Pick of the Day: Christina Catherine Martinez Presents: Stephanie Presents: Tala Madani (in LA) 2/18
February 13, 2023
News
art exhibition, christina catherine martinez, los angeles comedy, moca, tala madani

For a very big stretch of our tenure as The Comedy Bureau, we’ve always dreamt (and thusly attempt to manifest) comedians giving a tour of an art museum or an art exhibition. There have been hints of such things over the years (B.J. Novak snuck his own version of an audio tour into an art museum way before The Office), but we feel that there is such a great intersection of the art and comedy worlds that could create something really magical with a bit more traffic (i.e. comedy could take itself a little more seriously and art could be sillier and more self-effacing)

Leave it to art critic and comedian Christina Catherine Martinez to do something brilliant yet again and set herself to do a tour of an actual art exhibition at MOCA as a character. Hence, this weekend, there will be Christina Catherine Martinez presents: Stephanie presents: Tala Madini. Christina will be donning an alter-ego of mononym art publicist Stephanie diving into the very real and profound work of Tala Madani in its closing week at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in DTLA.

There’s no Super Bowl, awards shows, or whatever else this weekend, so make plans to go to this on Sat. Feb. 18th at 4PM, especially since admission is free.

Carly Kane, house show, los angeles comedy, Meg Indurti, stand up comedy, the big one

Now that the winter is getting a little less chilly, by LA standards of course, many a show that normally takes advantage of LA’s picturesque weather, kind of like the kind we have today on Feb. 10th, are coming out of the wood work.

Namely, one of the best house comedy shows in LA, The Big One, in Highland Park, is coming back for its first go-around of 2023. They aren’t messing around with the line-up either as Carly Kane and Meg Indurti will be joined by Aparna Nancherla, Felicia Folkes, Brandi Denise, Lili Michelle, Meeki Leeper, and Ahamed Weinberg. An entire fleet of fold-up lawn-chairs and the perfect back patio for a house comedy show will be brought out next Fri. Feb. 17th at 7PM.

News
amelie, cinespia, los angeles, los angeles comedy, valentine's, valentine's day, what to do

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and, for the most part, pretty unavoidable. If you’ve got someone in your life that you’d like to do something with that particular day and they happen to be a big cinephile, you might find that most screenings of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Amelie are sold out around town.

Luckily, Cinespia has you covered as they’re taking over the massive Los Angeles Theatre in DTLA to have a very special Valentine’s Day screening of the enduringly charming, whimsical, humorous modern classic that is Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie from over 20 years ago. Not only will there be a exclusive Valentine’s screening of Amelie, but there will be a free photobooth, live music, and dance party.

All you got to do is snag tickets at $44 here and make sure you wear formal attire (or dress kind of like you’re in Amelie?)

Pick of the Day: Dr. Brown Beturns (in LA) 2/28

News
clowning, dr brown, los angeles comedy, ucb

When it comes to clowning in LA, the ever-burgeoning, exciting, rebellious corner of comedy that has sparked the imagination and inspiration of a growing number of performers and shows and venues, one of the bigger figures around is Dr. Brown (Phil Burgers). A perennial international comedy award winner at such prestigious festivals as the Edinburgh Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Dr. Brown was and is a big part of clowning now being an integral part of the LA comedy scene.

That said, it has been quite some time since he’s down his own show. It has been years (even before COVID probably?) since that has happened.

Thankfully, the tides are changing and Dr. Brown is venturing out once again, often at PDA in Altadena, but specifically at UCB Franklin on Tues. Feb. 28th at 8:30PM for the aptly named Dr. Brown Beturns. Tickets are $20 and you’re going to want to snag them before they sell out here.

The Golden Girlz, LA’s favorite reimagining of the revered sitcom, The Golden Girls, done by LA’s best drag performers, is returning once again (and they are still tickets available). The long running show has been one of Los Angeles’ quickest shows when it comes to selling out all available seats and it was probably for the best if you set up some sort of alert or reminder for the next one.

