News

The weird week between Christmas and NYE has begun and on top of there being little going on and the little that was going on getting canceled due to Omicron, one has to wonder if there’s any hope to bring into 2022.

Well, one thing you could do is bring hope to the hysterical Ever Mainard and their upcoming top surgery so they can fully realize themselves as the amazing non-binary person and splendid comedian that they are. They’ve got a massively stacked line-up for their The Tops! A Top Surgery Fundraiser for Ever Mainard slated for Fri. Jan. 7th at 8PM at The Elysian with the likes of:

  • Meg Stalter
  • Libbie Higgins
  • Nori Reed
  • Naomi Ekperigin
  • Solomon Georgio
  • Lindsay Adams
  • Danielle Perez
  • Silver Lake Icon, Tony Soto
  • Alysia Brown

Ever will be presiding over hosting duties and it should be a good time (fingers crossed that it still gets to happen). In any case, you should buy a ticket to support Ever (oh yeah, there will be a bake sale to boot) for $20 and you can do so right here right now.

Pick of the Day: Incel Fest (in LA) 10/16
October 14, 2021
News
comedy show, la comedy, los angeles

So much of live comedy right now has been stand-up comedy, primarily as it was one of the easier types of live performance to pull in regards to COVID-19. That said, for much of the time that stand-up comedy has been inching its way back, there’s a lot of amazing improv, sketch, character folks that has been hanging in limbo.

Thankfully, with vaccination mandates in place, there’s a bit more of a window to do more sorts of comedy including some of the stranger, hysterical, category-defying things as will very likely be done at this weekend’s Incel Fest in Hollywood.

Ryan Asher & Jordan Cohen are assembling a lot of LAs funniest, best weirdos for a “demented night” of comedy (where, in truth, there will probably be zero incels and mostly just ingenious bits and characters). Still, Mike O’Brien, Scott Egleston, Annie Paradis, Annie Weis, Danny Sellers, Sam Walt Jones, and System of a Dong should make Incel Fest a night seared into your brain for how wild (and hilarious) it will be.

Incel Fest is happening at the theater space at  1312 N. Wilton this Sat. Oct. 16th at 7:30PM PT. Tickets are $15 and we think you better go snag yours fast.

  • Byron Bowers
  • Clown Zoo

Also, TCB’s founder and director (and so many other things) Jake Kroeger will be serving as host.

LA’s Getting a Nice, Extremely Cozy New Venue in “The Glendale Room”
October 7, 2021
News
event space, glendale, glendale room, la comedy

It’s no secret that the pandemic has ravaged live comedy in all of its facets. Performers, audiences, people who work in comedy, and, especially, venues. Many clubs and theaters have either closed or haven’t reopened in the last year and a half and a change.

Yet, as a volcano scorches the earth, it enriches the soil leaving fertile ground for something new.

Thus, LA has already opened a whole wave of new comedy and comedy adjacent venues such as Permanent Records Roadhouse and The Comedy Nook and is poised to open even more. The latest addition to the scene will be The Glendale Room located just around the corner from Downtown Glendale.

Sean Casey, who also is a crucial cog in the Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica, obtained a shipping container full of so many books and opt to use them as decor for what might instantly be one of LA’s coziest comedy venues. If there were a perfect venue for a live taping of Paul F. Tompkins’ old podcast, Dead Authors, this would be it. It’s set to seat just under 50, but has wiggle room with some creative seating and is looking to be a space for all corners of comedy (and others). Take a bit of gander of the space @theglendaleroom on IG.

If you’d like to see the space for yourself, head onto Glendale (which should be pretty easy if you’re on the Eastside) this Saturday, Oct. 9th at 4PM PT for the “softest” opening (that’ll happen to have free Topo Chico).

Get more details and info at theglendaleroom.com.

The Glendale Room is at 127 Artsakh Ave, Glendale CA 91206.

Whenever Open Mike Eagle dips into the world of comedy, it’s a damn good time. There has been New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and him, which hopped all around LA before it became a Comedy Central series.

