Comedy Two Awesome Out-of-Towners at Laff Hole Tonight: I Insist that You Go!

Posted by Lindy West on Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 10:43 AM

Weinbach: The Shirt.

If you only go to one Laff Hole tonight to see Brent Weinbach tell jokes, make it the Laff Hole where Brent Weinbach is performing, which is at Chop Suey at 9 pm and is called Laff Hole.

Videos & stuff after the jump.

Do you know about Weinbach? Weinbach is amazing.

Also performing tonight: the great and adorable Mary Van Note.

It would be irresponsible to miss this. Come on. Don't be a dick.

brent weinbach is awful, just awful. i had the misfortune of seeing him perform last winter, and watching that clip just gave me a total PTSD flashback. i feel like part of me is still trapped in the purple onion, plotting my escape. i mean, he just went on like that for a good 90 minutes. and then repeated one of the skits (that bombed the first time around) because he was recording the performance for a CD. so painfully, excruciatingly bad.

maybe blip saw him on an off-night, because he was Hi-larious when I saw him this summer, when he opened for Joel McHale in SF. I had never heard of him before and his piece was relatively short, but I could tell he had the makings of a truely funny comic. I would definitely go see him again.

I saw him at Bumbershoot a few years ago. He was my favorite. The next year I was at an Upright Citizens Bridgade show in NYC and one of the comedians was wearing Weinbach's shirt. I had forgotten the name but remembered the shirt. I couldn't read it at the show, I'm so glad to see it on Slog now so I can look him up again!

I've seen Weinbach thrice. He's amazing. Ask him to do Super Mario Bros with "penis."

i give him points for being unique, but i guess it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of unique. i just found his whole demeanor off-putting. kind of like carrot top.

Tonight should be pretty fucking awesome!

Blip:Give Brent another chance? Come by tonight and I'll buy you a drink that way if you're still not having a good time at least you'll be drinking!! Plus, you get to see the amazing Mary Van Note!!

It should be a blast!!

See you there,
