In under a year’s time, The Elysian has made waves in the LA comedy scene and has become a hub for so many weird and wonderful folks that were scattered to the many winds of comedy when 2020 reared its grotesque head.

Now, they’re making another big mark on the scene by throwing their very own festival that will specifically “serve as a springboard for underrepresented creators and unusual work.” The Elysian’s First Festival will happen over ten nights from Oct. 20th-30th and is really open to lots of wild ideas, even if they’re not strictly comedy.

If you get picked, you’ll get a very nice neat package to help you develop the sweet idea you had for the festival including:

– A night at the Elysian
– A $500 production stipend
– Creative development support through a mentor from the Elysian community
– Promotional support, including headshots, graphic design support, and a professional recording of your show
– Tech support, including a full three hour tech rehearsal
– Free admission to the other shows in the festival
– Some kinda Fest swag

The deadline is Mon. Jun. 20th at midnight PT and you can potentially be part of the Elysian’s First Festival by submitting here.

LA has had a penchant for doing comedy shows in odd places for decades, long before any sort of pandemic reached the county line.

One of those spots was the famed adult toy store, The Pleasure Chest, that featured the bi-weekly delight known as Performance Anxiety, hosted by Eli Olsberg. The last Performance Anxiety that was on the books was on Mar. 10, 2020 and it has been so long since that time that we forgot to see if it might even come back or if there would ever be anything to happen live and in person back at The Pleasure Chest.

Thankfully, it’s another thing that is confidently coming back to this side of the pandemic on Tues. Apr. 26th at 8PM PT (with the same nice price that they had in 2020, $7) and the same sort of fantastic line-up of comics surrounded by a bunch of sex toys and accessories.

This very first post-lockdown Performance Anxiety will feature the likes of Adam Conover, Joe Mande, River Butcher, Blair Socci, Hampton Yount, Dana Donnelly, and Subhah Agarwal.

Go get your tickets right now right here for one of the kinkier comedy shows that you’ll ever go to.

Pick of the Day: Sweet Lorraine with Jordan Temple (in LA) 5/14

elysian, jordan temple, los angeles, solo show, sweet lorraine

OK, if you don’t already know the name Jordan Temple, you really ought to commit it to memory. As both a stand-up and a writer (of so many different types), he has set himself apart with one-of-a-kind voice that is subtle, introspective, wildly imaginative, and so powerfully funny.

For one, Temple has been writing on Atlanta, but he also wrote a play based off the awards season flub of Hidden Fences that was one of the most hysterical stage productions we’ve seen in years.

So, Jordan is embarking on a solo show, Sweet Lorraine, that celebrates the life of his grandmother, Lorraine, and, given his resume, it should be something wholly affecting and very special.

Don’t miss out on Jordan putting it up at The Elysian on Sat. May 14th at 8PM PT. Tickets are $16 and you can (and very much should) go get ’em here.

Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen, arguably LA’s most venerable weekly comedy show, was supposed to come back some weeks ago, but, due to the variants, continued to postpone their return like so many other live events around town.

We were so excited to return to the Virgil and post up in the back, resting on the prickly back door that opens up into the show room and watch Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal lead off many of LA and elsewhere’s best and brightest in comedy, famous and needing-to-be-discovered, classic stand-ups and bonkers weirdos. Also, we can’t wait to see how Kurt and Kristen incorporate the pandemic rat from the Hot Tub live-stream into the in-person show.

So, we’re thrilled, yet again, to say that Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler & Kristen Schaal is returning (again, we hope) to The Virgil on Mon. Feb. 28th at 8PM PT sharp. Tickets and line-up to come soon! Follow @hottub_show on Twitter and IG for updates (and to make sure you snag tickets before they inevitably sell out.

When it comes to musical comedy, especially in LA, it’s harder to have much more fun than you can have with the sweet harmonies and pure absurdity of The Cooties. Ethan Edenburg, Eric Jackowitz, and Jacob Jeffries together make up for such a subversive power pop trio that we’ve enjoyed so thoroughly throughout the years, whether it be on stage or when going through their music video collection for the umpteenth time.

Thank goodness that they’ve got an in-person performance lined-up this very week that you can catch over at Tom Bergin’s Public House on Fairfax where they’ve hand a solid Thursday stand-up show for just over a year now.