Next week, he’s going to, after all of however interminably long you feel this time has been, put another music/comedy show, this time at El Cid called Hybrid (presented by Smarty Plants). Per usual, Eagle has a fantastic line-up of LA comedy’s finest (this one will have Jesus Trejo, Marcella Arguello, Jak Knight, and Megan Gailey) and his very own cutting edge rap along with a performance from Abstract Rude.

As the flyer says that Mike Eagle is “masterminding” this event, you ought to know that if you’re anywhere near Silverlake on Thurs. Oct. 14th at 7PM PT, you ought to take that big ol’ staircase down to El Cid.

Daniel Simonsen only comes through LA only every so often, but you shouldn’t miss one of the most original and unique voices in comedy right now whenever you can see it. Not only is Simonsen’s actual physical voice unique as he hails from Norway, but the angles in which Daniel takes to approach his comedy are also singular to him in such thoroughly funny way. There’s something so starkly dry and atypical about his delivery and cadence and that’s just skimming the surface of why and how he’s so damn funny.

Daniel is set to headline Dynasty Typewriter this week on Thurs. Oct. 7th at 8PM. Tickets are $20 right now and $25 on the day of (proof of vaccination required). Go get your tickets right now.

Even though it has been years since we’ve starting going and marveling at The Crossword Show with Zach Sherwin and its wizardry with words, it’s still remains as one of the most amazing feats of verbal gymnastics that we’ve ever seen in our whole tenure at TCB.

For the uninitiated, Sherwin has excellent comedians on a panel try to solve a very, very fun crossword on stage (along with the audience) and then offers truly mind-bending explanations for the answers and connections to other answers/hints. It’s one of the most enjoyable rides down a rabbit hole that we’ve had at a live show.

Sherwin is gearing up for four editions of The Crossword Show at Dynasty Typewriter this coming October on Wednesdays (10/6, 10/13, 10/20, & 10/27 all at 7:30PM PT). Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of (proof of vaccination required). Please go get your tickets right now right here.

Slowly, but surely (as much as the pandemic will allow), some of our favorite shows from the before times are coming back in LA.

Many Friday nights, you could have found us at the back of a private room at Desano Pizza in East Hollywood for the fantastic weekly comedy show known as Sauce. It was nice, neatly packed show that had some of the best stand-ups in LA and some out-of-left-field bits that were the perfect cherry on top for that slice of the evening.

Thankfully, it’s back with most of its original crew, Babs Gray, Erin Lampart, and Brodie Reed and they’ve relocated to both Silverlake Lounge and a Tuesday night. Their first show back since lockdown is set for Tues. Sept. 28th at 9PM PT and admission is free (proof of vaccination required). Per usual, they have a killer line-up  for this edition of Sauce with Katrina Davis, James Fritz, Kyle Mizono & Anna Seregina, and Steve Hernandez.

Hampton Yount is in that class of comedians that you should catch any time that they’re going up as Yount’s blend of satire and silliness is a pure joy to watch. So, a special evening presented and curated by them at the wondrous Dynasty Typewriter this Saturday would be, of course, a do-not-miss sort of happening.

On top of that, this Saturday is 9/11 AKA Patriot Day AKA the 20th Anniversary of Sept. 11th, 2001 and, for our money, one of the better purveyors of 9/11 jokes, for several years now, has been Hampton Yount. If you’re already going to a comedy show on 9/11, you best make it this one then. Also, the wondrous comedy stylings of Joe Kwaczala, Robin Tran, Jonah Ray, Alana Johnston, and Norm Sousa will be featured as well.

There is a vast new landscape to comedy as things may or may not continue to open up for live comedy here in the U.S. and across the world. Navigating this new world of comedy is, it would seem, as daunting as starting over, which is why we talk to LA staple Kelly McInerney about how she is figuring her way through a scene she already knew (and possibly looking across the pond to the UK for more opportunity). She’s also reviewed movies while stoned on the podcast she co-hosts, IMDWeed, leading to what movies they’ve missed out on watching high (2001: A Space Odyssey?!?). Finally, “hot” takes on Ms. Pat getting an hour special, What We Do in the Shadows’ After the Shadows, Steve Harvey getting his own court show.

