Often, what happens at midnight at UCB is some of the most intriguing, rewarding experiments.

We have a hunch that this live presentation and panel discussion from Cait Raft about Bradley Cooper’s remake of A Star Is Born in an ALTERNATE REALITY where 9/11 never happened might just be one such show. Certainly, they have a great line-up to pull off this stunt including Birthday Boys’ Mike Mitchell and Drew Spears.

It’s definitely a case of “this is so crazy, it just might work”.

So, get ready to stay out late this Saturday and go get your tickets here.

The Rainbow Brainskull Hour, the creation of comedian, artist, and multimedia hyphenate Ramin Nazer, is an indie comedy show truly suited to its home in an neighborhood comic book store. It’s a great stand-up comedy show paired with phosphorescent magic and animation conjured up by Nazer himself.

The next edition of The Rainbow Brainskull Hour is set for Saturday, September 30th at 9:30PM (sharp) at Alternate Universe (1498 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA). Admission is free. Get more details here.

Here’s More Alternate Universe TV from “Rick and Morty”

While certainly boundaries are being pushed in TV right now, TV is really being pushed in tone, content, logic, etc. in alternate universes from Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty.

Alternate universe cable TV was one of our favorite parts of season 1 and we’re glad to see it’s made it back into season 2 into the form of Jan Quadrant Vincent 16 and a disturbing restaurant ad for Lil’ Bits.

Rather than typical, designated holiday episodes, this alternate universe TV in an already crazy, animated universe could be a way better tradition at Rick and Morty.