Tickets are only $5 and we strongly believe it might be one of the best ways to spend your Friday night this week. Go get your tickets right here right now.

Last time John Mulaney did his run of work in progress shows over at the Troubadour, they sold out pretty much immediately. That was well over two week of shows and tickets were all snapped up before you could really find out that Mulaney was even in LA.

Now, he’s set to play a much, much MUCH bigger venue, The Terrace Theater at the Long Beach Convention Center and has three dates lined up. Well, two of them are already sold out, but a third date was just added on Fri. Dec. 10th at 7PM PT. Do take note that show is almost sold out too and the starting price of $69 hasn’t deterred folks from getting tickets ASAP.

So, don’t waste any more time and go get tickets right this instant to see Mulaney live with From Scratch in LA while you still can.

Pick of the Day: Incel Fest (in LA) 10/16

comedy show, la comedy, los angeles

So much of live comedy right now has been stand-up comedy, primarily as it was one of the easier types of live performance to pull in regards to COVID-19. That said, for much of the time that stand-up comedy has been inching its way back, there’s a lot of amazing improv, sketch, character folks that has been hanging in limbo.

Thankfully, with vaccination mandates in place, there’s a bit more of a window to do more sorts of comedy including some of the stranger, hysterical, category-defying things as will very likely be done at this weekend’s Incel Fest in Hollywood.

Ryan Asher & Jordan Cohen are assembling a lot of LAs funniest, best weirdos for a “demented night” of comedy (where, in truth, there will probably be zero incels and mostly just ingenious bits and characters). Still, Mike O’Brien, Scott Egleston, Annie Paradis, Annie Weis, Danny Sellers, Sam Walt Jones, and System of a Dong should make Incel Fest a night seared into your brain for how wild (and hilarious) it will be.

Incel Fest is happening at the theater space at 1312 N. Wilton this Sat. Oct. 16th at 7:30PM PT. Tickets are $15 and we think you better go snag yours fast.

Los Angeles Officially Marks 8/18 as Brody Stevens Day

August 25, 2021

News

brody stevens, brody stevens day, los angeles

(via Jewish Journal)

This week, Aug. 18th or, more appropriately 8/18, was designated by the City of Los Angeles as Brody Stevens Day to honor the late comedian for what he meant to both LA and comedy itself.

Of course, one of Brody’s many many catchphrases was “818 ’til I die!” a reference to being born and raised in the Valley and its area code being 818; thus 8/18 was the day picked to honor Stevens’ memory.

The very special, undeniable positivity and energy that Brody brought to the stage was a true phenomenon, unmatched by anyone that we’ve ever seen in our tenure watching comedy at TCB. That’s part of the reason why so many comedians and die hard fans alike would always make sure to watch Brody go up and run through his catchphrases or compare mental health prescriptions with audience members or mention that he was in The Hangover or do his one-of-a-kind warm-up for TV tapings or just simply drum on a chair.

The other reason is that his positive energy was infectious and it was something that you always just wanted to be around.

Brody’s horrifically tragic passing by suicide took Brody from this mortal coil, but his spirit very, very much lives on (even in just people’s utterances of YES! in Brody’s cadence).

So, going forward from this moment, don’t forget 8/18 each and every year to pay your respects to Brody (and probably do your very own impression of him) and, every day, to ENJOY IT!

anti racism, junior high, los angeles

As venues are shaking off their dust to reopen their doors for performances in the not so distant future, it is and will be important to leave all the toxic practices that ran rampant through live performances of all kinds behind, especially when it comes to comedy.

So, the good folks at the all-inclusive community arts and performance space, Junior High, have lined-up a very special seminar designed specifically for venues/bookers and how to work anti-racism in their daily operations and booking.

Specifically:

Hosted by Ida Yalzedeh, PhD, this seminar will take an abolitionist and historically-minded approach.

Topics will include:
— Police independent responses
— Racial bias in booking + curation
— De-escalation + conflict mediation

You don’t have to look too hard to find instances in comedy throughout its entire history where these issues were more than applicable and could have used some more enlightenment and grace.

The seminar is set to go live on Zoom at June 8th at 12PM PT/3PM ET and run for four hours. NOTE: Please reach out (contact@juniorhighlosangeles.com) if you’d like to participate but the ticket price is out of budget — we [Junior High] understand the financial hardships venues are facing and our priority is making Los Angeles a safer and more equitable place.

