<p>Wednesday Sep 30 2009  A Programmer Shift at the 92YTribeca</p>
<p>Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 4:17PM  The 92YTribeca's comedy programmer, Bart Coleman, recently packed up all his programs and relocated to Los Angeles to work on the upcoming Wanda Sykes Show on FOX. Since the 92YT frequently put on all-star line-ups only a nuanced and well-connected comedy maven could book, we were curious about the fate and direction of their programming in light of Bart's departure. A spokeslady for the venue tells us:</p>
<p>> We're incredibly happy for Bart and grateful for all he’s done to make Comedy Below Canal what it is. He'll still be involved as an advisor in the transition, and we're close to naming our new consultant. Comedy at 92YTribeca will continue to be full of big names and big surprises as we start the new season.</p>
<p>Any ideas on whose names are in the hat?</p>
<p>Comedy Below Canal starts up again on October 15th with Wyatt Cenac, John Oliver and Che Grand.</p>

<p>Yesterday, my boyfriend Seth was running sound for an interview with comedy legend Joan Rivers (he's working with Break-Thru Films on a documentary called "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work").</p>
<p>Having watched me watch my fair share of QVC, Seth pointed out to Ms. Rivers that the necklace she was wearing in the interview was one that I had once expressed interest in. In response, Ms. Rivers quickly removed it from her neck and handed it him: "Give it to your girlfriend," she said. What a peach!</p>
<p>Naturally, I took the necklace out for a night on the town (meaning I slapped on some lipstick and danced around my apartment snapping pictures of myself). Everyone (in my head) kept complimenting me on it. It's my lucky charm. I can feel it rubbing off on me. In fact, my neck is pretty irritated this morning. Okay, off to the appraisers. "I'm no trashy poka' player, but I bet this thing is real rubies."</p>

<p>keithhuang | Post a Comment Tuesday Sep 29 2009  Brent Weinbach Opens 10th Season of Chicago's Lincoln Lodge</p>
<p>Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 10:30AM  Photo: Seth Olenick The Lincoln Lodge, Chicago’s longest running stand-up and variety showcase, begins its 10th season this Thursday, October 1. To kick off the season, they will be welcoming alt king Brent Weinbach, performing Thursday. A few CHI comics interrogated Weinbach in anticipation for his visit to the ol’ pancake house.</p>
<p>CHI expat and current Saturday Night Live writer Hannibal Buress would like you to name your three least favorite Mongolian people, and also wonders: "Camel milk or llama milk?"</p>
<p>BW: My three least favorite Mongolians are Paris Hilton because she's a bad role model for young girls, this guy named Larry because he's really sleazy trying to hit on me every Thursday at Gold's Gym, and Ike from What's Love Got To Do With It because he's the main villain in that movie. You don't think these people are Mongolian? They are indeed Mongolian. We are all Mongolian, deep down inside. Also, I pick camel milk, because I like the way camels look. They seem like good ol' boys. I want to drink the milk of a good ol' boy.</p>
<p>Stand-up comic Adam Burke, also performing at the Lincoln Lodge Thursday, wants to know your thoughts on the following: "Brent, you're the recipient of an Andy Kaufman award. Wouldn't it have been more Kaufmanesque if Andy Kaufman had won it?"</p>
<p>BW: Perhaps Andy Kaufman did win the award. Perhaps he faked his death and Brent Weinbach is another one of his characters. I'm not going to say for sure, because I don't want to give anything away. But more likely, R. Kelly is actually Andy Kaufman. R. Kelly is so funny and hilarious. Andy Kaufman faked his death and created the character R. Kelly for comedic purposes.</p>
<p>Stand-up comic, screenwriter, and co-producer of Chicago Underground Comedy Dan Telfer presents to you the following scenario: "If the United Nations sent a limo to your house, took you to a remote location blindfolded, sat you down, and asked you if you would go on a secret mission to fuck the moon... like, use its surface as frictional material to achieve climax.... would you accept? For America?"</p>
<p>BW: If I had sex with the moon, would I still be considered a virgin? Also, what if the moon has germs? What if the moon gave me a disease and my penis turned into cheese and it had holes in it and a mouse was going to bite it off? Once, I had a dream that this circus guy showed an audience a cute little mouse getting a boner and ejaculating. The semen got all over the mouse and turned it into a mutated rat. It was a wet dream. I was the mouse. These are the kinds of dreams that virgins who don't masturbate have.</p>
<p>Lincoln Lodge cast member Paul Sigwerth would like to compare notes on the following: "How many Pee Wee Herman impressions does it take to empty a room in Dubuque, Iowa?"</p>
<p>BW: When I was younger, I thought Pee Wee Herman was corny and I didn't watch Pee Wee's Playhouse. But when I got older, I watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure and I really liked it and now I want to see Pee Wee's Playhouse because I think I might like it at this stage in my life. I never thought Pee Wee Herman was gay, but recently, my friend kept telling me he was gay, and I saw this interview with Pee Wee live, and now I think that maybe he's gay.</p>
<p>And finally, stand-up comic and Blewt! member Bryan Bowden is curious, "Which of the following are you too sexy for: shirt, Milan, car, hat, or love?"</p>
<p>BW: I'm not too sexy for Milan, but I am too sexy for Disney's Mulan. In fact, I've been too sexy for anything that came out after Aladdin. But my favorite Disney animated film, that is, the one I'm the most not sexy for, is Pinocchio. I really identify with Pinocchio because it's about going through puberty and horrors of a changing body. Also, once, I saw this older Filipino woman wearing a shirt that read, "I'm too sexy for this shirt. Not!"</p>
<p>Brent Weinbach headlines The Lincoln Lodge, 4008 N. Lincoln, Chicago, on Thursday, October 1, 9 p.m. Natasha Leggero (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Chelsea Lately) headlines Friday, October 2, 9 p.m. Tickets $13 at the door or online. Reservations highly recommended.</p>

