“THE RETURN OF JIM HENSON…”

This is exactly why I love The Midnight Show.

paymanbenz:

Here is the newest Midnight Show video I directed: THE MUPPETS ARE GROSS.  It was written by Heather Anne Campbell, and features Heather, Jeff Sloniker, Nic Wegener (as Kermit) and Eric Moneypenny.

Check it out, like, comment, reblog, thumbs up, send cash. Thanks!

IT’S HERE!

…. and it looks so, so good.

While I’ll have a formal sale info and all that on Wednesday, here’s some preliminary information:

  • The sale link will be up on Wednesday here, you will see a link to the book at the bottom of the page. 
  • It will be $80. 
  • Please do yourself a favor and use one of the coupon codes found here. 

SAVE THE DATE.

I will be holding a little gallery showing of prints from the book (and a few not in the book) on Friday, December 9th in Culver City from 6p to 8pm. While I won’t have any books for sale (unless someone wants to front me $300 to buy them in advance), you will have the opportunity to buy whatever is on the wall.

Don’t worry, they will be large, framed and very pretty.

There will also be plenty o’ beer on hand. 

Stay tuned for further details.

UCB-NY | UCB East | 10.21.11

I had the privilege of visiting UCB East last week, and let me tell ya, it’s a nice little venue. Especially the bar part…. it’s pretty much a perfect place for the comedy nerds to pick up on other comedy nerds gather.  Their green room, however, is a hot sauna of miserableness. I hope they get some ventilation in there soon so it’s usable.

(you will eventually see more photos here… whenever I get to editing the rest of my weekend in NY)

Yep, I did take that photo for this article, and looks like they didn’t credit me.
Thanks AV Club!

In 1996, four Chicago-based improv comics—Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts—got together to form the group that would become the Upright Citizens Brigade. Fifteen years later, UCB has expanded to the point where its New York and L.A. theaters, as well as its website, are among the top places to recruit future comedy stars. Dozens of today’s comedy stars cut their comedic teeth at UCB, including Paul Scheer, Jack McBrayer, Aubrey Plaza, Nick Kroll, Aziz Ansari, Rob Riggle, and Rob Corrdry. As for the founders, they’ve also done well: Poehler has parlayed a long stint on Saturday Night Live into a starring role on the critically acclaimed NBC sitcom Parks And Recreation, and Besser, Walsh, and Roberts have done memorable guest roles on a number of shows. Last month, the UCB machine expanded further, this time into radio, with Live From UCB airing Saturday nights on Sirius XM’s Raw Dog Comedy channel. Poehler, Besser, and Walsh talked to The A.V. Club about what shows from the theaters will work on radio and what they think they did right (and wrong) in the building of the theater and brand.
