Together, this format, which already sounds pretty promising, and this particular line-up should make for a great night of arguing, singing, and embarrassing nostalgia.

Los Angeles is losing The Steve Allen Theater, a theater that should be more near and dear to its heart for all the comedy, variety, music, magic, theater, curiosities, etc. that Trepany House has presented over the years.

The least you could do is catch the theater’s swan song, which will be a show packed to the gills with Trepany House’s all time favorites.

Tickets for general admission are $20 and VIP tickets are $50. Get them quick because they will probably sell out.

As the streaming service giant wheels and deals in Seinfelds, Rocks, and Chappelles, it’s pretty clear that Netflix has reorganized the pecking order in who gets what when it comes to their comedy specials.

Rest assured, the talent is clearly stacked here with Aparna, Kinane, Feinstein, Morin, Yashere, and List and you ought to go to the tapings happening on Sunday, November 5th and Monday, November 6th at Globe Theater in DTLA (RSVP for free tickets here).

Hayworth Theater To Be Revived as a Multi-Purpose Venue by “Dynasty Typewriter” and Former Hollywood Improv Booker Jamie Flam

Though LA is losing the Steve Allen Theater in a few weeks and Cinefamily is closed indefinitely pending an internal investigation of the extent of sexual harassment and assault, the city is gaining two new venues where primo comedy will get to live.

Yesterday, we tipped you off to the rebirth of Echoes. Today, we can tell you about the revival of The Hayworth Theater as restored classical theater (restoration done by building owners Jenji Kohan and Christopher Noxon architect Linda Brettler) near MacArthur Park that is aiming to bringing premium comedy, music, podcasts, variety shows, screenings, etc. to LA’s Eastside.

Thanks to Jamie Flam, a former booker of the Hollywood Improv and one of the most fun loving people we know, and his Wes-Anderson-esque fake company Dynasty Typewriter, a whole new wave of live shows is set to come in the next few months.

See Jamie tell you himself in this pretty swell Kickstarter video and read Julie Seabough’s write-up of the whole affair in LA Weekly.

Speaking of Kickstarter, “Dynasty Typewriter” is looking for $100K by November 16th to spend on A/V installation, operation costs for the first 3 months, and staffing via this Kickstarter campaign. Knowing what Jamie is capable of and having been to the space throughout the years, we definitely think it’s worth backing.

Join the Dynasty (and support what will be a great indie venue) here.
