We got to see this extremely fun show, Dungeon, awhile ago and it really has stand-up comedians taking the reins to a streamlined version of Dungeons & Dragons. More often than not, that means they play for what might be funnier rather than what’s prudent and wise on their quest.
John-Michael Bond hosts as a Dungeon Master and really blends stand-up and D&D almost seamlessly with this show. This latest edition this Sunday, July 30th will feature a great line-up of Jordan Temple, Kaseem Bentley, Jordan Doll, Barbara Gray and Christine Medrano.
Please get tickets here.

After recently transplanting to LA, we’ve very much enjoyed Megan Gailey’s presence on the scene. Megan is a fantastic stand-up, but she also brings the worlds of comedy, feminism, and sports together quite nicely as well.
In fact, she’s putting on an entire show, Good Sport with Megan Gailey, this Saturday, July 22nd at UCB Franklin at 10PM where she takes on the world of sports from her very unfiltered, yet charming perspective. Her guests for this inaugural show will be Anthony Jeselnik, Mike Lawrence and Kara Klenk.

The show that has comedians following the most heart wrenching videos on the Internet is back.
Follow That! really does play a video that is almost perfectly designed to make you cry and has stand-up comedians see what they can do immediately afterwards.
It may sound cruel and unusual, but, as far as we have seen thus far, it has been a hell of a good time.
Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at door. Get your advance tickets here.

Esteemed members of The Pack Theater pondered what it would be like if the beloved cartoon franchise Yogi Bear got the grim live action treatment.
They pondered so much that they came up with an actual screenplay called Jellystone and staged a live reading of their Yogi Bear movie that got so dark it became silly again.
They’re doing another live reading this Friday, July 7th at 9PM at The Pack Theater and you really ought to catch it before, perhaps, it actually gets made into a movie (or a faux trailer for a movie).
Admission is pay what you can and you can get more details here.

Scot Nery’s Boobie Trap, one of LA’s premier circus/variety/comedy shows for years is moving on up, literally, to Hollywood. For quite some time they were at Club Fais Do Do and they’re now making their new home at King King (6655 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA).
Starting next week on June 28th, Boobie Trap will start its weekly run at King King every Wednesday. You can get tickets in advance for $17 and at the door for $25.

If you’re into diving into seeing one of the shows at the Hollywood Fringe Festival going on right now, check out Lucia Brizzi’s Tony Robbins Netflix Special Special.
Basically, it’s an attempt at a self-help special by someone watched self-help magnate Tony Robbins, but clearly still needs help in their life. The result is a damn fun deconstruction of self-help that’s coming apart at its own seams.
They have one more engagement at the Hollywood Fringe this Saturday, June 24th at Three Clubs. Tickets are $12 and you can (and should) get them here.

Andy Daly has built a cavalcade of iconic characters throughout his comedy careers. Some of those characters are monstrous, but in a devilishly fun way.
So, Daly is doing a whole solo show Andy Daly: Monsters Take Your Questions where he takes questions as those very characters. We have no doubt Dalton Wilcox and Don DiMello fielding questions will be a hell of a good time.
Catch the show before it heads off to the Edinburgh Fringe this August. Tonight’s engagement is stand by only, but you can buy tickets for upcoming dates (Fri, Jun. 30th @ UCB Sunset 9:30PM and Thu. Jul. 6th @ UCB Franklin 9:30PM) at UCB here.
