Jonah Ray’s MELTDOWN. Friday, March 19th. at 8PM $8 bux!

G-DL — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:55:00 +0000

MELTDOWN.

This will be a fun show. Please come out and reblog and spread the word. It’s a great line up:

Whitney Cummings. I’m not sure if you saw her on the Joan Rivers roast but she completely dominated. She’s got such a great stage presence with really punchy jokes to back it up. Recently she starred in a pilot Produced by Ben Stiller, Directed by David Wain, and co-starring John Goodman.

Duncan Trussell. Duncan just recently wrapped up writing for NICK SWARDSONS sketch show on Comedy Central and has been progressively been becoming my favorite comic to see. One of the smartest and funniest guys around.

Eric Appel. Eric has been consistently pumping out amazing sketches since starting up on the Andy Milonakis Show back in 2005. Recently, he’s written on Crank Yankers, Human Giant and has been responsible for some of my favorite videos on FUNNY OR DIE, where he is a staffed Writer/Producer/Director. On top of that you can see him perform every sunday with Community’s Donald Glover at the UCB Theatres SHITTY JOBS.

K.P. Anderson. K.P. has been the Executive Producer and Head Writer of THE SOUP w/ Joel McHale for the past 5 years. Having been able to work side by side with him has been a delight. He regularly opens up for Joel McHale all across the country. Come see his rare L.A. appearance.

Brent Weinbach. Ask any comic that has performed with Brent and they will tell you ONLY good things. One of the more quoted and referenced comedians within the comedy community. I often find myself trying to describe his bits to friends and am always falling short of being able to. It truly is only something that you have to experience live.

Plus Special Guest: STEVE AGEE. Steve, a regular cast member on the Sarah Silverman Program is a wreck. One of the funniest hypochondriacs you will ever come across. Steve will swing by to talk about why he might just be about to die or almost just did.

This is a show full of headliners and I couldn’t be more happy to show them to everybody who comes. This is handpicked comedy.

Penny-Arcade at Meltdown FRI FEB 26 @ 7 PM

Penny-Arcade Book Tour Comes to Meltdown in their L.A. Debut

Pre-Order your signed copy

Howdy, first-time blogger Jacob Strick here! I have the honor – as a long-time fan of both Meltdown and Penny-Arcade – to promote the upcoming Penny-Arcade book tour which is touching down at Meltdown in just over two weeks. For those who have been following this webcomic over the last 11-1/2 years, it is remarkable to see how far writer Jerry Holkins and artist Mike Krahulik have expanded the “Penny-Arcade” brand to their own major gaming expo (PAX), an international charity (Child’s Play), to say nothing of their games, clothing, and figurines. But it is easy to get caught up in the ascent of the Penny which is Arcade without really getting at the heart of the thing, which is to say the webcomic that has charmed and enlightened gamers and non-gamers alike for over a decade. So how to make sense of all this?

Enter “The Splendid Magic of Penny Arcade: The 11 1/2 Anniversary Edition,” a freshly minted volume published by Del Rey (an imprint of Random House). At more than 170 pages, this veritable tome will serve as the perfect entry point into the world of Penny-Arcade as well as a lovely companion piece to their previously collected works. Thrill to “savory trivia, strange facts, formerly mysterious origins, biographical information, interviews, inaugural conventions, an unlikely charity, and comic strips.” Most importantly, this book is an impetus for a book tour: finally an opportunity for Angelenos to meet the men behind Tycho Brahe and Jonathan “Gabe” Gabriel (pictured above) in the flesh. And you should, they’re very nice people.

So not this Friday, or next Friday, but the Friday after next: run, don’t walk to Meltdown and experience the power and the glory that is Penny-Arcade!
