Tonight…….
New York Comedy Festival - Mike Birbiglia at Town Hall. It was pretty cool. He had a surprise band open. I was on pins and needles wondering who it was and very delighted to find it was Mates of States. Mike as usual was funny. He told my favorite funny story and one the many baby daddies I have was there……Ira Glass….with his lady (lame). My friend and I were getting a bit stalker-ish with very little success. This is the 3rd time I have seen Mike Birbiglia and love his comedy. He has great little stories that are a little sad and endearing but always funny.
Side note: The New York Comedy Festival is a huge sausage fest. What’s that about folks? Seriously. Were Sarah Silverman and Maria Bramford busy?
Yeah, folks. I got it and you know what I was thisclose to taking my punk ass down to the signing at Borders today but unfortunately my job owns me from about 930 to 6. I am actually really surprised at how much I love this show even with the minor issues I have with which I hope will work themselves as the show progresses (Mr. Murphy, I get black women are sassy!). But overall for me this is a pretty amazing show and I look forward to it every Wednesday. I mean I would have never thought a mash up of Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” and Usher’s “Confessions” would be something I would like. Seriously, I think hell has frozen over.
What’s next? Am I going to start listening to Lady Gaga? OMG, that would be scary.
Tonight!!
Ricky Gervais did a special show testing out material for his New York Comedy Festival stint and future tour.
I enjoyed it. His humor is a lot more meaner and dirtier than one would assume but not all the surprising considering how dark and sad while funny The Office and Extras was.
This totally made up for not being able to get tickets to a screening of Up in The Air with Jason Reitman. Well, not completely but mostly.
Tonight at The Paley Center for Media there was a panel moderated by John Hodgeman with Jonathan Ames, Jason Schwartzman, and Ted Danson. They also showed the season finale of Bored To Death. Where the hell I was? Home watching to To Wong Foo (not that I have a problem with that). I follow the Paley Center on Twitter how fuck did I miss this announcement? I can’t right now.

This made laugh way more than I thought it would.

This woman is a whole lot of awesomeness. I love her and everything about her. Even before she was knocking everybody’s socks off in Glee she was stealing the show in almost everything thing she was in. I’m just saying Golden Globes, Emmys, SAGs and everything else inbetween should be showered on this woman. That is all.
