KRANKEN WELPEN…. WHAT THE F$%#@-IN... DAS IST GOOD YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

KRANKEN WELPEN is a German/American heavy metal polka band based out of Southern California.

OK, this guy call me out of the blue and asks me about the magazine and what we do, and we start talking and he tells me he is with a “Metal Polka” Band… right out of the funny papers I do a verbal double take. “A Metal Polka” Band … I thought maybe he was pulling my leg, but they are the real deal, like straight out of the Black Forrest they are a real band, I got the CD and I have to tell you these guys are phenomenal.

 

KRANKEN WELPEN has played many a venue and have entertained many a folks with driving riffs and a seriously hilarious take on a cultural music that is often parodied, not since Weird Al has anyone been able to play Polka music with the enjoyable irreverence yet attentive to detail attitude.

“The music is original, melodic heavy metal in addition to songs that incorporate heavy polka elements” said the founders and creative team of the band are Professor Slaughter and Chaos, a married couple of German / Hungarian decent, who also compose actual polkas for Dutch and German clients.

KRANKEN WELPEN is’t de Bomb, complete with authentic costume of the old country and musical diversity moving from the comical to the serious in the measure of a chord

The band is known for theatrical live performances and crowd engagement, and often headlines Oktoberfests and beer festivals. In addition to original music, they perform live "heavy metal polka" renditions of classic Dr. Demento songs, as well as a heavy metal polka composition of Brahms "Hungarian Dance no. 5", complete with lyrics.

WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF THE EPIC FAIL

 

THE WORLD PREMIERE OF “CHRISTOPHER TITUS: THE VOICE IN MY HEAD” DEBUTS ON COMEDY CENTRAL^® ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5 AT 10:00 P.M. ET/PT

NEW YORK, September 16, 2013 – No holds barred funnyman Christopher Titus returns to COMEDY CENTRAL for his fifth 90-minute stand-up special in the world premiere of “Christopher Titus: The Voice in My Head,” debuting on Saturday, October 5, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

In front of a live audience at the Tower Theatre in Fresno, CA, Titus recounts some of his greatest failures, including his job as Darth Vader at a children’s birthday party, his first waterskiing lesson at age 5, and the reason babies are no longer allowed at Christopher Titus shows.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, COMEDY CENTRAL Stand-Up will feature preview clips from the special. Fans can follow Titus on Twitter at @TitusNation, and tweet about the special using the hashtag #voiceinmyhead.

Employing what he’s labeled “hard funny,” Titus has released five 90-minute albums in as many years, and has taped four 90-minute stand-up specials for COMEDY CENTRAL. After years of experimentation with dark and personal storytelling, he debuted his one-man show “Norman Rockwell is Bleeding” at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles. It was from this performance that the dark comedy “Titus” was born on Fox. The show earned Titus a Writer’s Guild nomination as well as an Emmy^® nomination, and Newsday called him “TV’s most original voice since Seinfeld.”

Titus shone in 2007 as the lovable character Brod in ABC’s “Big Shots.” In 2013, Titus formed his own production company, Combustion World Industries, which produced “Voice In My Head.” His first film production will be “Special Unit,” about four disabled detectives. Titus describes it as “The Shield with handicapped people” and is planning for film production in 2014.

Titus is currently performing his newest one-man show, “The Angry Pursuit of Happiness,” to sold-out venues across the country.

“Christopher Titus: The Voice in My Head” is executive produced by Titus and Rachel Bradley.

It’s all George Lopez, and he’s got nothing but love for ya!

 

George Lopez: It’s Not Me, It’s You!

Comedy Central Records, recorded during his HBO Live Comedy Special on July 14^th, 2012

Street Release Date September 25^th, 2012.

Review by Joseph Timmons, Xombiewoof Magazine

 

 

As a comedic entertainer and performer, few men have enjoyed the notoriety and long endured public appreciation as George Lopez, a truly talented and gifted man of the stage and screen who has had hit after hit, his own television show and is a beloved voice actor from many children’s shows and movies. George Lopez has seen and done it all, a personality that is the voice of the people, saying what we would love to say and doing on stage what we only dream of doing.

