Live Comedy L.A.

Chris Franjola will make another appearance on the E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately starring Chelsea Handler. Franjola performs stand-up comedy in L.A. regularly. He’s hilarious - we’ve written about him almost as much as we’ve written about Ryan Sickler (stop your man crush jokes ASAP).

If I had to name a “Top 5 to 7 Stand-Up Comedians Who Have the Potential To Make It on a Sitcom”…Franjola is right there. So if for some reason that burger from your Memorial Day BBQ isn’t sitting right…or you just don’t feel like watching Leno or Letterman and want to check out some L.A. Comedians on T.V….and you’re up…check out Franjola.

Day: Monday, May 26, 2008
Show Time: 11:30pm on E!

I can’t believe I haven’t posted Ari Shaffir’s latest commercial. Ari is a great L.A.-based comedian and part of Joe Rogan’s “Death Squad”…along with Joey Diaz. If you check out Ari’s Youtube page…it looks like he’s been in quite a few commercials. Love that. Check the commercial.

Our girl Christina Paz just had a 3 minute vignette on Last Comic Standing from the Tempe audition. My questions - did her agent get her placement on the show, how did she get such a long segment, and will America be able to spell her last name? CP is too good to have waited in line with everyone else.  The segment was cool…she did an excellent job. Who knew she went to law school for two weeks…then dropped out.

Other L.A. comedians included Josh McDermitt (who was excellent as always), Adam Hunter,  Bobby Miyamoto,  and Rob Little - to be honest…it seemed like all the comedians from the LCS Tempe audition were from L.A.  So if you liked any of them…you can probably see them live any night of the week here.  We’ll keep you in the loop.

CP didn’t make the cut…which is mind boggling.  And neither did Josh McDermitt.  Adam Hunter did make it…so good luck to him.
