Is there a video podcast for the live shows?

[WTF?MichaelDorn 12]

I was just curious, why the live shows do not have an accompanying video podcast? It could be done with a very simple camera, so I was curious.

Logistics aside, Largo (where they record the live shows in LA) reportedly no longer allows filming.

Well Largo doesn't allow any video at all. Tig's special is legitimately the only video recording ever to have been done there.

 

EDIT: Dan covered it lol.

I may be completely wrong but Sarah Silverman recorded her HBO special at Largo. So there is two.

Completely agree. Seems like something simple. Could even post them on youtube and not have to deal with paying bandwidth.

You're probably right. I just remember them making a huuuge deal when they let Tig record her special there (not only just because it was the 1 year anniversary of her historic "I have cancer" set at Largo) so I of course made a dumb assumption lol.

When asked about a video version of SPONTANEANATION, Paul F. Tompkins said that Largo had declared a moratorium on filming. Tig's special was an exception, in light of her exceptional circumstances. Even Paul doesn't rule out the possibility of a live stream, though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well he also proved that I know nothing about how many things have been filmed there cause The Thrilling Adventure Hour did so, hahaha!

Just to head off any, "But what about venues other than Largo" questions, and I think this goes into the "logistical issues" that Dan was referring to earlier, but I think Paul said somewhere this were issues with rights or distribution. Basically, wherever I heard/read that, I got the impression that it would just be a huge headache for them and more trouble than it's worth. But who knows what the future holds..?

 

I mean, it sucks, but I guess that's just how it is. God knows they're never coming to Atlanta, so I guess I'm shit out of luck too.

It's a shame Largo has restrictions on filming, because I really did enjoy the Superman 3 live show they were able to post.

 

Also, I fucking love the filmed CBB podcasts they posted on youtube. The ones with Richard Harrow and Cake Boss in particular i've watched at least 3 times now.

 

It'd be awesome if they did a few studio episodes with video. Being able to visually see June melt down when she realized that the dude playing the mini-me from Island of Dr. Moreau was an actual person, would have been pretty darn special.
