The comedy baseball mash-up phenomenon known as On Deck is having its “World Series”, just in time for a certain MLB World Series, with Megan Gailey’s Lucy Lucy Apple Juicys vs. Caitlin Weierhauser’s The Uncles. Both teams will be taking the stage together, trying to “smack” their punchlines/bits out of the park, one by one, making for a stand-up comedy experience like no other.

Join hosts/umpires Jamel Johnson, Courtney Karwal and Mike Mulloy to see who will the On Deck Commissioner’s Trophy. Tickets available here.

This Friday marks the last Faded to happen at Blue Rooster Art Supplies. That also means that the likes of stand-up baseball show On Deck and live tapings of hit podcast All Fantasy Everything are saying farewell to Blue Rooster too.

However, Faded Comedy has a brand new venue in Mid City Arts Center already lined-up along with a month’s worth of shows starting next week. That includes the aforementioned Faded, On Deck, All Fantasy Everything, and lovely backyard show High Priestess.

Tickets for all of ‘em are on sale now for just $10. Go get your tickets now right here!

Jeff Wysaki, under his alias of Obvious Plant, has been making splendid fake toys and signs for the delight of the Internet for quite some time now.

For the first time ever (if you’re in LA in March), you’ll be able to see the “obvious plants” in person at a pop-up exhibition Obvious Plant’s Museum of Toys in Mid-City at Start LA.

More than a hundred toys and games will be on display and most likely crowd your social media feeds for how subversively kitschy they all are. Opening night, which happens to be free, has already sold out, but you can attend on other days for $10 and each night offers something different.

Schedule is as follows:

March 2nd (12-9pm) Poorly Drawn Lines Pop-Up

One of our favorite Sunday stand-up show/cookout/hangs was the Golden Hour co-hosted by MK Paulsen and Kyle Berseth featuring Simon Gibson.

However, they had to go on hiatus for awhile because they lost out on their venue, even though it was a DIY, makeshift space made from a parking lot/loading dock.

We’ll, we’re happy to announce that Golden Hour is returning this Sunday, July 15th with the same great stand-up, free hot dogs, and basking under the LA sunset/dusk, but doing so in Mid-City at START LA (2266 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA).

The first line-up is a doozy with Daniel Rugg Webb, Maggie Maye, Sheng Wang, Megan Gailey, and Moses Storm on top of it being MK’s birthday.

So, make this your plans for this Sunday. Doors open at 7PM. Get more details here.