We sincerely, sincerely hope that you’ve seen Rory Scovel: Live Without Fear, the amazing documentary comedy special that captured the very special lightning in a bottle that comes with so many Scovel performances, especially if he’s improvising the whole thing.

If you haven’t, we then hope you’ve at least caught some of Rory mixing whimsy and complete honesty in the moment in person over the last several years. For us, watching Rory is always something revelatory and hysterical and we very much don’t miss any chance we have to go watch him live.

With that in mind, Rory will be doing a very special, exclusive, improvised stand-up performance at Largo at the Coronet Theatre on Mon. Sept. 20th at 8PM PT. In case it wasn’t clear already, clear out that night and make sure you go to this. Tickets are $46 (includes service charge) and you best go get them here before they sell out.

While stand-up comedy is very much back in Los Angeles, other forms of comedy have quite yet returned with such fervor to the LA comedy scene. Improv and sketch and other delightful comedy oddities are scarce compared to the plethora of shows that happened pre-lockdown.

Also, live comedy at the midnight hour wasn’t the biggest thing in LA, but there were always a few things you could count on. That too is very, very hard to find these days.

Fortunately, there has been a magical late night oasis of coloring-outside-the-lines comedy every Friday night at an adorably tiny backyard in Highland Park. Merry Goodnight is the sort of loosey goosey fever dream of a live comedy show that you’d be looking for at midnight on Fridays (especially because they absolutely don’t allow stand-up on their show). The unfiltered silliness of Grace Freud, Steven Kreager, Andrew Friedman, and Kate McCarthy pervade the midnight hour along with special guests from in and around LA to do that sort of wild comedy you’d only see past 11PM at UCB or on The Tomorrow Show or at Lyric Hyperion in general.

It’s free to attend, so long as you have your proof of vaccination and, with all of that in mind, you better get yourself to 6166 York Blvd. on this Friday night and every Friday night going forward. Get more info/details here.

Both Jamel Johnson and Megan Gailey have been, time and time again, an uncompromising delight to watch the numerous times that we’ve seen them go up, both in and around LA and on Conan. Essentially, you will be charmed by them and they will hysterically not let up until that happens (in the best way possible, of course).

So, it’ll be quite a night at Dynasty Typewriter next month when Jamel and Megan co-headline. Sure, we’ve seen them on plenty of line-ups together, but never just as the main attractions as they will be on Fri. Sept. 10th at 8PM PT.

Though it has been a bit of time since Jigsaw, the mark of Daniel Sloss‘ special is still indelible. When it comes to stand-up comedy dealing with relationships, perhaps the most well-trodden territory in comedy, Sloss special was not only enjoyed by millions, but inspired many of those folks to take more stock in themselves, their lives, and what they want out of a relationship.

Naturally, we can’t wait to see what Sloss has to serve up next, especially with everything the world has been through and continues to go through at every waking moment of this time. Luckily, he is set on his Hubris tour that is currently working its way through the world and has dates scheduled through spring 2022.

For New Yorkers and Angelenos, Sloss will be coming in with this highly anticipated tour on Fri. Oct. 15th at NYC’s Beacon Theatre and on Wed. Nov. 10th at LA’s Orpheum Theatre. Tickets start at $49 and proof of vaccination will be required. Best go get your tickets now here.

One of the very last shows that we watched before lockdown was a fantastic live edition of the splendid podcast Lady to Lady with venerable hosts Babs Gray, Brandie Posey, and Tess Barker. Per usual, it was a wild variety of some of LA’s best stand-up (Maria Bamford happened to be on that show), crazy games, live music, and their resident hunk, Ryan Nemeth.

Thankfully, on this side of the pandemic, Lady to Lady is returning to the stage, this time on the charming patio of Permanent Records Roadhouse, one of LA comedy’s newest, shiniest venues. Babs, Brandie, and Tess’ first time back since before lockdown is set for Sun. Sept. 5th and will go monthly on the first Sunday of the month with doors at 7PM PT.

We can remember the last Neil Hamburger and Special Guests that we went to so vividly. It was the end of 2019 and we were at the then-still-alive Satellite in Silverlake and so many of us didn’t know or didn’t want to admit what was coming, so we were just gathering indoors without thinking there was anything really wrong.

