Legendary cult sketch group Murderfist (please get acquainted with them if you’re not already) now have a classy, very classy monthly show at the Pack Theater! 

Every 2nd Wednesday of the month, Murderfist’s very own Henry Zebrowski and Ed Larson will be dressed to the nines doing their own very “classy” bits along with a secret line-up of their favorite stand-ups. It’s a damn good, damn classy time (and maybe dress up if you go).

Whether you’re a fan of Last Podcast on the Left, The Brighter Side, etc., you really need to clear out your your calendar for this. 

The next Murderfist Presents: Classy Night Out is this Wednesday, again, at The Pack Theater at 9:30PM. Admission, like all Pack Theater shows, is Pay What You Can. Pretty nice, right?

You might have heard that beloved comedian Jason Saenz had a horrific fall that resulted in a severe spinal injury a few months ago and that the accident occurred just right before he took on a gig that would have covered his medical expenses. While there was a gracious outpouring of support a few months ago and over $184K has been raised, he still needs help as other complications and the general cost still hasn’t been covered (it’s an estimated $300K). 

So, three benefit shows together as The Jason Saenz Benefit Extravaganza will happen around the country to raise money for Jason. Here in LA, on April 1st, a show that’s so unbelievably stacked with LA comedy gems (really, take a long gander at that flyer) on top being hosted by legendary comedy group Murderfist.

Please go get your tickets for what we’ll be a very special show for a great cause. If you’d like to donate to Jason’s recovery now, you can do so at his GoFundMe page here: https://www.gofundme.com/jason-saenz-recovery-fund-aka-saenz-spinez.

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode I talk to stand-up and actress Amber Nelson. Born in Saudi Arabia and raised mostly in Louisiana, Amber has been performing comedy for many years, as both a stand-up and a sketch performer on numerous house teams at UCB as well as as a member of one of the best sketch groups of the last decade Murderfist. In addition to all this, Amber's appeared on Netflix's The Characters, Guy Code as well as Almost Genius on TruTV, and she co-hosts the wonderful podcast The Brighter Side on the Last Podcast Network.

I'm on Twitter here and you can get the show with:

I really love Amber Nelson’s stand-up - smart and unhinged - and I knew she had an interesting childhood, living in Saudi Arabia for a while, and tomorrow on Beginnings, we get into it, and a lot of other things, including how old perverts have destroyed the world. Can’t wait for you to hear our talk!

In Case You Didn’t Know, Murderfist Has a Bunch of New Sketches for You to Binge Watch

15 years ago, John Moreno, Walter Replogle, Holden McNeely, Henry Zebrowski, Jackie Zebrowski, Amber Nelson, Ed Larson, Jared Warner, Kelan Maloney, and Adam Wirtz made a wonderfully unholy alliance as a sketch group that would be come to known and loved as Murderfist. 

In that time, they made some of the funniest and darkest sketches that the NYC (and the Internet) has seen. Paste has a great oral history of the group that you should read if you’re unfamiliar with the group’s origins and rise.

The last few years have been kind of quiet for Murderfist leaving us all kind of jonesin’. However, a good portion of Murderfist now lives in LA and seems to having the wheels turning once again. There’s a bunch of new videos on their YouTube channel that you should obsess over here.

This “coming out” sketch is one of our favorites in particular from their latest batch.
