John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show returns to Comedy Central for third season

Not only is John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show returning to Comedy Central this year for a third season, but he and the network are taping the showcases this weekend in NYC.

So if you’re in or near the city from March 10-12, 2012, you can ask for tickets to sit as part of the live studio audience as Oliver and his friends make funny.

Last year, I asked John Oliver how a comedian gets into his inner circle (or that of Comedy Central) to make it into his televised showcases.

But who’s going to be on the show this year, you ask?

Ta-da!
