    Dan St Germain - The Half Hour

    Tonight comedian and all around great bearded man Dan St. Germain will have his Half Hour special premiere on Comedy Central. We’re more than likely to see some burly comedy delivered over the course of the night, and, let’s be honest… everyone needs more burly comedy in their lives. So props to Dan for his first half hour. And for forcing me to try to creatively think of a new genre of comedy all by myself. And to think that my parents were often told to not let me think for my self. Read the rest of this entry

    Comedy Central Radio

    Remember when we told you a while back that Comedy Central was going to launch its Comedy Central Radio channel on SiriusXM? Well this weekend at midnight on the Sunday, May 19th the channel will be officially live. So it’s time to celebrate. The TV channel will show itself some solidarity for its latest endeavor by going dark and simulcasting the air feed of the SiriusXM channel 95. This will mark the second time ever that Comedy Central has ever gone dark. The first time being on May 19, 1992 when the channel shut it down for an hour as Johnny Carson’s final broadcast of The Tonight Show aired.

    Mike LawrenceYippee! Mike Lawrence is going to release a new stand-up album. Lawrence is a TLB favorite ’round these parts. Earlier this year we picked him as one of our comedians to watch this year.

    Mike’s also been gracious enough to perform at one of our live shows during NYCF last fall. He also took some time out give us this interview at Just For Laughs in Montreal last summer.

    Mike’s debut stand-up album, Sadamantium will be released on May 28th. Get the X-Men/Wolverine reference? Of course you do, as Mike’s one of the biggest comic book fans we know.

    A new album is not the only big news Mike has lined up this month. Somewhere in the middle of all the action, he also taped his first ever Half Hour TV special for Comedy Central which is debuting on May 31st, just a few days after the release of Sadamantium. Big times are happening for Lawrence, strap in and let’s go for the ride.

    There’s nothing left to say other than lay your eyeballs on the badass album art. Read the rest of this entry
