Running an indie show here in LA from a non-traditional venue is hard enough to do and pulling it off for a year is definitely impressive.

So, give some love to The Frogtown Show celebrating their one year anniversary of offering live comedy under the lovely LA sky and in the back patio of a great vintage store, The Left Bank.

Also, the line-up is pretty damn solid. Get more details here.

One of our favorite shows, Underbelly, is returning as it has found yet another new home in The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe. It’s one of our favorite shows to see because it pushes stand-up comedians to perform everything but stand-up.

This latest edition will include:
Scott Thompson
Marlena Rodriguez
Josh Fadem
Drennon Davis
Emily Maya Mills
& more!
With hosts Ryan Singer and Chris Garcia

Pretty swell, huh?

Jo Firestone
Solomon Georgio
Casey James Salengo
Sam Jay
Josh Johnson
Joel Kim Booster
Lashonda Lester
Chris Redd
Yamaneika Saunders
Julio Torres
Shane Torres

Those are the 14 names that will get to do a half hour Comedy Central special that will be now called “Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents” later this Fall. If you take a closer look, this might be CC’s best, most diverse half-hour line-up yet (i.e. it’s mostly fantastic comics that aren’t straight white guys)

Kind of harkens back to the days of when Comedy Central had “Comedy Central Presents”, doesn’t it?

The tapings will take place next month, Wednesday, April 19th-Saturday, April 22nd, in New Orleans at The Civic Theatre. You can get free tickets here.

One of the best and most unique storytelling shows around is coming around again. 

We Still Like You features stories from funny people where they are definitely not the hero. There’s live illustration and, at the end, the audience gets to cathartically exclaim “WE STILL LIKE YOU!” Also, it’s in the intimate setting of someone’s house.

It’s happening this Saturday with a fun line-up of recent LA transplant comedians. Doors are at 9:30PM and you can get more details here.

It will be the very first Video Game Show at The Pack Theater in Hollywood and admission is just pay what you can. Get more details here.

Netflix has nabbed several golden geese with lining-up comedy specials from Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Louis CK, Amy Schumer, and Jerry Seinfeld. 

That doesn’t mean they want to do comedy specials with some of comedy’s best rising stars. 

So, with that in mind, they’ve gathered Nikki Glaser, Deon Cole, Beth Stelling, Fortune Feimster, and Dan Soder for half hour comedy specials, which is the next logical step for Netflix’s ever expanding stand-up and comedy empire.

If you’re in LA on Tuesday, February 28th and/or Wednesday, March 1st you can go the tapings at Cicada Restaurant in DTLA. RSVP for tickets here.

One of the longest running indie comedy shows in LA, Blam!Blam!Blam! is celebrating a whole decade run. Most comedy shows, no matter if they’re in a club, theater, house, or the back room of some business don’t make it to anywhere near double digits. Blam pushes on where few comedy shows ever get to go. 

The Blam!Blam!Blam! 10 Year Anniversary will be held on Valentine’s Day at its home at R-Bar in K-Town making for a great alternative to doing anything that a corporate mandated holiday would have you do. Also, admission is free. Get more details here.
