Comedy Central announces fall and 2017 comedy specials

Just because Netflix is giving comedians all the freedom in the world to release their specials doesn't mean Comedy Central is waning in their comedic endeavors. Lewis Black's special is coming next month as well as Pete Davidson's and Kyle Kinane's. Kurt Braunohler, Roy Wood Jr., Joe DeRosa, and Mark Normand all get their time to shine next year. Black's "Black to the Future," premiering Friday, October 7 at 10:00 p.m., is doing a limited run at the Marquis Theatre in New York City. It's politics themed so viewers should expect presidential election type jokes. Kinane's "Loose in Chicago" comes on Friday, October 15 while Davidson's "DMB" debuts on Saturday, October 29.

Braunholer's "Trust Me" is aiming to continue the comedian's efforts to "[insert] absurdity into stranger’s lives to make the world a better place." DeRosa's "You Let Me Down" is shooting at the Masonic Lodge in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 13. Normand's special is being produced by Amy Schumer. Tentatively titled "Don't Be Yourself," it's also shooting this fall. And The Daily Show correspondent Wood is shooting "Father Figure" at Center Stage in Atlanta on Friday, October 14.

Kurt Braunohler is shooting some 'B-Roll' in this new trailer

Fan favorite Kurt Braunohler is finally a leading man in a movie but he had to smoke bath salts to get there. In B-Roll, Braunohler is a disgraced newscaster that loses his job after inciting a riot on TV following ingestion of hard drugs. Now he's trying to earn his name back with help from a film student, obituary writer and his sound guy. Although no release date has been announced, the trailer does feature the likes of Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), Karan Soni (Blunt Talk), and Adam Herschman (Accepted) as well as the great Eddie Pepitone.

Kurt Braunohler will drive a big butt around America

First Kurt Braunohler hits the skies with How Do I Land? Then the comedian gets wet for goats. Now, Braunohler will be driving a big butt on his latest comedy tour. It sounds crazy but it's really true. Dubbed The Love Butt Tour, Braunohler  will drive a 14 ft. tall, 15 ft. long, and 1600 lb butt to cities across the United States. It's a stunt for his Comedy Central show Better. Dumber. Faster. with Kurt Braunohler. The reasoning for driving a butt across America is explained by Braunohler: "The show is all about inserting absurdity into stranger’s lives to make this bleak world a little bit brighter." Hopefully one of the advertisers for the tour is Charmin.

Check out the dates below:

Kurt Braunohler Gets A Late Night Talk Show On Comedy Central

With the success of @midnight and the coming departure of Stephen Colbert but the addition of Larry Wilmore’s Minority Report, Comedy Central has a gaggle of late night shows. But they want more; so much more. 

Deadline reports that do gooder Kurt Braunohler is creating a pilot for the comedy cable channel. The show, called Gettin' Some Strange With Kurt Braunohler, will focus on the host covering the strangest stories of the day. 

Braunohler has been featured on @midnight numerous times and he's the host of The K Ohle with Kurt Braunohler. He also has a web series for Comedy Central named Roustabout with Kurt Braunohler where he does dumb things in order to raise money for the less fortunate. He sure does love his name. But I can't really say anything about that.
