Erik Griffin From ‘Workaholics’ Signs To SideOneDummy, Debut Comedy Album Coming

January 16th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Erik Griffin, the comedian best known for his (ahem) work as Montez Walker on Workaholics, has now signed a contract with SideOneDummy to release his debut comedy album. The album, Technical Foul: Volume One, is coming out March 12; fans can do a pre-order exclusively through Pledge Music Campaign here. Considering you can get a ticket to the release show for $50, if you intend to buy the album, I’d hop on it while the goods are still there.

HERE COME THE TEARS: Katy Perry Sings “Firework” with Autistic Child

October 19th, 2012 James Shotwell

Before you come running with pitchforks, give this post a chance. We talk a lot of smack about Katy Perry’s marketing decisions (which admittedly is only partially her fault), but this story is simply too moving to pass up.

Recently, Katy Perry took the stage for Comedy Central’s autism benefit Night of Too Many Stars to perform her hit single, “Firework.” Before her performance, benefit host John Stewart introduced the crowd to a brave young girl named Jodi DiPiazza who was diagnosed with autism when she was two-years-old. This intro was then followed by a video clip about Jodi’s journey, …

The Black Keys to Guest Star on Workaholics

May 3rd, 2012 Brian Lion

It’s been announced that Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney (The Black Keys) have wrangled themselves guest spots on an upcoming episode of Comedy Central’s Workaholics!

There is an explanation for this rock/comedy match-up; The Black Keys just so happen to be fans of your favorite Comedy Central slackers and became friends with Adam Devine (Adam on Workaholics) who coincidentally ranks The Black Keys high on his list of favorite bands.

The episode is said to air early this summer and will feature Auerbach and Carney as a couple of ponytail-wearing dirtbags that cross paths with the Workaholics trio in a …