Fortunately for you, there are still tickets available for the latest run of The Golden Girlz, featuing your favorites Jackie Beat, Sherry Vine, and Sam Pancake as well as the one and only Alaska Thunderfuck as Rose Nylund. It’ll be running this weekend and next at the new new Lyric Hyperion, specifically, Fridays and Saturdays will have 8PM and 10PM shows and Sundays will go on at 4PM, 7PM, and 9PM.

Tickets are $40 a pop right now and you better not hesitate in getting tickets as they will absolutely sell out.

Pick of the Day: Karen Hall-Delusions and Grandeur (in LA) 1/27

News
classical music, clown, karen hall, los angeles comedy

As more and more of comedy (and, for that matter, the world) discovers clowning in this day and age (beyond those unfortunate ones at a kids’ b-day party), the landscape of clowning itself keeps changing, much to the delight of its own community and those who chase watching every bit of it they can.

Karen Hall is one such an individual who has made a niche for herself amongst the burgeoning clowning scene in LA as she has mixed her background as a professionally touring cellist into her clown work. We’ve gotten to see a bit of her work and the brilliance of it at The Clubhouse‘s clown night known as Catsby, often accompanying Chad Damiani and a guest doing silent improv.

Karen is setting to do her very own show this Friday that will more vigorously blend the worlds of classical music and clown that will give a special clown-ish look at her very own unique trail that she’s blazed. Called Delusions and Grandeur, Karen will be taking the stage at North Hollywood’s Theatre 68 on Jan. 27th at 8PM with tickets only being $12. Go get them here and get ready for something like you’ve probably never seen before in all of comedy (even if you’re a big P.D.Q. Bach fan).

 

Pick of the Day: Ben Wasserman: Live After Death (in LA) 2/20
January 19, 2023
News
Ben Wasserman, live after death, los angeles comedy, yard theater

We love when concept and venue match and we also happen to love when comedy explores and dissects into the inevitability of death. Thus, we naturally are very on board for the amazing Ben Wasserman‘s variety show about death that he ran out of a funeral parlor in NYC throughout 2022.

So cleverly called Live After Death, Wasserman made probably as silly and absurd a show about grief and loss as one can make, yet do so from a genuine place (Wasserman lost several people close to him over three years) rather doing so to be “edgy”. Ben is bringing his show to LA and doing a special performance at The Yard Theater on Mon. Feb. 10th at 9PM.

For those not looking forward to Valentine’s Day, this is probably the perfect show. Tickets are only $15 and you can (and should) go get ’em here.

On Wednesdays at 7:30PM starting Jan. 18th, Van Kirk, Tu, and the Lyric will bring together a nice and tight round-up of the city’s very best comedians, both established and ones that you should be on the look out for.

True multi-hyphenate Lindsay Ames has come up with so many amazing things over the years between comedy, filmmaking, cooking, and more. One of the best things she has ever created is a game show, Make That Sandwich, that brings a lot of her passions all into one scrumptious and oh so very funny concoction.

Contestants, usually comprising some of the best comedy and comedy adjacent folks around (Nicole Byer, Randall Park, Sam Reich, Adam Conover, Milana Vayntraub, Reggie Watts, Moby, Tiny Chef, Carl Tart) take turns either adding an ingredient to a sandwich (that will actually be made for consumption) or calling for the sandwich to be created by yelling, “MAKE. THAT. SANDWICH.” The result is a one of a kind, unique sandwich and a hell of a fun evening.

So, the latest edition of MAKE THAT SANDWICH is set for Sat. Mar. 18th at 10PM at UCB Franklin. Get tickets now at $15 a pop here before it sells out (space in UCB Franklin is very limited)

Finally, at long last, Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler & Kristen Schaal is returning (again). There was a brief window last year where we got some semblance of what we left on Mondays nights in 2019, but then it went away again (and we didn’t know how long it would be gone this time).

