Pretty much as soon as the first show was announced, An Evening with 4/5 of the Whitest Kids U Know at The Pack Theater sold out. A second show was added and also sold out shortly thereafter.

Fret not, as both performances from the cult sketch group next week will be selling standing room tickets at the door for both shows for $10.

So, make sure you get to The Pack Theater this coming Thurs., Aug. 30th well before 9PM to make sure you get in on what ought to be a damn fun night of (somewhat) controlled chaos.

character comedy, comedy show, kristen studard, lyric hyperion, prolonged eye contact, silverlake

For years now, we’ve marveled at the many stunning facets of Kristen Studard’s comedy that includes characters, improv, short film, and stand-up. There is always something wonderfully off-beat about everything she does, which is why we’re excited for her upcoming solo show Prolonged Eye Contact (apparently, there will be actual, intentional prolonged eye contact during the show too) at the Lyric Hyperion.

The show’s description, which we enjoyed, reads:

Prolonged Eye Contact is a an interactive solo show by comedian Kristen Studard about the search for love, connection, and approval by one performer with one audience. Kristen would like to be loved by you, monogamously. (She’s a one-audience type of gal.) What happens when someone won’t break eye contact? Uh oh, shit just got real. Through a series of characters, a game show, and an erotic encounter with a bee, Kristen woos you by opening her heart and her eyes and looking right into your soul. Are you ready to be seen?

She has three performances that you can catch from Thurs. Aug. 23rd-Sat. Aug. 25th at 10PM. Tickets are $10 and you can (and really, really should) get them here.

audible, august, bad reception, comedy show, long form improv, los angeles, release party, ucb sunset

Of the many things that you should keep your ears perked up for on premium audio streaming platform, Audible, the upcoming series Bad Reception from Justin Michael and Eric Martin should be at the top of the list.

Bad Reception gathers some of the best improvisers around including Drew Tarver, Betsy Sodaro, Paul F. Tompkins, D’Arcy Carden, Dan Lippert, Carl Tart, Mary Sasson, and more to weave the tall tale of the “incident” that befell South Grampers in Northern California. The story of the “movie butter capital of the world” is completely improvised in 13 acts and constructed completely through various phone (and phone related) conversations.

Having gotten a sneak listen to it, we really enjoyed the tinge of the fantastical given by a Choose Your Own Adventure book, except improvisors are making all the choices and are definitely making up their own satisfyingly absurd choices.

So, there will be a release party for Bad Reception later this month, Saturday, August 18th, at UCB Sunset at 9PM. The creators and much of the cast will be there. Tickets are $12 and you can (and should) go get them here.

Oh, you can pre-order Bad Reception (avail. Aug. 21st) on Audible here.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t give you a specific heads up on the latest edition of Repentance at Lyric Hyperion on Wednesday, August 15th.

Not only are Ahamed Weinberg, Ramy Youssef, and Kyle Mizono a wondrous show on their own, but the addition of Aparna, The Lucas Brothers, Jamar, and Jared is beyond stacked.

Honestly, we’re a bit surprised that it’s not sold out yet.

Tickets are $10 and space is limited. Go get your tickets quick here.

Sure, a cash prize Super Smash Bros. tournament is already pretty enticing on its own.

However, comedians riffing, talking trash, etc. is a pretty damn nice frosting on a solid cake.

Game On is promising all of this and more with the likes of Jak Knight and Jamel Johnson and more on that aforementioned panel of comedians.

Best of all, it’s FREE to watch. Get more details here.

Rather than wait for comedy folks to make fun of a bad movie that finds its way to your local multiplex, come watch them dream up something that’s so bad that it’s funny (and, of course, subsequently reveling in how bad/stereotypical/derivative/hack it is) at the new live comedy show Setflix.

Looking at this line-up, which includes a longtime member of Screen Junkies and a co-host of The Bechdel Cast along with a co-host of The Simpsons podcast Everything’s Coming Up Podcast, we’re pretty sure you going to hear some “best/worst” movie pitches.

Setflix will happen at Dynasty Typewriter on Wednesday, August 15th at 8PM. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at door. Get them in advance here.

Every so often…

…there comes a time…

…when UCB here in LA wants to do a very ambitious immersive comedy show…

…and use all the rooms at their disposal (specifically at UCB Sunset)…

…to give you one hell of a comedy experience!

That time is… this Saturday, July 21st when Cheap Ass Comic-Con presented by the Unfinished Target at Sunset and Western.

UCB has done a few of these over the years and they’ve always been otherworldly and so damn funny. So, don’t miss this latest one where they do a send-up of Comic-Con (also, it might be a great way to get an approximation of the Comic-Con experience without spending a whole lot of money and going to San Diego).

They’ve got three times that you can go this Saturday, 7PM, 8:30PM, and 10PM all at $12 a pop.

We highly recommend to get your tickets to catch this (probably) one time only Cheap Ass Comic-Con.

One of our favorite Sunday stand-up show/cookout/hangs was the Golden Hour co-hosted by MK Paulsen and Kyle Berseth featuring Simon Gibson.

However, they had to go on hiatus for awhile because they lost out on their venue, even though it was a DIY, makeshift space made from a parking lot/loading dock.

We’ll, we’re happy to announce that Golden Hour is returning this Sunday, July 15th with the same great stand-up, free hot dogs, and basking under the LA sunset/dusk, but doing so in Mid-City at START LA (2266 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA).

The first line-up is a doozy with Daniel Rugg Webb, Maggie Maye, Sheng Wang, Megan Gailey, and Moses Storm on top of it being MK’s birthday.

So, make this your plans for this Sunday. Doors open at 7PM. Get more details here.

What’s not to love about Paul Simon’s nephew, Taul Simon (the very funny Drew Spears, 1/3 of the brilliant rascals of LA’s Cool Shit/Weird Shit ), putting on a “music show” to spite his uncle for not letting him play at his farewell shows? Certainly, we don’t actually know if Taul has the “goods”, but a show born out of having a chip on your should is always a fun thing to watch. Just see this promo for 500 Ways to Leave Your Lover – A Nephew’s Lament above.

Also, the likes of Mike Hanford (The Birthday Boys, Comedy Bang! Bang!), Teresa Lee (Take My Wife, Cracked), Marlena Rodriguez (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Brad Evans and Nick Ciarelli (Atlantic City, Tween Fest) will be joining Taul/Drew for what’s sure to be an evening that you won’t forget even if Paul Simon himself ends up not caring.

500 Ways to Leave Your Love will be taking place next week at 10PM on Wednesday, July 18th at the Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe. Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.
