Comedy Central's Colossal Clusterfest keeps adding comedy acts

It's been a little over a month since the announcement of Comedy Central's own stand up comedy festival but those guys have just added more acts to their ranks. And there's going to be music bands too. So the likes of Jerry Seinfeld will be joined by musicians like Ice Cube.

Today, the network announced that additional acts will also be in attendance. Performances from Hasan Minhaj and TJ Miller are among the new lineup. Miller will also be hosting a live version of his new show -- The Gorburger Show -- and special events from Rachel Bloom, the Broad City ladies, and Chris Gethard and more will join in as well. All of this on top of interactive attractions from South Park, Seinfeld, and Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Check out the new fun times below.

T.J. Miller & Funny or Die's 'Gorburger Show' is going to be an HBO Pilot

Not one to shy away from the weird, HBO has picked up the internet based talk show The Gorburger Show as a pilot. Variety reports the show, led by T.J. Miller wearing a strange blue monster costume akin to Japanese culture who happens to take over a Japanese chat show, is jumping from the little screen to a slightly larger screen. 

Gorburger's whole shtick is to understand humanity through interviews with our biggest celebrities. The Gorburger Show is currently in its second season over on YouTube. They've managed to land pretty big guests like Carson Daly, Tegan and Sara, 3OH!3 and even Grouplove.

This marks the second show to be transitioned from internet to television by HBO. The premium channel previously picked up the Vimeo web series High Maintenance for six new episodes to be aired on the network. And it's also another milestone in the vein that T.J. Miller already has a job with HBO as an actor on Silicon Valley. 

Jason Nash is Kickstarting a Vine Movie

On the heels of that Facebook film and way before the obvious Pinterest play, Vine is getting a movie about its vineness.

Jason Nash (Jason Nash is Married) has started a Kickstarter campaign for his second self written/directed film FML: A Social Media Adventure. Set to star Vine aficionados Jason Nash and Brandon Calvillo, the movie follows "Sam (Nash) as a father and husband that is barely getting by and is having a mid-life crisis. Henry (Calvillo) lives at home, works at a video game store, and is angry at the world. They meet through a social media app called ReLoad and, despite having very different lives, decide to take a two-month road trip to collab with social media stars around the country and boost their number of followers 'in hopes of never having to work a real job again.'"

Oh and, with this being a Vine movie, other vine stars will appropriately be appearing including Brittany Furlan, Nicholas Megalis, and Markus Johns as well as over 35 additional Viners.  Actual movie and television stars are too making appearances like Patton Oswalt, Busy Philipps, T.J. Miller , Andy Daly , Paul Scheer, Rob Corddry , and Ken Marino.

Rewards of course start with a digital download of the completed film and production diaries then go to a Eddie Pepitone voicemail rant and a Vine or Instagram takeover by one of the stars. You could even get consulting on how to properly benefit from social media. Yeah, it's a thing.
