Retrospecs (in LA w/Livestream)

February 9, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$18.90
  • « Fourth Wall Comedy Cafe (in LA)
  • Greenwich Village Comedy Club (in NYC) »

Back in the early days of television (the 1990s), writers hoping to break in would write episodes of existing shows; these “spec” scripts were never meant to be produced, only to serve as samples for the aspiring writer. Spec scripts have gone out of fashion, but, in addition to being a great way to learn the craft, they were a lot of fun! You got to see the stamp individual writers put on your favorite shows.

In Retrospecs, we dig those old scripts by established writers out of their drawers and expose them to the warm light of the Elysian stage. Starring actors you know and love from TV, film, comedy, and the stage. From Girls to Gilmore Girls, from the Big Bang Theory to Buffy, get NEW EPISODES of your favorite shows, written by writers who never wrote for those shows! Only from Retrospecs.

Produced and presented by Ben Blacker (Thrilling Adventure Hour; Dead Pilots Society)

Associate produced by Will Choi (Asian AF)
