CHARLYNE YI & DAVE HORWITZ PRESENT: THE DEPARTED HEARTED

This is what happens when Charlyne Yi writes show descriptions unsupervised:

Join us, on a magical night of what-the-fuck-is-happening because we don’t even know what’s going to happen ourselves!”

THURS. MAY 12/UCB THEATRE/5919 FRANKLIN AVE HOLLYWOOD, CA/$5

Totally forgot to post this. You’ll love it! (Maybe!)

It was so much fun to do a live recording of this podcast. Finally, Jake and I got to act like retards in real life. The episode ran through a star-studded cast of hilarious guests, including Paul Danke, Paul Jay, Jen Goldberg,

OH, how I wish I was there for this, but there was too much awesome comedy for one person to handle, probably just like this podcast all rolled into one.

What’s a-Happening Down at the Nerdist Theater?

cheap, comedy shows, hollywood, los angeles, meltdown comics, what to do

Answer: almost too much.

If you thought the weekly installment of Meltdown with Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani was awesome, how about Dan Harmon’s Harmontown (he’s more than just the showrunner for Community), Battleship Pretension LIVE w/Kyle Kinane, and even a musical!?!?  Yes, it’s all happening at the Nerdist Theater.

It’s almost too much (emphasis on “almost”).

Remember all that money that you were going to spend on beer and snacks to have a party while rooting/hating the Lakers as they were going deep into the playoffs?  Yeah, you have plenty of it to spend on live comedy and the Super Serious Show is a great place to start.  

Pete Holmes and sketches from the Midnight Show alone will more than make up for Kobe and Gasol.  Seriously.  Get your tickets here.
