Pick of the Day: Kumail Nanjiani is Doing This Again (in LA) 10/3
September 18, 2023
News
kumail nanjiani, largo, los angeles comedy, stand up comedy

It has been seemingly an eon and a half has passed since hundreds of folks would gather at the back of Meltdown Comics to see Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani helm one of the best weekly comedy shows in the country. While the physical space that housed The Meltdown with Jonah & Kumail is now slated to be another overpriced apartment building in LA, we’re over the moon to see Kumail’s return to stand-up comedy after becoming a legitimate movie star.

You’ve might have seen Kumail in and around LA popping up as a special guest, but he’s taking over a whole night at Largo at the Coronet (a short drive from Sunset x Gardner) on Tues. Oct. 3rd. The show was just announced today and bound to sell out. So, get your tix at $46 a pop here quick.

Pick of the Day: James Austin Johnson: The Age of JAJ (in LA) 7/29
June 21, 2023
News
james austin johnson, largo, los angeles comedy, stand up comedy

We remember James Austin Johnson, now a Saturday Night Live star, once went up at an open mic we used to host in Little Tokyo, eons ago, and crooned out Eagles songs done in full-on Scottish accent to raucous laughter. That was the very first time we saw him and, even then, we had a pretty good idea that he’d end up where he is now from just that set (and the same goes for pretty much every subsequent set we saw after that).

Having multiple seasons under his belt, JAJ is far from that open mic in a Mexican bar and restaurant that’s now a Metro LA station and on to touring all around the globe. Fortunately, one of those stops is back here in LA at none other than the venerable Largo at the Coronet Theatre.

Indeed, JAJ will stop at Largo for his Age of JAJ tour on Sat. Jul. 29th at 8PM. You can (and should) go get your tickets now for $46 a pop here.

 

Pick of the Day: Kyle Kinane (in LA & NYC) 2/10 & 5/4

News
bell house, kyle kinane, la comedy, largo, nyc comedy, stand up comedy

In the midst of the far off time of quarantine, the brilliant comedic mind that is Kyle Kinane uprooted from his long time home of LA and headed on up to Oregon. Thus, in LA, we were unfortunately no longer gifted the chance of regularly seeing Kinane comedically explore the existential nature of whatever he happened to be going through at the time and doing so in an unbelievably colorful, almost poetic way.

As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder and any chance to seeing Kyle will be even more special these days.

Such days are indeed coming up for both LA and NYC as Kyle will be playing the hallowed stages of Largo in LA and Bell House in Brooklyn in the coming months. Kyle’s Largo date appears to be sold out, but you can chance stand-by tickets on the night of or check Largo’s site over and over to see if they added tickets. The 7:30PM-Thurs. May 4th date at The Bell House has tickets available at $40.87 a pop. Definitely go get them before they sell out here.

 

Pick of the Day: Hannah Einbinder & Friends (in LA) 10/30
October 14, 2022
News
coronet theater, hacks, hannah einbinder, la comedy, largo, stand up comedy

Doing your own “& Friends” show at Largo at the Coronet Theatre, not unlike getting your name on the wall of The Comedy Store, is one of the highest echelons you can get in the vast LA comedy scene. It’s rarefied air especially since Largo doesn’t run 7 nights a week or maintain any sort of farm system for people to work your way up. You just have to be good enough for Flanagan to hear of you on top of raising your own profile pretty high in comedy and then fit into the rustic, revered auditorium on La Cienega.

With all of that in mind, Hannah Einbinder is about to have her very first “& friends” at show at Largo as she has had a trailblazing last few years between her own stand-up and the award winning darling that is Hacks. Einbinder heartily worked her through the LA scene own her myriad of conceptual bits and very introspective observations and it’s truly something special to see her graduate to one of LA’s most sought after stages for comedians.

So, go put down $46 here to see her Largo “& Friends” debut on Sun. Oct. 30th at 8PM PT.

 

Pick of the Day: Cameron Esposito Works Out (in LA) 7/13
July 8, 2022
News
cameron esposito, largo, los angeles comedy, stand up comedy

Since Cameron Esposito moved to LA several years ago via Chicago, they’ve been one of our favorite folks to watch and, for our money, a crucial voice in comedy at large. Her unflinching vulnerability and masterful storytelling and joke writing stick with us any time we see them on stage. When it comes to the pressing issues of our time, Cameron is one of the first comedians that we really want to hear weigh in.

Thus, if you have a chance to see Cameron do an hour of stand-up, please take it immediately. For LA folks, you’re in luck as they’re working out a new hour, hence Cameron Esposito Works Out, at Largo at the Coronet Theatre next week on Jul. 8th at 8:30PM PT. Tickets are $46 (including fees) and you can (and very much should) go get your tickets here.

It’s quite simple. It’s a grand line-up of comedy here in LA featuring the likes of Mae Martin, Nori Reed, Naomi Ekperigin, Solomon Georgio, Joel Kim Booster, and host Sabrina Jalees and one of the bigger tickets that has its proceeds going to abortion access.

Specifically, Sabrina and company will be performing in support of the National Network of Abortion Funds that will provide whatever they can to women who will be losing access to legal and safe abortions in the way-too-near future. This crucial show is happening on Tues. Jul. 19th at 8:30PM PT and one of LA comedy’s crown jewels, Largo at the Coronet Theatre.

Tickets are $46 (and that’s plenty going to NNAF) and you really need to go get your tickets here.

Of course, Alison Leiby didn’t know that her acclaimed solo show that gets into the humanity of her experience with abortion, “Oh God, A Show About Abortion”, would just happen to coincide with the current Supreme Court guaranteeing themselves on being on the wrong side of history by overturning Roe vs. Wade, yet, here we are.

