Per usual, there are plenty of options for New Year’s Eve if you’re opting to go out. Many of those options are incredibly expensive and, well, let’s just say, you might be better off buying a bottle of champagne and staying home and counting down to midnight yourself.

Thankfully, Ron Lynch, the long standing beloved host of Tomorrow! is coming in with, we think, the best bang for your buck with a special NYE’s edition. Yes, there will be the wide variety that you have come to know and love from Lynch and company, but this specific edition will include Reggie Watts, Laura Kightlinger, Freak Nature Puppets, Sethward, Nick Stargu, The Unkillable Jenny Lynne, Kristen Lundberg, and 3-D Space Film all at the one and only Bob Baker Marionette Theater (featuring, of course, the Bob Baker Marionettes).

Ron Lynch’s Tomorrow NYE is set for Sun. 12/31 at 10PM. All this show will only run you $23, which is truly a steal on NYE (leaving plenty of money for you to spend on overpriced Lyft/Ubers). Go get tix here.

Tickets for Pregame! are only $15.54 (versus some of the close to triple figure admission fees you might right into elsewhere in town) and you really ought to get in on this deal here.

There are plenty of options for the Greater LA Area that will very likely run you more than a few pretty pennies and mostly be people get drunk while music is played very loud up until a countdown for New Year’s somewhere in the world.

Let Comedy Resolve to Stand Up For Itself in 2014 Like Natasha Leggero

Let Comedy Resolve to Stand Up For Itself in 2014 Like Natasha Leggero

For the sake of several people on the Internet looking for a reason to be outraged, so many comedians were coerced into publicly apologizing last year. Maybe some cases were called for and other ones were certainly blown way out of proportion and taken out of context (a mortal enemy of comedy).

Over a New Year’s Eve special, Natasha Leggero made a joke about American veterans and received a lot of criticism from it, but, thankfully stood up for her joke, which was, as you should hear a lot today, pretty harmless (and pretty great).

We can only hope that more comedians will stand firm with their jokes in 2014 so long as they really aren’t using comedy as a veil for bigotry, which definitely was not the case here.
