The stars of the latest iteration of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Jonah Ray, Baron Vaughn, and Hampton Yount will assemble once again to roast those sorts of movies that beg the sorts of confused questions, “How?” “Why?”
Though, this time, they’ll be doing so as themselves sans any sort of puppetry or outer space back drop. Join them at Dynasty Typewriter later this month for Destroy All Movies to revel in their razor sharp, speedy riffing.
Tickets are $15 right now and $20 on the day of. Save a bit of cash and get tickets right now right here.
As an endlessly curious mind, David Huntsberger and his comedy really dig into and questioning the human experience, especially when it comes to the science of it all and the limits of what we know about the universe. So, you can only imagine that he’s going to do something really trippy in taping a comedy special (FYI, he’s going to do “something” really cool with “VR”).
You really ought to see what Huntsberger got cooking for the taping of his comedy special at Dynasty Typewriter this Sunday. Tickets are $15 in adv. and $20 day of.
However, we can get you in for free so long as you e-mail us at thecomedybureau@gmail.com about wanting to go to David Huntsberger’s stand-up comedy special taping.
The fearsome and hysterical comedy stylings of Sam Jay are coming back to LA for one special night at Dynasty Typewriter.
Jay currently writes at (and occasionally pops up on) SNL, but her stand-up is something to behold as it’s fiery as it is meticulously crafted.
Tickets are $15 right now and $20 on the day of. Save a few bucks and snag tickets here.
Mary Beth Barone’s daring PSA/talk show Drag His Ass: a f*ckboy treatment program about f*ckboys and how to get off of them (both literally and figuratively) was one of our favorite things that we saw in 2019.
So, naturally, we’re going to tell you to go to the latest edition of Drag His Ass, which is perfectly right before Valentine’s Day. Get tickets here.
Demi Adejuyigbe never ceases to amaze in the ambition of and conception of his bits and the scope at which he expands them to.
Case in point, his latest show wherein he will do an amazing multimedia variety show with great guests (Lizzy Cooperman and Sarah Squirm are fantastic), as he normally would with any show he’s involved in and a single backflip with no prior experience or training. The spectacle alone, whatever it may be, has to be worth the price of admission.
Tickets for Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going To Do One (1) Backflip are $15 now and $20 on the day of and you can (and very, very, very much should) get them here. It very well may be the first great thing you see in 2020.
Of the things to look forward to in 2020, we’re adding a monthly slot at Dynasty Typewriter for The Dollop Podcast to the list (in fact, we’d probably put it near the top). The crucial and hysterical comedy history podcast hosted by Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds has become such a podcast that it regularly tours around the country and the world sharing perhaps the most entertaining versions of some of the weirdest and darkest stories in history.
The live episodes are really something special and you ought to know, in LA, they’ll be getting some damn fine guests TBA.
Anyhow, this monthly Dollop at Dynasty Typewriter will be raising money for various charities FYI, making this residency even more wonderful than already is.
Their first date is Tues. Feb. 11th at 8PM and tickets are $20 right now (and $25 on the day of-though we suspect they might be sold out before then). Go get them here quick.
This Monday at Dynasty Typewriter will feature two entirely different, but completely worth going to holiday themed comedy/storytelling shows back-to-back! Also, it could be viewed as a double feature of sorts for the brilliant Drew Droege!
First, Drew will host in character with Mitch Silpa obsessing over gossip, celebrity dish and in their own characters’ lives in Two Old Queens Celebrating the Holidays. The likes of James Adomian, Michaela Watkins, and Jillian Bell will be joining them in improvising the whole show.
Immediately after, Drew will be one of a handful of storytellers including the wonderful Laura House sharing their stories about their dead parents for Happy Holidays! Our Parent/s Are Dead. (we have no doubt it’ll be funny and endearing).
If you’re looking for holidays themed comedy, Dynasty Typewriter might be the place to go on Mon. Dec. 16th. Tickets for both shows are $10 right now and $15 on the day of. Get them here and here respectively.
Frankie Quinones iconic character Creeper from the hysterical CholoFit™ workout video series is putting on a very special holiday themed stand-up comedy night at the wonderful Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth Theater. We have no doubt that you’ll get a workout from both laughing and whatever holiday “exercises” that Creeper is going to share.
Also, “proceeds will benefit The Andy Vargas Foundation helping scholarship funding for underprivileged youth in California.”
Tickets are $20 in adv., $25 day of and you can (and very much should) get those tickets here.
When it comes to the craft of making and telling jokes, The Sklar Brothers have a love of tinkering with bits that’s almost unparalleled. Thus, having a show like Tag It! where they get to tag, punch up, pitch alts, etc. with their favorite comedians is kind of perfect.
Next Thursday, on Nov. 7th 8PM, at Dynasty Typewriter, Jason and Randy Sklar will feature the comedy stylings of Jak Knight, Jessimae Peluso, Matt Braunger, Kyle Ayers, Jay Chandrasekhar, Rhea Butcher, and Ryan Sickler and then try to “tag up” their jokes, which their so damn good at.
Tickets are $15 right now ($20 on day of). Go get ‘em right now!
It has been a minute since the magic of Eliot Glazer’s Haunting Renditions has graced us all with beautiful arrangements of some of pop music’s more overplayed, overdone, bizarre earworms.
Fortunately, next week, Glazer will be back with Haunting Renditions at Dynasty Typewriter along with a pretty swell set of special podcast star guests (as you can see above), Georgia Hardstark and Danny Pellegrino.
We have a feeling that this thing might sell out, so you best get your tickets ($15 in adv., $20 day of) quick. Do so here.
