An absolute menace.

 

Last year's Farrarch theme song was unbeatable but Howell killed it this year too. Also the new YKS studio looks really good!

Jesse Clark is so fucking funny too. Strong energy from the very start. They blend perfectly into that group.

 

I do the "nah nah nah" to myself all the time now. Its such a good bit.

 

Swardson was so trashed at a recent show they cancelled it in the middle of his set, pretty sad. I haven’t kept up with him but hope he can pull it together

 

the best

 

He's always had a party reputation, but that's rough. I am curious how his actual set was, though.

 

This week on Jeopardy! is the Tournament of Champions and Ike Barinholtz is on from winning the Celebrity Tourney

 

John Cullen and Emily Heller are on Go Off Kings playing Jeopardy tonight too!

 

The last part is actually really funny but I'm not sure how intentional it was.

I think I remember Chris James talking about the Pablo Francisco looping video and saying it happens more than you'd expect but usually to people with less performing experience. What a scary experience to be caught in.

 

here's more video of them cutting his mic and ending the show

 

The original DB/Claire Saffitz breakdown twitch stream they reference on YKS this week was legendary. My memory is hazy because it started super late at night and went until like 11am if I remember right but I think about it all the time. I remember sitting in complete wonder, as the sun came up, watching him dramatically lose his mind from despair while blasting Dear April justice remix over and over. It was one of the funniest things Ive ever seen.

 

Paul Rust is promoting a show with him, Neil Campbell, Fran Gillespie, Toni Charline, Beck Bennet, Mike Mitchell, and Mike Hanford this Friday. There are livestream tickets for $12

 

I used to go to their Playhouse Masterpiece shows all the time at UCB when they started doing them. They were so good

 

Yeah, I think I'm gonna snag a ticket, that cast is just too stacked

 

out today on the Roku channel

 

Fucking Pete Holmes trying to sell me magic mushrooms on Instagram.

 

That’s hilarious.

 

Just got tix to see Big Grande and The Sloppy Boys performing together in May

 

Gabrus, Dom Dierkes, and Ben Rodgers are gunna be on Everything Now Show in a few. Its an semi-interactive improv show on twitch. I'm really excited for this one.

 

What's the deal with Dropout? I've been getting a lot of clips from Very Important People show on Youtube, looks funny enough and there's a few folks I recognize as Doughboys guests, but there are some other game show clips I've seem that just seem like ripoffs of Jimmy Fallon games and CBB bits (one was reading Twitter drafts).

 

I haven’t subbed to Dropout yet but the clips I’ve seen have been pretty good. They do seem to feature the same few handfuls of UCB/post-Earwolf podcast regulars but I think that’s just par for the course for this kind of stuff. There are millions of improvisers and sketch performers and we mostly see the 15-20 repeating guests and players on UCB-focused podcasts and shows.
