Whether it’s through Three Busy Debras, her very own comedy, her works as a filmmaker, or her stunning photography portfolio, you really ought to know the name Sandy Honig if you don’t already. Honig is an endlessly innovative, creative voice and force that LA comedy is lucky to have these days.

Another reason to know her name just popped up with the introduction of her own evening of short films, SandyFest at Echo Park’s magical art and design book resource, Heavy Manners Library. It’ll be a very special, exclusive night of the absurd, the out-there, and the hysterical and captivating of short films, handpicked by Sandy, from many other original visionaries whose names you should know. That’ll include Phoebe Parsons, Philip Steiger, Graham Mason & Ike Ufomadu, Joe Pelling, Eytan Boclin & Liam Klinkenberg, Sarah Squirm, and, of course, Sandy Honig.

SandyFest is set for Thurs. Aug. 3rd with doors at 7PM. Pay what you can for admission and get more details here.

If you somehow don’t know where Frogtown is in LA, you best learn already. Not only is that the home to one of the LA comedy’s newest and brightest shining venues, The Elysian, but, as of this Friday, it’ll be the new neighborhood of Little Secret. Born in between the cracks of Netflix Valley in Hollywood, Little Secret is getting a bigger space that will be a little more free (which is kind of unbelievable if you’ve ever been to Little Secret before).

As part of setting foot in their new home, No Storage Productions will be premiering their new queer comedy short “Open Up” as well as throwing a marvelous little comedy show. The comedy stylings of Taylor Ortega, Rachel Pegram, Sarah Schauer, Madi Hart, and Rishi Mahesh will be on display all leading into the very first an afterparty at the new Little Secret.

Tickets are available for $5-$15 donation here or at the door. Get more info/tickets/etc. here.

Steven Feinartz (director of The Bitter Buddha and co-creator of Please Understand Me) and David Gborie (had one of our favorite sets on Conan, New Negroes, All Fantasy Everything, and upcoming half-hour special on and current voice of Comedy Central) are two people who we can’t wait to see whatever they’re up to whether it be live shows, short films, docs, etc. etc.

So, they wrote a short film together that Feinartz directed, The Lot, and they’re having an exclusive screening of it (along with a bangin’ stand-up show) next week that you absolutely shouldn’t miss.

Best of all, it’s FREE to attend.

Go RSVP for your tickets right here right now.
