ComedyNews.Org

I spend a lot of time reading and discussing news stories about comedy, interviews with comics, reviews of shows & cd’s and whatnot. For a long time, I’ve seen sites like SlashDot.org and Digg.com and Fark.com and thought there should be a site just for COMEDY news. It’s not “here’s a funny thing I found on the internet” it’s the stories from behind the scenes.

So here’s what I did:

ComedyNewsOrg_logo_square

ComedyNews.Org is a socially-powered comedy news site featuring interviews, reviews and news stories from around the world. It’s a web application that allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a news article it will be placed in the “unpublished” area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page. Users can comment on each article in threaded discussions.. and there’s a bunch of social network-y crap going on, too.

If you’re a comedy nerd looking for comedy nerd news, stop by and chime in. If you see a comedy-related story out there, please submit it!
