Watch Marina Franklin Do Stand-Up on Colbert

For awhile, we were worried that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was going to forego having stand-up. However, the show has gotten into a rhythm over the last few months of featuring comedians, both accomplished and ones that you definitely should get to know.    

NYC’s Marina Franklin is the latest to take the stage at The Ed Sullivan Theater and keep up the stand-up tradition that Letterman originally had going. 

Watch her set here.

Nick Youssef’s Latest Album “1982″ Out Now

Nick Youssef has just come out with his follow up to his solid debut album Stop Not Owning This, 1982 (a riff on Taylor Swift’s album title “1989″ perhaps?).

For this hour, Youssef examines making it out of his 20s into his 30s. It’s well trodden territory for comedy, but Nick delivers it effortlessly with such painstaking, colorful detail that it does stand out from the pack. He also balances poking fun at millennials and those even younger for all their shortcomings as well as throwing himself under the bus as a pretentious coffee addict. From start to finish, 1982 flows together so well almost like you just watched a “slice-of-life” indie flick of Youssef’s life these days. 

You can 1982 off of iTunes now.

Usually, Harland Williams opts for panel interviews and gets really “out there” with his ideas and general thought process when on talk shows. Just watch and clip of him chatting with Conan O’Brien for proof.

Last night on The Tonight Show, Harland showed us that he could also do stand-up and be just as weird and wonderful when on the couch in an interview.

Watch his set here.
