Comedy That Makes You Feel Better About Yourself, and Superior To Others

What is Stand Uppity, you don’t ask? A comedy tour sponsored by 23/6 featuring Andy Kindler, Marc Maron and Eugene Mirman, three irreverent, smart-alecky, comedians, known for having points of view. Do you know who else has a point of view? Everyone. But their point of view is very funny. That’s why you should pay to listen to it.
When history looks back at itself and wonders what comedy tour helped America move on from its partisan bickering, botched war, and economic downturn, it will be easy: Stand Uppity!
Andy Kindler is known in comedy circles as a troublemaker. Originally from New York, and now complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world. Andy is a frequent guest and correspondent for "The Late Show with David Letterman." Each summer, at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, he delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment, including the previously taboo practice of making fun of his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the nineties was imploding, Andy wrote the "Hack's Handbook" for National Lampoon. This "how to" guide satirized and exposed tired comedy formulas.
Andy can currently be seen on Lewis Black's “The Root Of All Evil” on Comedy Central. He also has a half hour Comedy Central Presents stand-up special still in sporadic rotation. Other noteworthy credits include, the HBO "Young Comedians Special," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Daily Show," "Dr. Katz Professional Therapist," "Home Movies" and "The Larry Sanders Show." Andy is often recognized for playing the life affirming character "Andy" on the CBS sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond." Check out www.andykindler.com.
Marc Maron is a standup comic, author, actor, radio personality, feral cat wrangler and a Jew. His recent accomplishments include accidentally running over a large Possum in his driveway then crying AND figuring out how to upload videos to his myspace page. His book, The Jerusalem Syndrome: My Life as a Reluctant Messiah, is out of print and overpriced by vendors who think it might have some collectors value. He's been on HBO, Conan, Letterman, Air America and he can be seen in his new Comedy Central Presents Special. He is currently developing a thing with HBO. Go to www.marcmaron.com.
Eugene Mirman is a Brooklyn resident (Russian immigrant), a really great guy, and a comedian. He has appeared on television, which is still a relevant medium for another few years. Some examples include: his own half hour special on Comedy Central, Conan O'Brien, a recurring role on HBO's Flight of the Conchords, MTV, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and the voice of a gruff nun on Adult Swim's series Lucy, Daughter of the Devil.
Currently, Eugene is writing The Will To Whatevs, a humorous guide to life for Harper Collins. He was recently cast in Jon Glaser's new adult swim series Delocated, where Eugene plays a gangster trying to kill the star of a reality show who is in the witness protection program.
Mr. Mirman tours the US regularly. He performs often as part of Patton Oswalt's Comedians of Comedy, and has opened for bands such as Yo La Tengo, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Cake, and more. His weekly standup show, Tearing the Veil of Maya, which he co-host's with Michael Showalter, was voted the best indie comedy night in New York by New York Magazine in 2008.
Eugene has released two comedy albums: Suicide Squeezes The Absurd Nightclub Comedy of Eugene Mirman (Voted Best of 2004 by Time Out New York and The Onion) and his most recent, En Garde, Society! from Sub Pop records.
There's lots more, but who cares, right? Are you really going to be any more impressed to find out that Eugene was on Carson Daly, the crappy hour long drama Third Watch or played a spokes-potato on Food Network for potato weekend in 2002? Probably not. But you should know that Pete Townshend (from The Who!) e-mailed Eugene in 2001 to say he liked Eugene's Marvelous Crooning Child Who medley. That's neat.
