Blame Society for Chad Vadar
Within the vast black hole of the internet, one certainty that’s always…uh…certain, is that anyone with a camera and an the ability to pound the letters y-o-u-t-u-b-e on a keyboard, will eventually take a shot at making the world laugh. Sometimes they’ll hit comedy gold; other times, they’ll just hit someone in the balls or botch a back flip off of a Coke machine.
Mitch Hedberg – Do You Believe In Gosh? by Keith Lowell Jensen
The obvious joke of course, would be to call Mitch Hedberg the Tupac Chakur of comedy, now that he, like the slain rap star, is issuing posthumous recordings. Here at Sacramento Comedy.Com, we have no problem whatsoever with making the obvious joke, so lets just go with that shall we?
My Parachute Is A Bowling Ball
Whenever I hear descriptive terms like “good clean fun” or “fun for the entire family”, and the word “Disneyland” isn’t included in the sentence, in my mind I think “boring!”

Pow? No, Pow Wow!

Featured alongside host Charlie Hill are Larry Omaha, Howie Miller and four up-and-comers making their mark on the standup scene: Marc Yaffee, Jim Rule, Vaughn Eagle Bear and JR Redwater.
Sacramento Comedy Spot in Midtown
Oh, you are going to love this!
One of my favorite comedy houses has gone up town! (er.. mid-town) more accurately!
The Comedy Spot flavor is more like what one would experience at alternative comedy theaters in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, such as Upright Citizens Brigade.
So, Sacramento, if you haven’t experienced the eclectic mix of comedy, improv, music and long form sketch comedy, you MUST attend these shows!

Colbert Nation goes for the Gold?
That’s right! As revealed during the historic showlast week, The Colbert Nation is now the primary sponsor of the US Speedskating team. The Colbert Nation is filling the holes that our recession has left, becoming the newest sponsor of the US Speedskating Team, replacing the now defunct Dutch DSB. They may not get their own flag at the Opening Ceremonies, but The Colbert Nation will be represented in Vancouver.
Jamie Kennedy – Heckler by Bryan Yang
This movie has been out for about a year but I watched it recently on SHOWTIME. This review by Brian Yang is a little “critical” of the movie, yet those who know me know how much I hate hecklers, mean spirited critics and self professed “experts”. Read Brian’s review, but I encourage you to rent the DVD if you are a true comedy fan.
What's New at Comedy Central?
So it looks like Comedy Central will be turning it’s gaze even more “stand-up-ward,” later this year as the Daily Show’s Brit correspondent, John Oliver, will be heading up a new series called “John Oliver & Friends.”
Retro Review – Lily Tomlin and Bobcat Goldthwait
Lily Tomlin has never been purely a stand up comedian. She can be regarded as one of the pioneer’s of the one woman show. With her long time partner Jane Wagner, Tomlin has always presented a wild ensemble of characters since she first entered the public consciousness portraying Edith Ann on Laugh In. This approach is suited perfectly to the stand up comedy record as witnessed on 1975’s Modern Scream, the comedienne’s first attempt at vinyl.
