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.

NSFW! VIEWER BEWARE! ADULT CONTENT.

James and wowlebrity Thairin Smothers go to the re-opening party for Patti Astor’s legendary FUN Gallery, which launched the careers of such art icons as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and Futura 2000, and was the epitome of East Village NYC cool for its 5-year run from 1981 to 1985. The gallery was the hang-out of such NYC superstars as Andy Warhol, Fab Five Freddy, Debbie Harry and the Beastie Boys. The celebratory return of the FUN Gallery is being hosted by the Meltdown Comics gallery space in West Hollywood, and all sorts of New York luminaries and young art kids are on-hand at the party to celebrate. James chats with the fabulous and legendary Patti Astor herself, as well as art star Shepard Fairey (of “Obey” and Obama’s “Hope” poster fame), NY underground film director Anita Rosenberg, Lenora Claire, Cobrasnake (who discusses his recent Twitter scandal with Perez Hilton, Demi Moore and her daughter Tallulah), theremin virtuoso Armen Ra, Chuck Crook, DJ Charles Rosenberg (from the original FUN Gallery), Gregory Alexander, Steve Strange, art duo The London Police, featured artist Nathan Meier and many more. PLUS, James works his magic to get a few party-goers to flash some boob and peen (very NSFW)!
