Mindy Kaling appears on Running Your Trap with Jimmy Pardo: You’ve seen other talk shows … well this is a lot like those: There is an opening, there is a sidekick, there are interviews with entertainers and sometimes … some video clips. The only difference? This talk show is hosted by Jimmy Pardo! More information JUST ADDED!

Melora Hardin will be moonlighting from her day job on the highly successful comedy “The Office” to entertaining at the Catalina Jazz Club with her show “At the Water Cooler.” This engagement and show will mark Melora’s debut in the club scene and she’s been in rehearsal now for about six months.

I wish i lived around one of those places!
Sounds like fun. I really want to see Angela perform.
Have any of you seen “Seth and Ed’s Puppet Talk Show”? I might be able to attend and would be interested in hearing a little about it, in order to explain it to the friend I would drag with me. Thanks! :)
Has any of you who have been to the UCB before know how this works? I put an RSVP in and got the confirmation email. The reservation form mentioned “Patrons with reservations are allowed to enter first…seating is provided on a first come first served basis” So, are we guaranteed a seat with the reservation? I don’t want to drive up from Phoenix, only to find that we can’t get in.
I hope all that are going have a ton of fun! Report back please
Last minute, but TONIGHT at UCB, Mindy Kaling!

I went to last month’s seth & ed show. It’s pretty much self explanatory from the pictures though.
It’s a talk show format, but they’re sock puppets.. the guests of the night do some comedy, then grab a puppet and join Seth and Ed behind the puppet stage for an interview. The format is very loose and random banter.
Lemonade, wow, you’re driving from phoenix for this? it’s a relatively short show.. maybe an hour. Last month wasn’t a full house, if you get there a half hour beforehand, you’ll get a seat no problem.
So is it not worth driving up for?
lemonade, it all depends on what you value.. if you want to see Ed Helms in a super small venue, this would be it. just know you’ll primarily be hearing him speak through a sock puppet.
It’s just a very different show than the typical stand-up routine.
heck yeah…ed helms…see you in a few weeks!
Yet more reasons to be jealous of all you west coasters! Perhaps someday I’ll see some of the cast – I’d love to go to BJ’s show at Northwestern next monnth but can’t find any info on how non-students can get tickets.
Lemonade – if you end up going to see Ed’s show, make sure to report back to us!
I just talked to my husband and Mexicanity (and her husband) and I think it’s a go. My brother-in-law lives in LA, so we’ll get to stay with him and visit for the rest of the weekend. So, win-win!
liezl, or anyone else who has gone to see Ed’s show at UCB, does Ed Helms come out at the end and let you meet him/talk to him like Craig Robinson does?
and mg714, no doubt we’ll report back!
Lemonade, for that show, Ed was milling around beforehand setting up the stage.. but afterwards darted backstage. it’s a very small venue, as in 100 people small. It’s a different crowd though, more discriminating comedy fans. Many big name comedians go there to test out material and weed out the stinkers.
I guess comedians like the venue because they have the liberty of walking around or even sitting in the crowd without being mauled by fans or photography. We pretty much leave them alone. That being said, there are opportunities to meet anyone of the guests at UCB, if you’re proactive enough…
Yay lemoñadé, I can’t wait!! This is going to be a lot of fun! Thanks for rsvping..you rock!
i wish they would show the ucb in ny a little love :o)
well Carly, you did get SNL and 30 rock live at your UCB… ;)
