This brand new, weekly comedy game show, Hollywood Quars, hosted by Matt Lieb, takes trivia to a whole new level as both the contestants AND the host don’t know the answers to the questions (even when the host wrote them). It’s up to a really great line-up of comedians to make it seem like their answer is the best (or maybe even actually right?).

For this first edition of Hollywood Quars on Thurs. Jun. 4th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET, they’ve assembled:

Baron Vaughn (Netflix, Comedy Central)
Steph Tolev (Comedy Central)
Brandie Posey (Lady 2 Lady Podcast)
Sean Keane (Roundball Rock Podcast)
Caitlin Gill (NPR, 2 Dope Queens)
Madison Shepard (Album “Goodnight Silverlake Lounge”)
Jessica Sele (Vice TV)
Chris Estrada (Comedy Central)
Casey Ley (Gay Power Half Hour )

Also, we gotta say, having gotten a sneak peak, this very well might be one of the slickest looking comedy game shows done via live-stream.

By the way, they’ll be raising money for Minnesota Freedom Fund (which, due to so much support, is distributing funds to other worthy causes)

Tickets are $8 if you snag them right now and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

Pick of the Day: High Priestess in Cyberspace 5/27

For most months, High Priestess has served up LA a bewitching offering of live comedy, weed, and tarot. Hosts Bri Pruett and Sara June always brought together a beautiful line-up of LA’s best and presented their show in intimate, enchanting spaces.

LA’s still on lockdown, so that can’t necessarily get you to those intimate spaces yet or provide you with weed through the screen, but High Priestess is still aiming to bring you a great witchy comedy experience via live-stream. High Priestess in Cyberspace, their first live-stream show, will have a grand line-up of Casey Ley, Daniel Rugg Webb, Tessa Skara, and Bri Giger and live tarot as well all over Zoom on Wed. May 27th at 8PM PT/11PM ET.

So, you can (and very much should) RSVP for High Priestess in Cyberspace here.

So many of LA’s best queer comedians will be assembling for a mad dash of a stand-up show, A Night of a Thousand Queers, next week. They’ll all be doing two minutes or less, so you can see as much amazing LGBTQ comedians (many of our favorites are on there FYI) as possible.

The show is free to attend leaving you very little reason to not make your way downtown to In Heroes We Trust Gallery next Saturday. Get more details here.

Whether it was pairs of these folks on stage together or not, the line-up for the upcoming Couples Therapy with Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman is beyond stuffed with comedy goodness.

The duos going up together include:
Henry Zebrowski and Jackie Zebrowski
Janine Brito and Paula Pell
Solomon Georgio and Casey Ley
Amber Nelson and Nick Vatterott

Pretty swell, right? So, go get your tickets here already.

If you haven’t seen James Fritz spit fire with his stand up recently, then you should definitely make sure you correct that and check him out doing a real long set, that probably won’t be too long, tomorrow night at Silverlake Lounge.

It’s free to attend and has Kevin Camia, Casey Ley, and Madison Shepard also performing, which gives you less of an excuse to not go.
