Hipsters aren’t known for their humor. Supercilious attitudes, yes. Skinny jeans, yes. A dislike for anything popular, yes. But humor, not so much. The vaudeville comedy troupe Disney Herpes descended on Flicker last night to the delight of Athenian hipsters, but no one else. Led by musician Dave Barnes, brother of the of Montreal frontman [...]
My night with Greg Proops didn’t have a laughing start. After some miscommunication with getting into the theatre, waiting alone for over an hour and eventually realizing I would miss the 10 o’clock airing of “American Horror Story,” I was ready to give up on comedy. But then Marshall Chiles – Proops’s opening act and [...]
It all started on a man date. Middle school buddies and fellow comedians Dave Ahdoot and Ethan Fixell decided they needed girlfriends. So, naturally, they posted a video on YouTube and an ad on Craigslist to invite anyone interested to go on a double date with the duo, and, naturally, over 200 pairs of women [...]
Greg Proops was bred for comedy. Before achieving fame as a star on “Whose Line is it Anyway?,” Proops’ comedic chops were being flexed on an Arizona playground. “I was always outside because I got in trouble all the time joking about the teacher,” he said. “I’ve always known that I wanted to be performing [...]
Last month, TJ Young left Athens for New York. “There’s a lot of shows going on in New York and there’s a lot of comedians, so there’s just a lot more opportunity,” he said. “I’m getting to see a lot of good comedy, challenge myself and learn a lot.” But Young is already on his [...]
Nate Bargatze wasn’t planning on doing anything crazy. “I had always thought about doing comedy, but nothing crazy,” he said. “I had never planned to move anywhere for it.” Things changed when a friend of Bargatze’s moved to Chicago – and he tagged along. Originally from Nashville, Bargatze got his start in comedy in Chicago [...]
I’m not one of those super bubbly people who laughs at everything. I don’t even really like to include “LOL” in my texts because I feel like it’s so far from the truth. I chuckled, maybe. More likely, just smirked. I’ve always been hesitant with live stand-up comedy as a result. I don’t want to [...]
Whoever thinks masturbation and penis jokes are immature and crass: beware. That they may be, but watching Brian Posehn tell ‘em, I laughed, really — to the point I could feel my abs clinch. I knew it was going to be a good time when he said to start, “Just so you know, you can take [...]
Brian Posehn puts it all on the table. His humor is self-described as “silly, dry, dirty, real and too truthful maybe,” and he’s the kind of guy that finds nuggets of humor in his daily life – even if it embarrasses his wife. “Like on my first record, my dog licking my wife’s private parts [...]
The jokes don’t stop. In an email interview with The Red & Black, Dan Deacon — member of the Wham City Comedy Tour, which as been touring nationally since 2010 — discussed his perspective on the show … and follicular desires. The Red & Black: The press release states, “Baltimore’s Wham City collective is heading [...]
