Pick of the Day: Brett Goldstein (near LA) 12/10 + *Tix Giveaway*

December 6, 2023
News
brett goldstein, los angeles comedy, pasadena, stand up comedy

If you’re nestled in the cozy heights of Pasadena surrounded by a much more classic LA aesthetic, we get that you probably don’t want to leave all that often to LA proper or even hike it to something cool at Highland Park. That leaves limited comedy options for you if that’s the case. The Ice House, LA’s oldest comedy club is back in action, but they can only give you so many options.

Suffice it to say that it isn’t every night or even every week or every month that someone like Brett Goldstein (i.e. Roy Kent and Hercules) comes through the Pasadena city limits. Yet, Goldstein is headlining the classic Pasadena Civic Auditorium this Sun. Dec. 10th at 7PM. It’s a hop, skip, and not even a jump from Old Pasadena, so you can get in a stroll and probably some very expensive wine in before you head to the show.

Tickets start at $72 and you can buy ’em here, but we actually have a couple pairs of tickets if you want them. Just let us know at thecomedybureau@gmail.com!

Pick of the Day: Julian Velard Is In the Middle of Something (in LA) 12/10

December 1, 2023
News
julian velard, los angeles comedy, musical comedy, solo show

Julian Velard is many a thing including a masterful pianist with golden pipes with wit and panache to match. He’s also middle aged and in, well, the middle of figuring things out.

Part of figuring it out is doing an entire beautiful and hilarious and vulnerable and raw solo musical show about the whole ordeal of being in the middle of your life/getting your ducks in a row/figuring out how the hell the future is going to work out. We’ve seen the show and Julian hits a wonderful comedic and emotional nerve with his premise where something like This Is 40 or a deluge of sitcoms about being middle aged missed the mark.

So, don’t miss the next time Julian Is In the Middle of Something, which just happens to be pretty close to the middle of this month, Sun. Dec. 10th at 9:30PM at the Lyric Hyperion in fact. Tickets are $15 and you really ought to go get them here.

 

Pick of the Day: iL FUNGO presents Saturnalia: A Holiday Bacchanal (in LA) 12/9

News
clowning, il fungo, los angeles comedy, yard theater

iL FUNGO, the sensational LA comedy bouffon troupe has really been making waves this year not only because of their outrageous modern takes on a bouffon costume, but for their special brand of controlled chaos that always gets the crowd enthralled and doubled over while being mystified all in the same breath. That’s all credit to the clowning talents of Deidre Scott, Grant O’Connell, Joshua Kilcoyne, Mike Rose, Starlette Cravens, Tiffany Lawrence and Tyler Ramirez and the troupe’s director Dean Evans.

For the first time ever, they’re going to do a full length live show and celebrate the cooler, sexier holiday this holiday season, Saturnalia. The best, most hilarious sort of chaos will ensue.

Look out for iL FUNGO presents Saturnalia: A Holiday Bacchanal at the Yard Theater on Sat. Dec. 9th at 9PM. Tickets are $12 and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

Pick of the Day: Filth with Steph Tolev (in LA) 12/5

November 28, 2023
News
comedy store, filth, los angeles comedy, steph tolev

Go figures as there is John Waters: Pope of Trash exhibit at the Academy Museum that there would be an ascent of a Queen of Filth just up the road at a comedy club. That’s right, Steph Tolev is a well-earned, self-styled Queen of Filth with the perfect husky voice to compliment and she’s doing a very special, very blue night of stories and stand-up at The Comedy Store this coming Tues. Dec. 5th.

When it comes to going dirty, Tolev isn’t so much wheeling and dealing in going graphic just for the sake of it or for schadenfreude, but is so exquisitely talented at sourcing comedy out of the filthiest crevices she can find every month with the aptly named, Filth.

Also, this night will be double as a toy drive for the WeHo LAFD, so you can do some good while listening to something that’s unequivocally NSFW.

Tickets are $10 (plus 2 drink min.) and you can (and should) go get them here.

