comedy show, dave anthony, dtla, gareth reynolds, live podcast, the dollop

comedy show, josh and josh show, stand up, weho, west hollywood

For 10 years, every Thursday, Josh Haness and Josh Weinstein have been holding down one of the best stand-up showcases in LA, appropriately called The Josh & Josh Show. Held in the back room of Bar Lubitsch, the nice and tight line-up always made for a damn fine night of stand-up in WeHo.

Unfortunately, The Joshes have decided to end their decade run at Lubitsch next Thursday leaving this Thursday and 11/15 left for you to catch their show (a thing we highly urge you to do, especially since it’s FREE w/no drink minimum or maximum).

Tomorrow, they’ve got a stacked line-up of Joe DeRosa, Kara Klenk, Jared Logan, Kurt Braunohler, Eddie Della Siepe, and Ian Karmel.

So, come to the lovely Bar Lubitsch this Thursday and/or next to pay your respects, enjoy The Josh & Josh Show’s swan song, and, of course, watch some great stand-up.
