Friday, March 19th. at 8PM $8 bux! http://comedymeltdown.com/2010/03/11/jonah-ray%e2%80%99s-meltdown-friday-march-19th-at-8pm-8-bux/ http://comedymeltdown.com/2010/03/11/jonah-ray%e2%80%99s-meltdown-friday-march-19th-at-8pm-8-bux/#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:55:00 +0000 G-DL http://comedymeltdown.com/?p=1404

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.

Warm Up To Meltdown

By Nicole Campos

Warm Up To Meltdown

For the better part of two years now, Comedy Meltdown has offered one of the most consistently fantastic laugh lineups in town, overtaking the gallery space in the rear of the mighty Meltdown Comics on Sunset once a month with a reliably killer slate of standups, which has featured Dana Gould, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Aziz Ansari, Maria Bamford and a ton more. It’s with a sad typeface, then, that we have to impart the news that this month’s Comedy Meltdown Grand Finale is likely to be the last for a while: Booker extraordinaire Linda Pine is putting the show on hiatus, and though you shouldn’t count ComMelt out yet, you should definitely be there on Friday to send it off with a bang. Paul F. Tompkins headlines, which is reason enough to get your yucks in, as well as the free frosty beer included with the cover charge. Plus, you can get your Christmas shopping done for the beloved comic-book geeks in your life at the same time.
