Pick of the Day: Everything is Terrible! (in LA & NYC) 2/3 & 2/26

December 31, 2021

The last two years have been some of the worst on record for everyone alive right now (if they are not actually, in fact, the very worst). The hours are ticking away in America to greet 2022 and the normal sort of routine fanfare that comes with New Year’s Eve is, at this point, unsurprisingly not at the fever pitch that it has been in, perhaps, 2014.

With that in mind, perhaps the thing to look forward to is video and performance art collective Everything Is Terrible! going on tour with slicing, dicing, and mashing up all the weirdest bits of DVD and VHS ephemera they could possible find into a hilarious, mind-bending, absurdist dream scape. This specific outing by EIT, The Kidz Klub Tour, will be grinding up the best of media from decades past that was engineered for kids, but has not aged all that well.

Also, above everything else, isn’t it fitting to look forward to something called Everything Is Terrible (though rest assured the show will be an amazing trip fantastic through the overlooked nostalgia of our youth and not literally terrible). EIT will be stopping through both LA and NYC this February (so, it’ll likely still happen).

Everything Is Terrible’s The Kidz Klub Tour will hit the Lodge Room in LA on Thurs. Feb. 3rd at 8PM PT with tickets for $22 and the Bell House on Sat. Feb. 26th at 7:30PM ET & 10:30PM ET with tickets for $20 a pop. Go get them now while everything still feels terrible and make yourself, consequently, feel a little less terrible.

If there ever was a year to celebrate the 10th birthday of something called Everything Is Terrible, it’d be this year. 

Next week, join the satirical video art collective to mark the occasion with a big live show at The Regent. Tickets are $20-$24 and you can (and should) get tickets here.

Out of the video archives from some of our favorite folks that put their comedy stylings into the ether of YouTube/Vimeo/etc. will come this special DTLA “video showcase”, The Canary Underground.

It’s put together by Grimy Ghost’s Derek Qxqx and we’re sure that you’ll get to see some potentially life changing comedy before most of the world wide web.

Tickets are $5 and you can get more details here.

David Lewandowski Releases “time for sushi”, the Follow Up to Joyfully Non-Sensical “going to the store”

In 2011, we saw this gem “going to the store” from David Lewandowski on Channel 101. Trying to explain it without weirding people for how abstract is, we just try to let people enjoy how silly it is sans context much like we did when we first saw it.

Now, Lewandowski has a follow-up that expands on “going to the store” and even ascends to something that’s a little sublime.

So, without further adieu, enjoy ‘time for sushi”. 

Vic Berger’s Latest Steve Harvey Remix Shows Harvey Having to Host Family Feud for Eternity

We’re on the precipice of 2017 and leaving 2016. 

For several people, that change is met with an angrily muttering of “good riddance!”

For Steve Harvey in this latest mash-up/remix done by Vic Berger for Super Deluxe, the changing of the years doesn’t seem to matter as hosting Family Feud has taken on a more Sisyphean task.

MOCA + Rory Scovel = Art + Comedy = Rory’s “Everywhere at Once”

MOCA, The Museum Of Contemporary Art here in LA, has started an initiative to meld the worlds of art and comedy by reaching out to comedians for collaborations. This initiative is very succinctly called Art + Comedy.

So, they worked with the amazing Rory Scovel and Rory came up with his video art piece “Everywhere at Once” which we think hits the intersection of high art and comedy that MOCA is looking for.

Watch Everywhere at Once here (or wherever you are).
