Lorem Ipsum tells the story of a press officer who, faced with a metafictional synopsis, is unsure what to make of it, so he asks the show's author for comment, who quotes him verbatim: "Lorem Ipsum is my second stand-up comedy monologue. And I'm not sure what it's about. I…

Alok announces their first comedy BIOLOGY! Here’s what they say about it: “ I wrote this show after losing my grandfather and drowning in grief. I couldn't understand why people were wasting their time hating one another, when life is so precious and short. At the end of the day we are all beautifully and biologically mortal. When we remember that we are all eventually headed for death, most of living is the ultimate stand-up comedy. BIOLOGY! is about learning how to hold both: our sorrow and our joy, tragedy and comedy. I weave comedy with poetry throughout to show that it is possible to be both the happiest and the saddest you've ever been at the same time. I toured BIOLOGY! in 36 countries, and now it'll be available for you at home. With how hard everything is right now, l've decided to release it for free exclusively on my website. Please mark your calendars and spread the word. I can't wait to make you laugh. And cry. (Maybe at the same time).”

Turkish stand-up comedian Baturay Özdemir performs "Devil Boy" (Şeytan Çocuk), a show he toured for three years before recording it. He works through the chaos of metropolitan life, the shifting dynamics of your thirties, generational friction and the fear of having children, returning throughout to the devil boy of his own childhood.

Every comedian knows that the same joke, delivered the same way, doesn’t guarantee the same response. With his latest special Three-Way, Stuart Laws is letting the audience in on the joke(s) (...as they perform differently between rooms). The special cuts between 3 different locations: Machynlleth, Manchester and Bristol. Viewers buzz between the ‘best bits’ (and a couple of ‘worst bits’) from each show, making one, half-hour, pretty damn funny special.

David Steinberg is shown at the concert at Toronto's York University, whipping through routines keyed to a college audience. He delivers some one-liners, a few homilies on politics, a recollection of early non-sex, a bit about writing exam papers in utter ignorance of the topic and ends up with John Candy in a skit about a psychiatrist. Also included is a hilarious take-off on the award- winning film "My Dinner With Andre," entitled "My Dinner With Duddy." Mr. Steinberg and Mr. Candy, big-time comedians, meet in a delicatessen and exchange heartfelt inanities about creativity, soberly paralleling the real thing.
