So, state by state, it seems as though new restrictive voting laws are being put in place and enacting how little the voting body of this country is and who gets to be part of it (Florida is the latest perpetrator, FYI). Don’t be mistaken; it’s turning back the clock of history and moving forward as a society.

With that in mind, one should always be in attendance and support the marvelous comedy show Looking Forward to It with Josh Gondelman as it is a show dedicated to both continuing the fight for voter engagement and representation in the very crucial years to come and give you a top shelf night of comedy. This month, one of the most effervescent comedians around, Josh Gondelman, will assemble the brilliance of David Wain, Sara Schaefer, Khalid Rahmaan, Alison Leiby, and Dan Fox and raising money for the amazing efforts of Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight.

Get in on the fun and the fight with your tickets (starting at a $20 suggested donation) here. This edition of Looking Forward to It with Josh Gondelman goes live on Mon. May 10th at 5PM PT/8PM ET, presented by Nowhere Comedy Club on Zoom.

Pick of the Day: Make My Day with Josh Gondelman 12/3

While the election is over and Trump is due for a harsh exit, the air still hangs slightly heavy as to what to do or what will come next, especially as COVID-19 still plagues our lives quite literally. For now, there are still small things you can do, even just make a single person’s day better in some way, shape, or fashion.

Also, you can watch comedians attempt to do that very thing for one of the kindest comedians around, Josh Gondelman, for a special live version of Gondelman’s podcast, Make My Day. The podcast indeed has comedians, in a game show format, try to cheer Gondelman up. 2020 has made that quite a feat no matter who it is, but it can be a whole hell of a lot of fun watching comedians, some of the most critical people on the planet, do it for other comedians.

There will be a very special live-stream edition of Make My Day on Thurs. Dec. 3rd at 5PM PT/8PM ET with the likes of other very kind hearted comedians Gary Gulman and Emmy Blotnick joining in the quest to cheer Josh up. Littlefield NYC will be virtually hosting and donations ($10 suggested) will be accepted for live-stream access. Also, a portion of donations will go towards Fair Fight, an org fiercely dedicated to defending voting rights.

Please go get your tickets for what might be one of the more heartwarming comedy live-streams you’ve seen in awhile and support a crucial cause.

“Last Week Tonight” Gave Us an Update on The Voting Rights of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa  (You Know, Those U.S. Territories)

John Oliver and his team at Last Week Tonight showed us again what we’re missing.

The voting rights of U.S. territories that, for some reason, have not reached statehood despite considerable populations isn’t necessarily, at first glance, something that is ripe for a comedy show. Yet, Oliver curates plenty of funny moments to get this very niche topic that’s rarely been discussed to show why he’s going to be at HBO for a very long time.

Watch it here.
