The return of What We Do in The Shadows is a few weeks away and, as such, we’re getting more of a taste of what they’ve got up their ruffled sleeves and damn it looks fun. Not only do you have Nandor, Nadia, Lazlo, and Guillermo trying their very best, but still falling short of being exemplary vampires, but we’re really looking forward to seeing “energy vampire” Colin Robinson’s evolution with intentionally bad jokes.

See all of this for yourself in the full season 2 trailer for What We Do In The Shadows here. Look for it on FX starting Wed. Apr. 15th.

Starting today, the one and only Eddie Pepitone, arguably one of best ranters in comedy history (just watch any of his specials or listen to any of his albums) will be doing a daily live stream called Eddie Pepitone Live From The Bunker.

Truly, all we need to say is that you’ll get to see Eddie 7 days a week with characters, rants, guests, and more during these weird times. Eddie’s firebrand (often meta) comedy might be perfect thing to hear/see right now. Tune in at @eddiepep on Instagram at 4PM PST daily.

Due to concern over the spread of this latest novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, events and venues around the world have be shutting down/postponing/cancelling events/etc. in a way to combat the spread of said virus. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom has called for a moratorium on any public gatherings of 250 people or more and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has strongly encouraged the same with events that bring 50 or more people together.

Thus, plenty of venues and shows in and around Los Angeles have taken it upon themselves to be pro-active and preemptively suspend operations.

Here’s a rundown of announcements made by major comedy venues around LA right now (we will update this with any new updates/changes as frequently as we can).

*UPDATED*

For now, many of the hourly mics are still active and there are a handful of small shows that are still going forward as of this post. Again, we will be sure to keep you as updated as we possibly can to know where you can go see a show if you so choose (NOTE: it probably will be at a very small venue).
