It's kind of a bummer that the Los Angeles comedy scene is oftentimes overshadowed by those in New York and Chicago, because there is some really funny shit going down over here. For this first blog, I'm interviewing comedian/actor extraordinaire Derek Waters whose Drunk History youtube videos are sweeping our great nation. As they should be. He basically gets a friend very drunk and then asks him to talk about a historical event. There are dramatic reenactments featuring Jack Black, Michael Cera and other people you've heard of and most likely enjoy. He also has a midnight show, LOL, the last Saturday of every month at the UCB theatre in Hollywood where he shows Drunk History and other comedy shorts that will make you slap your knee.

This interview is in the form of an ichat conversation. There's something kind of weird about phones, yknow?
