chinatown

In case you didn’t know, Hannibal Buress often takes the stage now by his rap alias, Eshu Tune. He has come a long way in the rap game since doing Gibberish Rap, but his bars are now filled with the same minutia focused cleverness that Buress made a big name in comedy with.

Eshu Tune is set to put on a weekly Monday blend of music and comedy right in the middle of Chinatown at The Grand Star Jazz Club starting at the end of this month. While you’ll have to head downtown, most parking meters are off around that time on a Monday night. Also, you’ll get a hell of a mix of a line-up that will feature anyone from Open Mike Eagle to Kiefer to Eshu/Hannibal’s favorite comedians that are in and around LA.

Eshu Tune: The Isola Sessions take over (most) Mondays starting Sept. 26th after 8PM and tickets are going for $20. Go get them here as The Grand Star Jazz Club can be pretty intimate.

Comedians doing a live read for a reality show is already a good enough sell as is.

Having a line-up of Bowen Yang, Joel Kim Booster, Nori Reed, Jared Goldstein, Sherry Cola, Julia Shiplett, Tien Tran, and more do a live-read of a specific episode of Bling Empire is even better.

Doing that all for the sake of directly supporting Asian communities (at a time that Asian communities direly need backing from everyone due to an upward trend in hate crimes against Asians) in both LA and NYC shouldn’t even be the reason that you’d go in for this live-reading, but if that’s it, then so be it.

Thus, you should get tickets via a $10 suggested donation to the upcoming Bling Empire: A Live Reading Fundraiser on Wed. Feb. 24th at 6PM PT/9PM ET that’s raising money for Chinatown Community for Equitable Development (LA) and Send Chinatown Love (NYC). You can and should get more details/donate/tickets/live-stream access here.

An inflatable screen, a DIY picnic area outside of an animation studio, and a bunch of wondrous, as stated, “messed up cartoons” is what makes Let’s What Messed Up Cartoons a pretty damn memorable evening (perhaps, one of those only in LA sort of happenings?).

In any case, it should be one of the stops on whatever you’re doing this Halloween weekend. Get more details here.

If you haven’t been to LA’s Chinatown in awhile, this Bob’s Burgers art show would be the perfect reason to go check out a neighborhood that’s slowly, but surely getting revitalized.

Also, it’s hard to beat gourmet burgers at a Bob’s Burgers live event.
