I immediately loved her goofiness, her gorgeous smile, and her comeo time. Her character is a comic book fan who finds Stuart's hypochondria and neuroses adorable. I love the way she keeps herself both as an actress and as a comedian. Lauren also improved, and she appeared on HBO's Crashing and Netflix's Orange as the New Black. Here, the Chicago native answers our 5 questions in depth so we can all get to know her better! Do you believe in God? Right out of the gate with a huge question! I love this post. I'm not particularly religious, but I feel comforted by the idea of a higher power. I've spoken to God on a handful of occasions, so hopefully someone has been listening other than Alexa or whatever. But most days I subscribe to optimistic nihilism... the idea that there is no practical point for anything, allows us to decide exactly what we want the point to be. It makes life a little more enjoyable for me. Times when I feel anxious or turned out about something, I can pull back and think, No point to any of this, so why am I wasting my time making myself feel bad? There is a great Youtube video on optimistic nihilism that you should check out if you want a very clear definition. I highly recommend watching it! Finally, the problem is to be happy and make others happy and help the world however you can... that answers your question? What do you think will happen when we die? I think our spirit lives somewhere else, in one direction I can not conceptualize. I feel the presence of people and animals I have lost, and I like to think they live on some form. I'm not a big fan of the whole of you dying and then you're gone and that's the end of things, but the video I link above gives a consolation going into that possibility. How were you doing in high school? I was very similar to who I am today, but with less confidence and worse hair. I auditioned for just about every play my school did and got into ZERO. I was somehow allowed into the student-produced sketch show every year, which was a dream come true. I always dreamed of becoming a comedian but didn't know how to do it. I started taking improvement classes at my Chicago iO last year of high school (a teacher suggested I give it a shot-shout-out to Aaron Carney), and started an internal change towards expressing myself in a positive way and learning how to be confident even if I don't know what the hell is going on. I really believe I'm comfortable with who I'm because of the improvement. I have no interest in seeing my sliding doors where I end up being a kind-of-funny business woman or something. In fact, I may be very interested see that if anyone has access. What advice would you give young women to start in comedy? Go for it! Don't tell yourself to get out after your dreams. It can be so easy to let fear go through while you sit back and let life happen to you. But if you think you might be good at something, you should try it. It's going to be tough at first. Even those who kill their first time on stage quickly realize it is not always easy. You'll have a lot of struggles and you'll doubt yourself or think too much of the dumb things you said or did, but that's life! Try to give yourself a break and pursue this very silly and very interesting path.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • THTR 470 Sketch Syllabus Fall 18
    Sketch Comedy for Theatre USCSchool of THTR-470 (2 units) Section 63081 Dramatic Arts Fall 2018 Mondays & Wednesdays 12-1:50pm Location: MCC 107 Kirstin Eggers, Adjunct Faculty Office: MCC 214 Office Hours: By appointment. Please schedule via email. Email: [email protected] Phone: (c) 323.898.7388 Course Description and Overview “The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them.” — Molière In this experiential writing and performance workshop course, we will explore and develop our comedic voices via the creation of comedic sketches, through the entire process — from idea generation, to writing, rewriting, rehearsal, and finally production and performance of a fully realized sketch comedy show, with an emphasis on comedic collaboration and ensemble building. Learning Objectives Throughout this course, we will work to develop our comedic voices through the medium of sketch — comedic explorations of concepts, characters and situations. We will learn sketch writing structure through the study of prominent existing sketches, and techniques for sketch performance and character creation. Students are expected to generate a high volume of comedic concepts and written material to serve their own creative exploration, and their own work ethic and writing practice. Students are also expected to serve the needs of the group, and work toward building a true comedy ensemble. Although we will be working toward a final workshop presentation, this course is focused on process over product — you are not expected to be funny 100% of the time, or even 10% of the time. You are expected to be brave, be open-minded, and stretch out of your comfort zone to explore and strengthen your own unique comedic voice.

Excludes repeats, specials, movies, news, sports, programs with only one telecast, and Spanish language nets. Cable: Mon-Sun, 8-11P. Broadcast: Mon-Sat, 8-11P; Sun 7-11P. "<<" denotes below Nielsen minimum reporting standards based on P2+ Total U.S. Rating to the tenth (0.0). Important to Note: This list utilizes the TV Guide listing service to denote original telecasts (and exclude repeats and specials), and also line-items original series by the internal coding/titling provided to Nielsen by each network. Thus, if a network creates different "line items" to denote different seasons or different day/time periods of the same series within the calendar year, both entries are listed separately. The following provides examples of separate line items that we counted as one show: %(7 V%HLQJ0DU\-DQH%(,1*0$5<-$1(6DQG%(,1*0$5<-$1(6 1%& V7KH9RLFH92,&(DQG92,&(78( 1%& V7KH&DUPLFKDHO6KRZ&$50,&+$(/6+2:3DQG&$50,&+$(/6+2: Again, this is a function of how each network chooses to manage their schedule.

  • Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene
    Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene BY Copyright 2010 Vince Meserko Submitted to the graduate degree program in Communication Studies and the Graduate Faculty at the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts ________Dr. Jay Childers, PhD____________ Chairperson _____ Dr. Nancy Baym, PhD____________ ______ Dr. Suzy D’Enbeau, PhD____________ Committee members Date Defended: ____August 1, 2010___ ii The Thesis Committee for Vince Meserko certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene _____Dr._Jay Childers, PhD____ Chairperson Date approved:___August 1, 2010 _______ iii Abstract In this thesis I look at how one of our newest communication mediums, the podcast, is being used by a group of Los Angeles-based comedians loosely assembled under the “alternative comedy” label. Through the lens of critical and medium theory, I identify two primary functions of the podcast for this community: 1) as a space for comedy performance involving character- based sketches and stream-of-consciousness conversation and 2) as a meditation on the nature of stand-up comedy that often confronts tensions between popular and folk culture. I argue that these two functions have become generic hallmarks of the alternative comedy podcasting community. As such, they provide important insight into how subcultures reinforce, reinterpret, and manage artistic value in new media environments. Further, the podcast offers an object lesson in the ways that creative artists have exercised a new sense of agency in controlling the direction of their careers.

  • Supreme Being LOS ANGELES 11.09.14
    SCENE & HERD Supreme Being LOS ANGELES 11.09.14 Left: Jack Black with artist Steven Hull. Right: Steven Hull's Circus of Death installation. (Photos: Miriam Katz) “FUCK THIS VIP SHIT—I want some real California dick!” cried a braless Bridget Everett as she made her way toward the general admission section of the crowd. Everett eventually found an object for her affection, a masked dandy she nicknamed “Corky” (cause he was “Down’s-y in the eyes”), whom she cajoled into playing a grown-up game of airplane, bearing the weight of her significant frame right there in the middle of the stage. Soon enough she was motorboating Peaches (the musician, not the fruit), forcing a security guard’s head up her dress, and crooning gorgeously about lady parts of various shapes and sizes. The sun was still shining, but she was working on her night moves. FOMO abounded among the ten thousand attendees at the second annual Festival Supreme, a ten-hour comedy, music, and visual art event organized by Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. Many sported elaborate costumes as we navigated the fifty-plus live acts across four stages, as well as a fifty four-thousand-square-foot art installation, all in an early-twentieth-century Shriners temple located in downtown Los Angeles. The lineup was sick (Fred Armisen, Margaret Cho, Nick Kroll, to name a few), and as if that weren’t enough, special, surprise guests included Weird Al Yankovic, who shredded the Keytar with Tenacious D, and Zach Galifianakis, who starred, along with Orange Is the New Black’s Lauren Lapkus and Parks and Recreation’s Adam Scott, in a live rendition of Scott Aukerman’s podcast and IFC show Comedy Bang! Bang! The heart of the festival lay in its focus on comedy music, a seemingly puerile medium with surprisingly lofty potential.

    00:00:00 Jesse Host Hey, folks! It’s Jesse. We’re getting close to the end of the year. Thorn Maybe you’re thinking about gifts you’re getting your friends and family, maybe you’re thinking about what causes you can support. I wanna take a second to talk to you about supporting your local public radio station. I’m literally a life-long listener to public radio. Shoutout to KQED and KALW, in the Bay Area. Now, you might be thinking, “If I listen to Bullseye on my phone, why should I donate to a radio station?” Well, it’s pretty straightforward. Bullseye is part of a public radio network, because all those stations give money to NPR, NPR is able to pay us to make shows like Bullseye. And, bonus: when you support public radio, you’re helping build curiosity, conversation, and community right in your backyard. That’s why I support my local NPR Member Station and why you should too. This year, we’re making it really easy. Just go to donate.NPR.org/bullseye to support your local NPR Member Station. And again, that is donate.NPR.org/bullseye. And thanks! 00:00:59 Music Music Gentle, trilling music with a steady drumbeat plays under the dialogue. 00:01:01 Promo Promo Speaker: Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR.
