Welcome to November, the first of two months of non-stop consumerism we call the “holiday” season. Before you spend all your meager remaining monies on gifts and “egged noggs” we’ve got a list of some ways to bring the gift of laughter to your broke ass. We got tours! We got comedy albums! We got live comedy specials! We also have a great pumpkin pie recipe, but that’s a whole other article. Hold onto your turkeys (read as: “balls”) because it’s the November Comedy Laugh-down 2011.
STAND-UP SPECIALS
T.J. Miller: “No Real Reason” - November 12th
Comedy Central brings us the first full ONE HOUR comedy special, and it’s a doozy. We’ve profiled T.J. Miller more than once here on CraveOnline.com. Why? Because he’s amazing! His unique stream of consciousness comedy style and his amazing command of the audience’s emotions is a joy to watch. We’ve already seen this special and we HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who isn’t dead inside. Hell, watch it if you are dead inside, maybe it will bring you back to life.
Keep it turned to CraveOnline.com for a full review of the special, as well as an interview with the man himself, the indescribable T.J. Miller.
Donald Glover: “Weirdo” - November 20th
Donald Glover who was listed in our 2011 Actors to Watch list, is also a comedian to watch during this or any month. The Community star and member of Derrick Comedy (my favorite American sketch troupe) is doing his second special, and this time it’s a full hour. We’ve already seen this special too, and it also gets a big thumbs up from CraveOnline.com and kittens everywhere. I had the chance to see some of this comedy as it was developed on stages around Los Angeles and I am so glad Comedy Central has brought a few of these jokes to the masses. Tune in or be sad forever. Troy and Abed in the morning! (unrelated).
Keep your eyes glued to CraveOnline.com for a full review of this special. Our “Actors to Watch” 2012 edition will be on the TV Channel in December. Glover is a favorite to make the list for a second year.