George has done it again with his most recent offering “It’s Not Me, It’s You”, recorded during his most recent live performance special on HBO and out on September 25^th of 2012 on Comedy Central Records. George takes no prisoners in his verbal assault on the wrongs of the world, shedding light and mirth on the day to day realities of keeping it real in this country, dealing with bigotry and above all, being proud to be a hard working Latino, recognizing the achievements and accomplishments of a people he is proud to be a part of.

George Lopez speaks to us as his friends and family, frank and honest, pointing out to us what makes him “tick” and what makes him mad, proving he is still raw and powerful in his comedy, but not just spouting profanities and making it up as he goes along, keeping it real. George talks to us about everything from his youth to today, addressing his heritage and how he views the world. George takes aim at people and politics, the good, the bad and the truly ugly. George, in his trademark fashion makes light of the country’s political issues yet discusses real issues with his audience, working the crowd and with lightning fast reflexes, makes each joke hit home, time after time, never missing.

 

George Lopez Live

This live album is great in its content and hits home on many levels; it is, as I said before, “Raw and Real”, very ethnic on many levels but not exclusive. George Lopez involves everyone who listens as part of his world, rich and diverse, like the world he is part of.

Visit his site and the Comedy Central Website for more information on George Lopez, his appearances and his release dates.

ROBIN WILLIAMS TO RECEIVE THE “STAND-UP ICON” AWARD AT “THE COMEDY AWARDS”

ROBIN WILLIAMS TO RECEIVE THE “STAND-UP ICON” AWARD AT “THE COMEDY AWARDS”

Prestigious Award To Be Presented During The Second Annual Event Honoring The Best In Comedy

Show Tapes At New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, April 28 And Premieres on COMEDY CENTRAL On Sunday, May 6

“The Comedy Awards,” the annual event dedicated to honoring and celebrating the world of comedy, announced today that Robin Williams will be honored as the recipient of the prestigious “Stand-Up Icon” award. This honor is bestowed each year to a modern icon, an individual who has made an extraordinary contribution to stand-up comedy and whose impact and innovations have changed the landscape and inspired future generations of entertainers. Williams will be honored for the unparalleled scope of his imagination, his repertoire of indelible characters, and his outstanding work as a stand-up comedian. Eddie Murphy was the inaugural recipient and he was presented with the honor by Tracy Morgan during last year’s show.

“Robin Williams is a comedic force of nature whose intensity and explosive free-associating style as a stand-up comedian made him a superstar,” said Casey Patterson, Executive Producer, “The Comedy Awards” and EVP, Event Production, Viacom Entertainment Group. “Academy Award-winner, beloved TV star and passionate activist, Robin used stand-up comedy to literally change the world with ‘Comic Relief.’ Robin Williams is more than an ICON… he is one of the most important comedic voices of our time. We're thrilled, and just a little bit scared, to be honoring Robin at ‘The Comedy Awards’ this year.”

The “Stand-Up Icon” award will be presented during the taping of the event at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, April 28 and the show will premiere on COMEDY CENTRAL on Sunday, May 6. “The Comedy Awards” will also air on COMEDY CENTRAL’s international channels across Europe, New Zealand, India, Israel and Africa.

An Academy Award-winning actor and multiple Grammy-winning performer unparalleled in the scope of his imagination, Robin Williams began his career as a stand-up comedian, delighting audiences across the country with the beginnings of what would become his renowned repertoire of indelible characters. Throughout his legendary career as a star of stage and screen, Williams has returned to his stand-up roots, most recently with his critically-acclaimed, sold-out, “Weapons of Self Destruction” comedy tour during which Williams performed 90 shows in 65 cities in front of 300,000 fans across the U.S., as well as London and Canada.

Well known for his free-associative monologues and for pointing out life’s absurdities through his astute social and political observations, Williams’ previous comedy tour was in 2002. After a 16-year absence from the stand-up scene, he hit the road and toured America with a critically acclaimed one-man show that became the highest-grossing comedy tour ever and culminated in a final performance filmed by HBO and broadcast live from New York on July 14, 2002. The special, entitled “Robin Williams: Live On Broadway,” was nominated for five Emmy Awards.

