absurdist comedy, clowning, comedy shows, dr brown, live comedy, los angeles, sam simmons

Two of the most critically acclaimed absurdist comedians in the world, Dr. Brown and Sam Simmons, join up together again to do one of their most absurd shows, Ceremony at Silverlake’s Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe.

Rather than try to explain how the show might be a postmodern dissection of the Western notion of what ‘ceremony’ is, means, and enacted, we’ll just tell you that Ceremony is damn funny and has a advisory warning of containing nudity. 

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Get your advance tickets here.

The show that has comedians following the most heart wrenching videos on the Internet is back. 

Follow That! really does play a video that is almost perfectly designed to make you cry and has stand-up comedians see what they can do immediately afterwards. 

It may sound cruel and unusual, but, as far as we have seen thus far, it has been a hell of a good time.

Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at door. Get your advance tickets here.

Josh Fadem and Brent Weinbach, two comedians that are mastered in the art of being silly, will “lead” a “forum” on art. We’re not sure exactly how that’ll manifest, but we’re excited for whatever that will end up being. 

Also, Ron Funches and Dan Mintz from Bob’s Burgers are just a few of their guests.

Tickets will be available at the door.

Esteemed members of The Pack Theater pondered what it would be like if the beloved cartoon franchise Yogi Bear got the grim live action treatment.

They pondered so much that they came up with an actual screenplay called Jellystone and staged a live reading of their Yogi Bear movie that got so dark it became silly again.

They’re doing another live reading this Friday, July 7th at 9PM at The Pack Theater and you really ought to catch it before, perhaps, it actually gets made into a movie (or a faux trailer for a movie).

Admission is pay what you can and you can get more details here.

Arguments and Grievances, the comedy debate podcast, is a great reminder that free speech in America allows for us to have heated discourse over such “essential” topics like “you’re crazy” vs. “no, you’re crazy” or 420 vs. 69.

Their latest show in LA will be free and at one of our favorite venues, The Virgil at the end of this month.

If you’re anti-Trump, you ought to know that one of the groups leading the charge is the Democratic Socialists of America.

The DSA is a volunteer activist organization that does a bunch of good shit around town like drive low-income women to abortion clinics, confront politicians who are cool with families being destroyed by deportation, or fight to get our City Council to stop investing money with banks that fund the Dakota Access Pipeline.

They’re throwing a comedy show fundraiser for their LA chapter and they’ve rustled up a damn fine line-up. 

You can come watch the show at Nerdmelt in the back room of Meltdown Comics and they’re just asking for a $20 suggested donation. Get more details here.
