    Sean G Is The Winner Of Improv’s 5 Spot Contest

    Last November, Improv comedy clubs announced a contest to give up-and-coming comedians a chance to perform in front of a national comedy talent booking agent.

    Improv.com is proud to announce comedian Sean G as the winner of the first round of The 5 Spot, the Improv’s platform to help elevate up-and-coming comedians with quality stage time in front of someone who can help take them to the next level.

    Sean was able to amass more Improv.com followers than any of the hundreds of comedians who took part in the contest. As the champion, he will now have the opportunity to perform at the world famous Hollywood Improv in front of a packed house and more importantly, the national booker for the largest network of comedy clubs in the nation, the Improv Comedy Clubs.

    The Miami native has been performing ever since he was 17, Mike Epps first gave Sean G his big break as an opening act and he’s since moved up the ladder, he was named the Funniest College Kid in America by Jimmy Kimmel Live! and is currently starring on the Tyler Perry show Meet The Browns.

    Improv will announce Sean G’s performance date in a few weeks and will also be introducing new versions of The 5 Spot every few months.

    Chelsea Handler Goes Back On Tour To Support Her New Book

    After finishing off a tour (and several bottles of vodka) Chelsea Handler is hitting the road again for her 2011 Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me tour.

    She will be joined by her Chelsea Lately regulars Brad Wollack, Josh Wolf, and Heather McDonald for the 19 date tour. The tour starts in Boston May 10th and if it will be anything like last year’s Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, expect a whole crap ton of shows to be added on since last years schedule was extended three times and drew more than a quarter of a million fans in 44 markets grossing 16 million. That’s a lot of drunk chick jokes.

    Her new book will be a collection of stories from her family and friends about the ridiculous lies Handler told them over the years. During her tour, Handler will be doing book signings in support of her new book.

    No surprisingly Chelsea’s favorite vodka Belvedere will be presenting the tour as well as hosting what should be some incredibly booze soaked after parties.
