This week Bridget brunches with a couple of entertainment industry bigwigs. Page Hurwitz, Co-Executive Producer of Last Comic Standing and the writer/director/star of Chutney Popcorn, Nisha Ganatra stop by to talk about being out in the entertainment industry, the making of Chutney Popcorn, and why Bridget should rename her show.

Along the way, Bridget defames Page's dog, Page mocks Nisha's spiritual practices, and together they develop the future hit television show, Is This Rancid?

There aren't too many guarantees in life. You've got your death. Then taxes. And, finally, that Amy Sedaris will kill on the late-night talk shows.

So last week, when she stopped by comedian Chelsea Handler's E! talkfest, Chelsea Lately, I was expecting hijinks. I was not, however, expecting hijinks on this magnitude. Please, prepare yourself for designer replicas of the female anatomy, thumb tacks and unpleasant secretions.

Comedian Liz Feldman may not be appearing on SNL, but she's made one of the funniest political skits of the election. In the FunnyOrDie.com video, "McCain's Mom Endorses McCain," she plays presidential candidate John McCain's elderly mother.

The skit is written by her friend, Jason Allen.

Liz will be the guest blogger on FunnyOrDie.com this week, which should prove to be entertaining itself. The site is famous for its videos from well-known comedians and TV writers who utilized self-made clips during the writer's strike (one of the most famous being Will Ferrell's "The Landlord.") … continue reading

Feeling naughty? So is comedian Sandra Valls. She has a reputation for causing trouble with her risqué comedy stylings, and she lives up to her legend this week on Brunch.

Bridget talks to Sandra about how she got her start in comedy, her role models, and how to remove a woman's bra in three seconds or less. Sandra is even kind enough to give a demonstration, so take notes because there will be a quiz after the show!

You can keep up with Sandra by visiting her website here. Watch new episodes of Brunch With Bridget Friday nights at 2 a.m. on LOGO, and watch previous episodes of Brunch here.

Last Comic Standing contestant Erin Foley graces Bridget's bed this week while sporting Olympic-grade knee socks.  

The girls celebrate Erin's 24th birthday (she wishes), have a dance-off, and discuss dating farm animals. Hide your pigs, the girls are hungry for snout!

If after all of this insanity, you still dare to see Erin perform live, go here for more info on her upcoming shows.

This week, Cat Davis is on the prowl with The Pin Up Girls, a very sexy, very queer Los Angeles-based burlesque group.

The group's frontwoman, Vixen, and her crew of cuties invite Cat into their rehearsal — things heat up fast! Will Cat survive her dance lesson?

Look for a new episode of Cat on the Prowl every Wednesday afternoon. For more information on Cat, visit wwww.myspace.com/catdaviscomedy.

Michele also talks about getting a nose ring, and then gets it put in on camera.

If you haven't experienced the magic that is Flight of the Conchords, I suggest you utilize a search engine pronto. This New Zealand-based duo (Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement) are hilarious and catchy with their comedy/music styling, which has garnered them their own television series on HBO as well as two albums on Sub Pop Records.

While their self-titled show is about them trying to become famous, in reality they are finally becoming a hit in the States. They recently released a video for their '70s-inspired single, "Ladies of the World," which is a song dedicated to every single one of us out there, whether we are "ugly, skanky or small."

I like their advocation of soldiers putting down their weapons and instead picking up a woman, and "brunettes not fighter jets." While you probably won't want to take them up on their offer of making love to you ("it's the least we can do"), you'll appreciate that some dudes want to "show you some gratitude." … continue reading

AfterEllen.com's own Bridget McManus was spreading herself pretty thin at The Dinah this year. As if accosting people on the red carpet, showing off her splits technique during the improv, and singing a vaguely inappropriate "sorority" song to Sarah Warn weren't enough, she also performed at the Logo Comedy Cocktail Hour.

Bridget McManus

There Bridget regaled the crowd with a couple of memorable ditties (accompanied by her trusty tambourine), shared some treasured family memories, and paid tribute to her favorite restaurant, Red Lobster.

Don't forget to check out the rest of our Dinah coverage, including stand-up by Julie Goldman, Kate McKinnon, and Liz Feldman, and improv by the AfterEllen.com vloggers.

If you live near L.A. and still can't get enough of Bridget after all the Dinah videos, you can see her live and in person as the main event in her upcoming show "Tall Dark and Random" on Thursday May 8th at The M Bar in Los Angeles; buy tickets here before the show sells out.
