Arguably, Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen is one of the best comedy shows in the country, maybe even the world. It has become a staple in both LA and NYC that’s pretty much sold to capacity every week well over a whole decade.

This 12th Anniversary of Hot Tub that’s happening tomorrow is actually sold out, but there will be a small number of tickets available at the door. Both Kurt and Kristen will do some of their classic sketches in addition to the killer line-up that they always have.

This Monday night, February 20th, doors will be open at 7PM at The Virgil (we’re guessing some might be lining up well before that), tickets will be at $8 at the door, and the show will start at 8PM.

Dave Ross Shares the Story of How Was Once Tripping on Acid in One of the Most Dangerous Places in LA

November 10, 2016

acid trip, dave ross, storytelling, this is not happening

Dave Ross is hilarious and this is a hilarious acid tripping story that just found it’s way to Comedy Central’s storytelling series This Is Not Happening.

“Burn This Election” Will Be a 2016 Election Themed Comedy Album Supporting RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network)

October 27, 2016

barbara gray, brandie posey, dave ross, erin lampart, jackie kashian, jenny yang, joe starr, john-michael bond, josh androsky, kate willett, megan koester, sean keane, todd masterson

There’s so much to love about this project called Burn This Election.

It’s a comedy album that will be recorded in a house featuring some of LA’s best comedians including Jackie Kashian, Dave Ross, Sean Keane, Kate Willett, and way more spitting fire, comedically, about this year’s election with all of the proceeds going to support the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the country, RAINN.

Yes, they did pick that group in response to the words and actions of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump.

We’re guessing that you’ll rarely get to see comedy delivered with such urgency in the intimacy of a house. Also, the album is set to drop on Election Day, which should be a nice palate cleanser to this nightmare of an election cycle.

The taping of the album will be hosted by Brandie Posey and is set for next week in a house in Hollywood on Wednesday, November 2nd at 8:30PM. Admission is free, but they’ll also be taking donations for RAINN as well.

Dave Ross & Ryan Singer’s Sketch Album “Three” Is Darkly Hysterical and Also Very NSFW

comedy album, dark comedy, dave ross, ryan singer, sketch, three

Often, inspiration come in the 11th hour and at the spur of the moment. Such is the case with Three, a sketch album from Dave Ross and Ryan Singer recorded in four hours after they were having dinner one random night.

Oddly enough, the sketches contained therein pretty much cover all the bases of what you’re not supposed to talk about at the dinner table, mostly sex and religion. Also, they seemingly improvise in such a ridiculous way that wouldn’t be kosher at any table, save for the one for the sketch group that Ross is in, Women.

The outright, ultra-blue absurdity of Three toes the line between being cringeworthy and the sort of comedy that breaks your brain for how farcical it is.

If you’re into really dark comedy, you might really get into Three (just probably don’t play it loud at work as we mentioned in the headline).

Oh, did we mention it’s free to stream and download?
