The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Want to see some of the comedians who performed at the 2011 Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival? I talked to them about what makes Mirman’s festival so special, and asked them to read their bios that Mirman had written for them in the festival program. Fun times. You’ll learn a fun …
So, let's talk Delocated! The first-season finale aired overnight on Adult Swim, and cliffhanger alert! Am I right? Anyhow. If you missed, I shall not spoil it for you, and neither will the network, because the episode isn't online yet. Better for you, though, because you can still catch the …
Location, location, location. That's the mantra in real estate, and perhaps the folks at Adult Swim followed it by choosing Bleecker and Lafayette as the setting for their larger-than-life advertisement for Delcoated, the very funny new short series that airs on Thursday nights. (Thanks, Aziz) You can catch up with …

The funniest thing I’ve seen on Sony’s CSpot just so happens to have been filmed in my neighborhood this summer. Coincidence? Who cares.

Why would anyone mourn a venue that’s essentially a dive bar with inconsistent air conditioning, horribly horrible bathrooms, a movie screen that had a massive tear in it (until, ha-ha, this past week!) for a place that still had a sign outside boasting it was Cinema Classics, and really, all …
After we all saw the deliriously delicious sight of political parody band Detroit Octane perform "Barack Obama-Sistable" on TV for Conan O’Brien, we wondered — OK, maybe just a few wondered — what could possibly follow that up? Well, lead singer Keith Garrity has produced a solo effort that combines …
Conan O’Brien has welcomed some beautiful musical moments on his late-night TV show and some truly rocking bands. And then on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, he had Detroit Octane on the program. And he even introduced them as a parody act. Amazingly, this was perhaps the third time …
