Joe Mande’s 1st Hour Special “Joe Mande’s Award-Winning Comedy Special” Is Now Streaming

July 25, 2017

Just for the fact that Joe Mande called his first hour special “Joe Mande’s Award-Winning Comedy Special” should be enough to at least tug at your curiosity to give it a watch.

A la The Secret, Mande not only named this special with the hopes of it winning awards, but also weaved a silly, meta narrative thread through the hour that makes you wonder if Joe can really “moneyball” a comedy special. That includes surprise cameos from Bo Burnham, Blake Griffin, and George Wallace.

Also, the entrepreneurial pitches and Mande’s own personal crisis over free speech are bits that stand alone separate from the “award-winning” framework.

With all of that said, you can now go stream Joe Mande’s Award Winning Comedy Special at Netflix.

In case you didn’t know, Nate Bargatze is one of the Tonight Show’s absolute favorite comedians.

This set is a yet another example of why Nate keeps getting asked back. Also, this is the first time that we can remember that Nate, or really anyone in recent memory for that matter, has opened up with a story of murder on a family friendly late night talk show. Of course, it being Nate, it went pretty swell.

All of our listings for comedy shows, events, open mics, and more in the Greater LA Area for next week (7/24) and beyond are updated!

Often in LA, there are comedy shows that, for a myriad of reasons, happen in non-traditional spaces (salons, vintage stores, teepees). The novelty of the atypical venue adds charm, but only a handful of shows actually lean in to whatever space they’re in.

Full Moon Comedy, hosted by Charlie Bury, Lindsay Adams, and Aaron Weaver, takes advantage of being in the mystical supply and apothecary, The Green Man Store in North Hollywood. Guided meditations, prescriptions of crystals for comedians based on their sets, and actual folks that are in touch with the magical/spiritual/etc. world all happen at this show.

This latest edition of the show also has a fantastic line-up with Eddie Pepitone, The Sisters Puterbaugh, Renee Gauthier, and a very special ceremony from La Sound Healing.

Best of all, it’s free to attend. Get more details here.

Watch Ari Shaffir’s Double Negative, Now Streaming on Netflix

July 18, 2017

Uncategorized

ari shaffir, comedy special, double negative, netflix, stand up

All those years of hosting This Is Not Happening have rubbed off on Ari Shaffir in the best way possible.

You can see the effect on his latest special, Double Negative, which just started streaming on Netflix. The way in which he weaves personal observations and stories in, through, and around a single Tinder-related incident that befell a friend is subtle, but very impressive. You almost don’t even realize he has been circling and off-shooting from the same point for the whole hour until the end of it. Therein lies Ari’s detailed, seamless craftsmanship.

So, with that said, give Ari’s Double Negative a watch when you can.

If you buy into The Secret, maybe it would be a good idea to call your yet-to-be-released-or-even-submitted-for-awards-consideration special an “award winning special” and project what you might think critics will say about it.

Whether that’s the reason behind it or not, that is what Joe Mande is doing with his special and the accompanying trailer.

Please Enjoy Peyton Manning’s 2017 ESPYS Opening Monologue

July 14, 2017

Uncategorized

Peyton Manning continues to uphold his reputation as one of the most comedically reliable in all of professional sports.

He’s been a surprisingly good host on SNL and, just this past week, offered up a very solid opening monologue for this year’s ESPYS. There are some good burns as well as few slightly meta threads throughout that we’d guess that almost all pro athletes couldn’t get through in the tightly crafted 10 minutes.

See for yourself here.

Follow That! really does play a video that is almost perfectly designed to make you cry and has stand-up comedians see what they can do immediately afterwards.

It may sound cruel and unusual, but, as far as we have seen thus far, it has been a hell of a good time.

Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at door. Get your advance tickets here.
