Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, Jenny mag how alongside the DCN band with today’s Daily Comedy News. Looks like there was a little more to that thing with THEO von falling out of the chair at the inauguration. Talk about that in a second, But Bill Burr and Shane Gillis are teaming up. They will do a benefit comedy show to support relief efforts for those affected by the La wildfires.
This show will be Monday at the will Turn Theater. All proceeds from the benefit will go to the Wildfire Relief Program, a GoFundMe that is currently supporting relief and recovery efforts related to the wildfires burning in La County. That program’s goal was to raise eight million dollars for those affected by the blazes. Through Tuesday, they had raised over five million dollars. As for THEO Vaughn, I told you yesterday that logan Paul had shared a video where THEO Vaughn is trying to sit down and his chair suddenly collapses.
THEO has responded to that tweet saying it wasn’t an accident. Paul thought it was funny to mess with the chair. There’s a time and place. You know, I agree wherever you are on the political spectrum, the inauguration is not the time to be doing pranks. Let’s have some decorum.
Ron Funches is a big fan of Travis Kelcey. Ron had done a show back in December at Kansas City’s Comedy Club, but he just shared the clip on social media, revealing that he’s a major fan of Travis kelce Apparently they hit it off when Funch has guest starred on Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? Which was hosted by Travis Kelcey last October, Funches is seen telling the crowd, I started doing this game show and it’s hosted by Travis Kelcey. We started to become friendly, you know.
And then he knew I was coming out to do shows for Thanksgiving week and he hi…
Let me know if you need anything. Funches calls the tight End a golden retriever of a human being. He’s a good guy. He’s a good dude. Not only did he get his tickets, but an hour and a half before the game, I got another little ding on my phone.
He was like Hey man, I’m getting ready to go in a game mode. I’m gonna turn my phone off before I do. Just want to make sure you got in okay. Funch just said, you Prince chirming mf Or. He’s amazing.
He’s a golden retriever of human being. It’s probably why he’s so good at football. He just like sees the ball and says, I gotta go get it. Funch has also made a joke about Kelsey’s relationship with Taylor Swift, saying I think he’s too good for her. That got a good laugh from the audience.
We’ll see if Joe Koy agrees with that sentiment. From Stars and Stripes dot com, demand to see comedian Joe Koy at bases in Japan overwhelmed the USO website. Joe Cooy is scheduled to perform January twenty ninth at Yakota Tayo Community Center and twice the following day at Yokosuka Naval Basis Fleet Theater. However, USO website glitches frustrated those who try to register for the free tickets. USO spokeswoman Jennifer Passey told Stars and Stripes there was an unprecedented surgeon demand, which caused technical challenges across our registration system.
The USO apologizes for the difficulties some experienced. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this challenge with our registrations. Selwyn Jones is a manager at the Yakota Enlisted Club. He said he spent four hours on the website in a failed attempt to get tickets. He wrote on the Facebook page, this was a major cluster and now I didn’t pull money punches there.
He just said cluster. He didn’t tag cluster with any other syllables there, just major cluster. Jones wrote. The two shows should have been scheduled that Yakoda, adding that the us would advise people to keep trying for tickets even though the system was having issues. Then you tell us the system was suspended and that you’d be resuming on Tuesday after working on the problem and give folks a chance to get the last of the tickets.
Now you’re saying all the tickets are gone. See, people are really into this. Joe Cooy. You know, if you’re a famous musician, maybe you shouldn’t make a face when Joe Coy tells a very very harmless joke were Lax got back and I’m not going to play the joke. I’m trying to rest a bit.
But Joe Coy very popular. Tracy Morgan has opened up about his difficult days early in his SNL tenure. In Peacock’s SNL fifty Beyond Saturday Night documentary, Tracy said, I wanted to show them my world, how funny it was. But the first three years I felt like I was being culturally isolated. Sometimes I’m coming from a world of blacks.
I’m an inner city kid. To be on the whitest show in America, I felt by myself. I felt like they weren’t getting it. Morgan said his experience shifted when he talked to Lorne Michaels. Tracy said, Lorne Michaels had that talk with me.
He said, Tracy had hired you because you’re funny, now because you’re black. So just do your thing. And that’s when I started doing my thing. Coming up in March in Providence, the Lil Rody Laugh Riot Comedy Festivals got a serious lineup. They just added Matt Rife and Jonathan van Ness.
I mean, click on the line up here for you. I was looking at it earlier today as I was putting the show together, it is quite impressive.

Speaking of Jonathan VanNess, They’ve got a special out today on Veeps.
It’s called Fun and Slutty. The pressor tells us Jonathan takes on the persona of Professor Jonathan van Nasty as they set out to educate an unsuspecting audience on the definitions, shenanigans and stigmas of slutty behavior. The special leads us all through a sometimes shocking journey of political commentary alongside lighter serves of humor from tradwife trends to ye olden days of having to use map quest to find your appointment, All done with the fabulous hair flip, infectious laughter and beaming smile at his pure jv N. The hour was taped in the fall at Emo’s in Austin, Texas. You’ll find that on the VIEPS platform.
