It’s no mystery that LA, along so many of its gorgeous, sun-soaked facets, is inherently and thoroughly ridiculous. That’s part of the reason that @OverheardLA is so popular on IG. If you’re not familiar, get ready to deep dive on the very real fringes of LA’s characters that we wish we’re just made up for a Groundlings or UCB showcase.

That said, Overheard LA is culminating their focus into a live show, an entire Roast of LA, hosted by NYC comedy’s Stef Dag. Of course, having a New Yorker preside over a roast of LA isn’t entirely fair, so they’re going to have Angelenos do it (including some of the funniest people in the Greater LA Area).

This Roast of LA, set for Wed. Dec. 13th at 8PM at The Bourbon Room, might even top Randy Newman’s LA anthem “I Love LA” actually being a low key diss track. Tickets start at $25 a pop (plus 2 item min.). Go get ’em here.

In case you forgot, June is Pride Month and only a few days away as of this post. As such, there is going to be an amazing wave of LGBTQIA+ comedy that could (and should) potentially take over all of next month for you.

One of those shows, in LA, will be Overheard LA x Truly joining forces for CHEERS TO QUEERS, an exclusive evening of queer comedy supporting long-standing queer org GLAAD. Set for the beginning of June on Sat. Jun. 3rd, the likes of queer comedy luminaries Zach Teague and Drew Lausch will be making that afternoon feel like a party worthy of the much later hours. Joining them will be wondrous queer comics from the LA scene including EJ Marcus, Teresa Lee, Pallavi Gunalan, Andrew Stier, and Mav Viola.

CHEERS TO QUEERS is set for 1PM on Sat. Jun. 3rd at Truly LA. Tickets are only $15 and that’ll get you admission to the show, two drinks, access to confessional booths, and the dance party following the show. Sounds like a pretty good deal to us. Go get ’em here.
