HEADS UP
UCB’s Ultimate Comedy Bash @ Maverick Saloon, Santa Ynez (Fresh Faces night) Fri Oct 9
UCB’s Ultimate Comedy Bash @ Solvang Festival Theater, Solvang (Dual matinee shows) Sat Oct 10
Attention, comedy fans and denizens of Los Angeles at large: LA’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre is taking over the Solvang area this weekend, and we have a fun getaway in store for you at this time:
- You’ll travel up to Solvang on Saturday (on your own dime)
- Maybe you will enjoy some local grape (on your own dime)
- You might enjoy a bit of food (again, on your own dime)
- And then you will laugh! (On our dime)
The laugh will most likely be caused by something witnessed or heard during the back-to-back afternoon UCB Theatre shows you will waltz into, free of charge, up in old Solvang. Following this laugh, whether or not you stay in Solvang, journey farther north to The Madonna Inn, get sidetracked by a steaming bowl of pea soup in Buellton, stop in at the Hitching Post for a glass of red with Thomas Haden Church or end up at Neverland…well, those are all options once you find yourself north of Santa Barbara. Good luck and may you return in one piece.

The DF Interview: Charlie Fisher of “The Pilot’s Season”
By
DF - Thursday April 23rd 2009
Sarah Silverman. David Cross. Isla Fisher. Andy Dick. Kathy Griffin. Sam Seder. The crème de la improv circuit. Someday, DF may interview some or all of these people. Today, though, he will interview someone who has met all of them instead: Charles “Charlie” Fisher.
It’s often said of writers that their resumes are so long that they cannot be summarized with anything approaching brevity. This is not true of Charlie, but DF is still not going to summarize his resume here because it would be a pain in the ass. Suffice to say that Charlie is many things: sender of emails, resident of the greater LA area, seafood aficionado, and (most saliently for our current purposes) screenwriter who has worked with several celebrities.
This week, Charlie’s magnum opus, The Pilot’s Season, had its online debut on mydamnchannel.com, after an earlier run in 2004 with the now-defunct Trio network. Today, DF converses with this megawatt supernova of a writing genius in an interview exclusive to Losanjealous. Let’s watch!!!

Sung - Monday June 02nd 2008
Flight of The Conchords like to talk about issues while keeping it funky. So we came up with a few issues of our own based on observations of their first of two sold out shows at Downtown’s Orpheum. I know it’s only Monday but let’s get down to business:

Our Dumb World Editors @ Skylight Books Saturday
By
Ryan - Friday January 25th 2008
The editors of Our Dumb World: The Onion’s Atlas of The Planet Earth will be at Skylight Books on Vermont this coming Saturday (1/26) at 5pm. If you haven’t yet had the chance to peruse the book, I can attest that it’s drop dead funny and, unfortunately, spot-on accurate more often than not (ok ok – relatively so). Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to (a) have your breastbone signed, (b) monopolize the Q&A session with your inane questions.

“Farts and Dwarfs–Does That Answer Your Question?” A Q&A with the Authors of Comedy By The Numbers
By
Victor - Monday May 07th 2007
Set to take it’s rightful spot on your bookshelf, next to your Strunk & Whites and Funk & Wagnalls’s, comes the indispensable new reference guide to be penned by two authors, Hoffman & Rudoren’s COMEDY BY THE NUMBERS©. Published by McSweeney’s, this book catalogs almost 170 universal archetypes of Comedy. Each numbered entry includes examples, often illustrated, demonstrating appropriate usage so that you may check your own comedic usages. The book is sure to become an essential manual for homemakers, script puncher-uppers, eccentric know-it-alls of all ages and many others. Rather than “review” the book which would require actually “reading” said book, I conducted a hard-hitting Q&A with the authors. The frequently hilarious results are “cut and pasted” below.
If you wish to skip the Q&A portion and go straight to purchase the book, you may do so by clicking here.