The Librarianist | Post a Comment tagged Colours , Fart Jokes , Web Comics in Colours Friday Sep 25 2009  Red Carpet Premiere of 'The Cleveland Show' @ The NYTVF - 9.24.9 - By: Matt Fried</p>
<p>Friday, September 25, 2009 at 11:11AM</p>
<p>Cleveland Brown--perhaps White America's most beloved African-American neighbor since Steve Urkel--gets the hell out of Dodge (or, in this case, Quahog, Rhode Island) and heads to much greener pastures: Stoolbend, Virginia, his new home on The Family Guy spin-off series. Divorced, distraught, and determined for something better, Cleveland packs up his 14 year-old overweight son, Cleveland Jr., and heads to Stoolbend, only to reunite with his old high school flame, Donna Tubbs, and start his new life as a husband and stepfather. For Family Guy purists, do not fret: The Cleveland Show's sense of humor still runs on its forefather's formula--just keep throwing the cutaway gags at 'em. But what is different about The Cleveland Show is it's not a runaway train, powered by the rich natural resource of Kathleen Turner jokes. The plot is remarkably solid, and the show's structure and tone are reminiscent of more "modern classic" fare, like The Cosby Show. Cleveland gets the shot he deserves at being a leading man without being reduced to a two-dimensional joke. His cast of supporting characters--which includes a redneck, a midget yuppie, and a talking Born-Again Christian bear--are far more grounded and lovable, way less "wokka-wokka."</p>
<p>At its New York Television Festival screening, the show's creators confirmed that they are already 29 episodes deep into production, meaning that we will most likely get to see a season two of The Cleveland Show (or a very expensive DVD box set, as joked by executive producer Richard Appel). If the pilot episode has hinted at anything, then audiences have much to look forward to from Cleveland Brown and his new show. But just to be on the safe side: do Cleveland a solid, and say a prayer to Fraiser Crane, the almighty spin-off god. --Matt Fried</p>
