Blending a show and semi-fictional parties together, CleftClips’ Toasty allows comedians to give the toasts that they have always dreamed of. It’s one of our all time favorite shows and the line-up for the latest edition, as you can see above, is stellar.
Tickets are $20 (the venue is small, so they will be limited and you should get them sooner rather than later), and cocktail attire is required.

The Bitch Seat, hosted by Lyssa Mandel, is a very entertaining version of show and tell that features comedians who probably never thought that they would have to do show and tell again, much less with things that possibly make them cringe about their childhood.

A unifying bond of comedians is the painful, cringeworthy start that they all had. Giulia Rozzi’s show First Set gathers comedians that are very funny and revisits those beginnings as well as contrasts it with honed, well-crafted comedy that they currently do.

Baron Vaughn, Ramon Rivas, Melissa McQueen, and Jade Catta-Preta will be showcasing their comedy “then vs. now” next Monday at UCB Sunset.
Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.

Watching comedians perform, you might think that they’re such succinct observers of the world around them that probably know a little more than just a thing or two.
This new show “Experts” (Note: the quotation marks are intentionally part of the title and suggest an air of sarcasm) will put comedians and their knowledge to the test via a completely factual multimedia presentation on a topic.
This first show has an amazing line-up that could make anything they talk about entertaining, but will focus in on a topic they feel that they’re an “expert” in. With Guy Branum, we’d guess it be Canada.
“Experts” will kick off next week at UCB Sunset. Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.
