For a year, a “sentient” robot has been hosting a delightful show in marvelous indie, underground venue that’s only accessible via an alley.

To mark the occasion, Mikey Heller, the robot, and a very stacked line-up that includes some very fun out-of-towners and retro-inspired magic will take place right after Valentine’s Day.

Seriously, a robot does host the show and you have to go see it for yourself.

This latest edition will have Janine Brito, Dave Helem, Ian Abramson, Lydia Popovich, and host/Dungeon Master John-Michael Bond.

The next Dungeon is set for 7PM this Saturday Feb. 3rd at Nerdmelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at door. Please go get them here.

It’s been more than awhile (and much longer than we prefer) since this show has been around, but, thankfully, We Still Like You is coming back.

All the comedians booked tell a story in which they are definitely not the hero. At the end of each story, the audience cheers “"We still like you!“ in act of forgiveness. Per usual, the line-up is great.

Tickets are $5 and you can get more info here.

If there was a way for you to appreciate songs that are widely panned or hardly known for various reasons, it would be comedians telling their story of why they love said songs and then perform a live cover of it, complete with a live band.

Thus, we highly recommend to catch Guilty Treasure this week in Hollywood at Three Clubs. Please get tickets here.
