Pick of the Day: Picture This! Anniversaries (in NYC & LA) 4/30 & 5/ 21

It has been both 10 years and 6 years for one of the most innovative live comedy shows out there today, Picture This!

Combining the best artists in animation with the best comedians, Picture This! has brought us so many unforgettable stories that are punctuated with the drawings of cats, genitalia, and actual illustrations of a story that was being told.

It has been 10 years since it became a regularly recurring show in LA thanks to Naked Comedy and host Brandie Posey and 6 years in Brooklyn out in NYC (also thanks to Naked Comedy). They’ll be celebrating both anniversaries with shows respectively at Union Hall on Sat. Apr. 30th at 7PM ET and Permanent Records Roadhouse on Sat. May 21st at 7:30PM PT.

Per usual, they’ve gathered the best of both worlds in animation and comedy with :

(for NYC)

Comedy from : Spike Einbinder, Julia Shiplett, Sam Taggart, Karolena Theresa, Rob Haze, Anthony Atamanuik

Artists: Bryan Brinkman, Chrissy Fellmeth, Jerald Lewis II, Dima Drjuchin, Dan Pinto, Ray Alma

(for LA)

Comedy from: Joel Kim Booster, Atsuko Okatsuka, Greta Titelman, Mo Welch, Brian Bahe

First off, there’s a National Cartoonist Society Festival happening down in Huntington Beach this month. Already, that’s something that should highly peak your interest as it will be a big shindig for comics and cartoons (plus a zombie walk).

On top of that, there will be one of our favorite concept shows, Picture This!, down in the OC for a special free, pop-up show in, perhaps, the perfect setting

They’ve got many of their favorites and stalwarts of the show coming down from LA to Huntington Beach and it’s your chance to see if you’ve avoided making the trek to The Virgil in Silverlake over the last few years.

Get more details here.

For over half a decade, comedians and animators have met in a comedy venue to tango and create some of the most spectacular, haunting, and hysterical images to be described in real time for Picture This!.

Let’s all celebrate that by going to their 6 Year Anniversary show next weekend! Get more details here.

Not only is the great live animated stand-up show, Picture This! back for their first show of 2018, but they are, for the first time, having improv that will be also animated live from some of the best in town (Wild Horses-Lauren Lapkus, Mary Holland, Stephanie Allynne & Erin Whitehead).

You’re not going to want to miss this. In fact, you might want to show up before the door time if you want to get a seat.
