comedy shows, east hollywood, emily maya mills, los angeles, puterbaugh sisters, storytelling, we still like you

We Still Like You is a special kind of storytelling show that has all their guests share tales that don’t paint them in the best light. That’s followed along with live illustration and makes for a wondrous, cathartic night capped off with the whole room shouting “We still like you!” after each story.

The Puterbaugh Sisters, Emily Maya Mills, Dan Sheehan, Keith Carey, Goodrich Gevaart, Alice Walton, and hosts Evan Wood and Andy Sell will all bare their souls, warts and all on Saturday October 15th at 9:30PM.

Oh, also, this is one of those cool house shows you might have heard about and this is definitely one of the ones you need to check out.
