OK, how often are you going to great a comedy benefit show that’s supporting Planned Parenthood that will be in the back of a comic book store that will have Mandy Moore and Colin Hanks on the bill AND have a fun name like Feliz Navipod?

As far as we know, it’s just The Feliz Navipod Holiday Variety Show! happening next Monday at Nerdmelt Showroom.

Tickets are $15 and you can (and should) get them here.

The big target of Last Week Tonight was the rampant and horrifying nature of online harassment of women from doxxing to outright death and rape threats to revenge porn.

Per usual, Oliver managed to wrap it up with great jokes and a clever thing they shot, which, for this week, is an update of the original AOL ad from 2015′s perspective with the talents of Rob Huebel and Colin Hanks.

Watch it all here.

Alison Brie & Colin Hanks To Star in Sci-Fi Indie Romantic Comedy

It’s your typical romantic comedy until some sci-fi twist is thrown into the line-up. Perhaps, this will be the genre that the entertainment industry will follow zombies/vampires/werwolves with.

With Brie and Hanks starring, this could be something to watch for.

13) Saw a “comic” point out noises instead of telling jokes or do ANYTHING because apparently we weren’t on board with his weirdness, which he didn’t approve of, and then cut and run right after his set. If he was trying to make sure that people won’t come to his shows where his name is on the bill, he’s doing a damn good job.
