This is a fantastic line-up that’s gathered to raise money for The Center at Blessed Sacrament an organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Hollywood.
FYI, All the proceeds go to The Center.
Please get your tickets here.

Just so you know, banner ads, which we’ve had for years, make us almost no money. We’re doing this Patreon campaign so that won’t be an issue and we could have the full-time-job-amount-of-time we put into TCB pay like a full time job. So, if you can, please pledge $.
Oh, just in case you didn’t know, by “we”, “we” mean pretty much just one guy, Jake Kroeger.
Not only will this be a screening of the classic film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but there will be a light show, quote-along captions, a costume contest, and a very apropos helping of garlic bread. If you’ve ever been to one of those fan obsessed screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show or The Big Lebowski, you know what you might be in for.
You can (and really should) get tickets here.
So far, we’ve got 10% of our goal to make a full fledged app for The Comedy Bureau. If you’re one of the dozens upon dozens of folks that really do want to a TCB app, it’s not out of your reach to have it happen.
We’re at $436 pledged monthly and our app goal is set at $4000. Pledge here.
Scot Nery’s Boobie Trap, one of LA’s premier circus/variety/comedy shows for years is moving on up, literally, to Hollywood. For quite some time they were at Club Fais Do Do and they’re now making their new home at King King (6655 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA).
Starting next week on June 28th, Boobie Trap will start its weekly run at King King every Wednesday. You can get tickets in advance for $17 and at the door for $25.
Also, as part of their move, they’ll be upping the ante with weekly videos from Scot learning (and possibly failing) new skills and tricks.
The rest of our listings for comedy shows, events, open mics, maps, and more can be found at www.thecomedybureau.com.
Rewards currently available for backing our Patreon include: stickers, enamel pins, exclusive access to tickets for TCB shows, TCB “ridealong”, and personal comedy scouting by us. If you’d want something else as a reward for supporting, let me know and I might just make it happen.
Basically, we’re here for you and we’d hope that you’d be here for us.
For our money, one of the best ways to catch the fantastic Jen Kirkman in LA is at her recurring show, Lab Test, at the Hollywood Improv Comedy Lab. True to the title, Jen throws new material into a crucible along with great special guests.
The next editions of Jen Kirkman Presents Lab Test are on Wednesday, June 28th & August 16th and tickets are only $5. Please get them here.

We could be a bigger, better, more sustainable Bureau if everyone who used our services pledged on Patreon (even $1).
We want to keep providing the same great resource that we have to both Los Angeles and comedy at large to the thousands of people who use our services. Pitching in on Patreon will not only make that happen, but so much more (app, branches elsewhere in the country, streamlining the current site, etc.)
If you’re into diving into seeing one of the shows at the Hollywood Fringe Festival going on right now, check out Lucia Brizzi’s Tony Robbins Netflix Special Special.
Basically, it’s an attempt at a self-help special by someone watched self-help magnate Tony Robbins, but clearly still needs help in their life. The result is a damn fun deconstruction of self-help that’s coming apart at its own seams.
They have one more engagement at the Hollywood Fringe this Saturday, June 24th at Three Clubs. Tickets are $12 and you can (and should) get them here.
The rest of our listings for comedy shows, events, open mics, maps, and more can be found at www.thecomedybureau.com.
If you want The Comedy Bureau to do better than having a desk off of Craigslist with electrical tape spelling out our name, please pledge $ to our Patreon.
Yep, we got this tanker desk for a “bit” that we did at Riot LA years ago and just ended up actually using it because that’s what our “budget” allows for. You can help us have a budget without quotation marks through Patreon.

Andy Daly has built a cavalcade of iconic characters throughout his comedy careers. Some of those characters are monstrous, but in a devilishly fun way.
So, Daly is doing a whole solo show Andy Daly: Monsters Take Your Questions where he takes questions as those very characters. We have no doubt Dalton Wilcox and Don DiMello fielding questions will be a hell of a good time.
Catch the show before it heads off to the Edinburgh Fringe this August. Tonight’s engagement is stand by only, but you can buy tickets for upcoming dates (Fri, Jun. 30th @ UCB Sunset 9:30PM and Thu. Jul. 6th @ UCB Franklin 9:30PM) at UCB here.

We’d love to make a Comedy Bureau app, a NYC branch of TCB, and more. Make that happen by pledging $ on our Patreon
Really, on top of being able to streamline our operation for Los Angeles to be its best self, we could also go global (i.e. have a Comedy Bureau for the UK, India, etc.) if we got enough money through Patreon.
If you dig us and what we do here at The Comedy Bureau, help us be bigger, better, and actually sustainable through pledging money on Patreon.
With your $ pledged on Patreon, you can assure that we can keep the lights on here at The Comedy Bureau, build an app, expand to other cities, etc. etc.
Also, you can get some pretty bitchin’ enamel pins.
Please consider becoming an esteemed patron of ours here.

On one level, Stories From Both Shoulders at The Comedy Central Stage (6539 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA) will be a night of some of LA’s best storytellers, Brian Finkelstein, Buck Ball, and Scott Schultz.
On another level, it’ll be a fun night where you’ll hear a story, as suggested by the show’s name, that will span the spectrum of being “good and, well, not so good”.
The show is at 8PM on Wednesday, June 21st. Tickets are free, but you do have to RSVP for them here.

At this point in time, you’ve probably heard how divided we are as a country ad nauseam over POTUS, healthcare, gun control, etc.
A nice solution or reprieve from that might be hear to comedians debate things that do not matter whatsoever like Dr. Dre vs. Dr. Seuss.
That is what the traveling comedy show and podcast Arguments & Grievances brings to the table and will be doing so next week at Nerdmelt with some of LA’s best.
Get your tickets here.

One of Our Favorite Venues in LA, The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe, Needs Help Via Indiegogo
One of Our Favorite Venues in LA, The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe, Needs Help Via Indiegogo
We spend a good deal of time at The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe as some of the best, most innovative shows in town often happen there (Dr. Brown, Natalie Palamides, Modern Vaudeville, Feel Good Podcast, Underbelly, etc.) as well as a healthy round of open mics that have really fostered a community within theater itself.
Recently, they’re in urgent need of repairs to the theater and are crowdfunding in order to cover the cost of said repairs.
Please consider helping them so they can continue putting on their amazing shows and continue to grow.
For one night only, Paul Mooney will be headlining The Comedy Store. No need for further explanation.
