The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Louis CK could care less about which talk show he’s on, just so long as people are watching. Which is why he returned to Leno last night, and had no problems revealing just how much he loved taking Percocet for a back injury — so much so that he indulged …
From Conan O’Brien’s lips to your ears and eyes: Last night, he said that Reggie Watts would be taping tonight’s free show at NYC’s Central Park SummerStage (with opener Natasha Leggero). Hmmm. Interesting. We like this! But first. Watts returned to Conan to do what he does best, which is …
How are we still talking about the latest dumb thing to come out of Tracy Morgan’s mouth? Because he wasn’t kidding about getting you pregnant behind the dumpster, but stabbing a fictional son for being gay. And even more so because one gay fan’s Facebook post reacting to Morgan got …
You may have seen Jim Tavare on the sitcom Wings many moons ago, on NBC’s Last Comic Standing more recently than that, or even in a comedy club near you. He’s difficult to forget. Bald guy. In black tie. Playing the cello. So what happens when another British guy does …

It’s also the final weekend for his successful one-man show, Mike Birbiglia’s My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend, enjoying an off-Broadway run at the Barrow Street Theatre. Here’s ticket info for the final weekend of shows June 24-25, 2011. Birbigs won the Lucille Lortel Award …
Tough case of the Mondays for fans of sports-themed comedy news programs, as Comedy Central decided not to renew either of its new series — canceling both Sports Show with Norm Macdonald and Onion SportsDome. I cannot say I’m surprised. More people were watching A&E’s Storage Wars than they were …
A year after they released the pilot for Kid Farm, Jamie Lee, Pete Holmes and the Front Page Films gang are back with a full Atom.com webseries about the family that just keeps on reproducing. No, not the Duggars of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting. It’s Bill and Jean Engvall. …
