IN MEMORY OF "MR. JOKES" STEVE WHALEN
Steve Whalen, aka "Mr. Jokes", suddenly passed away last night unexpectedly. He was truly a one of a kind person and really a sweet sweet guy that loved to make people laugh more than anything in the world. He did more episodes of The Special than me even and anybody that knows me well knows I was completely obsessed with the guy. He was game for anything and a master of his craft. He was also a great guy and the source of so many amazing memories. I'm in complete shock right now. Tell your friends you love them.

With a prolific imagination, Brett Davis performs comedy under the guise of his many twisted characters: the world’s worst adjunct professor; a man horrifyingly obsessed with laundry; a disgraced dating show host; Dracula. Alternating between satire and pathos, Brett's performances are endlessly surprising and wildly hilarious.
Brett was the most recent winner of the Andy Kaufman Award and was named a "Comic to Watch" by Comedy Central and “On The Verge” by Vulture. A recent New York Times profile said “there’s a madness to his method.”

The Macaulay Culkin Show: 6th Annual Summer Comedy Festival
Sun. Aug 18 • 7:30pm Doors • 8:00pm Show
The Bell House - 21+ - $5
For the better part of a decade, Sally Burtnick and I have hosted a monthly comedy showcase called The Macaulay Culkin* Show, despite the show not having anything to do with the actor. However, that all changes on August 18th at the 6th Annual Macaulay Culkin Show Summer Comedy Festival. After years, finally, the Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone, My Girl) has agreed to come and be a part of our show. What is he doing? We don't know. But we do know that we are continuing our tradition of showcasing a sampling of some of the most unique and hilarious acts in comedy today. And we're at The Bell House, so there's gonna be air conditioning this time.
Lineup: Jon Glaser, Chris Gethard, Matt Barats, Marcia Belsky, Colin Burgess, Dan Chamberlain, Steve DeSiena, Annie Donley, Spike Einbinder, Ana Fabrega, Andrew Fisher, Josh Gondelman, Nick Naney, Clare O’Kane, Eudora Peterson, Lorelei Ramirez, Bardia Salimi, Shalewa Sharpe, Sam Taggart & Jes Tom
