The winds of change seem to have quite the mean bite to them these days. Whether it be SCOTUS, inflation, mass shootings, etc., it feels like a world that needs more of everyone trying to take care of one another.

One small thing you could do for community (as well as yourself) is going to a very, very special fundraiser music and comedy variety show for South Central Farmers Co-Op‘s Farm2Power. Not only will it be a very fun hip evening of amazing LA-sourced comedy and music at the splendid, all-inclusive arts space, Junior High, but it will be a night supporting a crucial LA org that gives free produce to those in need in the Greater LA area.

Thus far, they’ve got a fantastic line-up including LA comedy luminaries Danielle Perez, Joel Kim Booster, Demi Adejuyigbe, and Ellory Smith as well as sweet sounds from Adjenai, Rosie Tucker, and Amber & Max of Moonchild.

Root for Farm2Power is set for Fri. Jul. 21st with doors at 7PM. Tickets are only $10 and you can (and very much should) get them here.

If you’re in LA today, you might look outside and recognize the sort stereotypical intermittent, inconsequential rain that we’re accustomed to. Hopefully, that’s a sign that we’re past the torrential downpour of this past winter and we can back to our regularly scheduled programming of being able to do fun stuff outside at all times.

One such thing we’re looking forward to is one of our favorite underground venues, Little Secret, bringing back their curated flagship show, Little Secret Presents, that’s an astounding stand-up variety show in a hip backyard with the power of community organizations uniting like minded folks for great causes.

This first post-winter Little Secret Presents is a doozy with a line-up for Fri. May 12th at 8PM sporting Jon Daly, Bug Mane, Ellory Smith, and Desus Nice (yes, formerly of Desus & Mero)just to name a few. The LA Tenants Union will be coming through and voicing crucial issues regarding one of LA’s biggest and most critical issues, housing. Per usual, there will be a slick afterparty with DJs and cutting rugs.

Tickets are only $14 right now (and $18 on day of). Go get tickets for the early bird nice price here.
