Over the weekend we’ve been digging through the archives and found a couple better quality copies of sketch videos from Nashville comedians that were previously posted on MangyDog.com and YouTube at lower resolution. We’ve uploaded the cleaner versions to Funny Or Die for your enjoyment:

First, Tom Green got into a snowball fight outside of Zanies (we can’t embed that one).

Recap: Jan. 7, 2009 “Dive Laughing” Open Mic @ Springwater

Chad Riden — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 20:08:14 +0000

There’s always an element of danger with comedy shows at the Springwater Supper Club. Several things can be rough: the crowds, the language, and finding a seat in the packed house. You never know what’s going to happen, but you can bet it’ll be funny and exciting.
Brad Edwards hosted this month’s edition of the “Dive Laughing” open mic comedy night on Wednesday. The place was smoky as always.. there was a dog named Zeus wandering around.. and the crowd was ready to laugh. Corey Reppond has put together a video sampler of jokes from the night which is now available on YouTube and embedded below.

The “Dive Laughing” open mic happens the first Wednesday of every month, with the next show falling on February 4th at 9pm. All are welcome.

The MangyDog Radio Hour Whoop-Dee-Doo!

Chad Riden — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:15:29 +0000

The “MangyDog Radio Hour Whoop-Dee-Doo” is a funny new podcast presented by the fine folks at ComedyPodcast.com that features stand-up comedy, skits, parody songs, prank calls and other wacky stuff. One recurring sketch is called “Texas Toast & His Talking Dog, Jesus” – written and conceived by Sean Parrott, the skit follows the adventures of Texas Toast taking on such opponents as nocturnal flying snakes with AIDS (and chainsaws with lasers).. armed only with a pocket knife and a talking dog. NashvilleStandUp’s Chad Riden does the voice for Texas Toast and very little else for this show, but fellow Nashville-based comedians Jesse Perry, Mark Anundson and Sean Parrott work hard on it and the show IS really funny.
Recent episodes includes stand-up comedy clips from Doug Stanhope, Bill Burr, Roy Wood, Jr., Tom Papa, Reno Collier, Greg Fitzsimmons, Pat Dixon, Mary Mack and Keith Alberstadt.. who (amazingly) even gave us permission to do so. (If you’re a comic who would like to send us a cd to play, contact us today!)
The Whoop-Dee-Doo is all over the interweb, check it out:

Win Free Tickets: Jackasses Of Comedy @ Zanies 3/9, 3/10

Chad Riden — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 23:41:58 +0000

Friday March 9th and Saturday March 10th, The Jackasses Of Comedy bring their snarky remarks, slander and slams to Zanies Comedy Showplace in Nashville. Doing a series of late-show-only performances (9:45pm on Friday & 11:15pm on Saturday), the Jackasses probably aren’t the best choice for your next church group outing.. but if you like politically incorrect, socially irresponsible, adult-themed stand-up – put down the bong and come out to the show.
The line-up for these shows includes “The Tennessee Tramp” Janet Williams, “America’s Favorite Comedian Of All Time” Chad Riden, “Improvisational Genius” Jesse Perry, and “Token Minority Comedian So It’s Not Just Whiteys” Damian Anaya. The Nashville Scene recently wrote, “Las Vegas has the Rat Pack, and Tennessee has this loose consortium of stand-up comedians.” Leave it to the Scene to encapsulate the sharp-tongued, anti-establishment spirit of the Jackasses Of Comedy with such a contemporary, hip reference and a word like “consortium”. Sigh. Regardless, they’re right.. the Jackasses are pretty much the modern-day Frank Sinatra – Dean Martin – Sammy Davis, Jr. – Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop’s of the state. Come on out to check out Chad Riden’s creepy glass eye.
Want tickets? Register now! (EDIT: Registration has ended.)

We’ll give away two (2!) sets of two (2!) tickets to each of the two (2!) shows. Winners will be announced right here on Thursday, March 8th.. and will be notified by email.

12/23: Jackasses of Comedy @ Cafe Coco

Chad Riden — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 07:22:30 +0000

NashvilleStandUp.com is giving away a pair of two tickets to see the Jackasses of Comedy Saturday, December 23rd @ 9pm at Cafe Coco in Nashville. Enter now to win: (EDIT: Registration is over)
December 20, 2006 UPDATE:
This show got the Nashville Scene’s comedy critic’s pick for the week:

COMEDY
THE JACKASSES OF COMEDY
Las Vegas has the Rat Pack, and Tennessee has this loose consortium of stand-up comedians, who’ve been alternating gigs in Knoxville and Nashville, with an occasional side trip to beautiful downtown Jackson. It’s a revolving lineup, with this Dec. 23 Cafe Coco laughfest featuring old reliables Jesse Perry and Chad Riden along with newer performers Rob Haynes and Spencer Ashmun (all of a decidedly precocious 15 years old). The fun begins at 9 p.m., and if you’ve made a serious dent in the holiday shopping, this might be a good spot to treat yourself to a brew and some cathartic chuckles. Call 321-2626 or visit nashvillestandup.com.

The Jackasses Of Comedy in Jackson, TN

Chad Riden — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 02:42:37 +0000

Last night the Jackasses of Comedy spread their sweet, sweet jackassery all over South Street comedy club in Jackson, Tennessee.

This weekend’s shows feature Rob Haynes, Chad Riden, Jesse Perry and Billy Wayne Davis.. and if you’re there tonight you just might bump into Corey Reppond and Monty.

Last night, Jesus made a special guest appearance.. before you get too excited about that, you should know that he was drunk and beligerent and got thrown out of the club. At some point Jesse Perry said, “Jesus, shut the fuck up. I never thought I’d say that..” We’ll put video clips up soon-ish. There’s still tickets available for the 9:30 show tonight.. hope to see you there.
