One of our favorite hometown festivals, every year, is the fantastic Riot LA Comedy Festival presented by KCRW and we’re happy to hear that it’s coming back for a third year come Jan. 2015.

Specifically, Jan. 16-18th, 2015, we’ll all have a ball here in LA with some of the best comedy around the city and the world. Without it, honestly, we wouldn’t want to imagine what we’d have to do just like The Sklar Brothers, Paul F. Tompkins, Fred Willard, Paula Poundstone, Sean Patton, Ron Funches and more would be doing things that probably rather not be doing instead of comedy (as shown in this Riot LA “Vignette”).
