Our 7th Anniversary show is next week! Yep, we’re almost 7 years old (and we actually remembered to do something to celebrate this time around!)

We added Talk Show the Game Show’s Guy Branum, James Adomian, who you might have seen wreak delightful havoc at LA Podcast Festival, and a flyer!

Also, we’ll be raffling some of those fancy enamel pins that are otherwise only available through Patreon and our brand new album from AST Records, Comedians of Interest Vol. 1.

Tickets are $10 if you get them in advance or $15 cash at the door.

Well, if you love schadenfreude and stand-up comedy, it’s doesn’t get more schadenfreude-ish than having comedians watch their earliest sets with other comedians commenting on it and a crowd strangers watching the whole affair.

That’s exactly what Jay Larson’s Burned Material will be when it kicks off at the end of the month at Nerdmelt with fantastic comedians Rory Scovel, Fahim Anwar, Brent Morin. 

Tickets are $10 and you can (and should) get them here.

Basically, this is probably somewhere between Comedy Bang! Bang! and Shark Tank that actually awards $1000 grants to one lucky entrepreneur.

More specifically: 
The Awesome Foundation is a worldwide network of people devoted to forwarding the interest of awesomeness in the universe. The Foundation distributes a series of monthly $1,000 grants to projects and their creators. The money is pooled together from the coffers of our self-organizing “micro-trustees” and given upfront in cash, check, or gold doubloons (but never actually in gold doubloons). 

Matt Walsh, Scot Armstrong, Andy Richter, Brad Morris, Allison Raskin, and Jamie Denbo will make up the special panel for this Awesome Foundation Comedy Show.

Tickets are $25 and you can (and should) get them here. Also, you can get a VIP ticket that includes a meet-and-greet with Matt Walsh and Scot Armstrong before the show and a premium seat for $200.

Neil Hamburger, America’s Funnyman, has been greasing his hair, coughing, holding too many cocktails, and roasting music for 10 years at The Satellite. 

Come celebrate the decade of Neil’s residency at the end of the month with a line-up that’s already stacked and will undoubtedly get more stacked.

Get your tickets ASAP as we’re sure this show will sell out rather quickly.

Eliot Glazer returns with more of his Haunting Renditions (i.e. beautiful arrangements of the most overplayed, overhyped pop songs of yesteryear) later this month at The Virgil.

He’ll be having a very special guest in Abbi Jacobson (you know, from that one Broad City show) too.

Yes, The Comedy Bureau will have officially served the LA comedy scene for 7 years at the end of this month. That’s 56 years in dog years and (probably 70 in “bureau years”?)

This time, we actually took enough of a break to remind ourselves that we should put on a show (and actually try to make some money doing so).

As you can see from this scrawled upon napkin straight from the very desk of TCB itself, it ought to be a really good time. Also, there will be a raffle that includes fancy enamel pins, our album (more on that later), etc.

You can get tickets now for $10 or $15 cash at door. Get tickets, more details (that are more legible) here.

Public School Stories is one of the best storytelling shows in LA and also has, as you can clearly see, some of the prettiest flyers we’ve seen.  

This latest edition has a really damn good line-up (featuring folks from MST3K, You’re The Worst, and Progressive Insurance, and more) as you can additionally see, that you shouldn’t miss out on. 

NOTE: show is on October 4th, 2017 9PM.

Toasty is half real cocktail party, half fictional cocktail party with a bunch of characters giving toasts from folks that are, shall we say, not quite well-adjusted. It also happens to be one of our, hands down, favorite things ever.

The line-up would be stellar for a normal comedy show, but, as this is a slightly otherworldly show, it’s even more special.

Please get your tickets as soon as you can because space is limited. They’re $20 (includes free drinks and snacks) and you can get them here.

The Rainbow Brainskull Hour, the creation of comedian, artist, and multimedia hyphenate Ramin Nazer, is an indie comedy show truly suited to its home in an neighborhood comic book store. It’s a great stand-up comedy show paired with phosphorescent magic and animation conjured up by Nazer himself.

Silly, absurdist sketch comedy, fantastic jazz, and an excellent example of Vaudevillian style clowning all come together here. 

Sammy Miller and The Congregation might be the most fun loving jazz band around that weaves tomfoolery in between songs and Bill Irwin is a traditional clown that can show how Vaudeville can still live on.

On top of all of that, this Sunday night, September 24th at 8:30PM, engagement will take place at the lovely Old Town Music Hall, an classical revival theater in El Segundo.

Tickets are $25 and please, please get them here.

People being nice to each other is such a novel concept these days that having people competitively complimenting each other would indeed be a basis for a show worth going out to see. 

That’s why we keep telling you to go to Kyle Ayers Boast Rattle, which has its latest edition this Thursday with a “joy-filled, rosy eyed” line-up.

Tickets are $7 and you can (and really should) get them here.

It looks like the time for the Trepany House at Steve Allen Theater is actually coming to an end, and, with it, The Tomorrow Show with Ron Lynch (an LA comedy institution as far as we’re concerned) seems to be ending as well. 

Though it has been running for over a decade every Saturday at midnight, there’s only a month’s worth of ‘Tomorrow’ left and, as such, this week’s show is a special “MASH-UP!” that gives a sampling of Crapshoot!, Five Minutes or Die!, and Hook-Up! (i.e. the various fan favorite formats of Tomorrow).

So, please make sure you see this or one of the three other Tomorrows. You can (and should) get tickets for this week’s MASH-UP! here.

Sure, you’ve seen psychics. You’ve probably even seen funny psychics. 

However, have you seen a funny psychic that derives their clairvoyance and sight into the future through three random songs from your personal music library?

Well, if you’re acquainted, either through national radio or podcast, with Dr. Lars Dingman, the “iTunes Psychic” then you know that a live edition of the iTunes Psychic is something you shouldn’t miss out on.

That’s right, Dr. Lars is doing his latest LA live show at Nerdmelt Showroom at the beginning of next month and you can (and should) get your tickets here.
