My Top 5 Obsessions This Week
Greetings to all my semi-constant readers . I just attended the first ever 3 day Comedy Central Clusterfest event here in San Francisco with the beautiful City Hall in the background and this will be focus of my obsessions this week.
1) Rachel Bloom performed not only an amazing set featuring her hit "Heavy Boobs" and later at the 80's Dance Party she did a rousting cover of The Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated" with 80's cover band Tainted Love. The dry humor of the amazing Fred Armison was featured in a all star improv troupe at the 415 Comedy Club.
2) We saw the very talented Aparna Nancherla tear up the audience with 3 separate sets and blew many other comedians away .Hilarious Kevin Hart ended the Friday night events with a great set featuring his "Great Baby" sketch. Saturday featured Abbi Jacobson and Iliana Glazer from Broad City did a live reading of Wayne's World for the 25th Anniversary featuring all female Queen Cover band The Killer Queens. Then a visit to the real mock up of Patty's Pub from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia complete with dirty urinals.
3) Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum wowed a backed stadium as Princess a "Prince " cover band. The opened with Let's Go Crazy and everyone did. Each song had their funky imprint on it as they whipped the adoring crowd into a frenzy.
4) Sunday night featured the talented Indie Pop twin sister act Tegan and Sara with amazing vocals on their hits "Closer " and " Boyfriend" It was really a treat to be front and center for a favorite of mine since their first big hit "Walking With a Ghost".
5) Another big highlight was a tour of the Seinfeld set airing of grievances, a round on the festivus pole and a selfie with the Soup Nazi actor Larry Thomas. Bill Burr hosted a live Q&A with Jerry Seinfeld about Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with a poignant segment with the late Garry Shandling. Ending the great 3 day event was stand up set with Jerry himself proving that he is a class of comedians all his own with biting satirical observations and the joy of human foibles.