Thank gracious goodness that Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, one of LA comedy’s most venerable weekly comedy shows, is coming to a new home starting next week with a new day as well. Starting Jan. 11th, Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen will be at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Cypress Park/Glassell Park on Wednesdays at 8PM sharp.

This first 2023 Hot Tub will, as you’d expect, will have an unbelievably stacked line-up of treasured comedians that just happen to reside in the City of Angels including Nick Kroll, Sheng Wang, Christina Catherine Martinez, Blair Socci, and Sophie Buddle.

Advanced tickets are already sold out, but there will be door tickets available for $12. Note that you’ll probably want to be there early if you want to be able to snag them (the pupusas a couple doors down is a pretty great option while you wait, FYI).

Plenty is said about “safe spaces” and the effects they have on social discourse and, very specifically, comedy, but it isn’t often that you actual hear from a legitimate safe space and the folks that built something to directly address rampant, systemic issues in the art form and community of comedy such as misogyny, exclusion, and even hack writing.

Bobbie Oliver has spent several years taking on all such issues through her own classes and workshops as well as the venue she founded in LA, Tao Comedy Studio, dedicated to being as inclusive as can be and free of chauvinist and purely edgelord comedians. TCB’s Jake Kroeger kicks off 2023 with a deep chat with Bobbie Oliver about pushing the art form forward (as well as addressing Andrew Tate ever claiming he was being some sort of comedic character).

2023 approaches and you may be having an appropriate sense of deeply cautious optimism or equally valid only slightly tempered cynicism. With the state of the world as it is and where it might be headed, wouldn’t it be fun to start off the year by being personally invited to throw tomatoes at comedic performers at a live show?

Such a practice was left to obscurity several decades ago, but comedic mastermind and experimenter Blake Rosier is bringing this ritual(?) back for night only at The Yard Theater in LA on Sun. Jan. 8th at 7PM. If in attendance, you’ll have the chance to throw tomatoes at Devon Drew, Elle Chapman, Indy Wilson, Austin Nasso, Adouria, Cerspence, Kev, and, of course, Blake himself. Undoubtedly, chaos will ensue and, perhaps, maybe bring a poncho?

Two things we’re definitely looking forward to in 2023: the re-rebirth of Lyric Hyperion in Silverlake and way more Ever Mainard. The treasured venue is back on track to be more of what it was right before lockdown thanks to one Sean Casey and part of that will include Ever doing their improvised/crowd-work show that’s always such a superb thrill to be a part of.

Mainard’s penchant for being present and chasing tangents is one of the more enthralling and dynamic things we get to see out here in the LA comedy scene and an opportunity to see that for an hour should absolutely not be missed.

So, on Thurs. Jan. 12th & Jan. 26th (and then every 2nd Thursday after that) at 7:30PM, Mainard will take command of the newly refurbished stage at Lyric Hyperion to round the audience in the best type of chaos. Go get your tickets here right now for $12 a pop.

In LA, between Christmas and New Year’s, it is, unfortunately, a week where people who didn’t go back home for the holidays tap their thumbs on their steering wheel while “enjoying” the absence of traffic (and things to do).

That said, there are very much things to do and, of course, comedy shows to go to including the return of the devilishly fun 50 Worst Jokes. As opposed to the long running 50 First Jokes wherein several comedians tell their first joke(s) of the new year, this show poses comics to share the worst joke they’ve told in the past year. It’s a bunch of subversive fun to see how everyone, especially so many of LA’s funniest, interpret that prompt.

This edition of 50 Worst Jokes is set for Wed. Dec. 28th at 8PM at The Airliner and will feature the worst bits of:

If you’re in LA for Christmas and you’re finding that you want to get away from any sort of Christmas get-together and do something else entirely, you might notice that almost every comedy club, theater, spot in town is closed for the day.

