Morning Debriefing 11/15/10

November 15, 2010
Uncategorized
1739  public house, big trouble in little tokyo, casey's, cherry pit, club 705, comedy, comedy bureau, donate, eli braden, genghis cohen, ground zero usc, hermosa beach, hollywood, hollywood studio bar & grill, jeremy paul, keep it clean, la, los feliz, lower crust comedy, marty's the open mic, morning debriefing, orange, puka bar, Señor Fish, tribal cafe, What's Up Tiger Lily?

1) There is no such thing as the Library Cafe Open Mic in Los Angeles.  (Sidenote: there is a great open mic on Wed. at Library: A Coffee House in Long Beach)  This town is so disconnected, so uninformed within itself, and most importantly bad at promoting available stage time.  Talking to the owner of Library Cafe in LA, she explained that only the same few people kept coming and it wasn’t that great.  That is the result one gets when those “few people” keep an open mic secret, which can be understandable on their end, but this is what you should expect when you only tell a few friends to come on by.  Again, LA is so decentralized and unaware that if you want people to come, you have to tell EVERYONE, even if it is free stage time.  However, the Comedy Bureau will try to spread the word about new rooms/rooms no one’s ever heard of/rooms in Alhambra, etc. that most people won’t want to drive to.

2) Tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL is almost physically possible.  I’m sure this isn’t a stat anybody really cares about, but let’s see how much “Comedy Stamina” you really have.  Start off with a heavy laughs at What’s Up Tiger Lily? @ Hollywood Studio Bar and Grill 8PM FREE, then a few more big chuckles at Lower Crust Comedy @ Genghis Cohen 9PM $5, then a few more laughs and some smiles at Eli Braden @ Cherry Pit 9PM 749 W. Katella Ave., Orange, CA, and then finish off with mad dash of guffaws at  Keep It Clean Comedy @ 1739 Public House 10PM FREE.

3) OPEN MIC RUN: CLUB 705/705 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach, CA/7ishPM/10 min. stage time at least, PUKA BAR/710 W. Willow St., Long Beach, CA/8PM, CASEY’S/613 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA (downtown)/Sign-up (lottery) 8PM/Starts 8:30PM, TRIBAL CAFE/1651 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, CA (echo park)/8PM, GROUND ZERO CAFE/615 Childs Way, Los Angeles, CA (USC)/USC student Sign-up 9PM/Non Student Sign-up 9:15PM/Starts 9:30PM, MARTY’S/THE OPEN MIC 7351 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA (walk up Martel past Big Mama’s and Papa’s)/5PM to 11PM/$5 Cover/Free coffee & water.

4) The Comedy Bureau tips its hat to none other than Jeremy Paul for sharing this gem "My HMO does not cover titty glitter.“  He keeps saying he is going to die, but he’s going to be funny while doing it.  Also, he wants to have his comedy special taped at the Alamo.  Follow all of his hopes, dreams, and nightmares here.

5) Big Trouble in Little Tokyo 2nd Edition @ Señor Fish is TOMORROW! Comedy, $2 fish tacos, raffles, $3 domestic/$4 imported beers, three mics/three mic stands, and a  whole lot more fun surprises.  422 E. 1st St., Los Angeles (in, you guessed it, Little Tokyo) Sign up 6:30PM, Starts 7PM.  Do not miss.

6) Well, well, well… if you were wondering A) who writes this blog? B) Where can I see this person perform?  C) I know who writes this blog, but when is he ever actually doing a show? D) Why does this person do this to himself?  I have all the answers TONIGHT.  Go to Keep It Clean @ 1739 Public House (1739 N. Vermont Ave. in Los Feliz) 10PM FREE.  (yeah… that means I’m doing the show, so please come, and also get your answers to any of those questions that I’m sure all of you had)

7) As I’ll be performing and acting as the Comedy Bureau simultaneously, I’ll be trying to simultaneously live tweet at with my own personal account here, which only few people follow because it’s most like suicide jokes, and the actual Comedy Bureau account, which people actually like here.  Follow both and see what happens.

8) Donate because I’d like to say, "This shit ain’t free, ya know?!?” but unfortunately can’t, because it is…. Please donate and I’ll write something better next time.

9) I’d like to believe that comedy is largely derived from finding the fallacy in what’s accepted, especially since I do stand up comedy and no one ever told me I was funny while growing up.
