  • Eight Comedians; One Chronic Mental Illness
    Eight comedians; one chronic mental illness When it comes to depression, everyone’s story is different. But a lot of time, the stories can be pretty similar. In this podcast, there are common themes that rise up in conversations with comedians. There was a pretty specific age range during which most people first felt depression. Some were as young as five, some as old as 21. But for a lot of them, it hit right down the middle: during the cracking voice years, the unexpected hair years. Jake Weisman, standup comic Jake is based in LA and one of the writers and stars of Hampton Deville, an up and coming sitcom on Comedy Central. “The first time I had depression was when puberty hit in seventh or eighth grade. I remember feeling very dark thoughts all the time. Like not wanting to be alive. I remember being kind of an asshole. I hated myself so much. I remember every day, having this layer of sludge over my brain. I felt stupid and unworthy of everything I had and I kind of hated myself. I would be really sarcastic to people.” Awareness of how much you could hate yourself comes up a lot. Also, how much you could detach from the world. Sometimes how much you didn’t want to be there anymore. Another theme that kept coming up was confusion about what was going on. You don’t have life experience to identify it. You’ve never felt anything like this before. Mike Drucker, standup and a writer Mike has worked on Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, he’s co-writer of an upcoming Bill Nye’s show for Netflix.

Inhalt Roy und Denise Solomon ziehen mit ihrer Teenager-Tochter Jess und ihrem kleinen Sohn Ben in ein entlegenes Farmhaus in einem Sonnenblumenfeld in North Dakota. Dass sich dort womöglich übernatürliche Dinge abspielen könnten, bleibt von den Erwachsenen unbemerkt. Aber Ben und kurz darauf Jess spüren bald, dass nicht alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Weil ihr die Eltern nicht glauben wollen, recherchiert Jess auf eigene Faust und erfährt, dass sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause sechs Jahre zuvor ein bestialischer Mord abgespielt hat. Kritik Für sein amerikanisches Debüt hat sich das umtriebige Brüderpaar Danny und Oxide Pang („The Eye“) eine Variante von „Amityville Horror“ ausgesucht, um eine amerikanische Durchschnittsfamilie nach allen Regeln der Kunst mit übernatürlichem Terror zu überziehen.

ET/PT Viewers Are Invited To Leave Comments on The Blog Page of www.michaelandmichaelhaveissues.com www.michaelandmichaelhaveissues.com Features Blogs, Tweets, Video Updates, Messages From The "Michaels," Original Drawings And Exclusive Videos, Reviews Of New Episodes And Video Highlights After Each Premier Episode NEW YORK, Aug. 4 -- Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter will participate in a half-hour live blog session during an all-new episode of "Michael & Michael Have Issues" on Wednesday, August 5 at 10:30pm. ET/PT. The Michael and Michael blog at www.michaelandmichaelhaveissues.com. serves as home for this event, where viewers can follow the "Michaels" live blog and leave comments on the site to communicate with them while the show is airing. The all-new episode of "Michael & Michael Have Issues" titled "Pulling Your Weight" features Black leaving the brunt of the workload to Showalter. "Michael & Michael Have Issues" stars Black and Showalter in a new twist on narrative and sketch comedies that features the long-time comedic partners as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show. In the seven-episode series, sketches will be interspersed throughout the narrative thread of each episode. Behind-the-scenes of the show-within-a-show, viewers will get a first-hand look at issues, both big (in an attempt to broaden their appeal, the guys turn their show into a frat house spectacle) and small (the two Michaels fight over the approval of a teenage intern who is writing an article about them for his high school newspaper) that the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other.

  • COMEDY CENTRAL Records Releases Ryan Stout's "Touche" Debut Digital Album on December 6
    COMEDY CENTRAL Records Releases Ryan Stout's "Touche" Debut Digital Album on December 6 NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan Stout tends to say the wrong thing – in exactly the right way. Or, maybe, it's the right thing in the wrong way! In any case, COMEDY CENTRAL Records releases Ryan Stout's debut digital album, "Touche" on Tuesday, December 6. Recorded live at Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis, MN, "Touche" is packed with complex twists, unexpected turns, and sharp punch lines. Exploring morally repugnant subject matter with smart and sterile objectivity, Stout's delightful insincerity and self-righteousness make this digital album both witty and wicked. To assure his brand of "offensive humor" stays on an intellectual level, he generally keeps profanity out of his act, even while touching on such subjects as sexual assault and abortion in his own clever manner. Ryan Stout has toured the globe with his extremely well-crafted stand-up for more than ten years. When he was only 22 years old, he won first place in the Boston International Comedy Festival's Stand-up Comedy Competition. Many opportunities soon followed, including performances at "The Comedy Festival" in Las Vegas, at HBO's "U.S. Comedy Arts Festival" in Aspen, and at the prestigious "Just for Laughs" International Comedy Festival in Montreal. In the world of television, Stout has hosted various series and specials for MTV, including the iconic "MTV's Spring Break." He has appeared as a regular guest on "Chelsea Lately," made his late-night stand-up debut on "Conan,"

    COMEDY CENTRAL Records(R) to Release Doug Benson's 'Unbalanced Load' CD on Tuesday, August 4 NEW YORK, July 27 -- Take a load off and catch Doug Benson's new CD "Unbalanced Load" released on COMEDY CENTRAL Records August 4. "Unbalanced Load" was recorded at the Punchline in San Francisco on April 20th, 2009. Why that date? Not because it's Hitler's birthday, but because 4/20 has been adopted as a stoner holiday and Benson is one of the biggest pot comics around. He co-wrote the Off-Broadway show (and COMEDY CENTRAL Records release) "The Marijuana-Logues" and starred in the documentary "Super High Me," in which he smoked pot continuously for 30 days. Benson is best known for his regular appearances on VH1's "Best Week Ever" and was a finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing." His television appearances also include a "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents" half-hour special in January 2009 and appearances on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Sarah Silverman Program," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Friends." In addition to his credits as creator/writer/star of "The Marijuana-Logues," a show that's been a hit in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York, drawing a bongload of rave reviews and his COMEDY CENTRAL CD, he also authored a book, The Marijuana- Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember. In 2006, High Times Magazine named him Stoner of the Year. Doug also expresses his love of movies on his "I Love Movies" podcasts (available on iTunes). Previously released recordings by COMEDY CENTRAL Records include: Dane Cook's "ISolated INcident," Cook's
