The annual Vulture Festival is probably one of the best collections of panels, screenings, and other strange, but splendid events with cast/creators/icons/etc. (several of whom are comedy folks) who are deep in the cultural zeitgeist (i.e. an AIM chat with PEN15 stars and co-creators Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle that they did last year).

So, ever the inventive festival, Vulture is going virtual with Vulture Festival: In The Nest for this year and they will feature yet another very impressive stack of live-streamed events including:

Rachel Bloom in conversation with her fifth-grade bully
Vulture Honorary Degree: Whoopi Goldberg
The Winkler Method: A Henry Winkler Acting Class
State of the Union with Samantha Bee and Rebecca Traister
Screening of HBO’s new series How To with John Wilson
A Night with The New Girl Boys

This time, we’re all blessed with not having to find parking in or around The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood Blvd. and rushing in and around from room to room so you won’t miss too much of any one of these events.

Vulture Festival: In The Nest is set for Mon. Oct. 26th-Fri. Oct. 30th and passes are on sale now starting at $30. Go snag ’em here.

It really takes a special kind of comedian to be worthy of a documentary that puts their life, both on and off stage, under the microscope.

Gilbert Gottfried is definitely one of those comedians.

The upcoming documentary Gilbert from Neil Berkeley will not only looks into the long, winding, storied career of Gottfried, but show what he’s like in between being the unmistakable voice on stage and screen. In fact, you get to hear what his real voice sounds like.

See for yourself in the trailer.

Gilbert starts playing in NYC on November 3rd and in LA on November 10th.
