Pick of the Day: Jackie and Laurie Present

News, Uncategorized

burbank, jackie kashian, laurie kilmartin, los angeles, pick of the day, stand up comedy

Hands down, one of our all time favorite podcasts is The Jackie and Laurie Show with the amazing, brilliant, hysterical pairing of Jackie Kashian and Laurie Kilmartin. Their weekly perspective as some of the funniest comedians working today (that happen to be older women) is a true joy and illuminating on how far we’ve come with representation in comedy and how much further we need to go.

This evening is a special showcase that not only feature Kashian and Kilmartin, but a collection of their “Comics of the Week”, a handpicked line-up of their favorite female comics that you need to see, which will include Marcella Arguello, Hannah Einbinder, Robin Tran, Kimberly Clark, Bernie Pauley, Amy Anderson.

So, you’ll get a bit of Jackie and Laurie and an amazing stand-up show all in one night. Tickets for Jackie and Laurie Present are $20 (+2 item min.). Please go get them here.

bugcon, burbank, festival, podcast

What is BugCon? For starters, it’s definitely not an Entomology convention.

It is, however, named in honor of Bug Mane who first appeared to us all on the Doughboys podcast (though it is to be noted that BugCon is not a Doughboys event despite both Doughboys hosts Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell being slated to appear for multiple events).

As far as we can tell, this weekend will actually be part podcast/streaming festival, part performance art exhibition, part art installation, and part fun, screen-filled journey through post-modernity.

Such events/panels/happenings at BugCon will include:
-Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born Takes Places in an Alternate Reality Where 9/11 Never Happened
-Nick Wiger Drives a Train
-The BugTV panel with Bugmane
-Jack AM
-HOW TO WRITE A BOOK A MAKE AT LEAST $600
-American Arts and Culture Review Podcast
-a whole lot more

Also, you’ll get an exclusive “BugCon 2019 Fan Safety Vest” and “BugVision” glasses if you attend. Perhaps, you’ll need both items to handle the whole experience?

So, you can (and should) get an all access pass for BugCon 2019 here. Full schedule and line-up is available on mobile devices at http://bugcon.net.

burbank, cheap comedy, crystals, free comedy, los angeles, north hollywood, stand up

Often in LA, there are comedy shows that, for a myriad of reasons, happen in non-traditional spaces (salons, vintage stores, teepees). The novelty of the atypical venue adds charm, but only a handful of shows actually lean in to whatever space they’re in.

Full Moon Comedy, hosted by Charlie Bury, Lindsay Adams, and Aaron Weaver, takes advantage of being in the mystical supply and apothecary, The Green Man Store in North Hollywood. Guided meditations, prescriptions of crystals for comedians based on their sets, and actual folks that are in touch with the magical/spiritual/etc. world all happen at this show.

This latest edition of the show also has a fantastic line-up with Eddie Pepitone, The Sisters Puterbaugh, Renee Gauthier, and a very special ceremony from La Sound Healing.

Best of all, it’s free to attend. Get more details here.
