After 11 hilarious weeks and nearly 10,000 entries, Pauly Casillas (@PaulyPeligroso) has been named champion.<br />
<br />
Casillas won the Week 5 joke category, “Worst Pick-Up Lines,” to achieve finalist status and go head-to-head with the nine other weekly finalists from across the nation. It was Casillas’ joke in the final round – ”What would you do for a Klondike bar?” – where he claimed his title as the Klondike king of 140-character comedy. Though not a comedy pro quite yet, Casillas is well on his way to making a name for himself as an established comedian. Well known in the online comedy space with nearly 90,000 Twitter followers, Casillas also performs stand-up comedy, taking the stage to hone his skills as often as he can.<br />
<br />
As part of the grand-prize package, Casillas will receive an all-expense-paid VIP trip to the New York Comedy Festival in November, where he’ll get to hang out with Rob Delaney, who will be performing at the Festival. Delaney’s show starts at 7:30 p.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 12 at the NYU Skirball Center in lower Manhattan.<br />

With the chance to join the film’s cast and Internet music sensation Mike Tompkins in the video, amateur musicians and dancers are encouraged to submit their best vocals; signature moves; beatbox; and/or guitar, bass, synth and back-up sounds to accompany this cover of Nicki Minaj’s worldwide smash.<br />
<br />
With multiple options for participation, fans may submit their entries at www.pitchperfectmovie.com/musicvideo. Those selected for the project will have their video showcased on both the Blu-ray DVD of Pitch Perfect and Tomkins’ YouTube channel, which currently has more than 550,000 subscribers.<br />
<br />
“Pitch Perfect celebrates everyone out there who is following his or her true passion,” said the film’s director, Jason Moore. “Mike Tompkins embodies passion for music, and we’re thrilled to be able to partner with him on this project. I can’t wait to watch the undiscovered talent that I know we’ll find.”<br />
<br />
“When Universal approached me with the idea to make a video for Pitch Perfect, I knew it would be a fun partnership,” noted Tompkins. “Making music has driven me since I was a kid, and I know there are many others out there who love it as much as I do. I’m looking forward to seeing what we are able to create together.”<br />
<br />
This is the first time Tompkins has collaborated with filmmakers, talent and a studio on the official music video for a movie. Tompkins, represented by Maker Studios—a next-generation talent-first music company—is best known for creating his own unique twist on music covers using only his voice and mouth. As his popularity rose, he was noticed by some of the biggest names in entertainment and has since collaborated as a producer and writer with Timbaland and been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, NBC’s TODAY show and PerezHilton.com, among others. Tompkins and Alana Da Fonseca arranged this new a cappella version of “Starships,” which was written by Nicki Minaj, RedOne, Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub and Wayne Hector.<br />
<br />
All submissions must be received by August 22, 2012. Please visit www.pitchperfectmovie.com/musicvideo for entry details and terms and conditions.<br />
<br />
About Pitch Perfect<br />
<br />
Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect.<br />
<br />
When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college music competitions. This could wind up either the coolest thing they’ll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.<br />
<br />
Loaded with new takes on old favorites to hits of right now that are seamlessly mixed together, mashed-up and arranged like you’ve never heard before, Pitch Perfect is directed by Jason Moore, who opened our eyes to the very misbehaved life of puppets in the surprise Broadway sensation Avenue Q. www.pitchperfectmovie.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Subscribe to The Comic Bible Magazine. www.thecomicbible.com</div>ComicBiblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09090166009249718116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330284955735026720.post-31102219148236666542012-08-08T12:18:00.001-04:002012-08-08T12:18:05.642-04:00Jeff Ross Roasts Roseanne Uncensored & AmericaPREVIEW JEFF ROSS' ROAST OF ROSEANNE BARR<br />

Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne was Live at the Hollywood Palladium August 4, 2012. Comic Bible Host Tamara Henry covered the event.<br />
<br />
The red carpet was packed with stars out to roast or see Roseanne be skewered with laughs. On the red carpet roasters prepared; the running joke was "WHAT THE HELL IS THE COMIC BIBLE!!??"<br />
<br />
Inside, the stage was set to look like the house on "Roseanne". Roseanne, who wreaked of marijuana, looked simply stunning in her silver
chiffon and frosted silver hair, and her smile was magical throughout
the entire show.<br />
Sharon Stone was a no show, Ellen Barkin was her replacement. <br />
"Sons of Anarchy" Matriarch Katy Sagal, Alicia Goranson gave a great
display of comedic timing and the use of orchestrated silence. The brunt
of the lowest and meanest jokes fell on Wayne Brady and Amy Schumer and
Carrie Fisher. At the end Tom Arnold made a surprise appearance after not being in the
same room with Roseanne for 18 years. Tom's voice sounded like David
Letterman and he told Roseanne she was his Johnny Carson. The show ended with a climactic comical ending from
Gilbert Gottfried and a standing ovation as a redemptive Roseanne
successfully sang the last two lines of the National Anthem. <br />
The last roast was Charlie Sheen and this roast was like Politically Incorrect meets the Vagina Monologues. A must see show on Sunday August 12th at 10pm on Comedy Central.<br />