Offstage, Williams takes great joy in supporting causes too numerous to identify, covering the spectrum from health care and human rights, to education, environmental protection, and the arts. He has toured the Middle East with the USO a total of five times, including visits to Iraq and Afghanistan, to help raise morale among the troops and is, perhaps, best known philanthropically for his affiliation with “Comic Relief,” which was founded in 1986 as a non-profit organization to help America’s homeless. To date, the overall efforts of the “Comic Relief” organization have raised over $50 Million.

A full list of previously announced nominees for the 2012 “The Comedy Awards” and more information about the show and its prestigious Board of Directors can be found at www.thecomedyawards.com. “Modern Family,” Bridesmaids,” “30 Rock,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” and Louis C.K. lead the nominations and fans can vote for “Breakout Performer of the Year.” Click here to view a highlight reel from last year’s show. Follow “The Comedy Awards” on Twitter @TheComedyAwards.

“The Comedy Awards” has once again joined forces with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) to endow The American Comedy Fund. Without a union or other protection, many comedians face unique challenges to succeed and survive. The Fund provides much-needed financial assistance, health benefits and other resources for comedians across the country during times of need, crisis or transition. The American Comedy Fund is administered by EIF in collaboration with the Motion Picture & Television Fund and The Actors Fund.

Don Mischer, Casey Patterson, EVP, Event Production, Viacom Entertainment Group and Charlie Haykel are the Executive Producers. Juliane Hare is Producer. Beth McCarthy Miller, the Peabody and DGA Award-winning and Emmy-nominated Director, will once again direct “The Comedy Awards.” “The American Comedy Awards” were originally created by George Schlatter.

Get acquainted with John Mulaney! “John Mulaney: New in Town” uncensored and extended CD will be released by COMEDY CENTRAL Records on January 31.

Filmed at the Skirball Theater in New York City, “John Mulaney: New In Town” shines a spotlight on the thoughts and feelings of writer (“Saturday Night Live”) and stand-up comedian John Mulaney, a pleasant, nearly 30-year-old man who enjoys making fun of himself and others. Mulaney tackles such red-hot topics as french fries, “Law & Order,” and his bygone partying days. Through his stories, viewers will watch Mulaney age from a nervous and dishonest child to a still nervous and dishonest adult.

“John Mulaney: New In Town” is executive produced by Mulaney, John Irwin, Dave Becky, and David Miner, directed by Ryan Polito, and produced by Casey Spira. Jonas Larsen and Anne Harris are the Executives in Charge Of Production for COMEDY CENTRAL.

January is Stand-Up Month on COMEDY CENTRAL and the month of laughs kicks off with the launch of a brand-new CC Stand-Up Facebook App, which will provide fans with the opportunity to program the channel's Friday night stand-up block.

Vaguely familiar to the millions who watch “Saturday Night Live,” “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Conan,” VH1's “Best Week Ever” and more, Mulaney is poised to become somewhat more recognizable with the debut of his special and accompanying album/DVD release. “John Mulaney: New In Town” is Mulaney's first one-hour COMEDY CENTRAL original stand-up special and DVD and his second album. Previously, Mulaney had his own half-hour “COMEDY CENTRAL Presents” special and was featured in the COMEDY CENTRAL series “Live At Gotham.” His first album, “The Top Part,” was released in 2009 by COMEDY CENTRAL Records and was recently hailed as “criminally overlooked” and “a finely-crafted piece of work” by The Huffington Post.

Highlights of the Chicago-born Mulaney's approximately half a decade in showbiz have included being named one of Variety's “10 Comics To Watch,” one of Entertainment Weekly's “Comedians On The Rise,” and most recently one of Rolling Stone's “Comedy's New Wave: Eight Rising Stars Guaranteed To Keep You Laughing For Years.” Mulaney is currently a writer and producer at “Saturday Night Live” where he has appeared as a “Weekend Update” correspondent.

This is an awesomely funny and whimsical Comedian that keeps you laughing with his “must be true because you cant make this S!!#T Up” Style.

If you miss the special tonight, get the DVD ASAP!
