by Klaus Kinski Pete Holmes @ Rock n ROFL 2008 ( more by Elizabeth Weinberg ) In the Klaus Kinski Hall of Fame of Comedians Your Man Klaus Loves Endlessly Even Though They've Left NYC for Greener Pastures , Pete Holmes has his own gallery dedicated to his honor. Bear in mind that this hall of fame only exists in the meaty gore-locker between my ears so visitors are [...]

It's tough for a comedian to open up for a famous musician. The crowd isn't paying to see you, and if you're Eugene Mirman on tour with Andrew Bird, you're going to be playing cavernous venues full of very mellow crowds.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

While waiting on the line, I saw that camel again. I really want to party with him. -- First band up, The Men. This band is definitely going places. They're tight and loud, and have the [...]

Attending the Cabinet of Wonders is one of the smartest things you can do in New York City and definitely one of my favorites. Created by Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding) , the Cabinet features his friends in music, literature, and comedy. And believe me, he has pretty amazing friends. Located at the beautiful City Winery , these shows are my one opportunity to feel like a classy grownup. This weekend's sold out Cabinet was pretty spectacular, featuring music from John Wesley Harding , Spinto Band , Punch Brothers , [...]

ARTIST: Eugene Mirman and Pretty Good Friends VENUE: Paradise Club / Boston, MA / 12/22/11 DATE: 01-05-12 REVIEW BY: Ollie Ottoman I'm a big fan of standup comedy. At the same time, I've rarely been to a standup show; or rather, I've never been to a standup show I've actually wanted to see. My only forays into the standup scene have involved comedy clubs with mostly atrocious acts made even worse by the ever-charming two-drink minimum. I have [view more]

It's may be December, but there's still a lot quality comedy left before we close out the year. Here's what I found interesting this month for one reason or another: PS According to their Twitter , The Bell House has a big comedy announcement coming this morning at 10AM. (Could it be another set of surprise Louis CK shows?) Gotham Comedy Club 12/07 The Laugh Button Live with Todd Barry, Robert Kelly, Giulia Rozzi and Kyle Grooms SoHo Apple Store [...]

by Klaus Kinski Reggie Watts, Lisa Delarios & Arden Myrin And now for the good news that will hopefully serve as an antidote for the terrible news . Have you been one of the lucky and smart mofos who has managed to catch The Party Machine at one of its many appearances at Brooklyn's Union Hall ? Those shows, hosted by Lisa [...]

by Klaus Kinski Chris Hardwick, Adam Savage, Matt Mira & Jonah Ray at Largo in LA On August 16, 2011 at 8:18 PM , a whistle-blower came forward and called me out on something that I've been hoping would go unnoticed during my tenure as an esteemed, beloved, respected, deified, reviled, BV contributor; my grammar sux. So now I am back at school, bonin' up my wordliness. But with all this classwork and homework, I only [...]

Bumbershoot 2011 Day Three (September 5th, 2011 - Seattle, Washington) ** There may not be a better way to begin a day of musical carousing than by watching Charles Bradley, otherwise known as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul," and "The Black Swan," take the stage for an intimate, live KEXP performance. The Gainesville, Florida born funk-star and soul-singer is a true legend, and it's easy to see why. Draped in a royal-red, sequined blazer, and offering a reverential bow, Bradley held the audience in a state of excited bliss [...]

Bumbershoot 2011 Day Two (September 4th, 2011 - Seattle, Washington) **Atari Teenage Riot Maybe it was a mistake to kick-off the second, glorious, sunny day of Bumbershoot (a fun, colloquial way of saying umbrella), Seattle's annual international music and arts festival, by arriving at 6pm after seven hours on an airplane, and walking straight into the dark pit of the Exhibition Hall music stage. Watching Anti-Flag rage incoherently about social injustice to a group of half-interested, disaffected, fans who couldn't be convinced to mosh or crowd surf despite the [...]
