Shane Torres’ “Established 1981″ Makes Dark Places Seem Kind of Charming

September 8, 2017

Uncategorized

comedy album, comedy central, shane torres, stand up

From both his own name and the name of his album as well as the album’s cover, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that Shane Torres’ Established 1981 might be an hour of honest comedy tapped directly from Shane’s life that may snake its way through dark subject matter.

For this debut album, Shane indeed goes through stories and observations of a life that has been run through the ringer more than a few times. However, Shane has an unmistakable air of optimism in his comedic perspective, which left us with a smile on our face and the notion that maybe, things/life/etc. might be OK (eventually).

Get a taste of that here as he discusses a victorious way to quit your job.

Shane Torres’ Established 1981 is now available off of Comedy Central Records.

So, if that’s up your alley, you should definitely go to the latest edition of Garden Party, hosted by Rachele Friedland and Robyn Morrison.

Please Enjoy Ryan Hamilton’s First Hour Special “Happy Face”, Now Streaming on Netflix

September 1, 2017

Uncategorized

comedy special, happy face, netflix, ryan hamilton, stand up

Ryan Hamilton expertly uses his bright shining, natural smile as a great foil for which his comedy can play off of.

In fact, the juxtaposition of his self-deprecating persona and that smile are the jumping off point and underlying thread for the meticulously crafted hour, Happy Face, which just started streaming on Netflix this week.

In many ways, this special is a great example of classical stand-up, if you can conjure up such a thing in your mind, with structure, rhythm, stage presence, execution all working together seamlessly.

As mentioned above, Ryan Hamilton: Happy Face is now streaming on Netflix.

Get a taste of it with this trailer.

Jerry Before Seinfeld Trailer Reveals That Jerry Seinfeld’s Latest Special Will Be All About His Life Leading Into Becoming a Big Time Comedian

Uncategorized

comedy special, jerry seinfeld, netflix, stand up, trailer

Jerry Seinfeld is a master of observational comedy. He honed it into such a form that it influenced generations of comedians for decades after his appearances on The Tonight Show.

In this vein, you might have noticed that Jerry very rarely gets autobiographical in his stand-up. That’s all about to change with his upcoming Netflix special that’s aptly titled Jerry Before Seinfeld, hinting at life before the landmark sitcom he starred in.

See for yourself how personal Jerry is going to get in the trailer here.

Look for Jerry Before Seinfeld to start streaming Tuesday, September 19th on Netflix.

It’s a great line-up, great cause, and a great name for a show. What more do you want?

Patton Oswalt’s Next Special “Annihilation” to Premiere on Netflix on October 17th and Might Be His Most Personal Hour Yet

August 28, 2017

Uncategorized

comedy special, netflix, patton oswalt, stand up

Patton Oswalt’s latest stand-up special will indeed delve into Patton dealing with the untimely passing of his wife on top of everything else that’s going on the world.

Oswalt has never shied away from dissecting his own life in his stand-up, but, by virtue of the subject matter, this hour will very likely present an even more open and vulnerable Patton that we’ve ever seen before.

With that in mind, you should mark Tuesday, October 17th on your calendar when this special, Annihilation, starts streaming on Netflix.

After all these years and the success that has come from doing WTF, Marc Maron seems almost at peace with the way things are; the key word being “almost”.

Luckily, that degree of almost being at peace keeps fueling his particular brand of self-deprecating comedy, specifically into this latest hour, Too Real, that will stream on Netflix starting next Tuesday, September 5th.

On Sunday nights, there’s a good chance you might find us at Bigfoot Lodge East for our last stop of the evening, Babe Island.

Tonight, there unfortunately will be no Babe Island at said Bigfoot Lodge as ASW, Androsky, Gborie, and Fritz are moving their show one neighborhood over to Bar Angeles (AKA The Elliott Smith Bar at 4330 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA) two weeks from now on Sunday, September 10th.

Per usual, they stacked the line-up with LA favorites: Jon Daly, Alex & Jude, Richard Bain, Billy Bonnell, and Amy Silverberg.

Except for the location change, it should be business as usual with the show starting around 10PM and there being no cover or minimum.