Thus, we got to enjoy one of LA’s longest standing residencies by a comedian, Neil Hamburger, trash various musicians while coughing hoarsely and holding way too many rocks glasses as we have gotten to do for years and years and years.

The Satellite LA is no more and, because of COVID-19, there hasn’t been a top-billed Neil Hamburger show in so many, many months. However, that’s changing as The Neil Hamburger Event is set to take over Zebulon come Sun. Sept. 26th at 8PM PT. You really ought to snag your tickets now (and hopefully nothing has to get rescheduled because of the Delta variant). They’re $14.76 and you can get ’em here.

One of the most riveting, darkest, yet, still so marvelously funny solo shows we’ve seen in our time is, without a doubt, Jennette McCurdy‘s I’m Glad My Mom Died about “…how her mom’s death went from being the worst thing that ever happened to her to the best thing.” McCurdy’s showbiz career was covered in the pall of her mother’s omnipresence, which Jennette uses to set the perfect stage for the thesis of the show.

The uncompromising vulnerability and catharsis from McCurdy’s stories in this hour accented with very clever production still sticks with us fondly to this day from a few years ago (or maybe eons depending on what the pandemic has done to your sense of time). In fact, this very well might be one of the most cathartic shows you’ll see that has nothing to do with COVID.

She’s going to do a run of I’m Glad My Mom Died at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood for vaccinated audiences on Fridays & Saturdays from Sept. 3rd-Sept. 25th at 8PM PT. Tickets for opening weekend are $17.50 and then $22.50 after that. Please go get tickets for one of those dates ASAP.

Thursdays had always been a pretty stacked day for comedy in LA. Pre-lockdown, there were so many really, really good weekly shows of all ilks of comedy to choose from, many of which happened around the 8 o’clock hr.

Many a time, we’d find ourselves at the gorgeous set-up that is Peacock @ Club Tee Gee that had a very nice and tight stand-up show at 8PM. Thankfully, Club Tee Gee, in the heart of Atwater Village, has survived to this side of the pandemic (and is also requiring proof of vaccination to enter) and that very same lovely weekly comedy show, produced by Ali Hart and Becca Rufer, is set to return, this time with two hosts in Kiran Deol and newly minted co-host Danny Jolles. For plenty of reasons that you should go see yourself, we have a good feeling about this hosting pair.

The weekly return of Peacock starts Aug. 26th at 8PM PT. If you dig the show, there’s a $10 suggested donation, but, as long as you’re vaccinated, you can enjoy the show on a shoestring budget. Keep up to date with all things Peacock @peacockshowla on IG.

While many comedy shows offer more than just the comedy, it’s not often that you’d be able to get headshots/some very nice photos of yourself in addition to a live comedy show. In fact, we’d say that it almost never has happened in our decade plus tenure at The Comedy Bureau.

Though you might have seen a lot of shows get postponed or outright cancelled this week in LA due to the rise in COVID-19 cases (and breakthrough infections of fully vaccinated people), there is plenty of stuff to look forward to next month as LA’s wide swath of shows continue to return, step-by-step.

One of the latest shows to announce its return is Arts & Crafts Comedy, which has delightfully been marrying the visual arts with stand-up comedy for years around LA. Hosts Nick Skardarasy and Jon Zucker set a splendid tone for the evening where stand-ups will get some sort of artistic interpretation of their stand-up in a drawing, sculpture, artistic creation of some kind from an esteemed artist.

This first show back since lockdown will feature seasoned illustrator Charlie Hankin (half of the great sketch group Good Cop Great Cop) who has gotten plenty of work featured in The New Yorker. Hankin will be making art inspired a lovely handful of great stand-ups (Laurie Kilmartin, Will Miles, Ever Mainard, Langston Kerman, Savannah Manhattan, and Mike Mulloy).

The first of Arts & Crafts Comedy of 2021 is set for Sun. Aug. 22nd at 8PM PT at Rita House. Tickets are $10 and you can (and very much should) get them here.
