Because there isn’t enough Trump already on your television.
The segment, which touched on alleged Russian hacking, Obamacare, and racism, aired on Comedy Central yesterday.
Forget President Obama and Mitt Romney. Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly will debate the issues of the day on October 6 at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University.
Here’s one you might reasonably assume you’d misheard: “I doubt I would ever have gotten into stand-up comedy if not for 9/11.” The speaker is Tissa Hami, one of the five subjects of Stand-Up: Muslim American Comics Come of Age, local D.C. filmmaker Glenn Baker’s almost too-brisk profile of a loose group of comics who have banded together to challenge the perception that all Muslims are humorless fundamentalists. While Hami is the only one of…
Even before our scatterbrained, ADHD world began over-prescribing Ritalin, we giggled at Steven Wright’s one-liners on SNL during the ‘80s. If you’re like us, maybe you even stayed up late into the night listening to albums like I Have a Pony. His brand of comedy, as something of an intellectual punster, appealed to us as kids just as much as it does today. Jokes like, “I was walking in the woods all by myself. A…
>> Those little snow flurries you see outside your office window are just the warm-up for the arctic temperatures that await us tonight. Remember your long johns tomorrow morning, when temps will be in the teens and “strong northerly winds will create frigid wind chills.” Oh, weatherman. You sweet talker. [ABC 7] >> Hey China, over here! You need 18 baby panda names, do you? We’ve got all the panda-naming experience you need right here….

Which leads us to wonder how the FBI feels about having a cache of weapons and equipment stolen from two cars parked on Capitol Hill Sunday. Now the Feds are working with local authorities to find the pilfered guns. This begs the question: Is it sound policy to…
Since when does HR-57, Washington’s Center for the Preservation of Jazz & Blues, also care about the preservation of giggles? The historic venue is arranged like an interactive music archive, with live jam sessions multiple times a week. All ages come to experience the Ellingtons and Armstrongs of past and present, but now the non-profit cultural center is trying its hand at another national treasure — comedy. The HR-57 organization — yes, notice the “dot…
FRIDAY: >> After a superb D.C. debut last year in the back room, Pleaseeasaur is returning to theBlack Cat tonight, this time on the mainstage, opening for San Diego’s Pinback. J.P. Hasson and his invisible sidekick Thomas Hurley III are apparently taking a break this month from recording a new Comedy Central-sponsored album to perform a number of valuable pubilc service announcements. Did you know, for example, that “Cobras are Totally Cool?” Or, for that…
FRIDAY: Tired of us telling you about good concerts that have already sold out? Ready to get your St. Paddy’s Day celebrations started a week early? Well consider Fado Irish Pub as here to the rescue. They’ll be hosting a raffle tonight at 8 p.m. for tickets to the sold-out Pogues concert at 9:30 Club this very night.
