OK, there’s nothing complicated here about Memories with Liza Treyger.

Truly, some of the best comedians in the entire country (that you need to know if you don’t already) are going to share some stories because we all can’t help but reminisce of our lives and times back in February while still in lockdown in June. As it’s the likes of comedians Liza Treyger, Kenny DeForest, Clark Jones, Drew Anderson, Megan Gailey, Kara Klenk, Sydney Washington, Marie Faustin, and Aminah Imani sharing stories, their tales really ought to be something to relish.

Also, partial proceeds will go to benefitting the Food Bank for NYC.

Memories with Liza Treyger is set for Thurs. Jun. 18th at 4PM PT/7PM ET.

Better Half with Jared Logan and Kara Klenk were the successors to LA’s beloved, long-running Thursday stand-up show The Josh & Josh Show. They opted to relocate to a different day and a different part of town, but we’re happy that they’re back as Jared and Kara are probably one of the funniest comedian power couples that we know.

The new Better Half will now happen on Tuesday’s at Echo Park’s dark, chic (and even a little sexy?) Bar Bandini. This first line-up for their new night/venue is pretty stellar (as was always the case with Better Half).

Swing on by to Bar Bandini next Tuesday for this new Better Half and keep up to date with line-ups here.

Over the course of several years, Kara Klenk has honed her great comedy chops both in NYC and LA and subsequently became beloved in both scenes.

The energy of the two scenes are undoubtedly present in this album Undefeated as Kara presents a tight hour of personal observations and stories that pack plenty of punch, but also flow beautifully with nuance (as well as go down some weirdly specific and fun rabbit holes). Also, Kara is so self assured in her delivery, you do truly feel like your hanging with one of your funniest friends (but one who is naturally so as opposed to one who tries really hard to “be on” all the time).

Undefeated is her debut album, fresh off the presses from AST Records. You can (and very much should) get it on iTunes or on CD now.

We’ve got a good feeling that this show, The Professionals*, will be kind of like Tough Crowd with a modern twist (a thing we’ve been wishing would happen for awhile). Whether the comedians on the panel end up pulling off sounding like professionals outside of their areas of expertise or not, it’s an amazing line-up worthy of going to see do pretty much anything (we mean, just look at it).

Tickets are $5 in advance and $8 at the door. Go get them quick here.

Taking the baton from the legendary Josh & Josh Show every Thursday at 8 at Bar Lubitsch will be the fantastic pairing of comedy power couple Jared Logan and Kara Klenk under the newly minted banner of Better Half.

Both are fantastic stand-ups in their own right and we have no doubt in our minds that they’ll keep the streak of great comedy that Josh & Josh started 10 years ago alive. Definitely, this first line-up is pretty damn great.

Don’t miss this show this inaugural show this Thursday and every Thursday after.

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.

Tickets are $12 and you can (and really 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.