Meanwhile, Rosebud Baker has announced a special. This will will be on Netflix February eleventh. It’s called The mother Load. Taped months apart during two sold out nights at the Comedy Seller. The special intercuts between Baker before and after giving birth.
With the juxtaposition of these experiences, she unpacks navigating the unknown and the evolving journey of parenthood, delving into the decision to have kids, the indignities of childbirth, the pros and cons of losing your identity in motherhood, generational device of upbringings. She’s no longer doing something that men like. Move on. She don’t deadline. If you have kids, the specials for you, and I’ll tell you right here, based on the thing I just pulled my punch on.
Kids should not watch this one. This special is not for kids. If you absolutely do not want kids, The specials also for you. Baker said, there’s a lot of people in the world navigating infertility, miscarriage, IVF, pregnancy, and post partner them. I’ve been through all that, and I wanted to make a special to mate anyone going through those experiences laugh as badly as I needed too while going through them.
We shot over two years because I wanted to tell the full stories, include what the other side of pregnancy looks like, and I needed to live through it in order to tell jokes about it. And my number one hope is that it makes everyone laugh. It’d be nice to also make them feel less alone. I saw an item here. I just thought the timing was a little weird.
I don’t know if you follow the news, but from the Robb Report, the headline comedian Whitney Cummings is seeking thirteen million dollars for her suburban LA estate. I don’t know sure. I mean, you’re allowed to sell a house. It feels like timeing’s a little awkward there. The Robert port tells us the multi hyphenate entertainer relax with that, come on, comedian Whitney Cummings purchased the Woodland Hills residence back in twenty nineteen for four point three million dollars and gave it a stylish makeover.
Architectural Digest describes the makeover as a Santa Fe meets monastery inspired style, with a total of five bedrooms and seven baths, sixty eight hundred square feet high ceilings accented with reclaimed barn beams and French doors leading outside sequestered behind gates at the end of a secluded cul de sac. The creamy stucco and terra cotta roof structure is perched atop a four acre parcel overlooking sweeping mountain vistas. The home includes an inviting den sporting a fireplace flanked by built in shelving, as well as a bookshelf, line library, and a posh primary suite flunting a private balcony, a separacy, and a Spa inspired bath spotlighted by a Belgian soaking tub. Did I mention that Bill Burr and Shane Gillis are doing a fundraiser A lot of people lost their homes during the fires. Did I mention that that was the lead story?
Sorry? Sometimes I forget if I mentioned something or not. That’s right. Oh, And the listing goes out of its way to tell us that the homes of Loure is the property setting of Midahalow that protects it from the Santa Anna wins. And the listing also notes there’s an LA Fire Department helipad nearby.
Timing. Everybody comedy is about timing. Did I mention that there’s a big fundraiser Shane Gillis and Bill Burr are trying to raise money people lost their homes in the wildfires. Did you hear about that? Yeah?
Anyway, if you need a house, Whitney coming to selling hers for thirteen million dollars. James dobe And tells the LA Times funny is funny. There’s a lot of surprising material that can make an audience lose it, whether they agree or not. I believe in being funny more than I believe in being correct. It’s almost a political belief I have.
Comedy has to be funny, but there’s a curious system of algorithms, botnets and paid publicity that will screen the opposite at you. I love to bring up an important or intelligent topic and then make very stupid jokes about it. People have said before that my comedy is smarter intelligence that starts to sound like it’s one of those acts where we’ve got to have a degree in liberal arts to understand it. Nothing I do is difficult to understand. It’s all basic and moronic.
Also from the La Times, they checked in with the folks at the Alzadina Comedy Club PDA that burned down in the La wildfires. After the fires, a wooden picnic table remained fully intact. I will circle back to that Chekhov’s gun of a detail. Maria Bamford was one of the major players in the early days of the club. She used to work out there.
Bamford said, I drew a picture several years ago after moving to Altadena of my ideal comedy community, small and filled with love and in true La vision. Board magic Claire Button Kevin did a massive amount of work rehabbing a strip mall office space into a gorgeous, tiny clown theater. Ridiculously a request from the universe and crayon was answered. Co owner Kevin Krieger said, that’s what made the theater burning down the most devastating. We put our hearts in sold into turning this strip mall space into a beautiful little theater, and it’s gone.
Queger said Clare, and I would love to keep teaching and keep creating space for people to create. We get to be the owners of it, but in reality was really a community effort. I’m looking forward to doing it again. Theater isn’t the space, it’s the people that come to it and make it a vibrant place to be. The La Times ends the article with the picnic table and remains standing.
And that is your comedy news for today. I will see you tomorrow.