Get more details/book your slot here.

Many of the drive-in events in LA, especially as relate to comedy have been on the outskirts of town (or on the outskirts of LA county or beyond). Thankfully, there are pop-up, drive-in events that are coming around to the actual Los Angeles proper, one of which is four nights of the critically acclaimed, award winning series The Marvel Mrs. Maisel at The Grove.

The period piece comedy that follows the rise of Midge Maisel as a comedian in the sixties, since its series premiere, has garnered so much praise and effectively been the face of Amazon Prime’s original comedy slate.

From Thu. Aug. 20th-Sun. Aug. 23rd at 8:30PM, The Grove, in collaboration with Street Food Cinema, will have a drive-in screening of season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, two episodes per night. You can buy tickets/reserve your spot here (they’re sold out right now, but we’d urge you to keep checking throughout the week to see if they release tickets).

For the past few months, Los Angeles’ Department of Cultural Affairs has been issuing grants for various art programs and organizations specifically affected by COVID-19. As of this week, they’re now opening up this fund that was initially earmarked from public arts events that, of course, can’t happen the way they were originally conceived.

$340K has been set aside for this specific initiative, awarded to individuals at up to a one-time grant of $1500, “must be willing to make their artworks and services available through real-time, virtual and online platforms, and in some instances the artwork may appear in a physical public space.”

The breadth of who can apply is pretty wide (and definitely can include comedy in so many ways). They’re looking for submissions from “any person who works greater than quarter-time for income as a creative producer (actor, animator, craft-maker, designer, dancer, DJ, literary writer, musician, painter, poet, photographer, playwright, sculptor, videographer, etc.)”.

Netflix Is a Joke Fest Is Cancelled for 2020

comedy festival, los angeles, netflix, netflix is a joke, netflix is a joke fest

It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion than any sort of big festival that had been slated for most of 2020 is getting cancelled or, at best, postponed to 2021. That includes the inaugural run of Netflix’s big time comedy festival Netflix Is a Joke Fest that was going to be one of the notable comedy events that Los Angeles was going to be home to in quite some time.

Originally, Netflix Is a Joke Fest was going to happen just over a month after lockdown went into effect in Los Angeles. Then, it was postponed for later this year without very many other details. Now, as LA has suddenly turned into a hot spot for COVID-19, the streaming giant announced their decision to nix the festival entirely on this go around. Full refunds will be issued unlike other major festivals that have cancelled like SXSW, but as to what else might happen with Netflix Is a Joke Fest is a mystery at this point.

In fact, Netflix added in their announcement, “We will come back with something extra special, but until then, please stay safe.”

For the rest of the 2020 for comedy in LA, there are some shows that are lined up in October, but it’s best to think of those as tentative at this point.

Los Angeles’ Department of Cultural Affairs, in normal times, has money earmarked to fund live events and performances. As that’s still not happening in full effect for awhile, they have transitioned a lot of those funds into multiple rounds of artist/theater relief.

This latest round of funding goes towards theaters and theater businesses in District 2, which mostly covers North Hollywood and Studio City. As both partial relief and funding, “stimulation contracts” of $8ooo will be offered to create and foster online experiences as the safer-at-home order is still in place in LA county. The deadline to apply is Jun. 12th.

More specifically:

-Funds may be used for rent, salaries, artist fees, videography, marketing, website administration, and related costs to be incurred between July 1 and August 31, 2020.

-Only one (1) application may be submitted by each theater business.

-Eligible theater businesses with fewer than 50 paid annual workers (including proprietors, salaried employees, and independent contractors) are encouraged to apply below.

Plenty of comedy and comedy adjacent venues definitely fit into these parameters and we can only hope more relief is coming all around the county and the Greater LA Area.

In addition to great comedy livestream benefits that are happening like Comedy Quarantine and King Lear From Home or a GoFundMe for venue staff at Lyric Hyperion, a Google Doc has been assembled for comedians and comedy folks in LA that are financially affected the most as nearly all live, in-person entertainment has effectively shuddered for the coming weeks.

Per the doc:

What is this: Comedians rely on live performances to make their living, and many comedians are losing or canceling paid work due to covid-19 and CDC recommendations. There are other ways to support your favorite comedians – many of them have merch, albums, or skills that can be booked that don’t require seeing them in person (notes on scripts, graphic design, etc!).
