Ritch Duncan and I co-host a stand-up show tonight in Park Slope at Pacific Standard. Great lineup:

C’mon! 82 Fourth Avenue. Free! The name of the bar is Pacific Standard.

Christine Nangle and her compatriots from Whorenado and Abby Elliott (from SNL and also Christine’s level 201 sketch class) made this video about Perez Hilton’s grilling the conservative Miss Teen USA about gay marriage. Everyone is great it in, especially the always ridiculous Paul Downs:

Made with fast turnaround from the gentlemen at Bobby Chicago.

Request:

1. Watch The Palm Beach Story. It’s available instantly on Netflix.
2. Watch the opening credits and the final 2 minutes again.
3. Explain that shit to me.

I just watched it several times. There’s not enough information to REALLY know what could be implied, and it ends up being a Rorschach test where you infer the story you think makes the most sense.

I plugged Andy Rocco’s Hipster Show in my last post, but incorrectly said it was this Monday. It is NEXT Monday which is April 27th.

Two plugs for you:

1) I’m performing stand-up at Third Fridays tonight at Ochi’s Lounge (underneath Comix at 9th avenue and 14th street). 7pm! Free! With Liam McEneaney, Andrea Rosen, Eric Seims, Rusty Ward. Hosted by Ritch Duncan.

2) Andy Rocco has a great show coming up Monday night at UCBT at 9:30pm. The Hipster Show. Cool special guests like director Tom Schiller and maybe other crazy things. EDITED: This is NEXT Monday the 27th! I had the date wrong before.

World’s Strongest Pope. Written/directed by Brandon Bassham. Shot/edited by Peter Schultz.

I love this sketch. It has a weirdly long history. It was performed by the Maude Team Choking Victim, then by 27 Kidneys. Then I tried to shoot it (last April) but screwed up the shoot so badly that it wouldn’t cut together. Then Brandon and Pete decided to re-shoot it. First the cut the script way down, then they put a bunch of Jim’s improv in and then they created the whole fight scene at the end.

I know at one point they were thinking of releasing it as several chapters, but I’m glad [...]