Many a thing is bandied about when it comes to DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), but, often, little action is actually taken to make it happen.

Sounds pretty grand, yes?

Well, EPIC Players will be having an exclusive comedy fundraiser with a plenty inclusive line-up featuring some amazing neuro-diverse comedians (and some NTs as well) at Santa Monica’s Crow Comedy Club (keep in mind that they’re located in a gorgeous arts colony with a gigantic free parking lot) this coming Friday, Dec. 1st at 8PM.

Pick of the Day: Overheard LA Presents Roast of LA (in LA) 12/13

November 24, 2023
News
bourbon room, hollywood, los angeles comedy, overheard la, roast

It’s no mystery that LA, along so many of its gorgeous, sun-soaked facets, is inherently and thoroughly ridiculous. That’s part of the reason that @OverheardLA is so popular on IG. If you’re not familiar, get ready to deep dive on the very real fringes of LA’s characters that we wish we’re just made up for a Groundlings or UCB showcase.

That said, Overheard LA is culminating their focus into a live show, an entire Roast of LA, hosted by NYC comedy’s Stef Dag. Of course, having a New Yorker preside over a roast of LA isn’t entirely fair, so they’re going to have Angelenos do it (including some of the funniest people in the Greater LA Area).

ROASTING THE CITY OF ANGELS HOWEVER THEY PLEASE WILL INCLUDE:Anna Seregina
Babe Motel
Brian Bahe
Carmen Christopher
Connor Wood
Courtney Pauroso
Dylan Adler
Hannah Pilkes
Jared Goldstein
Joe Kwaczala
Luke Mones
Morgan Jay
Rachel Pegram
Rob Haze
Robby Hoffman
Vinny Thomas
Zach Zucker

This Roast of LA, set for Wed. Dec. 13th at 8PM at The Bourbon Room, might even top Randy Newman’s LA anthem “I Love LA” actually being a low key diss track. Tickets start at $25 a pop (plus 2 item min.). Go get ’em here.

Pick of the Day: What Does it All Mean, What Does Any of This Mean? Why? How? Help! (in LA) 12/5

November 22, 2023
News
alison stevenson, existential crisis, los angeles comedy, philosophical research society, talk show

The return of movie and TV stars as the go-to guests for late night means that there’s less chance to ponder the human condition, the existential crisis derived from the meaning of it “all”, and whether comedy actually makes a difference (because movies have to be promoted by their talent, right?).

Thankfully, LA comedy staple Alison Stevenson is putting on a talk show to actually get back to actually filling the actual void by staring right into it (with a panel of amazing LA comedians including Guy Branum, Brian Bahe, Johnny Pemberton, Maggie Maye, and Laurie Kilmartin). The philosopher king aspect of comedy will definitely be highlighted on Tues. Dec. 5th at 7PM at The Philosophical Research Society when the aptly named What Does it All Mean, What Does Any of This Mean? Why? How? Help! goes down.

Tickets are only $15 for a talk show that isn’t going to sidestep the meaning of life through playing some version of Match Game. Go get ’em here.

 

Pick of the Day: Pasadena Doo Dah Parade (near LA) 11/19

November 18, 2023
News
doo dah parade, los angeles comedy, pasadena

Lots of pomp and circumstance surround the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, one of the first things that greets the new year in LA. Yet, not enough is said about the more underground and free spirited procession that is the annual Pasadena Doo Dah Parade.

Several weeks before the legendary march of elaborate rose floats and various marching bands and horses, a certain Burning Man vibe comes through Old Town Pasadena with arguably more color and exuberance than the Rose Parade (and a whole lot more tongue and cheek fun). Also, you can enter to be in the parade for $10 and you won’t have to deal with college football fans!

The Doo Dah Parade is happening this Sun. starting at 11AM, is free to attend, and is starting at Raymond Ave. x Holly St then turning onto Colorado Blvd and going through to Pasadena Ave. Get more info @pasadenadoodah.

