Dan Gill, David Venhuizen, and Colin McCormick have been putting together real slick line-ups for 3 years now at The Clubhouse for their show Idiots.

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.
Jesse Elias is a great stand-up comedian that you might have seen on Kimmel a couple of years ago. He also has a hidden talent for singing and has been known to break out into excerpts from musicals during shows.

This will also be one of the last performances to be held at Trepany House at The Steve Allen Theater by the way in case you needed another reason to go.
Tickets are $12 and you can (and really should) get them here.
