Comedy Crawl All Updated for Next Week
If you need a laugh somewhere in the greater LA area, we got you covered.
Follow That! pits comedians to the challenge of following a very emotional video being shown to the audience (i.e. troops coming home to the surprise of their family). Having any sort of very dramatic pause at a comedy show can prove very difficult, but the line-up with Chris Fairbanks, Nikki Glaser, Dan St. Germain, Nicole Byer, and Jon Huck for this show is pretty great. In any case, our curiosity is peaked as to see what might happen.
Tickets for Follow That! are $8 online and $10 at the door. You can (and should) tickets online here.

Carrie Gravenson, Abbi Crutchfield, Kaytlin Bailey, and Erin Judge, otherwise known as CAKE Comedy, having been touring together across the U.S. since 2012.

Their first show that they’re crowdfunding is in Philadelphia on April 24th, but their deadline to raise money is 12 days away (as of this post). They’ve got $577 raised out of the $1000 goal.
Please support them as you’ll be supporting independent live comedy, women in comedy, and overall good comedy.
Dave Chappelle will be playing the Blind Barber in Culver City tonight and Club Bahia near Dodger Stadium tomorrow night for $75 a pop (2 ticket limit per person). The shows were just announced last night and went on sale a few minutes ago.

One of the most revered weekly stand-up shows in the country, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, ended its 6 year run last month, which included three seasons as a TV series on Comedy Central.
Naturally, the 8:30PM slot at Nerdmelt where Meltdown took place was going to be filled in by something given Meltdown’s status as a flagship show at the theater.
In two weeks, you will all have a very exciting and worthy show filling in with Rabbit Hole with Jay Larson and Rory Scovel produced by Nerdmelt’s Caitlin Durante. Larson and Scovel are two of our favorites and this show will be in good hands as you can see with our thoughts on Jay’s recent album Human Math and Scovel’s latest Conan set.
In the inaugural show, Kate Berlant, Todd Glass, Bridey Elliott, Joe Mande, Baron Vaughn, and a surprise guest will be performing. It should go without saying that it’ll be a hell of a show and something that will get us all through the next few years and beyond.
Tickets are $10 and are available now here.
You can keep up with Rabbit Hole on @therabbitholela on Twitter, @therabbitholela on Instagram, and on Facebook.
Per usual, The Super Serious Show is going to be a really good time.
