TCB Debriefing 11/13/23: Best Comedy Album Grammy, Sometimes I Think About Dying, Tom Segura, Call Chelsea Peretti, Rachel Mac
November 13, 2023
News
best comedy album, chelsea peretti, grammys, sometimes i think about dying, tom segura

1. The 2024 Grammys Nominees for Best Comedy Album are:
Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would
Wanda Sykes: I’m An Entertainer
Chris Rock: Selective Outrage
Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love
Dave Chappelle: What’s in a Name?

In case you haven’t done so already, you can disregard the Recording Academy‘s opinion on comedy as this is their most blatant display of a popularity contest (even if there’s huffing and puffing about them getting “cancelled”) in the history of the Best Comedy Album category for The Grammys. Also, note that every one of these “albums” were promoted and consumed as a “special” and they didnt’ even try to pretend to throw some slightly less famous comedian a chance at winning.

2. Sometimes I Think About Dying might be the driest dark comedy in recent memory as well as a well earned pivot from Star Wars for Daisy Ridley and a break out role for the absolutely hysterical Dave Merheje. Take a gander for yourself with the official trailer here.

3. Tom Segura will be on the road all across the world for probably most of 2024 for his Come Together tour. It’s so big that he has only announced the first leg of the tour. Tickets go on sale 10AM local time with code TOMMY at tomsegura.com/TOUR.

4. Damn. Call Chelsea Peretti has returned (i.e. one of the greats, Chelsea Peretti, has also returned). IHeart letting Big Money Players kind of do whatever they want (considering they usually wheel and deal in Top 40) is still kind of unbelieveable. Get into new episodes of Call Chelsea Peretti wherever you get your podcasts now.

5. We’ll leave you with this: Rachel Mac’s Teacher of the Year is more deserving of a Grammy than the rest of that 2024 lot.

As the prospect of travel to more than wherever you can drive in your car becomes better and better, we fully expect to see comedy festivals pop up in some pretty exotic locales. Just For Laughs is already leading the way by taking themselves all the way on down from Canada to the sunny beaches of Cancún, Mexico.

From Nov. 3rd-7th, Jim Jefferies, Nicole Byer, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Ron Funches, Debra DiGiovanni, The Goddamn Comedy Jam, and more will be taking over to do comedy shows for what we normally thought of just as spring break destination. In addition to shows, there will be a whole package that provides 5-star resort accommodations, parties of all kinds, and other JFL exclusive events.

The early bird package prices for everything are starting at $859, but note that you will be fully refunded if the festivities get rescheduled due to COVID-19 (as that pesky pandemic is still not over).

Go get more details/book a package here.

Comedy power couple Tom Segura and Christina P also have, in case you didn’t know, a powerhouse podcast between them two called Your Mom’s House. The rise in popularity of Segura and P’s lives via their podcast has afforded them to bring in other podcasts into their fold and build their very own studio for the entire YMH’s family.

As the times of COVID-19 continue on like they have been, they can’t necessarily do a big live podcast in a packed venue, but they can do an edition of Your Mom’s House that, for the first time, is live and uncensored. If you’re acquainted Segura and Christina P, you ought to know that something special and (maybe not entirely family friendly) will happen.

So, Your Mom’s House: Live and Uncensored will happen Fri. Sept. 18th at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Tickets are $10.53 and you can and should go get them here.

Within comedy, some of the financially hardest hit groups by the COVID-19 pandemic include comedians making the majority of their money by touring and the venue staff at comedy clubs and venues.

To that point, one of LA’s biggest, oldest, most renown comedy institutions, The Comedy Store, will be holding a special, exclusive benefit for its staff and their paid regulars that have been out of work with the club having to go dark for several weeks. The Comedy Store Family Fund Benefit is set for this Tues. Apr. 21st at 5PM PT/8PM ET and will span 3 hours of many of the biggest names that regularly play the hallowed stages of The Comedy Store including Bill Burr, Tom Segura, and Whitney Cummings.

“It will air live as three separate 1 hour episodes on YouTube, Twitch and www.thecomedystore.com, followed by an “on demand” broadcast through The Comedy Store Channel on Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Roku and Xbox.”

Here’s a promo for The Comedy Store Family Fund for more details.

