Mark & Dan tell you about One Night Only, why they're worth writing about, and their ALL-NIGHT COMEDY SHOW on Saturday.
Fave 32 Views 746Listen, these numbskulls are being modest about how incredibly talented they all are. I don't have to be, so here's the straight dope:
Dan is responsible for two of the funniest webseries I've ever seen ('Dad Drives', 'Space Riders') and knows how to write extended comedy stories. He plays the straight-man incredibly well: wacky characters are actually IMPROVED by his presence.
Mark is one of the best stand-up comedians working today. Period. I've run a comedy show for 3 years and whenever he drops by he absolutely brings the house down. He was also a member of Picnicface, which produced one of the best sketch shows of the last few years.
Jeremy is also an exceptional stand-up with a unique style of absurdism. It's an absolute pleasure watching him perform. His 'Finding Bessarion' short film is one of the best representations of real Toronto that I've ever seen.
And to top it off, Amy (who I know the least about) was a great comic foil on Space Riders. She brought a lot of humour to a somewhat smaller role.
Are you seriously not going to vote for these people?

Rachel H thinks that copying and pasting w/o really talking about the video is fair. Well, maybe it is and kinda funny but true über fans would write more, going above and beyond. Cool background music choice... haha "copyright fernando"
I hereby state that the following commentary is over the required 100 characters and is as follows: love it!
very funny * well done * glad that there's something is lightening the load for those in TO *
You guys have one of the best Ideas I have seen in this competition! Congratulations on making it this far! if my friends don't win this thing. I'm pulling for you guys for sure!
Vous avez un super concept avec un party qui contenue pour tout la saison. Votre dynamique et super drôle et j'aime les prise du camera. Bravo!
merci, Isabelle!
Definitely a powerful team behind this project. I didn't feel very hyped up after this video. I didn't see enough of the show. Want to see more!
You guys are funny. I guess that’s the whole point. But seems like definitely above-par editing as well – it keeps a nice brisk pace.
Thanks Joel! Dan is an awesome editor, I think that skill will come in handy on this stuff for sure.
Great Work! Funny concept and definitely lots of potential! Keep up the great work:) Very Creative!
I can see this being a film more than a show. I hope you guys have more than just this premise cause it can become repetitive and may lose interest quick. Great team though.
I've loved this project from day one. What an insanely talented team. You'll definitely be in the top 15, and I can't wait to see your next mission.
Pretty cool idea, plenty of material to work with in a night of partying, and we at North of Normal know partying
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55! Creative team, interesting concept. It’s tough to come up with solid product each week so kudos for your hard work. Best of luck moving into the top 15.
I would watch anything with Mark Little and this team is stacked. Looks great. I wanna watch your stuff. All of it. Best of luck you seem like good dudes.
Is this like the hangover but in a tv show? How would your show be different? Really felt the loss without your third mate being present in your week video, I just couldn't feel the synergy. Good luck.
Thank you for the question! Yes, we've had some trouble being spread across the country by work right now. The Hangover skips the action of the night and deals with the aftermath—this *is* the action of that night, but I'd say with a purer spirit and less debauchery; more silly and inventive jokes and hopefully more heart.
- The "third mate"
Generally, I felt meh. But I like the premise a lot. If done properly it could be a lot of fun to see how things progress in just one night. But, it could also be lame and will inevitably have to have things happen that just would not happen all in one night. Forcing it would be noticeable.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! One Night?!?! Every night sounds pretty great to me with these comedic geniuses!
this is a very interesting concept. like a sitcom superbad haha. it seems like what ive read in the comments, you are very talented stand up comedians. i find stand up comedians to be some of the smartest and most imaginative writers so i think you guys have some nifty tricks up your sleeve. im in
Thank you, Jimmy!

Welcome to Tulip
Wharf Rats
Thanks so much for the inclusion, Keith!
you guys are hilarious I hope your live event went well, 11pm is way past my bedtime though. I love your concept I want to see more! All the best, and hope ya's can maker to the top 15!
This concept is just guys getting drunk and it has been done before. I think you guys have lots of talent so keep inventing and writing. Good luck advancing to the next round.
This is my favourite. For realsies.
Even just the simplest things have been funny - it all seems really natural, great writing, great personalities. I'm a big fan and will be sending votes your way.
Just from this quick, simple pitch video, it's easy to tell you guys have great comedic sensibilities and are naturally pretty funny. I'll admit I rewatched a couple bits, just cause they were so subtly funny. It's the sneaky lil jokes that get me. Keep on rockin!
Looks awesome guys, and you have a natural charm that melts this reviewer's panties, and goddamn if I can't behind some guys that dedicate their lives to comedy, which is obviously what y'all do. Keep up the rad work, and I'll be sure to check out Dad drives.
Six episodes all about one night only ... that must be some night. I think the premise has merit and there's a lot of potential to be funny here. Not sure I got enough of that from this clip. Good luck.
