Pick of the Day: Microdose 2 Year Anniversary (in LA) 4/10
April 6, 2024
News

The ways of the world and how the winds of change violently shove anything and everything out of place, the prospect of anything lasting past a year is a significant feat. One Mike Bridenstine, beloved LA comedian/author (get the Perfect Amount of Wrong now)/podcaster, has not only had his weekly stand-up show Microdose, neatly perched on the hills of Eagle Rock at The Fable, but has worked it into a party of a show kicked off along with the host seemingly made out of pure hosting energy, Danny Ledsinger.

Microdose has grown into quite the contender with Bridenstine’s handpicked line-ups as a weekly stand-up showcase in LA, especially on Wednesday nights when a dearth of the LA comedy scene’s primo indie stand-up shows take place (on top of surviving through the aftermath of COVID lockdown, multiple strikes, historic rain for LA over the last two years). Microdose is crowning their two year anniversary this coming Wednesday at, per usual, 8PM, but with a gargantuan line-up including Rory Scovel, Lizzy Cooperman, Howard Kremer, Curtis Cook, Harper Rose Drummond, Kelcey Ayer, and David Jackson.

Please enjoy Microdose this coming Wednesday for their 2 year celebration (and every Wednesday after). Keep up with line-ups and more @microdosecomedy on IG.

1 year anniversary, brodie reed, lizzy cooperman, max and nicky, mike hanford, sean keane, virtual comedy

The concept of time remains illusory as the pandemic continues, but, that’s still no excuse to not celebrate the anniversary of something, especially if it’s something forged out of the limitations thrust upon us by COVID-19.

Self Care Comedy is and has been the premier, virtual stand-up comedy showcase whether cases numbers were down or Delta and Omicron had arrived. This Tuesday, February 1st, Naked Comedy/Sam Varela will mark 1 year of being there for everyone who wanted to or had to stay in, for any reason, and give them a much needed relief in the form of virtual comedy from some of the absolute funniest people in comedy today.

To that point, joining Self-Care Comedy to mark their 1 year anniversary will be the beautiful comedy talents of Lizzy Cooperman, Brodie Reed, Max & Nicky, and Mike Hanford with host Sean Keane presiding over the evening’s festivities on Feb. 1st 7PM PT/10PM ET. As always, admission is free, but donations are encouraged as they will go directly to the comics performing. RSVP and donate here.

Yet another touchstone LA comedy show returns on this side of the pandemic. Truly, we just had no idea who or what was going to survive when March 2020 came to pass. There was a point at which we, and so many others, legitimately thought that perhaps none of it would come back. We continue to thankful for the instances where some of our favorite things in comedy have survived and are making a big, big comeback.

One such thing is another one of the LA comedy scene’s longest running comedy shows, Blam! Blam! Blam!, the monthly institution at K-Town’s super cool R-Bar is making its first official show since lockdown happen right at the end of 2021. For years, we loved spending a late night on Tuesdays at 3331 W. 8th St. with Paul Danke at the helm and a beautiful mix, curated by DeMorge Brown, of stand-ups, characters, and the always mind-bending surprise from Davey Johnson.

This return of Blam! Blam! Blam! has all of its favorites including:

James Adomian
Lizzy Cooperman
James Fritz
Nana the Cat Lady
Kimberly Clark
Anna Seregina
Jamel Johnson
Daniel Webb
Tom Waits

Don’t miss out this Tues. Dec. 14th. Get there at 9PM PT if you want street parking to be slightly less difficult.

Pick of the Day: LOOSE (on Mondays) (in LA) Starting 10/11
September 30, 2021
News

As live, in-person, indoors comedy has slowly come back in LA, one might notice that the amount of shows on Mondays is a little on the lighter side. The rest of the week has filled up pretty nicely with more and more options between not only stand-up, but all sorts of comedy. That dynamic is going to change in the coming weeks, thank goodness.
The weekly Monday comedy show at Little Joy in Echo Park is coming back! Once, it was called The Business and it was at 9PM, but now, it’ll be called LOOSE (and stay true to the title for having performers get really, really, truly, deeply loose with what they want to do) and start an hour earlier at 8PM PT. The stewards of LOOSE will be a crew of LA favorites including Chris Garcia, Megan Koester, Anna Seregina, and Alison Stevenson.
Their first “reboot” show on Mon. Oct. 11th will have even more LA favorites including Lizzy Cooperman and Chris Estrada as well as the newly transplanted POSTMEN (Anthony Oberbeck + Matt Barats + Carmen Christopher). Like in the old times, the show will be FREE (donations encouraged though to pay comedians).
Proof of vaccination will be required and it will be 21+. Get more info on the inaugural LOOSE here.

