used to be done live, for the time being, have been frustratingly thrown out the window.

If there was someone who was up for trying a bit, a bit within in a bit, an explanation of both the bit and notes on how it’s going to be mindful of when we take the bit from the top, and perhaps try something to really take advantages of the limitations provided by live-streamed comedy done in lockdown because of a global pandemic, it might be the one and only Todd Glass.

Luckily, he’s legitimately headlining and you can see Glass put all of that on display this very weekend, Sat. Apr. 18th thanks to Helium Presents. It’ll be a live to tape show that broadcasts 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET and tickets are $10. Go get them here and look forward to Saturday for another reason besides being one week closer to being “safer-at-home” ending (hopefully).

The last special that Hannah Gadsby released, Nanette, was such a lightning rod of a comedy special that will forever live on as a landmark piece of culture from our time. Its agenda and execution were so powerful that it sparked a discussion about comedy for months and months as well as furthering the global conversation about sexual assault/harassment sparked from #MeToo.

So, her next special Douglas is due out on Netflix on Tues., May 26th and if you can imagine how much the world’s attention turned to Gadsby the first time when she got catapulted from being renowned in Australia to international acclaim, you can surely imagine how highly anticipated this next hour of stand-up will be.

(via Variety)

Over the last several specials that Patton Oswalt has released, Patton has always served up a very handily crafted, great hour of stand-up. He has managed, with the exquisite sincerity that he injects into his comedy, to make the arrival of his hours a moment to both laugh heartily and gain perspective on the human condition whether he’s talking about strangely named roses or the passing of his late wife, Michelle McNamara. From Finest Hour to Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time to Talking for Clapping to Annihilation, Patton really displays the healing power of comedy both for himself and to those listening and watching intently.

Essentially, it’s always a good time when Patton’s latest hour is about to be released, which is called, “I Love Everything” and is coming next month on Sun. May 19th to Netflix.

Ian Abramson’s 7 Minutes in Purgatory Gave a Preview of What Comedy Would Be Like During COVID-19 Pandemic

When it comes to comedians performing without a traditional audience like is the temporary norm for now, you might have heard references to comedy specials recorded years ago from Drew Michael or Harland Williams (Michael recorded it on a sound stage for HBO and Williams stood on a rock in the desert and did his hour).

We’d actually like to point you to something that is an even more apt comparison and a pretty spot on precursor to what how live comedy is performed and consumed right now. The ever innovative Ian Abramson put himself on the map a bit with ultra-innovative (at the time) live comedy show called 7 Minutes in Purgatory where comedians had to perform remotely, though near an actual venue without any chance to hear the laughs of the live audience that was in attendance for the show.

For the crowd, they were treated to watching a live feed of the comedian in the remote performance space and got to watch them try and perform. If you’ve seen a stand-up comedy show on Twitch, Instagram Live, Zoom, etc., you ought to know that 7 Minutes in Purgatory gave us a preview (even though it was unaware of doing so) of what was to come.

It was and is a great show and a daring comedic experiment that had comics recalibrate their act, try a daring bit that leans into the format, or automatically go into uber self-deprecation (exactly like they do now).

As an artifact of the before times, it’s even more fascinating to see what doing comedy in the way we have to do right now was like when we didn’t have to do that.

Get into the Comedy Central digital series version of 7 Minutes of Purgatory, that includes performances from Michelle Buteau, Jon Dore, Maria Bamford, Bobcat Goldthwait & Caitlin Gill, and more here.

Since Grant Lyon’s Album Release Parties for “Scheduled Fun Time” Got Cancelled, He Made a Digital One

March 27, 2020

News

album release party, comedy album, grant lyon, stand up comedy

As everything involving people gathering got shut down a few weeks ago, performers of all kinds, set to put on shows on all throughout March and April, had to reconfigure everything and drastically dive into rescheduling, postponing, etc. When it comes to the prospect of releasing your new comedy album with accompanying live release shows, one might have to get pretty clever with how to go forward in these times.

Thus, Grant Lyon, who did indeed release a brand new stand-up comedy album Scheduled Fun Time this week, was unable to do the multiple album release shows that he intended to do right around now. Instead, he made a digital release party complete with a vast line-up of guests and some truly great stories about Grant, all stitched together from videos shot remotely and clips of their stand-up from the before times.

On Lyon’s release show are the likes of Cameron Esposito, Jake Weisman, Brent Weinbach, Dave Ross, Zach Sherwin, Shane Mauss, Ryan O’Flanagan, Dave Waite, Mitch Burrow, and so many more. We don’t all get to be a single venue to hear all of this together, but this still is quite the release show given the circumstances.

Please enjoy all 45 min. of Grant Lyon’s Album Release Party Show here.

Also, go get the aforementioned album Scheduled Fun Time by Grant Lyon that was the impetus for this digital release party. Lyon shows off his meticulous crafting of observational humor as well as having one of the best stories about being a comedian winning in court of all time. Get/listen to Scheduled Fun Time here.

Please Get David Venhuizen’s Marvelously Silly Debut Album “Barn Door Open”

March 26, 2020

News

comedy album, david venhuizen, stand up comedy

David Venhuizen has always stuck to his guns of being one of the abjectly sillier comedians in the LA scene for as long as we’ve seen him go up. His commitment to his bits, never breaking is something to behold.

While listening to this debut album, Barn Door Open, we were reminded of that fact that in the 10 or so years that we’ve seen Venhuizen go up around town, we’ve never seen him break even though the progression of his bits are so absurd and out of nowhere and truly go to places that you don’t expect. Often, he’ll start from a very grounded, organic place of very specific observations of his life, but David then oscillates to something fantastical or meta or even shout a rant that’s also joyfully out of left field.

Thus, Barn Door Open, really is a journey of a comedy album that will definitely make you enjoy forgetting about getting to any sort of destination (though there is one and it usually is very silly even when Venhuizen gets vulnerable near the end of the hour).

So, go get Barn Door Open, available now, here on Apple Music.

One of the pillars of LA comedy is the amazing, weekly Monday (mostly) stand-up show, Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to plenty of suspensions of live comedy shows across the board right now leading to a big wave of livestreaming, especially in the last week.

Thus, Hot Tub is joining in, starting tonight, on said wave, thankfully, at its same time, 8PM on Mondays with yet another fantastic line-up. In fact, it might be the first time that Hot Tub has ever done this and this might be the first live comedy show in LA to return via livestreaming.

This first livestreamed Hot Tub has a line-up of:

For every day of the week, there is usually one or more weekly live comedy shows that you can rely on in the Greater LA Area to deliver you the best in stand-up, sketch, and improv.

Poise.

Hannah Einbinder has honed so many skills in her comedy craft in her rise through the comedy ranks and discovering her unique, original voice and persona. Yet, we have to note that her poise, her ability to stay composed in her highly conceptualized bits is entrancing and only makes her comedy stylings so much more emphatic and hysterical. We’ve actually got to see Einbinder develop her style over the last few years and it’s quite the treat to see the fruits of her labor be this set on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

For years, we’ve been saying be on the look out for Einbinder, but now The Late Show is doing it too (and for good reason). So, please, please, please enjoy Einbinder’s network TV debut with this set.
