L.A.: Comics With Cameras, Nov 6!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 3rd, 2006

As Steve Ochs has so helpfully pointed out (and as we neglected to inform you):

“Sheckymagazine.com readers can get on the guest list for admission by mentioning that they’re Sheckymagazine.com readers. All the details are right here.”

So, while the event on Thursday might be sold out to the general public, there are tickets set aside for V.I.P…. like SHECKYmagazine readers!

“National Lampoon’s Comics With Cameras: Farting, Fighting, Rocking and More” is the title of the show this Thursday (sold out!) and Monday (tix still available!) at M Bar (1253 N. Vine St.) in Hollywood.

The concept is simple (click here for the C.W.C. blog): Comedians who have created short films will exhibit them before fans and industry at one of the coolest venues in H-wood. SHECKYmagazine will be represented with their short “A Man and a Woman!”

National Lampoon screens writer Steve Ochs‘ overblown short, “Le Petomane: Parti Avec le Vent” as part of its first ever Comics with Cameras. It’s a full-costume, turn-of-the-century period piece, following the life of history’s most famous flatulist (that’s right, he passes wind…and it’s based on a true story!). More films round out the night: John Bizarre takes his camera along for a trip into the danger zone as one of the “Comics on Duty” touring military bases; “A Man and a Woman” explains the age-old dynamic between the sexes; “Ralph the Roadie” follows the misadventures of an inept rock’n’roll roadie; and three stand up comics go on a gig only to encounter a serial killer.

Other comic/directors represented: Jonathan Schmock and Scott LaRose.

Details/tickets for Monday’s show can be viewed/purchased at GoldstarEvents.com (lightning fast registration required).

Some mighty fine comedian/filmmakers are involved. It should be a fun evening! We sincerely regret not being able to be present while our humble motion picture is exhibited before a live audience!