You might feel a bit abandoned in your search for something outside the bounds of holiday cheer in the City of Angels, but fret not. Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly has a Marx Brothers double feature running on Christmas afternoon. Animal Crackers and Horse Feathers, two choice selections from the Marx Brothers filmography, will screen back-to-back at the New Bev starting at 2PM. It doesn’t get more escapist for Christmas 2022 in LA than watching Animal Crackers and Horse Feathers, two revered slapstick comedies from all the way back in the 1930s.

We’ve sung the praises of internationally renowned auteur Ruben Östlund plenty of times here at The Comedy Bureau. He is one a handful of directors that really extoll high artistry in the realm of comedy on film. The trio of works, Force Majeure, The Square, and Östlund’s latest, Triangle of Sadness simultaneously are some of the funniest movies we’ve seen on this side of the millennium and profoundly moving and prodding works of cultural dissection.

Of course, it just stands to reason that Ruben ought to get his own retrospective at American Cinematheque. On Sun. Jan. 8th, The Los Feliz 3 will host such a thing with Ruben Östlund himself, in person, introducing each screening. A run of four films will include Luis Buñuel’s Viridiana at 1PM, then The Square at 3:15PM, an American Cinematheque members only screening of Triangle of Sadness (w/Q&A featuring Dolly de Leon and Bill Hader) at 6:30PM, and Force Majeure at 10PM.

Tickets for non-members are $15 per screening, but it all seems worth it in our opinion (fingers crossed that you’ve finished all your holiday shopping already).

Pack Theater Moving Two Blocks Down Santa Monica Blvd to Broadwater (and Are Taking Submissions for Show Ideas)

News
broadwater, los angeles comedy, pack theater

The ripple effects of the pandemic are still strongly reverberating and places and things are still closing despite making it through multiple years of having to stay closed or operating at fraction of their normal capacity (and income). The Complex on Santa Monica Blvd, which has provided a great point of access for small scale theatrical productions for several years now, is unfortunately closing its doors because of the unfortunate changing tides of real estate development in Los Angeles.

The Complex just happens to be the home of one of LA’s most fiercely independent theaters/troupes/schools/brands, The Pack Theater. Founded by legendary improviser Miles Stroth, The Pack has provided a stage for comedy folks seeking to do something between lines and disciplines within comedy and grown a community all unto itself over of the years because of that inclusive spirit.

Thankfully, The Pack Theater will not have to come to an end due to the closure of The Complex and will not even be relocating that far here in LA. In 2023, The Broadwater, which has its own collection of black box theaters, will be the new home of The Pack just two blocks away from The Pack’s original location. So, you’ll probably be aiming to get the same loading zone spots in trying to get to shows at The Pack next year.

This new era of The Pack is also taking submissions for live shows and have even made it quick and easy submission form here to fill out if you’re aiming to put something up there.

The network TV axe is so very bloody these days. Not only are shows getting cut after a season, but shows that were renewed are having their fate reversed and consequently canceled. So, you’d figure that means more produced pilots are even less likely to make it to series than they were even a year ago.

Thankfully, the podcast Dead Pilots Society has returned for the first live LA show to make sure that some of these things actually see the light of day and are enjoyed by an actual audience. This edition of Dead Pilots Society will live read the first three episodes of a Brooks Wheelan pilot that were commissioned by Fox, but, as you can guess, never went beyond that.

There’s an amazing cast they’ve lined up for this live reading that will include:

  • Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric)
  • Bobby Moynihan (SNL)
  • Alyssa Limperis (Flatbush Misdemeanors)

Pulling the curtain back here a bit, we’re not huge fans of the holiday seasons. The non-stop mandatory cheer and the slowing down of all things doesn’t sit with us well and makes December more of a month to get through.

Thus, something called “The 10 Year Anniversary of the 2012 Apocalypse” is much more our vibe and thankfully that’s both an actual thing that’s happening and it’s just a very jam packed variety show/party full of great LA indie comedy, music, puppets, last-kiss-of-your-life kissing booth, etc.

Girl God
The Odd Advantage

Chad Damiani
Emily Browning
