The Reel Deal: Paul Reiser Q&A
When Paul Reiser comes to mind, it’s hard not to think of Paul Buchman, the yin to Helen Hunt’s yang on the wonderfully honest and hilarious sitcom, “Mad About You.” Or Carter Burke, the diabolical corporate lackey that nearly terminates the entire human species in James Cameron’s Aliens. Or the hapless Detroit detective slyly covering...
Sintertainment: Spiegelworld’s Absinthe is a Winning Formula
When it comes to luring traveling entertainment seekers, Vegas has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. Pipes, skin, acrobatics and laughs are some of the most prominent.

The Reel Deal: Bobcat Goldthwait Q&A
Make no mistake about it, Bobcat Goldthwait isn’t particularly fond of nostalgia. Memories of a loud, trembling on stage persona? Twisted Sister and all those hair bands? Or those silly 80s movies, like One Crazy Summer, Hot to Trot, and Police Academy? Good riddance. Bobcat Goldthwait – Comedy Central “I know that most people only...
LOL Ways: Comedy Works Regular Adam Cayton-Holland Does Conan
Nearly everyone has loved The Simpsons at one juncture or another. Not everyone has dissected episodes joke by joke, though. Adam Cayton-Holland is an anomaly.

Brain Pickin’: Coloween MC Chris Miller on Goin’ Commando, Rita Rudner & Birthing Husbands

The Denver comedian is set to emcee Thornton’s Castle-esque DoubleTree Hilton—one of three venues under Collective 360′s Coloween...
A Masshole in Colorado (Wicked Rad)
For those of you who don’t know the term Masshole: it’s a combination of the words Massachusetts and Asshole.
