After recently transplanting to LA, we’ve very much enjoyed Megan Gailey’s presence on the scene. Megan is a fantastic stand-up, but she also brings the worlds of comedy, feminism, and sports together quite nicely as well.

In fact, she’s putting on an entire show, Good Sport with Megan Gailey, this Saturday, July 22nd at UCB Franklin at 10PM where she takes on the world of sports from her very unfiltered, yet charming perspective. Her guests for this inaugural show will be Anthony Jeselnik, Mike Lawrence and Kara Klenk.

Tickets are $12 and you can (and really should) get them here.

Few explore the frontiers of silliness quite like Josh Fadem and Dicker Troy (Johnny Pemberton) and we think you would really regret any time the duo got together and reveled in their next level tomfoolery. 

So, with that in mind, get tickets to their next show, this Sunday at The Satellite with guests Eddie Pepitone, Nick Vatterott, Mike Lawrence, and Kate Berlant. They are $8 and you can (and really should) get them here.
