The Yard Theater in LA was just getting on its feet with building out its live programming schedule featuring comedy, music, theater, etc. just before lockdown started. They had plenty of classes and open mics as well and were poised, under the guidance of one John Ennis, to return this space (The Yard Theater used to be another multi-purpose variety venue called The Fake Gallery, FYI) to being a beloved, go-to indie venue.

You already know the story from there when March of this year came around and as we are in our sixth months of all venues being dark in LA, The Yard Theater is putting together one hell of a live-stream fundraiser to keep the ability to reopen in the future.

Slated for The Yard Theater Fundraiser Fundstacular are:

The Pixies’ Black Francis

Erica Rhodes

Jon Huck

Mark Fite

Ashley Ray

Amrita Dhaliwal

Brett Johnson
Michael Rayner

Neal Dandade

John Tottenham

Ellen Sugarman
Chris Walsh

Dean Evans

& More

That’s pretty damn great and brings in some of LA’s best from all sorts of corners of performance. Tickets range from $15-$31.50 (will include an exclusive button and poster) and you can and very, very much should get them here.

The idea of a show about death and loss created and performed by modern day clowns might seem a little ridiculous, maybe diametrically opposed.

However, we’d say that death itself is a little ridiculous as it happens to us all, but none of us (NONE OF US) knows what happens afterwards.

It is this hardline contrast that us living folks have to deal with and is, consequently, the absurdity that Amrita Dhaliwal and Gemma Soldati, two modern clowns (perhaps even delightfully postmodern?) so beautifully created their show The Living Room around (and make grief a little easier to handle).

We’ve seen this show develop in 2018 and we thoroughly enjoyed the journey, almost free of space and time, that we were taken on, laughing the whole way through.

Go get your tickets for next week’s performances here.