Sarah Squirm and her Helltrap Nightmare gang (Scott Egleston, The Shrimp Boys-Luke Taylor, Wyatt Fair and David Brown) has charmed us for a number of years now (so much that she has made our 100 Best List in 2017 and 2018).
Her mastery of blending the grotesque and the comedic is something to behold (and so damn funny). Helltrap Nightmare became and stayed a cornerstone show for comedy that was “out there” in Chicago as you can read in a lovely farewell piece in the Chicago Tribune.
So, we’re thrilled to her that she’s making the move to LA and bringing all of Helltrap Nightmare with her, starting with a date at Dynasty Typewriter. Please go get your tickets now for $10 before they kick up to $15 on the day of.
Zach Sherwin is doing “it” yet again.
By “it”, we mean putting on a dazzling display of how linguistically masterful he is via having comedians solve a crossword puzzle live on stage that is superbly weaved into a theme with jokes, stories, etc. all throughout. It’s quite the spectacle to see especially if you’re wondering how solving a crossword can be a live show.
This edition, this Wed. Aug. 7th at Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth Theater, will feature Chris Garcia, Irene Tu, and a “special surprise solver”. Tickets are $10 right now and $15 on the day of. Please go get them here.
Also, if you can’t make it to this one, “it” (The Crossword Show with Zach Sherwin) will be happening monthly at Dynasty Typewriter for the rest of the year!
Jo Firestone is something special. Her daring to try some of the most ridiculous experiments while maintaining an unwavering air of vulnerability and sense of play make her a true joy to watch no matter if she’s doing a pun tournament, a mind bending game podcast, or her own stand-up.
So, you shouldn’t miss a chance to see her headline, which will be happening next month at Dynasty Typewriter. Tickets are $20 if you snag ‘em now! Do so here.
This brilliant play/solo show Happy Birthday Doug has Drew Droege as the titular character Doug, who is desperately trying to celebrate his 41st birthday amongst some “friends”. In fact, Drew plays Doug as well as all the other characters in a series of interconnected monologues that hilariously play off each other so well.
When we caught this, it was packed at Dynasty Typewriter, so you best get your tickets here for this latest performance, also at Dynasty Typewriter, on Tues. July 23rd at 8PM before they sell out again. Tickets are $20 now and $25 on the day of.
Few have captured the spirit of these times quite like Raphael Bob-Waksberg and the show he created BoJack Horseman. Raphael’s comedic sensibilities match up quite nicely with a certain existential frustration in the, if we may say, collective unconscious.
Anyways, that’s all to say that you should go to this book release event for his book Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory, a collection of stories about love, warts and all, at Dynasty Typewriter this Friday. Raphael will be live in person in conversation with Kara Brown and tickets plus a copy of the book are only $40 now (w/o book is $15).
Go get them here.
Normally dazzling the folks of NYC, Peter Smith and Sandy Honig (perhaps you’ve seen her as part of Three Busy Debras?) are bringing their comedy-striptease-music-variety extravaganza The Bongo Hour for a pop-in at Dynasty Typewriter along with Ben Moss and Bang Bang Luna.
See what we’ve been missing out on this coast (not to mention that you’ll get to enjoy the likes of John Early and Patti Harrison)
The Bongo Hour will be happening at 10PM on Fri., May 10th and tickets are $10 now and $15 on day of. Go get ‘em here (we hear they’re closing to selling out FYI).
The fantastic Josh Gondelman is about to release his third album (we hope you’d know about his other two albums and his writing at Last Week Tonight and Desus and Mero because it’s great) Dancing on a Weeknight. The record is a delight (we’ll tell you more about that when it comes out, but you can pre-order it here until then).
Come and indeed “dance (well, enjoy a comedy show while seated, then maybe dance afterwards?) on a weeknight” and celebrate this album release at Dynasty Typewriter! Please go get tickets here.
Any chance to get to see living comedy legend Janeane Garofalo is a treat and, as she so rarely comes through LA these days, this date at the Dynasty Typewriter really ought to not be missed.
Tickets are $23 and will probably sell out. Go get them here quick.
Next Saturday, you’ll get the chance to not only see The Lucas Bros. present a solid line-up of their favorite performers including Byron Bowers, Sasheer Zamata, and Rosebud Baker, but you’ll also get to see them run their new hour and let their pointed, but still chill (and also silly) comedic stylings delightfully wash over you.
Their hour, entitled A Will To Believe will be at Dynasty Typewriter near MacArthur Park.
Tickets are going for $20 at the door, but you can snag ‘em for $15 right now.

Once more, Eliot Glazer is gracing us with the most beautiful cover songs of what is considered to be the hot messes of the Billboard Top 100 this Friday. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which undoubtedly will likely make for a wonderful collection of the most over-the-top love songs and, on top of that, Glazer will be joined by Este Haim from the band Haim and D’Arcy Carden.
It will be a great night whether you’re pro- or anti-Valentine’s day and whether you’re with someone or not.

It’s only Jan. 2nd and 2019 already have a pretty great thing in store fo us all: The WorkJuice Players (if you aren’t familiar with the group by name or Thrilling Adventure Hour, you surely know one, if not many, of the names on this fantastic team) are saddling up again ever last Wednesday of the month to play Dynasty Typewriter.
You best get your tickets quick for their very first 2019 show.

OK, so the one and only Ilana Glazer from Broad City is playing Dynasty Typewriter for two nights. We feel like we don’t have to sell on this much harder than what we said above.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at door for both nights, Tues., Jan 8th and Wed., Jan. 9th, both at 8PM. Best get them quick as they will very likely sell out pretty fast.
