Haven’t heard Bill Burr’s podcast itself (doing daily subway rides instead of daily car trips is dramatically cutting down my podcast listening), but it sounds like he’s hitting on the biggest divide in stand-up today.
Right now I buy into the idea that comics are all just playing the “sport” that fits their skills, and everybody should just go see/watch whoever makes them laugh.
Dana Gould, as Maurice Evans, as Dr. Zaius, as Hal Holbrook, as Mark Twain. With an introduction by John Hodgman.
I can’t handle this many wonderful personalities at one time.

Happy New Year! If you have any interest in comedy or LA, this blog I’m reblogging is the blog for you.
1) We vastly underestimated how long it would take make a list of 100 things, much less a list of 100 of the funniest things we were lucky enough to see last year, so please do enjoy for our sake The 100 Best Things in Comedy That We Were Witness To In No Particular Order of 2011.

The Meltdown comedy shows at FYF FEST were bonkers.

Mobile Madness - By Alex Schmidt
From AT&T to Verizon to even the lowly Jitterbug, Alex has issues with them all.
Hey friends! Streeter’s White Whine ran another bit of mine and illustrated it elegantly. Maybe one or two of you can relate to it, you know, if you’ve made the jump to using a cell phone?
Wait, what?
That’s my Ozzie!
Stand-up show tomorrow night at 10pm at The Hollywood Hotel bar! $5 cover and one drink minimum (PBRs are $3). Me and some other comics, hosted by Mr. J, should be a great time.
Hey!! This happened!! Congrats Sarah!!

Still doing shows 8/14 and 8/17 too. And I made a page for my various showdates and details, check it out for all the info you could possibly want about ways to see me clowning*.
*”Clowning” in the sense Marc Maron has been using it in. Although if I start wearing greasepaint and big shoes, I’ll let you know**.
**Even mentioning clowns makes me think of this Dana Gould impression of Morrissey slash parody song which you should listen to, it’s a great parody song***.
***For more parody songs in a “like the style of something else but still funny if you haven’t heard the original” style, try these gentlemen.
