I'm an NYC comedy writer. Currently writing for Morgan Spurlock's Mansome. Come check out my sketch team, Onassis, on Maude Night at the UCB Theatre! twitter: @mikescollins |
Here are a few shows I have coming up in NY and LA!
5/20 UCBNY 8:00p - Onassis: No TV, No Texting, No Huckleberry Finn
Brand new Onassis show this Monday! Directed by Onassis alum Alex Scordelis! Paired with the very attractive Supereasy. You can make reservations here for $5!
5/24 UCBLA 11:59p - Not Too Shabby
I’ll be putting up a sketch at this show with the lovely Sarah Claspell and the lovelier John Milhiser. Hosted by The Birthday Boys! Free!
5/25 Artworks Theatre 11:30p - LA Indie Improv Festival
I’ll be doing improv for the first time in a very long time with a lot of former New Yorkers who are much better at it than me.
6/12 UCBNY 9:30p - UCB Comedy Showcase
I’ll be putting up a sketch at this variety showcase with some other amazing UCB folks. This is going to be a really fun one. Reservations will be up soon.
Probably just go on ahead and show up to all of these!
Is this showing up on everybody’s Seamless?
Not sure the name of this but it’s great.
Um if anyone sees Winston Noel can you please have him text me back so we can lock May 31 in as the day we drink every variety of wine the band Train makes?
8 Weirdly Out Of Character Classic Simpsons Jokes
Because the Internet exists for the sole purpose of making ordered non-topical lists about our favorite things.
Three quick notes before we begin:
1) None of this is actual criticism; it’s nerdy, “Genius At Work”-shirted nitpicking purely so we Simpsons-obsessives can talk about The Simpsons. Think of it like a Bible Study, but with more important source material.
2) The examples here are confined to seasons 2-10.
3) This list doesn’t include out-of-character moments where the out-of-characterness is the joke itself, like when Homer puts on glasses and instantly recites the Pythagorean Theorem. This is a very important distinction (in a very important internet list).
That said, onto the weird moments in the best thing ever made!
Dan Hopper is the best.
Ten Ideas
with Ryan Williams and Taylor Moore
episode 42: Yoda Caliber
Friends of the show Halle Kiefer (@HalleKiefer) and Mike Scollins (@mikescollins) visit the Ideanarium to talk about what else, but background checks for guns, hahahaha, LOL JK, we talk about Starburst Gum, bespoke dogs, college Yodas, condoms for kissing, the end of selfies, and MORE helpful mayonnaise. Come drop by! The Ideanarium is out behind the Krogers on Route 12 just past the Human Elephant Graveyard, not the graveyard for human-elephant hybrids, the other one.
Here you go, Jordan!
Hey Jordan, did you see this already? Here you go.
Jennifer Lawrence Photobombs Sarah Jessica Parker at Met Ball
She used her Hunger Games stealth.
This photobomb is great but the best part is how delighted Marion Cotillard is by it.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to kiss Marion Cotillard.

Bluth’s Original Frozen Banana Stand is coming to a city near you.
The tour kicks off in London and travels across the pond and will likely pop up in New York and Los Angeles. Be on the lookout for cast members to make surprise appearances.
You best believe I’m going to go to it in New York. This will be me:
There’s ALWAYS money in the banana stand.
You guys. Text “ANN” to 619-EGG-VEAL (619-344-8325) and you’ll get a reply that says “Her?” and you will aso be alerted via text message once Arrested Development season 4 is live on Netflix.
Better yet, if you call that that number, it plays the Final Countdown!
This is brilliant.
