By now, thanks to some viral posts and memes, you’ve probably heard of the general concept of a doppelgänger. 

Yet, have you seen, or even heard a case of real life doppelgänger? We’re going to bet probably not (or if you have, it’s probably a stretch). 

In any case, you should catch the doppelgänger voices of comedians Jackie Kashian and Ophira Eisenberg this week co-doing this “Vocal Doppelgänger” show at Nerdmelt. 

Get your tickets here.

Basically, Follow That! pits comedians into having to follow the screening of heart wrenching, highly emotional videos. The emotional roller coaster that you go on combined with the inevitable curiosity that you’ll have to see what a comic will do after seeing a tearjerker is indeed pretty great.

The next edition of Follow That! is set for the end of this month and you can (and should) get your tickets here.

The non-stop delight that is Matt McCarthy loves wresting so much that he not only wrote an extended chunk on the virtues of being a pro wrestling fan, but he recorded a vinyl album just to have that bit shared with the world.

One of the most revered weekly stand-up shows in the country, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, ended its 6 year run last month, which included three seasons as a TV series on Comedy Central.

Naturally, the 8:30PM slot at Nerdmelt where Meltdown took place was going to be filled in by something given Meltdown’s status as a flagship show at the theater.

In two weeks, you will all have a very exciting and worthy show filling in with Rabbit Hole with Jay Larson and Rory Scovel produced by Nerdmelt’s Caitlin Durante. Larson and Scovel are two of our favorites and this show will be in good hands as you can see with our thoughts on Jay’s recent album Human Math and Scovel’s latest Conan set. 

In the inaugural show, Kate Berlant, Todd Glass, Bridey Elliott, Joe Mande, Baron Vaughn, and a surprise guest will be performing. It should go without saying that it’ll be a hell of a show and something that will get us all through the next few years and beyond. 

Tickets are $10 and are available now here. 

You can keep up with Rabbit Hole on @therabbitholela on Twitter, @therabbitholela on Instagram, and on Facebook.

Just like millions of other people are doing and will be doing, comedy will be doing its part to keep as many vulnerable people safe as possible. This Hell Toupee: An ACLU Benefit, which should be a hell of a show too (in the colloquial-good-way), is just the start of that.

Without a question, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail are going out on top. 

It was widely agreed as one of the best live comedy shows in the country and got to do three seasons as a TV series on Comedy Central. Certainly, we feel privileged seeing the show from the very start grow into this beautiful, undeniable institution in the LA comedy scene. 

“After six years of putting our blood, sweat, and urine into a live show every Wednesday, we have decided that it’s time to hang up our spurs on The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail. When we started this thing in 2010, we only wanted a fun place to do comedy and hang out with our friends.”  
-Jonah/Kumail/Emily/Ed

We know there’s still more than a few weeks to go, but we still salute you Meltdown.

Their last show is on October 19th and you can find out more details here.
