Better Half with Jared Logan and Kara Klenk were the successors to LA’s beloved, long-running Thursday stand-up show The Josh & Josh Show. They opted to relocate to a different day and a different part of town, but we’re happy that they’re back as Jared and Kara are probably one of the funniest comedian power couples that we know.

The new Better Half will now happen on Tuesday’s at Echo Park’s dark, chic (and even a little sexy?) Bar Bandini. This first line-up for their new night/venue is pretty stellar (as was always the case with Better Half).

Swing on by to Bar Bandini next Tuesday for this new Better Half and keep up to date with line-ups here.

beth stelling, echo park, john early, kate berlant, stand up comedy, tom of finland

As both Kate Berlant and John Early are skyrocketing with their own individual successes in comedy, it’s a much more rare occasion that you’ll see them on stage together, a dynamic that so famously dazzled audiences across the country (including Fallon and The Tonight Show).

Thankfully, a chance to catch them together again will be happening this week in a special performance at the intimate space of the Tom of Finland Foundation (a lovely house in Echo Park). The always lovely Beth Stelling will be joining them as well, which just might end up being the stand out night of this “Summer Acoustic Series”.

Best go get your tickets here.

Please Enjoy Beth Stelling’s Story on Kimmel About a Special Visit to Chippendale’s

beth stelling, chippendale's, jimmy kimmel live, stand up comedy

The charm of Beth Stelling knows no bounds. Even in telling a story about a sort of role-reversal at Chippendale’s, the famous male revue, in Vegas no less, Stelling comes off as so cool, calm, and collected in a subtly spellbinding way.

Also, this might be the first stand-up set shot and subsequently broadcast on Jimmy Kimmel Live from Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club in Vegas. So far, it definitely feels better than the stage back in Hollywood as it’s a traditional comedy club set up.

Anyways, please enjoy Beth’s wonderful set/story here.

It’s pretty clear as far as we can see: many of the best comedians in town will gather for an all female June every Friday at Sauce @ DeSano Pizza for the cleverly coined Pizza Coven.

Just like at that exquisite line-up that includes many of our personal favorites, folks who have been killing it on TV for years, legitimate nationally touring headliners, and more over the next four weeks and you’ll know that your Fridays should be spent at one of the best pizza joints in LA.

So, reserve your tickets here for a Pizza Coven already.

When going out to one of LA’s many stellar comedy shows, you might often wonder what, where, and when you should eat (especially some great indie shows take place in weird parts of town and there just so happens to be no food truck present).

Well, Amuse Bouche will be an evening next month that gracefully fixes that issue by offering up an exclusive, delicious dinner from Otoño, Hail Mary, and Melody as well as a very, very, very delectable line-up of comedy (just look at the flyer and you’ll know). You can thank CleftClips and the podcast Yelling About Pâté for such presenting such a night for epicures/comedy aficionados.

Tickets are $35 (includes show + dinner, drinks sold separately). Go get ‘em here before they sell out.

The Business is now set to mark an entire 10 years in the biz, hopping around the country (SF, LA, NYC) as a stalwart indie stand-up comedy show.

Come toast them and enjoy all their hosts and their absolute favorites in The Business current home, Little Joy in Echo Park.

Come join them, as always, for free this coming Monday. Get more info and updates @thebusinessla on Twitter and IG.

The passing of Kevin Barnett came out of nowhere and was a shock to family, friends, and fans alike. As such, a gigantic, stupendous benefit (as you can see in the flyer above) for Kevin’s family will be held this coming Tuesday at the Echoplex.

Tickets are only $10 and all proceeds will be going to Kevin’s family. Go get them here before they probably sell out.

Also, you can support Kevin’s GoFundMe too.

Bird Luger Forever.

Netflix has nabbed several golden geese with lining-up comedy specials from Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Louis CK, Amy Schumer, and Jerry Seinfeld.

If you’re in LA on Tuesday, February 28th and/or Wednesday, March 1st you can go the tapings at Cicada Restaurant in DTLA. RSVP for tickets here.

Seeso Orders 6th Season of JFL’s “Funny as Hell”

You’ll be treated to the stand-up of Cameron Esposito, Eugene Mirman, Janeane Garofalo, Beth Stelling, Aparna Nancherla, Kurt Metzger, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Liza Treyger, the Lucas Brothers, Byron Bowers, Sean Patton, Sam Morril, James Davis, Ian Abramson, Sean Donnelly, Thomas Dale, Ahmed Bharoocha and Emo Philips.

Part of a great comedy cultural exchange between the U.S. and Canada comes around during the JFL Montreal Comedy Festival when JFL also shoots their stand-up showcase series, Funny as Hell.

As past episodes have been streamed plenty on Seeso, Seeso has opted to make the series more known in the States, especially because of its heavy use of U.S. talent, to order a sixth season that’ll offered on NBC’s comedy streaming service.

There will be more names that’ll be added to the series during the festival, but that line-up alone is reason enough to go watch it.