Pick of the Day: Jackie Johnson How To Find a Second Husband (in LA) 12/13

November 15, 2023
News
jackie johnson, los angeles comedy, solo show

We’ve all been on a journey over the last few years, haven’t we? It’s a question/statement so obvious that it’s borderline offensive (and dismissive of the million different ways in which the world feels like it’s going up in flames).

That said, the stories that people have lived through are often undeniably captivating and, if it’s someone who is undeniably hilarious and raw like Jackie Johnson (of Natch Beaut fame and a frequent hysterical UCB star in pre-pandemic days) sharing her story/solo show How To Get a Second Husband of being a divorcée (that will include stellar choreo from award winning choreographer Kathryn Burns) is something that we highly suggest you go see (also the early show sold out and a late show was added).

So, you best get your tickets here at $25 a pop and clear your calendar to be at The Broadwater for Wed. Dec. 13th for 9:30PM.

 

Pick of the Day: Kate Berlant is Kate (near LA) 1/17-2/11

November 14, 2023
News
kate berlant, los angeles comedy, pasadena playhouse

Kate Berlant is the rare comedian that not only expands the outer bounds of what it means to be a comedian, but one that does so in a way that engrossing, mystifying, ridiculous, and hilarious all at the same time. We often profess the true freedom that the discipline of stand-up can offer, but few choose to take advantage of. Berlant takes a running start with said freedom so she can get enough momentum to fly wherever Kate’s multilayered imagination and ingenuity decide to take her.

Certainly, this is all showcased in her solo show Kate Berlant Is Kate, which we were lucky enough to see it workshopped at The Elysian with director Bo Burnham before it had a big fancy run at the Connelly in NYC and is now returning for a month long run at the Pasadena Playhouse. On select dates from Jan. 17th through Feb. 11th, you can bare witness to Berlant’s latest and greatest work.

Tickets start at $44 and you can (and should) go snag ’em here.

Pick of the Day: The Talent Talent Show (in LA) 11/16

November 13, 2023
News
back to school, ever mainard, kyle mizono, los angeles comedy, sam walt jones, sammy mowrey

It’s not often a huge mystery that the root of many a comedian’s origin story is high school. It’s often the worst part of adolescence as the fog of adulthood starts casting a pall over what used to be a somewhat innocent world.

With that in mind, why not fictionally revisit it for a conceptual talent show with many LA comedy faves including Ever Mainard, Kyle Mizono, Sammy Mowrey, Madi Hart, and Kofie Yeboah (as well as Sam Walt Jones as the Principal andLane Unsworth as “Coach Unsworth”)?

That’s exactly what’s happening with The Talent Talent Show and this will be a HS night to remember fondly. In fact, we’re betting that this Talent Talent Show will be better than whatever high school reunion you thought was a good idea to attend.

Mark down Thurs. Nov. 16th at 10PM at Dynasty Typewriter and break out a $20 for tickets here.

 

Pick of the Day: Billy Wayne Davis (in LA) 11/28

November 9, 2023
News
billy wayne davis, los angeles, los angeles comedy, stand up comedy

While the Southern drawl might be thick, the comedy of Billy Wayne Davis is one of finesse, nuance, and some of the sharpest wit and writing out in comedy today. Only a voice like Davis can draw multiple applause breaks out of a phrase like “snake church” and, for that amidst many other golden facets of his comedy, he should be seen at every available opportunity.

Lucky for Angelenos that he’s doing an entire hour at the beautiful intimate space that is the Lyric Hyperion on Tues. Nov. 28th at 9:30PM. It’s the rare opportunity to see someone in LA do a full hour as well as see someone of the caliber of Billy Wayne Davis (one of a literal handful of comedians to ever record at Jack White’s prestigious Third Man Records) headline in town.

Tickets are only $15 and you can (and should) go get tickets here.

comedy festival, elysian theater, experimental comedy, los angeles comedy, spaghetti fest

We gave you a heads up as The Elysian’s experimental comedy festival, Spaghetti Festival (FKA Forget About Spaghetti Fest) as soon as it was announced, though we didn’t really know what they were going to have up their sleeve for 10 nights of 1000% original, never-before-seen or publicly performed live comedy productions.

