Pick of the Day: Secret Show at The Blind Barber (in LA) 7/26

July 21, 2021

LA has many a secret comedy show, but many don’t actually carry the name of “Secret Show” (and, if they do, they often aren’t worthy of the moniker). Yet, the actual Secret Show that has been happening for years at the barbershop-turned-speakeasy, The Blind Barber, is one of LA’s best underground stand-up comedy shows thanks to its stewards Grant Lyon, Andy Peters, Dave Waite, and Nick Anthony.

For obvious reasons, they had to take several months off, but they’re officially back for a COVID-19 free show (proof of vaccination or negative test results within 72 hours required at door) next week! On Mon. July 26th, The Secret Show at the Blind Barber crew will be putting on two shows, 7:30PM PT & 9:30PM PT.

You can and should RSVP for the show here, before tickets run out (and they usually do).

Their first line-up is stacked with

Beth Stelling – Netflix’s The Standups
Asif Ali – Marvel’s WandaVision
Andy Woodhull – Comedy Central Half Hour
Felicia Michaels – Showtime, MTV
Zainab Johnson – Last Comic Standing

As the show often sells out pretty quick, get on their mailing list at barbersecretshow@gmail.com and for their sister show in Highland Park at barbershowhp@gmail.com.

Since Grant Lyon’s Album Release Parties for “Scheduled Fun Time” Got Cancelled, He Made a Digital One

March 27, 2020

As everything involving people gathering got shut down a few weeks ago, performers of all kinds, set to put on shows on all throughout March and April, had to reconfigure everything and drastically dive into rescheduling, postponing, etc. When it comes to the prospect of releasing your new comedy album with accompanying live release shows, one might have to get pretty clever with how to go forward in these times.

Thus, Grant Lyon, who did indeed release a brand new stand-up comedy album Scheduled Fun Time this week, was unable to do the multiple album release shows that he intended to do right around now. Instead, he made a digital release party complete with a vast line-up of guests and some truly great stories about Grant, all stitched together from videos shot remotely and clips of their stand-up from the before times.

On Lyon’s release show are the likes of Cameron Esposito, Jake Weisman, Brent Weinbach, Dave Ross, Zach Sherwin, Shane Mauss, Ryan O’Flanagan, Dave Waite, Mitch Burrow, and so many more. We don’t all get to be a single venue to hear all of this together, but this still is quite the release show given the circumstances.

Please enjoy all 45 min. of Grant Lyon’s Album Release Party Show here.

Also, go get the aforementioned album Scheduled Fun Time by Grant Lyon that was the impetus for this digital release party. Lyon shows off his meticulous crafting of observational humor as well as having one of the best stories about being a comedian winning in court of all time. Get/listen to Scheduled Fun Time here.

How To Not Be An Audience Member at a Comedy Show

The very funny Grant Lyon recently performed to one of the worst audience members we’ve seen in a while. A low level professional wrestler kept heckling during the whole show, even though Grant seemed to have the room with him, which is already pretty bad. But, at one point, the guy came on stage and kneed Grant in the balls. Grant stood his ground, but the idea that he had to is absolutely ludicrous.

Watch the ordeal here.

If this is your idea of “helping out a show”, go make a web series with your camera to get your egregious need to feed your ego.

The very funny Grant Lyon performs comedy on the road quite a bit and, some of you might know, that provides a lot of time to kill, especially if you’re not in a big city. 

This set of circumstances has resulted in Grant creating a bizarrely fun web series Neal on the Road where he gives tips on going stir crazy while on the road.

We should mention that “Neal” is a traveling salesman and not a comedian.
