Throughout our tenure covering LA comedy, we’ve seen plenty a weekly comedy show and go and a crucial factor contributing to that is the day of the week that the show chooses. Fridays, in our experience, is one of the hardest to pull off as there are plenty of the big nights at the big comedy clubs, special events, in-town headliners, one-offs, monthlys on top of just the general idea of being at the weekend’s doorstep and folks wanting to just enjoy a drink with friends at their favorite local bar to compete with.
That’s not to say it can’t be done. Faded, of course, has carved out their home on Fridays on Melrose, but there is a new weekly show coming to the Eastside, specifically in Glendale at the what is quickly being known as LA comedy’s coziest room, The Glendale Room. The low key, indie book store feel has provided a wonderfully intimate space for all kinds of comedy, but what will soon be home to Flagship on Fridays at 8PM with host Mike Bridenstine.
Just like all the other weekly shows that Bridenstine has his fingers in on the Eastside, it’ll be a very neatly curated line-up of LA’s finest, amazing visiting comics, and old stalwarts from Bridenstine’s Chicago days.
The very first line-up will feature stand-up from:
Sammy Mowrey
Kiran Deol
Megan Gailey
Max Beasley
River Butcher
Jared Logan
You can (and should) go get tickets here for the nice price of just $10 every week starting next Fri. Aug. 26th.
