Fun will be afoot at the Playground (which is celebrating its tenth anniversary!) this weekend with the Blewt! stand-up showcase this Saturday following Don't Spit The Water at midnight. The show is free, and will feature sets by Robert Buscemi, Ken Barnard, and other Blewt! favorites.

Also, as you can see, the Blewt!ies are now in cartoon form, thanks to artist, puppet-maker and creative wizard Noah Ginex, and we're already predicting that little Isabella Gadlin, already recruited by Dad to join the comedy family, is either going to grow up to be a famous comedian herself, or a much psychoanalyzed show biz kid (or, of course, both).

Our Big Poppa the Apiary is reporting that "ABC has ordered the most sitcoms of all the nets, including 'Cavemen' and 'Carpoolers' with TJ Miller, who was stoked when he and Pete Holmes announced it Friday at Gutbucket, the monthly UCB stand-up open mike they host."

And, in an abbreviated New Video Wednesday contribution, check out Andy Ross and Steve Delahoyde's "German Club", also featuring Becky Garcia, Nick Leggin, and Josh Cheney. Best of luck with recruiting, there, Andy. Maybe a "free schnitzel with every signup" enticement might help.
