2018 recap, boast rattle, k town, macarthur park, positivity, westlake

The beloved compliment contest, Boast Rattle, is attempting something even more grandiose than trying to joke about another comedian in a positive light: joking about 2018 in a positive light.

It’s perfectly named: Boast Rattle Presents: Was It Really That Bad?

There’s an amazing line-up that will attempt this near impossible feat (in case you didn’t know, 2018 was another heap of trash on fire like 2016 and 2017) and might be the best way to close out 2018.

Tickets are $10 right now and $15 at the door. Go get advance tickets here.
