Over the last few weeks, the tides of late night have shifted towards doing in studio tapings again (though that’s not all of them quite yet).

For Fallon and The Tonight Show gang, there have been back in Studio 6B in 30 Rock and have just started featuring live stand-up on their stage once more (as opposed to being done remotely on a ferry or in some other club in a different state or an outdoor show). They recently had Mike Vecchione as the first comedian to perform yards away from Jimmy and, last night, Mary Beth Barone delivered a terrific set that very much feels like a throwback to pre-pandemic times (hearing other people laugh not through Zoom and the like), yet is so wryly and cleverly of the moment.

Please enjoy Mary Beth’s set here.

With stand-up comedy getting its footing with outdoor shows (wherever they can happen), it was inevitable that a network would make a run at trying to film it in order to have some brand new stand-up content.

Comedy Central went ahead and did another round of their popular stand-up digital series Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring in NYC with a socially distant, masked audience (probably done a little safer than SNL form the looks of it) taped outside. The trailer for this latest batch of exclusive stand-up showcase sets almost resemble something like normal, before-times stand-up, but, of course, the material and the cutaways to the crowd are very much of the moment of the COVID-19 pandemic we’re in right now.

Rosebud Baker, Mary Beth Barone, Brittany Carney, Christi Chiello, Andy Haynes, Josh Johnson, Ismael Loutfi, Gavin Matts, Monroe Martin, Rebecca O’Neal and Eagle Witt all got to take the stage for this very special edition of CC’s digital stand-up series and will very likely have set a precedent of what stand-up comedy will look like for awhile.

Take a look for yourself with the trailer for this round of Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring here, then look for it to start streaming on Comedy Central’s Stand-Up YouTube channel every week starting Dec. 1st.

To keep in the Halloween spirit (and do a show safely while the pandemic still rages on), Drew Anderson and Julia Shiplett are putting together a very special, very exclusive live reading of their comedy pilot, SALEM.

You may not get to do trick-or-treating or endless party-hopping, but you can tune in what might be the perfect comedy thing for this Halloween season. They describe it as:

Mere days before Salem’s 10th Annual Harvest Festival, something strange happens that derails the big day and makes everyone start to question if there could be a witch among them. If you’ve ever wondered what THE CRUCIBLE meets THE OFFICE but very gay would be like, SALEM is your answer.

Supported by many of the very best comedy folks from all over the country including: Mary Beth Barone, Carmen Christopher, Drew Droege, Robby Hoffman, Molly Kearney, Langston Kerman, Marty Miller, Aparna Nancherla, Larry Owens, Rachel Sennott, Karolena Theresa, Sydnee Washington, and Ben Wasserman

SALEM is set to go live on Wed. Oct. 28th at 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET. RSVP for Zoom link w/a suggested donation of $5-$10 here.

Mary Beth Barone’s daring PSA/talk show Drag His Ass: a f*ckboy treatment program about f*ckboys and how to get off of them (both literally and figuratively) was one of our favorite things that we saw in 2019.

So, naturally, we’re going to tell you to go to the latest edition of Drag His Ass, which is perfectly right before Valentine’s Day. Get tickets here.

In case these times haven’t made a clear, the time for f*ckboys is over. Mary Beth Barone is bringing her show Drag His Ass: A F*ckboy Treatment Program across the country once more to further this sentiment via sharing damning stories, observations, and more on f*ckboys.

Barone has a great line-up taking f*ckboys to task, as you can see above, for this edition at Dynasty Typewriter this Thursday. It really ought to be a satisfying, hilarious evening that’s probably long overdue for those deserving f*ckboys