television’s rich past to reinvent comedy for the future. Both a
contemporary spin on multi-camera comedy and an alternative development
platform, THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR will feature four unique short-form
sitcoms – or “short-coms” – in a fast-paced hour-long broadcast. Each
short-com will feature both established and up-and-coming actors and
comedians in one-act scenes, creating a comedy showcase brimming with
today’s best, brightest and freshest voices.<br />
<br />
“We are
basically ripping open the traditional scripted comedy development
process with THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR,” said Kevin Reilly, President of
Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Our end goal is to provide
distinct comedy voices with a world-class platform to experiment, grow
and perfect their ideas and to hopefully build them into mainstream
comedy hits in the future. We’re looking forward to seeing what the
untapped comedy community has to offer.”<br />
<br />
The short-com
development process will be as distinct as the end result, featuring
hand-picked talent from the world of stand-up comedy. In an effort to
open up the traditional development process, FOX will facilitate a
creatively open environment for comedy talent to hone their voices and
material within the context of their self-produced short-coms.<br />
<br />
In
addition to airing them as part of THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR, FOX will
commission the most fully realized of these scripted vignettes to
series, helping to seed the future of the FOX multi-camera brand.<br />
<br />
They are currently scouting in Montreal at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. <br />

I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny. I'm so excited to perform a special series of shows for my beloved home town," said Seinfeld.<br /><br />Seinfeld’s five-borough performances will all fall on Thursday nights – the same as the television show that bore his name – and will feature special guest Colin Quinn, who Seinfeld directed in the hit Broadway show “Colin Quinn: Long Story Short” at the Helen Hayes Theater in 2010-11.<br /><br />Tickets for all five-borough shows go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 30 at 10 am.

Hilarious new movie UNICORN CITY - Now Available to Order on Apple iTunes<br />
<br />
UNICORN CITY follows unemployed tabletop gamer Voss as he entices local gamers to create a utopia to impress a potential employer. However, paradise is disrupted when his nemesis lays claim to the city and Voss's true love.<br />
<br />
Starring: Devin McGinn, Jaclyn Hales, Jon Gries, Matt Mattson<br />
Directed By: Bryan Lefler<br />
<br />
<br />
Game developer, Warlocks of the Beach, has offered Voss, an unemployed table-top gamer, the chance at a management position if he can demonstrate real leadership abilities. Given one week to prove himself, Voss convinces Marsha, a long-time gamer friend, to help him entice the guild into his scheme to get a job, and he creates Unicorn City. However, Shadow Hawk, Voss' nemesis, shows up, and knowing exactly what buttons to push, challenges Voss to a battle of wits.<br />
<br />
In one fair swoop Voss damages his friendship with Marsha, loses his honor, and is kicked out of the utopia he created. Voss leaves a failure but recognizes his deceit and knows that he must return to rescue Marsha and reclaim his role as a Bardladin Knight, master of Unicorn City.<br />
Unicorn City is hilarious epic tale of love, action, mystery, and orcs; everything a bad camping trip needs. It's the perfect place for anyone who wants to become what they pretend to be.<br />

<br />
<br />
Many interviews with comics talk about how important it is for a comedian to “find their voice” and be real on stage. This movie is Mike’s story of his journey to reaching that point. Mike Birbiglia’s film Sleepwalk with Me is a great story of how an artist, particularly a comedian, matures and grows in their craft. A lot of what drives us is our life experience and how we interact with it because of who we are. This movie does a great job of encapsulating the experience of a struggling artist/comedian and how those experiences shaped Mike into who he is both as a person and as a comedian<br />
Mike is a great story teller as a comedian and that really translated well to the big screen.<br />
I thoroughly enjoyed the film. I found it to be both funny and touching. The acting was very good with a solid cast behind the film and the flow of the film was unique but easy to follow. Mike narrates the film from his car from time to time which really added to the overall feel of the movie.<br />
This is definitely a movie every comedian who wants to “go pro” should see. The part of the movie that shows Mike’s experience with working the road and starting his career is a pretty clear picture of what comedians should expect. The struggles he faces in different clubs and shows and the stress of the road really does a great job showing the audience the reality of what every comic thinks they want: The life of a working act. It’s definitely a tough long road between doing $100 shows 6 hours away and having your name on the Marquee of the Chicago Theater. This film is a definite must see that’s ability to touch the audience goes beyond those in the comedy industry.<br />

<br />If bite-sized chicken can grow up, so can you! COMEDY CENTRAL has teamed up with KFC to create the original digital series and contest “Growing Up and Getting Out.” Launching today, the five episode web series taps into the growing numbers of millennials (1 in 4) who are moving back home to live with their parents. The partnership also launches a socially-fuelled contest that asks fans each week to share pictures and stories on freerentcontest.com that express the humorous side of living at home with their parents. At the end of the campaign (July 17 – August 20), five winners will receive ‘rent for the year’ in the amount of $12,000 cash. Winners will also receive an additional $500 in cash and $600 in KFC Chicken Checks redeemable for Original Recipe Bites or other KFC products to cater a moving out party. Winners will be encouraged to give $100 of the Chicken Checks to their parents in celebration of “Growing Up and Getting Out.”<br />The digital original “Growing Up and Getting Out” features a talented cast from stand-up, improv and sketch comedy. The series, which launched on July 17 (freerentcontest.com), revolves around Michael (played by comedian Michael Palascak) and chronicles funny moments as he adjusts to moving back home with his parents (played by comedians Dave Koechner [“The Office,” “Anchorman”] and Mo Collins [“MADtv”]). Rounding out the cast are Alexis Knapp (“Project X”) as Michael’s date, Allyn Rachel as his sister, Daveo Mathias as his friend and “The League’s” Steve Rannazissi as the series host. Each week, the series will capture the drama, tensions and funny moments between at-home millennials and their parents – Homecoming (July 17); Dinner (July 23); Chores (July 30); Date (August 6) and Video Games (August 13).<br />
