    • Jon Dore And Rory Scovel Perform Simultaneous Comedy Acts On Conan

    This is kinda awesome but I don’t see any comedic trends coming from it.

    Last night on Conan Jon Dore and Rory Scovel were apparently double booked as the comedian for the night. So rather than re-booking one of them, the two comedians appeared on stage together and delivered their sets simultaneously. It’s pretty amazing watching the pair work simultaneously yet not at the same time.

    Who knows if this was planned all along or inspired by an actual double booking, nonetheless, it’s still entertaining along with great execution.

    Talking Stand-Up Comedy With With Tommy Johnagin

    Comedian Tommy Johnagin has been doing standup for over 9 years. In any other business, he’d be considered a veteran; but in comedy, he’s still a rookie. Johnagin’s been getting some big breaks though, namely stints on David Letterman and a second place finish on this past season of Last Comic Standing. We got the chance to talk to him about all these things, his new comedy album Stand Up Comedy 2 and his penchant for jokes about babies. Read the rest of this entry

    Rob Corddry Talks Childrens Hospital With VBS TV

    If you are keeping tabs on Rob Corddry’s career (and we all should) you should know that the second season of his show Children’s Hospital just began on [adult swim]. Corddry sat down with VBS TV at the bar, Idle Hands, to talk shop about the new season of the show.

    Center Stage: Axis Of Awesome

    Axis of Awesome is Australia’s contribution to the comedy music scene. Whereas The Lonely Island might get away with hardcore raps and hooks sung by celebs, AOA get away with clever wordplay and pop parodies, tunes that would line up more with Flight of the Conchords or Tenacious D. In fact, if you imagine Jack Black fronting Flight of the Conchords, you got yourself a pretty damn close comparison to Axis of Awesome. Read the rest of this entry

    [adult swim] Made A Mastodon Music Video

    There’s a certain connection the folks at [adult swim] have when it comes to metal music. Whether it be Metalocalpse or the random appearances of Danzig, Andrew W.K., or Mastodon providing the soundtrack to a movie.
