Our baby brother The Coming is live and online in Los Angeles as of...now. We're coast to coast, y'all. (Next stop? Outpost on Mars. Those little green dudes are doing some hilarious stuff with sketch and short film these days.)

Who's the first interview? Former Chicagoan Jimmy Pardo, who talks about Superbowl madness, being the hostie with the mostie, and that dick in junior high who was just dying to pound his kidneys: "I was a junior in High School and this bully named 'Barry' wanted to kick my ass for no other reason than he didn’t 'get me'. Didn’t know why people found me funny or girls found me interesting. He was the size of a truck and he came up to me and said it was 'Go Time!' and I convinced him that since we both knew he could take me, why go through the motions. He knows he can, I know he can… so let’s just agree it could be done. He fell for this and I continued my streak of never being in a physical altercation."

We're looking forward to catching the brilliant Morgan Murphy at the People Under the Stares show tonight at the Hideout. Morgan did a hilarious article for Viceland about getting punched in the face...on purpose. She also recently blogged about her wrapped music-and-comedy tour with Aimee Mann: "So, the tour with Aimee is over. Maybe the most impressive show I've ever been a part of. Certainly different than working with all comics. There are reviews online, so I won't bore you with play-by-plays, but it basically added up to a variety show with music and bits of comedy. Paul F Tompkins hosted most of the shows, and was his usual, charming, hilarious self. John C. Reilly was amazing on the west coast, Fred Armisen was equally amazing on the east, and Grant Lee Phillips played the whole tour gravitating between musician and host." Locals Mike Bridenstine (Blerds.com), Fay Canale (SpitFire), and Hannibal (Montreal Just For Laughs) feature tonight.
