Please Support the Return of Echoes Under Sunset
Echoes Under Sunset was as DIY of a place as you could get and both figuratively and literally an underground venue, but it still managed to get voted as one of LA Weekly’s Best New Comedy Club and had a hell of a run over four years.
It gave a stage to open micers, up and comers, people who just got their break and pros and was definitely addition to the LA comedy scene.
After unceremoniously being shut down, Christian Chavez, the owner and proprietor, has been eyeing a return for Echoes in the already cool, but still booming neighborhood of Little Tokyo, just a couple miles of away from Echo Park, the original home of Echoes Under Sunset.
He’s already got a space picked out, but he needs help with making the space into the wondrous comedy venue that he once had including sound equipment, lighting, flooring, furniture, stage, etc.
This new Echoes has a GoFundMe set up for $50K and we highly urge you to contribute and donate at the link above.