Ever since we saw Megan Stalter take the stage at Genghis Cohen all those years ago, we knew that there were plenty of dates destined for her on bigger, brighter, and more renowned stages ahead. Thanks a lot COVID for making that wait a lot longer.

Now, Meg is going to have a night all to herself and however she wants it to go (beautifully controlled mischief most likely) at one of LA’s most revered theatres, Largo (@ The Coronet). This night, on Mon. Mar. 14th at 8:30PM PT, will be the very first of what we hope will be several performances there for Meg and you really best get tickets before they sell out (Meg has really hardcore stans, FYI).

Get tickets here now.

Pick of the Day: Rory Scovel – Improvised Stand-Up (in LA) 9/20
August 31, 2021
News
improvised stand up, la comedy, largo, riffing, rory scovel, stand up comedy

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.

Pick of the Day: The Improvised Shakespeare Company (in LA) 8/14
August 3, 2021
News
improvised shakespeare company, largo, largo at the coronet theatre

The fate of improv, as things are opening back up and vaccinated audiences and performers are finding their ways back to each other, is still quite foggy. Stand-up, with only one performer on stage, was slightly easier to navigate when it come to having safety protocols, but having a whole improv team of people that were often going to be right next to each other (if not outright embracing or jostling one another) takes on a whole other level of consideration for COVID-19 measures when doing live shows.

Fortunately, we’re at a point where, as mentioned before, there is a way forward, which means we’ll be able to see the likes of the astounding feats of The Improvised Shakespeare Company. An entire troupe dedicated to making a Shakespearean play hilariously out of thin air while using the Bard’s own particular language has seen The Improvised Shakespeare Company around the globe (and even have Sir Patrick Stewart sit in with them from time to time) and find a home as the prestigious Largo at the Coronet Theatre.

So, they are gearing to returning to the Largo stage this month, specifically on Sat. Aug. 14th at 7PM PT & 9:30PM PT to dazzle us all again and you shouldn’t miss out. The $46 ticket ($35 plus $11 service fee) might just be worth it. Go get them before they inevitably sell out here.

Pick of the Day: Paul Scheer & Rob Huebel Present CRASH TEST (in LA) 7/24

Show by show, much of the best of LA comedy is coming back. One such thing that has set a date for its return is the anything-goes, wild ride that is Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel’s Crash Test. For years, Scheer and Huebel would take over UCB Franklin late on a weeknight to do literally anything that came to mind whether it be playing a rather aggro version of musical chairs, scrapping whole bits to talk to a justifiably fired personal assistant, or go through a “new” version of the Crash Test pledge. Also, they would fit in some stand-up from LA’s best in between whatever they chose to do.

Now, they’re coming back for their first show for 2021 and since lockdown started at Largo at the Coronet Theatre. They’ve set the date for Sat. Jul. 24th at 8:30PM PT. Tickets are $35 (plus $11 service fee). Best go get them here before they sell out.

For our money, the best bits in late night, pandemic or not, have been coming from Conan and the Team Coco team. From the get go of lockdown, Conan delved into such tomfoolery as demonstrating how to disinfect a jigsaw puzzle.

The hours of Tig Notaro doing stand-up are such a momentous occasion and really ought to behoove you to be in attendance for Tig headlining if you can.

Whether she’s unveiling several tragedies very honestly or teasing the audience with a “possible” appearance of the Indigo Girls for several minutes or dragging a stool across the stage, Tig pushes the envelope, but does so in such a clever way that you wouldn’t notice until you walked out of the theater.

In any case, get your tickets for Tig running her latest hour at Largo this Sun., Feb. 16th at 7PM. Tickets are $30 (plus $7 service fee).

As 2020 has officially arrived, we think the perfect show to first hip you to for this year (and decade) is the run of shows that the one and only Gary Gulman is doing at Largo at the Coronet Theatre next week. 

Gulman is on his Peace of Mind following his beautiful HBO special The Great Depresh and continues to be one of the best examples of what a comedian should be these days.

The Jan. 10th date is sold out, but Wed. Jan. 8th and Thurs. Jan. 9th still have tickets available. You can get them for $37 a pop here and here, respectively.

Gary Gulman is stopping by once more at Largo (he comes by about once a year). However, this time is extra special as it will be an evening that triples as a heads up on his upcoming HBO special The Great Depresh, a wondrous, wondrous line-up of comedians as you can clearly see with Maria Bamford and Patton Oswalt, and a benefit for Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services as well as a conversation about mental health.

It truly is going to be a special night, even by Largo’s high standards, and definitely worth the $58.50 ticket price. Go get your tickets for this evening of The Great Depresh here.

We got to catch a bit of Julia Sweeney at UnCabaret last night telling a story about dealing with her elderly mother and it was hilariously enthralling. From it, we can clearly see that her powers of observation, detail, and delivery are still at their peak (maybe even better?) and that she maintained a great balance between being incredibly personal and hysterical. If you loved her on SNL, you definitely need to see this round of Julia performing live as soon as you can.

So, with that in mind, we urge you to catch her solo show Older & Wider whenever you can. It’ll be playing at Largo next week on June 17th (tickets are $45) and Groundlings on July 1st (tickets are $20).

Once upon a time, Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer used to take the stage together at UCB to do something called Crash Test. It was a live show where Paul and Rob got to do whatever the hell they wanted (i.e. an aggro-version of musical chairs, accidentally talking to celebrity assistants in the crowd, going over Vin Diesel’s real FB page, etc.) in between great stand-ups. Eventually, that led to an entire comedy special that they did on a glass bus. 

It has been more than couple of a years since Huebel and Scheer have dove into this wondrous chaos, but that’s all changing as they will be reprising Crash Test again at Largo Thurs. May 30th at 8:30PM. Go get your tickets now as we have no doubt that this will be something special.