You guys get along well.You have a great chemistry. I can see that you guys really want this project. I can tell that you're hungry for it. You will get to the top 15 however, MAKE ME LAUGH. please. Whatever you're doing is not extending past the camera. I would to share in that energy, maybe it's too close to home, too inside, too little hopefully not too late. Good luck
Cool sell sheet and i love the work that you have put into this. Super creative and quite honestly i didnt see this quality from previous videos. You guys turned things around and I love that you're top 55. Awesome job team!
This one is the best.
These guys have been behind some of the funniest stuff made in Canada over the past few years. I'm a big fan of Dad Drives, Space Riders & Picnicface. I'm sure you'd make one hell of a special.
So creative, this project is unique to me I think. I'm not going to be one of those people who try to give you guys hints or tell you how to do your work, it's all compliments from me! I love the whole concept of this project, like I've said before very creative and funny! And as long as you have at least one of those you guys will make it far in this competition, and you guys have both! So best of luck, looking forward to seeing more.
This is the first One Night Only video I've watched, and I gotta say... wait, wait, Mark and Dan have a ComedyCoup project?? Like, from Gun Genie and Dad Drives? AKA the FUNNIEST THINGS EVER?? Holyshit!! Is that awesome? Um dot dot dot YES! Best of luck guys, you are the best
Congratulations on making it to the top 55! took me a bit to get into it but yea...I'd watch it! Your party sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Great idea to have it all night. Best of luck in earning yourself a spot in the top 15!
I crazy love Space Riders and definitely want to see more of you on TV.
So it's 24 with beer?
Good enough for me! ;)
You guys have a very talented crew and obviously have a good following supporting you. Good luck!!
Ugh. This feels like another show that is an unfunny rip off of Tim and Eric's work. I get what you guys are TRYING to do, but it's derivative of something much stronger and infinitely more sincere. I'm going to look into your other work and decide from there whether I can deem this watchable or not. Either way the best of luck.
Interesting. I can't remotely fathom where the Tim and Eric comparison comes from for our actual show, if you're looking at our trailer? Would love to hear more. Thanks for the best wishes, anyway.
Congratulations on making it to the Top 55. Too bad that only "some" of you were available to give us your hype. Looking forward to seeing more of your comedy. Good luck !
I liked your sell sheet and I really like your idea and concept. I am still a little uncertain as to exactly how your show would pan out but you seem like a funny bunch none-the-less. Best of luck with top 15!
Wow - that's some powerful talent behind this series! Now you've got me tempted to come out and check the show on November 8 (not least because Black Dog Theatre is a convenient TTC ride away). Best of luck with the series! I'll be looking forward to seeing it!
Listen, these numbskulls are being modest about how incredibly talented they all are. I don't have to be, so here's the straight dope:

Are you seriously not going to vote for these people?
Wow, thank you Jacob! Truly kind.
...You work for TIME right? Please say you work for TIME.
Looks like a bad boy fiesta going on here, SOMEBODY PASS THE NACHOS! Obviously me and Mother are huge fans of D. Beirne and M. Little, we're excited to become fervent J. Woodcock AFICIONADOS as well! Well done turkey burgers.
I've been following you guys since week one. Really funny stuff. Your first two videos were some of my favourites. Your team has some good chemistry. Good luck making your pitch a reality!
I got some good laughs out of this media pitch and hope things go well for you in the next round!
I will admit though, I'd want more than 6 episodes!
Hey guys! In my opinion, there's something there... I don't know what you usually up to, but i can see potential and funny stuff. On the other hand, you're not that different from many sitcom that i already know, but you seem to have some good characters. I think you just need to go further with the characters. Good luck! by the way, sorry for my english, my first language is french! :)
I am a fan of the Mr. D Show and Mark Little is my favorite of the Mr. D crew. I would love to the guy get his face on more Canadian tv shows. I like the idea of this one, and Mark is still funny as hell. I look forward to seeing what he gets up to over a crazy night! Congrats on making the top 55 and good luck getting into the top 15.
this video was a little dry and boring. It had a lot of valid and important information but I struggled to watch it. The sell sheets were well done.
I've been a fan of PICNICFACE since I was 2 years old- and this video has PICNICFACE written all over it. Because my computer screen has PICNICFACE written on it in Sharpie.
But yeah, you guys are hilarious - this concept could make a great feature film!
Hey guys, just watched the video. Some really great humor in it (I'm a sucker for voice overs that don't match the lips). I still feel like I'm getting the basic premise of your show, but have no idea what's actually going to happen in it. Your saving grace is that I've seen other shows you guys have made, and they've all made me laugh. Hope you get into the Top 15! - Mike from "Killing It"
love you dan in Mr D
Thanks, Lisa, I assume you're referring to my web vlog, "Mr Dan" in which I outline in detail the events and meals of the day. Although you may referencing Mr. D, and that's Mark! Love you still, dan
I like the idea for this show, the premise is great. Wish we could have heard more about it in this video. I didn't feel enough hype to be honest. Where's the rest of the pitch? Wish your team all the best! Good luck!
