Jonah Ray’s MELTDOWN. Friday, March 19th. at 8PM $8 bux!

MELTDOWN. This will be a fun show. Please come out and reblog and spread the word.  It’s a great line up: Whitney Cummings. I’m not sure if you saw her on the Joan  Rivers roast but she completely dominated. She’s got such a  great stage presence with really punchy jokes to back it up. Recently  she starred in a pilot Produced by Ben Stiller, Directed by David Wain,  and co-starring John Goodman. Duncan Trussell. Duncan just recently wrapped up writing for NICK  SWARDSONS sketch show on Comedy Central and has been progressively been  becoming my favorite comic to see. One of the smartest and funniest guys  around.  Eric Appel. Eric has been consistently pumping out amazing sketches  since starting up on the Andy Milonakis Show back in 2005. Recently,  he’s written on Crank Yankers, Human Giant and has been  responsible for some of my favorite videos on FUNNY OR DIE, where he is a  staffed Writer/Producer/Director. On top of that you can see him  perform every sunday with Community’s Donald Glover at the UCB  Theatres SHITTY JOBS. K.P. Anderson. K.P. has been the Executive Producer and Head Writer of  THE SOUP w/ Joel McHale for the past 5 years. Having been able to work  side by side with him has been a delight. He regularly opens up for Joel  McHale all across the country. Come see his rare L.A. appearance. Brent Weinbach. Ask any comic that has performed with Brent and they  will tell you ONLY good things. One of the more quoted and referenced  comedians within the comedy community. I often find myself trying to  describe his bits to friends and am always falling short of being able  to. It truly is only something that you have to experience live. Plus Special Guest: STEVE AGEE. Steve, a regular cast member on the  Sarah Silverman Program is a wreck. One of the funniest hypochondriacs  you will ever come across. Steve will swing by to talk about why he  might just be about to die or almost just did. This is a show full of headliners and I couldn’t be more happy  to show them to everybody who comes. This is handpicked comedy.

MELTDOWN.

‘Penny Arcade’ Creators Reveal The ‘Splendid Magic’ Of Webcomics, Gaming, And Their First Book Tour

‘Penny Arcade’ Creators Reveal The ‘Splendid Magic’ Of Webcomics, Gaming, And Their First Book Tour.

One of the most popular and longest-running webcomics of all time, “Penny Arcade” has become so much more than that since the first strip was posted in 1998. Now, creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik are not only the authors of the regularly updated comic about video games and gaming culture, but also the founders of Child’s Play, a charity that provides toys for children’s hospitals, and Penny Arcade Expo, an annual gaming convention.

This week, the pair kicks off a nationwide book tour for “The Splendid Magic of Penny Arcade: The 11 1/2 Anniversary Edition,” which chronicles the rise of “Penny Arcade” from niche comic to global phenomenon. Beginning February 23 in Seattle, running through PAX East, and concluding March 31 in St. Louis, the “Splendid Magic” tour is the first of its kind for the duo.

MTV News managed to catch the hardworking pair in a rare moment of downtime, and picked their brains about the new book, the evolution of the webcomic medium, gaming, Twitter, and yes… “Penny Arcade: The Movie.”
