Per usual, The New York Comedy Festival is stacked as evidenced by Conan O’Brien being a part of it and announcing the headlining line-up (and trying to double up on a “farewell”) in this video here.
The NY Comedy Festival runs from 11/7-11/12 this year and you can get more details and tickets here.
From the Hollywood Hills to Mar Vista, A Comedy Show has given some damn fun stand-up shows in a mansion and a yurt in a backyard.

Monthly a house in Silverlake gets turned into a ridiculous “drinking game” comedy show/house party with Brew Haha. Hundreds of folks come out and it seriously looks and feels like you’re in one of those great parties that you’d only see in movies.

Tickets are $5-$10 and you can (and should) get them here.

We got to see this extremely fun show, Dungeon, awhile ago and it really has stand-up comedians taking the reins to a streamlined version of Dungeons & Dragons. More often than not, that means they play for what might be funnier rather than what’s prudent and wise on their quest.
John-Michael Bond hosts as a Dungeon Master and really blends stand-up and D&D almost seamlessly with this show. This latest edition this Sunday, July 30th will feature a great line-up of Jordan Temple, Kaseem Bentley, Jordan Doll, Barbara Gray and Christine Medrano.
Please get tickets here.

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.
If you think we deserve some money for that, please pledge to our Patreon campaign.

Two of the most critically acclaimed absurdist comedians in the world, Dr. Brown and Sam Simmons, join up together again to do one of their most absurd shows, Ceremony at Silverlake’s Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe.
Rather than try to explain how the show might be a postmodern dissection of the Western notion of what ‘ceremony’ is, means, and enacted, we’ll just tell you that Ceremony is damn funny and has a advisory warning of containing nudity.
Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Get your advance tickets here.

The show that has comedians following the most heart wrenching videos on the Internet is back.
Follow That! really does play a video that is almost perfectly designed to make you cry and has stand-up comedians see what they can do immediately afterwards.
It may sound cruel and unusual, but, as far as we have seen thus far, it has been a hell of a good time.
Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at door. Get your advance tickets here.

Arguments and Grievances, the comedy debate podcast, is a great reminder that free speech in America allows for us to have heated discourse over such “essential” topics like “you’re crazy” vs. “no, you’re crazy” or 420 vs. 69.

Get more details here and listen to the podcast here.

The inaugural edition of this show was so much damn fun. If you thought that comedians playing very bad video games was a winning formula, you were right on.

For our money, one of the best ways to catch the fantastic Jen Kirkman in LA is at her recurring show, Lab Test, at the Hollywood Improv Comedy Lab. True to the title, Jen throws new material into a crucible along with great special guests.

Andy Daly has built a cavalcade of iconic characters throughout his comedy careers. Some of those characters are monstrous, but in a devilishly fun way.
So, Daly is doing a whole solo show Andy Daly: Monsters Take Your Questions where he takes questions as those very characters. We have no doubt Dalton Wilcox and Don DiMello fielding questions will be a hell of a good time.
Catch the show before it heads off to the Edinburgh Fringe this August. Tonight’s engagement is stand by only, but you can buy tickets for upcoming dates (Fri, Jun. 30th @ UCB Sunset 9:30PM and Thu. Jul. 6th @ UCB Franklin 9:30PM) at UCB here.