They had anything from a meta play about Lyndon B. Johnson to better living via bones seminar, so it truly is anyone’s guess what they could have cooking for Spaghetti Festival in 2023.

Well, Spaghetti Fest kicks off next weekend starting Wed. Nov. 1st running for ten nights featuring the likes of an absurdist solo show about working the concessions stand, a coming of age story for Nosferatu done with puppets, Kyle Mizono doing her version of Being John Malkovich about herself, the LA clowns’ take on an astrology chart, and even a gritty noir tale involving the Kia Soul Hamsters. That’s only the half of it.

Take a gander at the rest of the spaghetti hidden up the billowy sleeves of The Elysian here and grab tickets at $18 a pop.

Pick of the Day: All for Armenia Live Comedy Fundraiser (in LA) 11/3

armenia, benefit show, fundraiser, los angeles comedy, stand up comedy, ucb

The world isn’t technically at war, but it’s hard to feel like that the whole of the planet is even remotely close to being at peace. One could spin a globe with eyes closed and probably land on a location rife with violent conflict. As such, supporting any and all of the humanitarian aid you can, wherever it may be, is crucial.

That’s why James Adomian is leading a benefit for All for Armenia at UCB on Fri. Nov. 3rd at 10pm, since the horror in Armenia perpetrated by Azerbaijan still continues with ethnic cleansing of Armenians living in the surrendered territory of Artsakh (though you wouldn’t know it from the news).

Joining Adomian is a very stacked line-up of Reggie Watts, Phil Hendrie, Chris Estrada, Alyssa Limperis, Mary Basmadjian, and Nate Craig all for the nice price of $15 (right now). 100% of ticket sales go to All for Armenia.

Go get tix here before they inevitably sell out and, if you’re feeling generous, directly donate to All for Armenia.

Pick of the Day: Schtick or Treat (in LA) 10/31

halloween, los angeles comedy, schtick or treat

There is kind of no better comedy Halloween tradition than Matt Ruby and Mark Normand‘s Schtick or Treat. A cavalcade of your favorite comedians of all kinds convene as their favorite comedians, in full costume, to do their most faithful rendition of them as a Halloween tribute (probably). Lasting well over a decade and playing multiple cities including NYC and LA at the same appointed spooky time of the year, Schtick or Treat, was a highlight of not only the Halloween season, but of the comedy scene for the whole year.

Thus, we’re (yes, full disclosure, we have a hand in this) bringing it back from the dead to be yet another very special night of uncanny night with jokes conjured from beyond the mic (or simply just remembered from a signature album or special).

Thus far, the comedy witching hour is summoning:

James Adomian

Barbara Gray

Sammy Mowrey

Curtis Cook

Paul Danke

Danny Sellers

Tyler Jackson

Ellory Smith

Blake Rosier

Jessica Michelle Singer

Simon Gibson

Mike Bridenstine

Andres Parada

Lorena Russi

Roxanne Acree

Maxi Witrak

with many more TBA!

This newly revived Schtick or Treat is set for the actual night of Halloween, Tues. 10/31 at 10PM at the wondrous Lyric Hyperion in Silverlake.

Tickets are only $15 and it’s, for our money, the best bet on Halloween. Go get tickets already right here.

November is approaching fast, which means Vulture is coming to LA. Thankfully, that’s not anything resembling the CA state bird, the California Condor, circling its prey. Instead, it’s a highly curated gathering of the most chic happenings possible via NY Magazine’s cool arm (including a live Comedians You Should & Will Know showcase).

Vulture Festival is coming back to Hollywood once again on Sat. Nov. 12th and Sun. 13th, but taking over a new location, nya Studios, which actually puts its squarely in the “Netflix Valley” of Hollywood (which means you’ll probably still see a picket line if the SAG-AFTRA strike isn’t over in another month).

