That reminds me of a Robin Williams joke he told on Carson. "Sado Claus" in San Fran

Highly recommend watching the whole interview, including Part 1. His brain was both broken and brilliant

I'm in.

Apparently, the ladies from the talk show are quite cool. No 4-5 photos are memes, but No. 1 is how they really started Tuesday's show:

has anyone here taken an improv class before? I signed up for one in January. All I can imagine it’ll be like is Whose Line

speaking of Whose Line, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood have a touring improv show. I’m going to see them in Baltimore in my way up to NY for Xmas

Didn't see this until now. If it's a useful class you'll spend 2 hours on the concept of "yes, and", and you'll play maybe 5 games with absolutely no expectation that you'll be either good or funny. I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment expecting Whose Line.

I've never done it, but Mrs Tif was in an improv theater company for 3 or 4 years, and has taken classes at The Groundlings. #gruntyverse

Let's see what Jim's up to these days on stage.

Dafuuuq??

[Dickie Dunn]

Jim needs to start smoking weed again.

[tifosi77]

That's tragic and dreadful.

[shafnutz05]

Jim needs to start smoking weed again.

Yes.

[blackjack68]

Oh Jim, that’s just sad.

the improv class I mentioned before ended this week

my god, that was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. of course a lot do the games we’re super basic (the main lessons in the beginning we’re trusting your gut and saying whatever ever as well as how to build scenes) but this week we played some short form games including party quirks (which they do in whose line). The classes were 2 hours long but they seemed to end too soon. met some genuinely fun and nice people and most of us are gonna take the level 2 course which starts next week

[meecrofilm]

Improv is fun. Met a few of my better friends through the scene. I always encourage anyone to take a 101 class. Like MiHM says, it's a blast.

[dodint]

That's great, enjoy the next one.

For any fans, tix are available for Joe Pera's "Spring in the Midwest and Rustbelt" Tour at the Munhall Music Hall in May.

[tifosi77]

Mrs Tif is flying to Vegas for an overnight, and Jim Jeffries is on her flight. I told her to tell him she doesn't like rape.

[mikey]

Oddly, when I read this post, Jim Jeffries was actively talking in a YT video I had in the background...

FYI for those of you on the eastern side of the state: Dave Attell will be performing at Parx Casino on 6/25.

[mikey]

I always forget that he's not dead...cool

[meow]

I remember loving his show at the time, but haven’t thought about him in…15 years

[NTP66]

He’s still around, and still funny as hell. My wife and I would be attending if we weren’t on vacation at the time.

[shafnutz05]

I saw Leno tonight at the AMT in Lancaster. Side note: As long as you are okay with no booze being sold, that is the one of the nicest places in the country to see a show. Nothing at the snack bar is over $3. Cleanest theater I've been to.

I used to love staying up late on Mondays in high school for the monologue and headlines. This definitely scratched an itch. Jay was funny, topical, down to earth, occasionally edgy, and it was one of those shows where you are kind of vaguely smiling the whole time. Definitely could see why he was always revered at the Comedy Store.

[mikey]

What was his stand up like these days? Surprised he does it...

[shafnutz05]

What was his stand up like these days? Surprised he does it...

Yeah, it revolved around a lot of stories from when he was younger. Early days of the Tonight Show, old standup stories from his early days, etc. He must still love doing it, because I can't imagine he needs the money at this point.