Pick of the Day: Space Babes (in LA) 9/24

Live comedy on the Eastside in LA grows stronger day by day. More venues and shows are either coming back or popping up (and this was the case pre-lockdown as well). The latest addition to the comedy boom on the eastside of town is a brand spanking new, outdoor stand-up show called Space Babes.

Taking the outdoor space at Highland Park’s long standing neighborhood bar, The Offbeat, the ever cleverly rambunctious Randy Liedtke will host this new stand-up endeavor and kick it off with a real barnburner of an inaugural line-up. That’ll include Rory Scovel, Lizzy Cooperman, Sara Schaefer, and Jared Goldstein (and there’s more to come!).

Best of all, it’s free to attend (so long as you have proof of vaccination).

Don’t miss the very first Space Babes on Fri. Sept. 24th at 8PM PT.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 54: Lizzy Cooperman & Envisioning Reality
April 7, 2021
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
gutfeld, hbo max, lizzy cooperman, minx, sag awards

Lizzy Cooperman remains a monumental comedian in our formative years of comedy even before The Comedy Bureau ever came into existence. The wide expanse of her creativity, her beautiful spirit, and her reverence for comedy is something we have always been inspired by and those things are still alive and well while in quarantine and leaving LA for a spell. TCB’s Jake Kroeger delves into what Lizzy has been pouring her energy into in this time as a comedian who is severely immunocompromised and what she is pondering of doing in what is still, unfortunately, a still very unsure future. Also, we actually do speed through the news/”hot” takes this time on Paul Feig’s Minx, SAG Awards winners, and Gutfeld!

Follow Lizzy @lizzycooperman on IG and Twitter and get her remarkable album Organism wherever you get your comedy albums.

Please Get and Revel in Lizzy Cooperman’s New Album “Organism”
December 7, 2018

It is our firm belief that one of the marks of great jokes is their ability to be enjoyed repeatedly. Sans surprise, they’re truly something special if they can still be so damn funny even if you can recite it from hearing it so many times.

Lizzy Cooperman is absolutely one of our all time favorites here and we’ve definitely doubled over laughing every time, which must be well over a hundred times at this point, we’ve seen her dissonantly bang away at her keyboard in between her rapid-fire, absurdist, dark, personal, often non-sequitur humor. 

So, though we often knew what was coming throughout the whole of Organism, the energy, spirit, and unwavering commitment to be sublimely silly was still so thoroughly delightful to us. 

We wholeheartedly agree with Karen Kilgariff in the intro for this album for Lizzy when she says that Lizzy makes her believe in comedy. 

So, please go get Lizzy Cooperman’s Organism right here right now and enjoy it again and again and again and again.

let me know if you need anything, lizzy cooperman, silverlake, solo show

Lizzy Cooperman was one of the first comedians that we saw and redefined what we thought comedy could be.

Normally, a brilliant punk rock-ish absurdist comedian whose short jokes hit as hard as she bangs her keyboard after her punchlines, Lizzy takes a turn towards telling the story of getting stricken with a mysterious disease and having her whole life changed because of it. We just this show last week, definitely “felt all the feelings”, and was, yet again, amazed with Lizzy Cooperman. 

She’s doing another performance tomorrow night at the Lyric Hyperion on Tue., Nov. 20th at 10PM. Tickets are $10 and please go get them here.

Honestly, we think it’s a travesty that Lizzy Cooperman isn’t more of a known name in comedy. She’s one of the first people we ever saw live that opened our minds to the possibility of what comedy, specifically stand-up could be all those years ago when we started the Bureau.

So, we really urge you to go to one (or both) of the FREE tapings of her album (that will also have the brilliant Karen Kilgariff hosting) at the end of the month.

RSVP here.

At this point in time, you’ve probably heard how divided we are as a country ad nauseam over POTUS, healthcare, gun control, etc. 

A nice solution or reprieve from that might be hear to comedians debate things that do not matter whatsoever like Dr. Dre vs. Dr. Seuss. 

That is what the traveling comedy show and podcast Arguments & Grievances brings to the table and will be doing so next week at Nerdmelt with some of LA’s best.
