those who cant

At this point of the pandemic, we’re so glad to find many of our favorite things in comedy surviving in tact and coming out thriving on the other end. One of those things is one of the best comedy festivals around, Denver’s High Plains Comedy Festival, founded by one of the funniest working comedians/podcasters/authors/actors today, Adam Cayton-Holland. We talk with Adam about keeping the very beloved High Plains Comedy Festival as well as his own comedy on track through some of the most insane years in all of our lives.

Also, “hot” takes on Creative Arts Emmys winners and Tiffany Haddish having to apologize for sketch comedy scandal.

For two seasons, The Grawlix (Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy, and Andrew Orvedahl), Maria Thayer, and Rory Scovel have made a dysfunctional, yet fictional high school seem like a pretty splendid place to be.

As the premiere of their third season on Monday, January 14th, 2019 approaches, the administrative gang of Smoot High looks to do it once again, perhaps topping themselves this time around.

In just their first season, Those Who Can’t proved to be another pillar on TruTV’s programming line-up.

With the trailer for season 2, it looks they’ll be continuing to legitimize TruTV’s standing as a comedy cable network with a little help from the one and only Cheri Oteri playing a new principal.

Look for the season premiere of Those Who Can’t on Thursday, October 6th at 10:30PM on TruTV.

Reunited brings together a faux panel of a fake sitcom where the guests have no idea what the show was, who they played, or what happened that perhaps tore them apart.

This edition at the Nerdmelt Showroom on Saturday, July 30th will be particularly fun as actually cast members from TruTV’s actual sitcom Those Who Can’t will be on the show.

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

When we used “one hell of a…” in the headline, we didn’t mean that in a good way.

Those Who Can’t’s latest episode has all of the teachers being forced into going to prom to make up for the utter disaster that it was last year.

Of course, this prom that’s in the works doesn’t seem much better at all since they’re more concerned with their dates than the actual running of the prom meant for the students.

The literally game changing halftime speech is a requirement for all sports movie.

When it comes to a satirical series following HS teachers barely getting by, the halftime speech probably doesn’t get a team riled up at all.

Watch such a speech from Those Who Can’t’s Andy Fairbell.
