Pick of the Day: Mint Comedy x Comedy Cellar 1/1/21

December 30, 2020

No matter how lauded or venerable it may be, seeing any comedy venue survive these times is a blessing. There have been plenty of closures of celebrated comedy institutions around the country and there will very likely be more as the latest stimulus bill will likely fall short of what many venues need in terms of relief.

With that in mind, it’s great to see that The Comedy Cellar, one of the most respected comedy clubs in the country, is still standing as they get ready to earnestly put on a new round of virtual shows via Mint Comedy.

The very first one of these will happen on the first day of the new year at 12PM PT/3PM ET. The line-up is worthy of you being up that early post-NYE with Sean Patton, Dan Soder, Jessica Kirson, Mike Yard, Matthew Broussard, and Cipha Sounds (the sort of line-up that you’d see at the Cellar in the before times)

Tickets for live-stream access are only $7.99 and you can (and should) get them here.

Well, Christmas Eve is tomorrow and, just like the before times, there are very few comedy shows going on. Yet, there are a handful, which is especially nice in these times where will be as isolated as we’ve ever been in our collective lifetimes and, ostensibly, even less things will be happening as we continue to shelter-at-home.

Gotham Comedy Club in NYC has had a holiday-ish themed comedy show, A Very Jewish Christmas, for decades and they’re going to uphold their tradition to mark a quarter of a century of having a very inclusive holiday comedy show. This virtual edition, presented by RushTix, will feature the likes of NYC’s finest including Monroe Martin, Mike Yard, Jared Freid, and Marion Grodin on Christmas Eve at 5PM PT/8PM ET.

Tickets are $20 and you can snag them here.

“The Nightly Show” and Judd Apatow on “The Tonight Show” Torched Bill Cosby

As Hannibal Buress really brought to light the allegations of Bill Cosby’s rapes and sexual assaults, comedy was certainly going to keep that torch burning after that damning 2005 deposition was recently released in full.

So, The Nightly Show pretty much dedicated their entire show last night to taking down Cosby with a few, great incendiary bars rapped by The Nightly Show’s own Holly Walker…

…Larry’s opening segment going through the aforementioned 2005 deposition…

…and having a panel really break down why everyone needs to let go of their nostalgia of Bill Cosby.

Then, on The Tonight Show, a show that Bill Cosby has very memorably frequented over decades, let Judd Apatow do a stand-up set where he closed with a fine, scorching send-up of Cosby.

In case you weren’t aware, comedy isn’t going to let one of its former heroes have a mere fall from grace. Rather, it’s going to kick him all the way down and keep kicking.

As the premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore is looming (Jan. 19th at 11:30PM on Comedy Central), we’re all getting a better sense of how the show is shaping up.

For instance, they have just announced three contributors of The Nightly Show, which are the multi-hyphenate comedians Shenaz Treasury, Ricky Velez, and Mike Yard.

How they’ll contribute and how close that’ll be to Daily Show correspondent pieces and segments in studio has yet to be seen, but we’re throughly intrigued into how the “nightlyness” will play out.
