6) So Ron Howard is making a live action Spy vs. Spy happen… [via Deadline]
7) If you’ve never been to Tony Sam’s Persona, you need to go. It’s groundbreaking and hilarious, but why have us tell you with words when you can see a video?
8) FYF Fest is giving away tickets!!! (it’s mostly music, but as they’ve advertised at the bottom right hand corner of their flyer, there is stand-up comedy scheduled)
9) For the entirety of next week, the whole Bureau will be up in Portland, OR on “vacation” (interpret that how you will). Do not worry as we will continue posting and tweeting during our stay, but we won’t be able to circle our Twitter feed like a vulture with nothing better to do to find all the great bits of comedy news and shows, etc. that you’re all probably used to. If you have a tip for a story, something to be possibly posted here, or a possible mention/plug of a show, e-mail thecomedybureau@gmail.com or tweet us @thecomedybureau.
