I love this time of year. It’s not too hot or cold, you have a bunch of holidays to look forward too, plus no major blockbusters are coming out so that means late night shows are calling comedians left and right to fill seats and entertain people. This week there is an embarrassment of riches in terms of comedians doing their thing, but if you watch only two things only, it should be the series premiere of Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time and Bo Burnham’s comedy special debut Words, Words, Words. Both are debuting on Comedy Central this week.
If you haven’t seen any of the skits from Swardson’s show you really need to, thesong Words, Words, Words should be considered illegal for how funny and addictive it is, and this kids stand up is just as funny and creative (and filthy). You can also preview Words, Words, Words here.
New in stores this week!