So far, they’ve announced:

Weird Al Superlatives Live!

Matt Rogers Holiday Spectacular Sing-a-Long Extravaganza (Album Version)

A Big Long Talk With Cord Jefferson (writer/director of what will likely be the end of the year comedy hit, American Fiction)

An Intimate Evening with Adam Pally

That’s just a taste of what’s to come.

Tickets are only $25-$30 per show and you can (and very much should) go snag tix here, before they sell out (Vulture tends to sell out their events).

Dylan Adler, los angeles comedy, musical comedy, Sam Oh

We sincerely hope you’ve seen and fallen in love with the, honestly, beautiful queer Asian comedy stylings of Dylan Adler and Sam Oh in and throughout LA. Between backflips and being psychic amongst a myriad of other talents they both have, Adler and Oh have established themselves in the scene that you really need to go out of your way to see.

With that in mind, you can see them both for a very special musical/comedy/cabaret variety night at one of LA’s favorite queer haunts, Tramp Stamp Granny’s along with a special line-up that also seems to be amazing queer/Asian comedians. This very first show will include the likes of Sheng Wang, EJ Marcus, Vinny Thomas, and Susan Song and, for our money, that should mean your plans for Thurs. Nov. 2nd at 8PM are made.

lindsay adams, los angeles comedy, sam wiles, stand up comedy, will miles

No matter the state of the world/economy/government, nothing really changes Mondays from being Mondays and, in our minds, it’s imperative that they are reliable forms of mental relief via legit weekly comedy shows plentifully available. Such is the case on Wednesdays in LA (Hot Tub, Better Half, Microdose, Motherland, Totally!, and Skin Contact to name a few).

Mondays are much more sparing.

That’s why it’s thrilling to hear that LA comedy staples Lindsay Adams, Sam Wiles, and Will Miles are starting up a brand new weekly stand-up show, Cult Classic, in Eagle Rock’s Señor Fish. Every Monday night at 7PM, just head on up Eagle Rock Blvd. to wooden-fort-ish Señor Fish after you bought your $8 tickets to enjoy a painstakingly curated, secret line-up and negate any instance of “having the case of the Mondays”. Also, don’t you want to get in on the ground floor of a “cult classic”?

We think all that we should have to say to get you to go to this is that Cameron Esposito is starting up a monthly show at the Elysian and then you would just go buy tickets here.

That said, we’ll fill you in on some details. Esposito remains as one of our favorite comedians for all of her wit, candor, and warmth that has only gotten more refined and nuanced since we’ve first saw her live on stage. The prospect of getting to see her live on a regular basis again is absolutely thrilling news and that will indeed be happening with Velvet Tuesdays with Cameron Esposito, a (for now) monthly show at the Elysian kicking off on Tues.

10 nights of 10 freshly dreamt up and produced shows that span comedy to experimental performance from all corners of LA are set to take over the Elysian from Nov. 1st–Nov. 11th. There will be shows that imagine realities beyond a concession stand, a Kyle Mizono-ified world of Being John Malkovich, Nosferatu’s Sweet 16, the end of a cult, and an entire clown interpretation of the Zodiac. The first one was a beautiful fever dream and this one ought to pick up right where the last one last left off.

With his prolific output of sketches at a single given time (31 for 31 and 21 for 21) and Joe’s simultaneous balancing that with his ever-so-clever stand-up, you’d think that he’d have a few albums under his belt.

If that’s what you’re thinking, then you’d be genuinely surprised to know that his very first album, the aptly named, Funny Songs & Sketches, is just about to come out. Kwaczala is having a very special night this Thur. Sept. 28th at 7:30PM at Dynasty Typewriter to celebrate the release that will very likely be every bit as magical as when we first saw Joe do The Wheel Show at Nerdmelt Showroom, a sketch variety show whose fate was decided by the spin of a wheel.

Tickets for Joe’s album release are $20 a pop and you better get them here soon as Thurs. 9/28 is coming up real quick.
