‎2011 Comedy Bang Bang Nativity Pageant

[jcarlon]

Ok, so this should probably go in the Los Angeles Shows forum...but I think its AST: Comedy forum worthy.

Strangely, I found a list of the lineup on the World Dodgeball Society's facebook page. They are apparently helping in putting together the show. Cool?

I live blocks away from this theater! 5 am wakeup call on the 14th be damned, I will be going!

I've noticed Scott hasn't said much about when tickets go on sale on any of his recent podcast appearances. Anybody have an info I don't? Luckily the Montalban is a larger theater so tickets shouldn't sell out as fast as previous years, right?

[jcarlon]

Go get your tickets!

So, do we know what comes with the VIP tickets?

"premium seat, vip lounge access, gift bag."

So glad this is happening in a bigger theatre this year, if only so that I have a bit of time to ask friends if they're interested in going with me.

Does anybody know how long the show generally lasts?

[Itslikeimsayin]

Four hours or so, typically, iirc.

There's no chance I can make it to L.A. I know I'm probably not the only one who would pay a premium for a video download, or a live-stream of this event.

Last one I attended was in 09 and it went from 830 - 130. I think I read that this one is scheduled to to 730-midnight and that seems about right.

[jcarlon]

Well this was awesome!

Weird Al's sexy dancing will forever be burned into my brain.

Hot Saucerman called me out at the beginning in the "How's everyone doing tonight? How's the guy in Row E, stage right, seat 1 doing tonight?"

Unprepared, I raised my hands in celebration and yelled out "AWESOME" like a drunk frat boy. Why not "whats up hot dog"? Filled with regret.

[Trikywu]

It was a great time last night. And I had the honor of being one of the ladies who had Weird Al grind his crotch into my face!

[stevenac]

It was so fucking awesome. A dream come true. I just wish I'd been able to see Weird Al's dancing from a balcony.

Adam Scott cameo was fucking hilarious

[BillBrasky]

So Al did "Wanna B Ur Lovr"? He's been doing that in concert for his last couple of tours. The show I saw last year, my parents and I were in the front row and my mom was the lucky recipient.

[beewcar]

...wow.

[strangeinterlude]

Seriously. Way to stink up the joint. This show was spectacular.

[Trikywu]

Favorite moments:

-Scott Aukerman hosting hilariously and looking hot. (A little something extra for da ladies.)

-Jimmy Pardo trying to do his game show and selecting people from the audience only to send them back because they spelled their names like arrogant dicks. "Shawn shouldn't be spelled S-E-A-N...it's S-H-A-W-N! Get off the stage. No. just...go sit down..." (He called up one guy only to throw him off because his girlfriend Katie spelled her name Kaite.)

-Weird Al's sexy song...and yes...his crotch in my face.

-Nick Kroll was freaking hilarious.

-Bob Odenkirk telling us he's still looking for parking - his car is at the curb with its blinkers on.

-Paul F. Tompkins as the great Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber with Top hat, sweater and his wear-by-day ermine/velvet robe as he joined Scott in a rendition of "Here Comes, Father Christmas" with Eben Schletter on keyboard.

-Sarah Silverman showing us the tear in her stocking's crotch.

-Adam Scott takes the stage thinking he's presenting at the SAG awards.

-Jon Hamm comes on stage with Matt Braunger to take Todd Glass' jacket and won't leave until he gets a tip.

-Marc Maron re-telling the tale of when he almost died in an airplane while sitting in " The Maron Crouch" ("The Maron Crouch" is a trademark of Bob Odenkirk).

-Jen Kirkman talking about her older sister who smokes and likes Led Zeppelin.

-Andy Daly as Don Donelo.

And since I had to leave early, that's just the tip. I missed Tig, Posehn, Garfunkel/Oats and Lennon to name a few.

Oh...and

-THEY RAISED $35,000 FOR THE LA FOOD BANK!

I respect it when someone isn't into a comedy show because they just don't feel it. Believe me, I've been there. But this show on a whole was NOT mediocre. As stangeinterlude righteously said above - it was "Spectacular".

[scamboogah]

But I heard that Jeselnik and Kumail were the only good parts... WHO TO BELIEVE?

[jcarlon]

kumail and Jeselnik had the best sets. but overall it was a mediocre show.

(Don't worry y'all, I've got this.)

You're mediocre.

Nailed it!

[Trikywu]

Anyone else at the show who can give some highlights after Andy Daly?