Appreciate the effort, saw two kinds of humour in the top 55, what I like and what I don’t. I hope I will see less silly and no beeps from the top 15.
Can't add much more than I love the concept, I love your cred, and I'm excited for the all-night comedy show. Great idea for a tie-in promotion.
Now, where's that porn Dan promised?
Hype video was more about the party & free snacks than a glimpse into your pitch Your story idea is interesting but more depth would help Good luck & enjoy your party
You do know how to woo the crowd, an entire night of comedy!? Good luck with that. I do like Guy #2 nodding his head along in agreement or to emphasize a point and the sound effects were effective.
Wild, just wild. But, then again, that is what this idea is based on- getting wild, for One Night Only. But it'll be two nights now, right! Yay! Way to go guys!
It is my understanding that fans will decide who moves ahead in the comedy coup competition and they will decide the top 15
That's very ambitious to host an all night event. Good luck with that - I hope you get a fun crowd. I hope your show won't be only about two drunk guys on a tear - that's not funny. Good luck.
Y'all adorable. I wish I lived in Toronto because that comedy night sounds fantastic! Best of luck.
Ya guys!
Much better than the mission 3. Feel that this show could dry up after a couple of shows. Its a good idea but not long running. Good luck and congrats.
That is one ambitious Hype It mission. Wow. Best of luck! Sounds crazy. You guys are always hilarious. Nice simple video with a few laughs. Best of luck.
I like it, but there is not much to know...?
Interesting take on the Hype it mission. Good luck. I am waiting to see who makes the top 15. If it is all social media based I won't be that interested.
Still have really no idea what you have to give us.
Haha, really? Do you want us to send you the script?
On my second viewing I could fully appreciate how funny it is when tie-and-shirt guy mutters "should be enough" the SECOND time.
The thing I like about short-sleeved guy and tie-and-shirt guy is that it looks like they are having fun.
That rapid clip from the show was a lot of fun. We know that they are naked from the waist up but what else is going on? They made me imagine them naked all the way and that is the key to Hype.
You guys have to make the Top 15, right?! RIGHT?! I don't want to jinx it or anything but the only way this whole Coup makes sense is with One Night Only in it.
Thanks patrick!
That was a funny Week 5 video! I loved the super-quick cuts and brief elevator music, plus the cheesy voiceover. Of course, the actual one-night party doesn't matter to 90% of us watching this, but I'm interested to see more from your project.
The music choice at the beginning already roped me into your video. Very nicely explained and amusing video. I hope to see more from you guys in the future.
Consistently great videos, always funny and entertaining. Can’t wait to see more! Good luck making the top 15, not that you need any!
You guys are definitely one of the top groups. So funny with the comedy and such. I watch you guys every week and I'm never disappointed
Hey, all. You've got a fan here. I like your concept and I'd be really interested to see it come to life on TV. You are all talented and it seems like this show would be really funny to watch. Good luck!
Great video, very informative to the media as to what your concept is all about. Your event sounds awesome too, I'm sure the comedy show will be great. Have a fun time guys!
I wanted to see more too! I like the concept, it's "Mixology" meets "Hangover". I'd watch it.
Wish I could have seen more. I think you guys are great but your videos have left me wanting to see more of the show and less of you talking
Great job, seen this style done by other teams, but you guys rocked it, info giving out was very informative and it was HYPED UP, would love to be able to attend your all night comedy show, sounds like a great way to spend Sat. night, good luck
My favourite video of yours since week 1. Two of the best performers in all of ComedyCoup. Good luck the rest of the way. - Team Randy Justice.
Show, don't tell. If you are making a video, there should be a visual element to it. This could have been a written article with your pictures in it.
this weeks video showcased your talents nicely and what your goals are. It was very informative and I think it answered all of the questions I would have if I was the media!
I like the drawn out voice over cue and of course, the blatant nudity. How could I NOT hype this show? I'm excited to see how the premise stretches out to 6 episodes
Awesome guys! I am a fan and this looks like a fun series! Very well thought out and put together in a great package! One to watch for sure!
Funny stuff. I really liked the clip. It addressed my concern that perhaps your show wouldn't have enough nudity to hold my interest.
Wish I was in town for your all night comedy show!
the video seemed a little rushed, un prepared and not well thought out. But you guys are likeable and seem relatable.
I like Mark Little!! That guy is great. I also like the drinking aspect of this show!
Yahoo! All night comedy show?! I'm in, you had me at snacks. Srsly, we laugh so hard every time we catch your new videos! Keep up the fantastic work, hopin' that the bootstrap pullin' pays off and we hope to see you make it all the way to the final fifteen!!
Sweet concept!
A
That party on Saturday will be an epic night of hilarity!
