Standup comic Paul Provenza has been part of the Montreal Just for Laughs lineup a dozen times and even taped two episodes of his Showtime series "The Green Room With Paul Provenza" during last year's fest. Here are a few of Provenza's favorite places in the city to be a comedian.Hyatt Regency Montreal hotel bar 1255 Rue Jeanne-ManceAt the official hotel for Just for Laughs, the bar is where all the comics and industry dealmakers in attendance hang out. "Comedians come up with funny stuff together," Provenza says, "and see friends they haven't seen in 10 years, because that's what happens when you're a road comic. Agents and managers are talking to acts, so there's a little bit of deal-making here and there. In a lot of ways, it's what you want it to be. It's all there."ComedyWorks Montreal 1238 Rue BishopComedyWorks hosts several Just for Laughs shows throughout the...

Set your timers for July 14th, as Showtime's excellent comedy series "The Green Room with Paul Provenza" is back for another new season. Monsters & Critics was invited by Ep Barbara Romen for the episode taping that featured Greg Proops, Franklyn Ajaye, Kathy Griffin and Dana Gould. Outstanding grouping and one that shows the major comedic chops of Proops, always underutilized and deserving of his very own show. Plus Dave Attell was totally leaning on me watching the action from the wings, and Rick Overton was in the audience in front of me. Provenza is wickedly funny himself and he wrangles these gargantuan talents and steers the ship in a roundtable setting, speaking off-the-cuff and uncensored in...

We live in a golden age for students of comedy. Comics like Marc Maron and Paul Provenza now make a living plumbing the dark depths of the comic mind—the uncomfortably intense Maron with his invaluable Wtf podcast, and Provenza with The Aristocrats, his book ¡Satiristas!, and his new television show The Green Room With Paul Provenza. Podcasts like Comedy Death-Ray and Never Not Funny have demystified the life of a working comic, ushering listeners into a smoky world of hecklers, one-night stands, shitty apartments, hostile crowds, and fuzzy memories of the cocaine-and-sex-saturated ’80s. This massive wave of interest in ...

Great news for fans of comics, comedy and great storytelling. Showtime wisely reupped Paul Provenza's "The Green Room" which completely owned me in six short episodes, as legends like Jonathan Winters, Robert Klein and Martin Mull told hilarious anecdotes, and other stars such as Andy Kindler, Andy Dick, Sandra Bernhardt, Paul Mooney, Dana Gould and Rick Overton engaged in high energy back and forth banter talking up a myriad of subjects. Showtime announced that the second season of the critically acclaimed comedy series The Green Room With Paul Provenza will again offer viewers the rare opportunity to watch comic lions and legends share their opinions, personal anecdotes and raw humor with each other in an intimate setting.

Chicago – “I don’t even know what to do on this show. We just talk?” asks comic Bobby Slayton in episode four of the new Showtime series “The Green Room with Paul Provenza.” Yes. And therein lies the problem.
Television Rating: 3.0/5.0
Certainly, the premise of “The Green Room” is not new. Jon Favreau’s IFC series “Dinner for Five” was also an unscripted, round robin, celebrities-just-talking-for-30-minutes style of show. But while the success of “Dinner” hinged somewhat on the selection of guests on each episode, host Favreau was charismatic, a little cocky and, ultimately, interesting enough to make the show work most of the time, regardless of the cast.
