I went and saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo today and it was a fine film. I noticed while waiting for the movie to start they tell you not to use your cell phone during the movie at least three times.

Part I of this series on running a succesful open mic was on clarifying and understanding your own goals for starting a show. Now, we move on to the next challenge--in some ways the most important: finding a venue.

COMEDY IN THE NEWS


Bumped?! In LOS ANGELES?! Surely, you jest!
The other mopey comic is T.J. Miller, who took his frustrations out via Twitter. He expresses outrage that Cook would bump comedians....
Hastily Made Funny Man
"You have no idea what a chubby little cash cow you are," Mike Polk says to his housemate.
Exclusive audio interview: Jim Norton talks Weiner, Tracy Morgan, addiction.
I sat down with comedian Jim Norton at his home on Sunday to catch up on all things current, where his career is headed and much more. We talked about New York Rep. Anthony Weiner's photo scandal, about Tracy Morgan's anti-gay tirade and about Jim's new projects, which may include a new book and a television pilot centered around Norton's sex addiction.
Greg Proops: The Punchline Magazine interview
How were the audiences down there in Australia compared to here in America, or even here in LA? They're with it. I think they're really good. I don't think the comics are at the LA level and I hope they wouldn't be mad at me for saying that. Some of them are, obviously; they're tremendous. I just think they're so many professional comedians in Los Angeles. Australia's only got 30 million people, but I thought the comics were quite good and I thought the audiences were really with it and keen. You know, they put me under a microscope, man. You get reviewed because you're an international artist and you come down and they fucking come to your show and write about it. So I got ripped a few times.
Inside and Out
Julia Scotti writes of her first time back onstage at The Comedy Works in Bristol, PA: I'm on. Thank you! It's good to be back.! A lot has happened in these last eleven years&let's see, I went back to college, got my degree, my parents died, upgraded my cable package&and oh yeah&I HAD A SEX CHANGE.

Why Patton Oswalt tore into an Audience member!
Patton Oswalts website crashed for a short time on Saturday morning. The reason? Too many thousands of his fans were clamoring simultaneously to read the comedians response to some pretty harsh words about him, which were posted the evening before on a local Los Angeles comedians Tumblr. That comedian, Barbara Gray, a self-professed fan (now, former fan) of Oswalts was pissed off. The title of her post: That One Time When Patton Oswalt Was An Asshole.
Which funny dude would you bang? Ty Burell, Kevin Hart, Seth MacFarlane or Joel McHale?
We don't know about you guys, but we're sick of female comedians constantly being objectified based on their looks. We think it's high time folks start objectifying funny dudes. Right? Right.
Laughspin presents the 10 best comedy albums of 2011
The end of the year is approaching fast, comedy fans. And so it's time to count down the 10 best comedy albums of the year. As in years past, this list represents the albums we feel were the strongest. Let it be known: there were more than 150 comedy albums released this year. Let it also be known, that since we launched in 2005 (when we were Punchline Magazine), there has never been a stronger year for quality stand-up albums. It was incredibly difficult to get this list down to 10.

It's the new hack!
The new, new hack. Trashing wildly popular comics and their fans! It's all the rage! And this time, the trashing comes with a twist: It's perpetrated by a comic! (Jason Serafino. We mention his name in passing.)
