Season Two of Delocated premiers August 22nd!

by Eugene Mirman

It’s true. Season two airs Sunday August 22nd at 10pm. I know, you might be watching Mad Men, unless you’re male, high and between the ages of 18 and 34 — by the way — that’s a totally coveted demo — because that’s who buys stuff they don’t really need, like video games and snow shoes. Click this fucking thing below here to watch a trailer of the upcoming season:

Fucking clickable thing!

by Eugene Mirman

bobs-burgers-preview-c

Bob’s Burgers is a new animated series coming to FOX from Loren Bouchard (Dr. Katz, Home Movies, Lucy, Daughter of the Devil) about a family that runs a struggling sea-side burger restaurant. I voice Gene (the kid with the megaphone). The other family members are voiced by Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal, John Roberts, and Dan Mintz.

An eCard and last night’s Colbert Report

by Eugene Mirman

I made an eCard for some people that make eCards. This first one is meant to be sent by creepy (or VERY awkward) men to women they 1) hooked up with after a party or 2) like a lot and mistakenly think this will endear the women to them (it could, who knows?).

Some of you may have been falling asleep, dreaming last night and saw me (briefly) dressed as a spirit guide. I bet at least half of you were watching the Colbert Report:

Some tour dates with FOTC in the UK and west coast, plus shows in NJ, DC and more!

by Eugene Mirman

Hello friends. I’m going to be touring a little in the upcoming weeks. Here’s a link to my tour dates. Last week I was in Lincoln, Nebraska and took this picture:

s lots of fun stuff to do in Lincoln, NE late at night. Including, free smells

I’m not sure if this means that outside of large cities in Nebraska they charge for smells, but I am sure this place provides them for free.

Comedy Exchange airs March 19th on Dave!

by Eugene Mirman

Here’s a little promo for Comedy Exchange, a show where British comic Phill Jupitus and me (American comic Eugene Mirman) swap places and careers. He performs in weird little places in Brooklyn, while I perform in London and Edinburgh. I talk about pedophiles on the radio and he mentions Cape Cod. That sort of thing. Here’s a little trailer for it:
