Chasing Your Dreams in Stand Up Comedy. The long awaited release of the brand new web series, BOMBING has finally arrived! The series is produced by Queens-based company, DANGERWORKS TV, and is the brainchild of two up-and-coming comedians in the New York scene, JENNY ZIGRINO (TBS Funniest Wins, LA RIOT Alternative Comedy Festival) and LANGSTON KERMAN (Boston Comedy Festival). Jenny and Langston finally show what it is truly like to be a stand up comedian from the ground up.
‘BOMBING’ follows the story of two roommates, who have moved to Brooklyn to pursue their dreams of becoming successful stand up comedians. However, unlike LOUIE, which follows a prosperous comedian whose days of anonymity are long behind him, this web series gets down to the core of what it is to be starting in the business. Open mics with 40 comedians all vying for two minutes of stage time, crowd work gone awry, strange bookings, abandoned bars, embarrassment and impending failure. Yet for all the sacrifices these two make, nothing stops them from chasing their desire for the stage. Breakups, fistfights, one-night stands, break-dancers, Hasidic Jews, trash tornados, and the politics of comedy can’t and won’t stop these two from their chance at success. This show gives the audience an inside look into the unglamorous world of stand up comedy and the true struggles of artistry in its conception.
This 10 episode series will be available on Vimeo. For now, two episodes have been filmed. The first episode watches Langston’s crumbling relationship, as he risks it all for stage time, while Jenny enjoys bizarre success through a one night stand in the new city.
The second episode shows what can go horribly wrong with crowd work, and the consequences of defending your ground. Also, how lame Fedoras can be.
Jenny Zigrino has been bringing her wit, characters, and adorable vulgarity to clubs and colleges nation wide. She is a touring comedian as well as a sketch writer, actress, and vintage connoisseur. She was picked from thousands of comedians to appear on the new TBS’ hit show FUNNIEST WINS, staring Marlon Wayans. She was also selected to perform in the prestigious Great American Comedy Festival as well as the LA RIOT Alternative Comedy Festival, Women in Comedy Festival, and The Boston Comedy Festival.
Langston Kerman is a stand up comedian, actor, tongue kisser and writer originally from Oak Park, IL, but now residing in Brooklyn, NY. He performs in clubs and dank backrooms all over the country.
