The Best Friends Show is always pretty great.
This line-up though is pretty special, even by their standards as best friends and real life married couples Emily Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani and Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher are on the line-up for this Saturday.
Tickets are $5 online and $6 at door. You can (and should) get tickets in advance here.
As the pull quote on the flyer above suggests, Natalie Palamides’ solo show LAID is one of our favorite things of 2016.
Thankfully, she’s bringing it back once more, this Monday, in LA at UCB Franklin and you really ought to not miss the groundbreaking show.
Please get your tickets here.

One of the best and most unique storytelling shows around is coming around again.
We Still Like You features stories from funny people where they are definitely not the hero. There’s live illustration and, at the end, the audience gets to cathartically exclaim “WE STILL LIKE YOU!” Also, it’s in the intimate setting of someone’s house.
It’s happening this Saturday with a fun line-up of recent LA transplant comedians. Doors are at 9:30PM and you can get more details here.

This weekend, the amazing Heather Anne Campbell (AOK, Hebecky Drysbell, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Midnight Show) and guests will be doing live video game tournaments with play-by-play commentary, which, we’re just guessing here, is way better, more hilarious, and less offensive (probably) than most insults thrown between most gamers.
It will be the very first Video Game Show at The Pack Theater in Hollywood and admission is just pay what you can. Get more details here.

Comedy Crawl and Open Mic Run All Updated for Next Week
Whether St. Patrick’s Day is your thing or not, we’ve got plenty of comedy to go right along with however you choose to take on this week.
A unifying bond of comedians is the painful, cringeworthy start that they all had. Giulia Rozzi’s show First Set gathers comedians that are very funny and revisits those beginnings as well as contrasts it with honed, well-crafted comedy that they currently do. It’s like Mortified, but specifically for stand-up.
Baron Vaughn, Ramon Rivas, Melissa McQueen, and Jade Catta-Preta will be showcasing their comedy “then vs. now” next Monday at UCB Sunset.
Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.

Over a year, the comedy night at Crane’s Bar in Downtown LA have established themselves as one of the best recurring comedy shows downtown.
This Monday will actually mark an official year anniversary of the show presented by Corbin Recke, Harry Moroz, Trevor Smith, and Trish Hadley. They have quite the line-up with Kyle Kinane, Tone Bell, Ben Roy, Caitlin Gill, and a few more as yet TBA guests.
Admission is free and you can get more details here.
If you’re going early and want a good seat, definitely show up well before 8 FYI.

Moshe Kasher is doing two test runs of his upcoming Comedy Central series, Problematic, at UCB Franklin.

Watching comedians perform, you might think that they’re such succinct observers of the world around them that probably know a little more than just a thing or two.
This new show “Experts” (Note: the quotation marks are intentionally part of the title and suggest an air of sarcasm) will put comedians and their knowledge to the test via a completely factual multimedia presentation on a topic.
This first show has an amazing line-up that could make anything they talk about entertaining, but will focus in on a topic they feel that they’re an “expert” in. With Guy Branum, we’d guess it be Canada.
“Experts” will kick off next week at UCB Sunset. Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.

Hosts Ahamed Weinberg and Ramy Youssef always gather a great handful of comedians like Rory Scovel, Anna Seregina, and Curtis Cook for their monthly stand-up showcase that focuses on the theme of “repentance”.
Also, this is one of the handful of places where you can see John Mulaney live around LA this week.
Right now, the show is sold out of advance tickets, but there will be a stand by line that might have a few tickets available for $7.

Picture This!, the comedy show that includes live, real time animation is getting a special taping next week.

Netflix has nabbed several golden geese with lining-up comedy specials from Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Louis CK, Amy Schumer, and Jerry Seinfeld.
That doesn’t mean they want to do comedy specials with some of comedy’s best rising stars.
So, with that in mind, they’ve gathered Nikki Glaser, Deon Cole, Beth Stelling, Fortune Feimster, and Dan Soder for half hour comedy specials, which is the next logical step for Netflix’s ever expanding stand-up and comedy empire.
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.
Here’s an opportunity to take a break from speaking out at actual town halls and enjoy a fake “American Town Hall” next week where all you need to do is laugh at “citizen speakers” from Newport, RI.
It’s $5 at the door and the ticket sales go to ACLU, so you’re still doing a good thing by going.

President’s Day is next week and will, probably, be a much more bitter day than it ever usually it is given the times we’re living in.
Luckily, we’ve got plenty of live comedy listings in and throughout the Greater LA area to ease your anxiety, tension, etc.
Tomorrow night, Lindsay Ames’ My Diary will gather some of the best people from every corner of comedy and has them share a part of a diary that they kept at some point in their life. This usually includes accompanying pictures that show just how “expressive” they were in writing in their most private correspondence.
John Early, who you probably just saw on The Tonight Show, the voice of one of the new Powerpuff Girls Natalie Palamides, and Baron Vaughn (both on late night and in Grace & Frankie) is just half of this fine line-up.
Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.
