The weather in LA’s a lot more reliable (fingers crossed) these days and, as such, one of LA’s coolest hidden gems, Little Secret, is getting things going again. Always seamlessly blending comedy, music, and social justice, Little Secret will be hosting a special benefit for Hollywood Food Coalition with Gift Horse Project called Pre-Pride Proud to Feed LA.

On the bill is astounding line-up of Margaret Cho, Nick Thune, Ashley Ray, Dylan Adler, Luke Rathborne, & Escape Artist Lovers along with Michael Imperioli, Rain Phoenix, Jena Malone, and Rooney Mara (and tunes from DJ Allie Teilz).

All that show can be enjoyed for only $16 right now and all proceeds go to Hollywood Food Coalition. Go get them here.

Before even acknowledging that its Pride Month, any time of the year is a great time of year to catch Sophie Santos‘ quest for queer dominance via her creation, The Lesbian Agenda. That said, it’s Pride and it’s an especially good time to go support great queer artists of every background, especially when it comes to live comedy.

The Lesbian Agenda has already taken over both coasts by firmly planting roots in NYC and LA, which is a pretty great start to cultural domination in the U.S.

In fact, there are upcoming dates for both cities with The Lesbian Agenda taking over The Bell House in Brooklyn on Mon. Jun. 13th and Dynasty Typewriter in LA on Tues. Jun. 28th, both at 7:30PM local time. Both have incredibly stacked, festival-worthy line-ups including:

NYC:
Ashley Gavin
Sirbaby Girl
Matt Rogers
Sabrina Wu
Julia Shiplett
Jess Henderson
Maya Deshmukh as Cara Delevingne
Che Diaz

Tickets are $15 and $20 respectively and you can (and very much should) go get them here and here.

Gay Rights Comedy “Pride” Playing in Russia

Apparently, it’s just got a really stern rating in the theaters where it’s playing.

While there are very many homophobic laws currently in place in Russia, the very funny Pride from last year is screening, apparently to favorable reception.

The film from last year tells the he story of gay activists in the U.K. joining forces with miners in the 80s and is a pitch perfect feel good period piece dramedy. Many pro-gay movies apparently get protested in Russia, but Pride hasn’t seen any protests yet.

We can only hope that is the start of trend in Russian cinemas.
