In order to be a more benevolent benevolent bureau, we’ve decided to make our MANDATORY HOLIDAY OFFICE PARTY a free event, which means you have zero excuses for not fulfilling your mandatory attendance.
Also, there will be free gift pens as you can see below (while supplies last-though we did order hundreds of them) for all of your hard work this year!
All you have to do is RSVP here and then come and have a good time (because you’re required to do so).
In addition to seeing baked line-up of comedians that are already pretty great (Maggie Maye, Jordan Doll, Brian Moses, and Jamie Loftus), you’ll get to see this show at the brand new Echoes on Pico as well.
This edition of the The Gateway Show will happen on Saturday, December 16th at 9PM. Tickets are $5-$15 in advance and $10-$20 at door. Get advanced tickets and more details here.

We’ve got shows coming up and you should come to them.
Well, actually, it’s MANDATORY that you attend one of them (though, we promise it will be “fun”).
The other has free Prufrock Pizza and a nice, neat handful of our favorite performers. Also, it’s FREE.
It is the holidays. As such, we will be marking the occasion, with no particular favoritism towards any specific holiday, for all The Comedy Bureau faithful.
So, Deep Eddy Vodka, DoLA and TCB present a MANDATORY HOLIDAY OFFICE PARTY full of non-denominational, non-partisan “fun”. You will look forward to enjoying performances by Rory Scovel, Kyle Kinane, Andrés du Bouchet, Jamie Loftus, The Wheel Show, and TCB’s own Jake Kroeger.
*We also have required for this event to have free popcorn
Deep Eddy Vodka will be presenting a curated menu of cocktails to ensure a “good time” will be had.
Tickets are only $5 and you can (and need to) get them here.

Well, this was one of the most original, innovative, unbelievable things that we saw all year long. Somehow Jamie Loftus manages to be as vulnerable, open, and honest as she is hysterically absurd about when she lost her virginity.
Do not miss these next two performances of i lost my virginity on august 15 2010: an anniversary show in 7 acts. Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.

Though Halloween will be over, you can keep the spirit alive with Chicago’s own Helltrap Nightmare, a surrealist, horror comedy show (seemingly in the same oozing vein of The Heart, She Holler) coming to the Lyric Hyperion next month.
Also, it might be a perfect night for the show as it’ll be exactly a year to the day after, well, you know, the 2016 election was over.
The line-up includes:
-host Sarah Squirm, The Shrimp Boys, and Scott Egleston, all from Chicago
-Ruby McCollister from NYC
-LA’s own Jamie Loftus, Bruce Bundy, and Lyra Hill.
Tickets are $10 and you can (and should, if you dare) get them here.
The Rainbow Brainskull Hour, the creation of comedian, artist, and multimedia hyphenate Ramin Nazer, is an indie comedy show truly suited to its home in an neighborhood comic book store. It’s a great stand-up comedy show paired with phosphorescent magic and animation conjured up by Nazer himself.
The next edition of The Rainbow Brainskull Hour is set for Saturday, September 30th at 9:30PM (sharp) at Alternate Universe (1498 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA). Admission is free. Get more details here.

Comedy Sucks, the comedy variety show that features satirical video art work by the one and only Grimy Ghost, is celebrating one year! Other contemporaries of Grimy Ghost, Everything Is Terrible and Vic Berger will also be there giving you as much repurposed, mutated pop-culture mash-ups as you can handle in addition to the great comedy stylings of Todd Glass, Brody Stevens, Howard Kremer, Jamie Loftus, and Brodie Reed.
Tickets are on sale here, but we’ve got a pair of tickets that you could win if you enter here: http://thecomedybureau.dola.com/giveaways
Unless you’re going to do a living funeral, you’re never going to get the opportunity to hear your own eulogy.

If you love absurdist, experimental comedy, please commit the name Jamie Loftus to memory (we’ve suggested doing this on a number of occasions as we find Jamie to be hysterical).
You can see why we love Jamie with her latest endeavor that mixes ballet, conspiracy theory, President Ronald Reagan, and choose your own adventure all into one event that will be livestreamed.
We’ll actually let Jamie further explain “Swan Lake Live! (from a Locked Basement)”:
The premise of the show goes: it is March 30, 1981, the day of Reagan’s assassination attempt, and I play a ballerina/government spy named um Jamie Loftus which is my name and my associate Gary and I come to in a locked basement that is slowly filling with gas from a stove full of ham upstairs. Suspecting that our employer, the president, may be in danger, we are tasked with escaping the basement and saving Ronald Reagan (who is a shitty president but we don’t know that yet it’s only 1981 keep up) while still performing Swan Lake in its entirety.
WHY WE NEED YOU: Because this is a livestream, I’m introducing several choose-your-own-adventure style choices in the show, including whether I should do a complicated ballet dance in a Ronald Reagan mask or whether I should buttchug a bottle of milk after punching through a pinata I made of Jodie Foster’s head.
THERE WILL BE: five dances to Swan Lake, five choices for the audience, three original cartoons from me Jamie, two miserable ballerina ingenues trapped in a basement that is slowly filling with gas, two costume changes I have to do live on camera and only one chance to see it live.
Also, my boyfriend is a young man named John Hinckley Junior, a man who you may not have heard of as of March 30, 1981 but who I think has the potential to really make something of himself.
Pretty great, right?
You can get more details about Swan Lake Live! (From a Locked Basement) here and livestream it on JASH tomorrow at 12PM PST-3PMPST.
Just like millions of other people are doing and will be doing, comedy will be doing its part to keep as many vulnerable people safe as possible. This Hell Toupee: An ACLU Benefit, which should be a hell of a show too (in the colloquial-good-way), is just the start of that.

Awful curated VHS footage plus stand-up comedians attempt to prove the shows title wrong. With that line-up, the odds are in their favor we think.
You can and should get your tickets here.