Tom Segura Set For Two Netflix Comedy Specials, One in English and One in Spanish
February 19, 2020

Tom Segura Set For Two Netflix Comedy Specials, One in English and One in Spanish

Arguably, doing comedy in another language other than your native tongue could be the highest mark of fluency in that language. Not only do you have to understand speech, grammar, pronunciation, slang, idioms, etc., but you have to be able to play with them in a way that’s particularly obtuse for comedy (oh yeah, you already have to be funny too). 

This is happening more and more these days with the likes of Gad Emaleh, Rafi Bastos, Carmen Lynch, and, of course, Eddie Izzard (he’s done some of his hours in at least three different languages if not more)

Tom Segura is indeed already one of the funniest comedians working today and has been bilingual for pretty much his whole life. So, it stands to reason that, in addition to a brand new English language stand-up special, that he would eventually do one in Spanish, which he is currently crafting right at this very moment.

The English special is set for Netflix streaming on Mar. 24th and the Spanish one will come out later this year. We’re so curious as to what that might be, sound like, feel like (though we’re sure Segura’s cutting observational humor will still shine through). 

Tom Segura & Christina Pazsitzky Get Put Pilot Order for “The Little Things” at CBS

Tom Segura & Christina Pazsitzky Get Put Pilot Order for “The Little Things” at CBS

Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky, both very funny stand-ups in their own right (go watch the four Netflix specials between the both of them in case you’re not familiar), are now in development for making a sitcom based on their lives married to each other and raising kids. 

Fans of their hit podcast Your Mom’s House ought to be especially excited as there is a decent chance you might get to see them together on screen in a scripted series as opposed to just a recording studio.

Also, we’ll be curious to see what they’ll be able to do/get away with over at CBS (or maybe CBS is getting set to be a tad bit more edgy with their sitcoms?).

Arguably, Tom Segura was one of the first comedians to really get catapulted into success (and rightfully so we might add) because of Netflix.

Even though Netflix has been chasing down the biggest names in comedy over the last couple of years, it is nice to see that they’re sticking by Tom as you can see in the trailer for this latest special, Disgraceful.

Look for Disgraceful to start streaming on Netflix on Friday, Jan. 12th.

The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival returns as one of the biggest comedy touring festivals ever. 

It’s interesting that they went with the bold red font for top billed acts and listed the line-up alphabetically instead of doing the traditional top-to-bottom-big-name-to-up-and-coming. It’s one way to be an oddball we suppose.

You can get your tickets here.

Nikki Glaser takes real life, hilarious comedian couple Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky and join in on a crash course on how to properly “peg” (the sex act, not what you do with jeans).

This is definitely NSFW if you had any doubts. Also, it’s more fantastic work from Not Safe with Nikki Glaser that you should be watching as soon as you can.

TruTV Orders Pilots from Tom Segura and Melissa Hunter

TruTV, keep doing what you’re doing.

In addition to the early renewal of Those Who Can’t yesterday, TruTV is continuing to bulk up their brand with the additions of a pilot deal and script from Tom Segura and Melissa Hunter, respectively. Segura is a great stand-up and you probably know Hunter better as Adult Wednesday Addams.

TruTV has Tom developing a medical comedy and Melissa working on a project centered on a “amateur vigilante squad”. There aren’t details beyond that, but we’ll be watching these and the rest of what TruTV has cooking because, from where we’re standing, it smells pretty good so far.

TruTV really wasn’t kidding with their rebranding.

Their portion of this year’s Upfronts consisted of an intriguing slate that includes a series order of Adam Conover’s Adam Ruins Everything, which should bring an air of funny bittersweetness to us all with Adam’s explanation of things we unfortunately take for granted, and a pilot from stand-up comedians and real life husband and wife Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky.

Along with Those Who Can’t and gaining Billy On The Street, TruTV’s line-up becomes more enticing everyday.

Some of you might know that comedians live lives that you would never guess based on their act and on stage persona. 

Tom Segura experienced a great example of that when he met successful, veteran comedian Bruce Bruce and got completely blindsided. Seriously.

This is the latest story for This Is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir and we can’t stress enough how out-of-left-field this story is especially since it doesn’t involve drugs, alcohol, violence, etc.
