Comedy Crawl All Updated for Next Week
If you need a laugh somewhere in the greater LA area, we got you covered.
Follow That! pits comedians to the challenge of following a very emotional video being shown to the audience (i.e. troops coming home to the surprise of their family). Having any sort of very dramatic pause at a comedy show can prove very difficult, but the line-up with Chris Fairbanks, Nikki Glaser, Dan St. Germain, Nicole Byer, and Jon Huck for this show is pretty great. In any case, our curiosity is peaked as to see what might happen.
Tickets for Follow That! are $8 online and $10 at the door. You can (and should) tickets online here.

Poster by Barry Blankenship.
The duo of Kate Berlant and John Early with director Andrew DeYoung are a comedy power trio that needs to be on all of your radars.
Both Berlant and Early have already gotten to do works separately on Netflix’s Characters and DeYoung has directed both of them before in such fine work as Dinner Party.
Their latest collaboration will arrive in the form of a Vimeo on Demand mini-series of short films called 555. (the series’ focus on “a stark, humid, surreality of Hollywood,” probably suggests the 555 to be a reference to the three digit prefix that signifies a fake telephone number primarily used in movies and television.)
Get a delicious taste of what’s in store for 555 in this trailer, then you can buy (or pre-order) all five episodes for $3.99 at Vimeo on Tuesday, January 31st.
One of our favorite musical comedy acts (they made our best 100 list), The Cooties, have their first show of 2017 lined-up for this Saturday, January 14th at UCB Sunset at 10:30PM.

Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.
