Laura Kightlinger, Jay Johnston star in Atom.com's disturbing (funny?) 'American Heroine'

Laura Kightlinger and Jay Johnston (The Sarah Silverman Program, Mr. Show) have teamed up with Atom.com on a short film called American Heroine. The film takes the viewer to some very uncomfortable places-- places that are funny in the context of the story but also makes me...

Tuesday stand-up: Mary Lynn Rajskub

Sometimes fantastic stand-up can show itself where you least expect it. Did you know 24's own Mary Lynn Rajskub is very funny behind the mic? Well, I suspect that many our readers did know this, but in case you did not, below is a clip of Rajskub sharing a true story about when...

Friday stand-up: Louis C.K.

Seeing as how we just posted our featured review of Louis C.K.'s new DVD Hilarious, I thought I'd close this week in heckling clips with the icon himself. Although this clip from his FX show Louie isn't an actual scenario, Louis did a great job, I feel, in creating the...

Seems like it's been a while since a blog post has gone up on the world wide web featuring Kyle Cease that didn't somehow praise or condemn his Stand-up Bootcamp. I'm almost finished with my week long obsession over heckler videos and found that this clip stands apart from the...

Wednesday stand-up: Joel James

More with the heckling stuff? Yes. I was amused with this enough to want to share it with all of you. This is a clip of Joel James (someone I've admittedly never heard of), doing a great job of rolling with the punches and keeping the crowd laughing. Not sure I'd go so far as...

Tuesday stand-up: Eddie Pepitone

After watching Zach Galifianakis deal with a heckler yesterday, I decided to continue looking into videos that deal with the heckling nuisance. This clip from Eddie Pepitone is a very funny bit that I'm certain cannot be heckled - even from the most inebriated audience...

Monday stand-up video: Zach Galifianakis

By | January 3, 2011 at 6:00 pm | No comments

Experiencing a heckler can either be a horribly traumatizing experience for a comic to endure or an opportunity to add a new layer funny for your audience to enjoy. I tend to see it as the first thing I mentioned, but in this video I found, it is evident that Zach Galifianakis...

Thursday stand-up video: 'The A-List'

By | December 30, 2010 at 6:23 pm | No comments

When I was very little, I would frequently sleep over at my Grandma's house Not just because she waited on me hand and foot but because she had CABLE. More importantly, she had Comedy Central. I would stay up very late watching shows like Who's Line is it Anyway and The A-List....
