Yes, we’re going to become more of a regular fixture at The Townhouse Venice. We had our first taste of putting on a show of the true, from-decades-past, speakeasy, Townhouse, that’s right at the iconic entrance to the Venice Boardwalk a few months back and it was every bit the rollicking, all-encompassing, intimate night of comedy that we’ve dreamed of doing for awhile.

So, Townhouse Venice has invited us here at The Comedy Bureau for another special handpicked evening of the best comedy folks (after having watched comedy every day/night of their life for 13 years or 10,000 hours several times over) on Wed. Sept. 21st.

This edition will feature the comedy stylings that you might have seen on Ramy or Vulture’s latest Comedians You Should and Will Know list including Dave Merheje, Amy Miller, Jet Eveleth, and Milan Patel.

Doors are at 7PM, show is at 7:30PM, and tickets are $10. Go get ’em here quick.

Get and Enjoy Amy Miller’s Sophomore Album “California King”

So much of the last few years has been defined by disruption. Nothing is as it was and everything violently changed in just a handful of days over two years ago. Now, there is so much dust still settling (and, not to mention, droplets) as we’re rolling through 2022 with dread, apathy, and a yearning for some sort of relief or peace.

Amy Miller who was already on the way to having a banner year from 2019 leading into 2020 picked up right where she left off with both half hour Comedy Central special and, especially, her debut album, California King. Ever clever and going-the-extra-mile to be inclusive, Amy delivers an hour of comedy that’s a calming breeze of joy and a fun cocktail that has a stiff pour of your spirit of choice. California King captures not only a return of live, in-person comedy as we all are forced to navigate the most unprecedented times in all of our lives (we didn’t even know that Russia was going to invade Ukraine at the time of the recording), but such a exuberant reminder that we’re not alone, no matter how alone we all felt in the last two years (or 6 or 12 if you’ve been carrying stress from the housing market crash or Trump becoming POTUS).

Please get and enjoy a splendid sophomore hour, California King, from the funniest people that you should really get to know more on these days, Amy Miller, now available on streaming platforms and CD and vinyl.

The show where comedians try to out compliment each other is back!

Tickets are $10 online (and $15 at door). Save some clams and get your tickets right now right here.

People being nice to each other is such a novel concept these days that having people competitively complimenting each other would indeed be a basis for a show worth going out to see.

That’s why we keep telling you to go to Kyle Ayers Boast Rattle, which has its latest edition this Thursday with a “joy-filled, rosy eyed” line-up.

Tickets are $7 and you can (and really should) get them here.

The rest of our listings for shows, events, open mics, maps, and more can be found at www.thecomedybureau.com.

Arguments and Grievances, the comedy debate podcast, is a great reminder that free speech in America allows for us to have heated discourse over such “essential” topics like “you’re crazy” vs. “no, you’re crazy” or 420 vs. 69.

Their latest show in LA will be free and at one of our favorite venues, The Virgil at the end of this month.

For those looking for any bit of positivity in the world these days, you might enjoy a competitive comedy show where all involved try to out-compliment each other.

Boast Rattle acts like an antithesis, even in name, to the phenomenon Roast Battle and definitely takes your mom’s advice of “if you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say it” to heart.

Also, regardless of the compliments that will be hurled at one another, the line-up is stellar as well.

Tickets are $10 and you can (and should) get them here.

While the label of a “trophy girlfriend” has its negative connotations, Amy Miller has figured out to kind of take the label back for herself and work her own agency into it. In case you didn’t know, Miller has gotten to establish herself all along on the West Coast on top of being on Last Comic Standing,

This comes from Kill Rock Stars latest comedy release from Amy, Solid Gold.

Oh, if you dig that, get Solid Gold here.
