Of this era, Steve Hernandez is one of a very select handful names synonymous with LA comedy. As such, he’s well overdue for a debut special, which is coming next week in the form of Fat! Mexican! Queer? We get into the nitty gritty of how Steve not only built this hour, but capturing his entire ascent through the Los Angeles comedy scene not only as a bi-poly-queer Mexican comedian, but the man behind one of LA’s most revered rooms, The Chatterbox in West Covina.

Follow Steve @hernia on IG and watch his Spesh! special Fat! Mexican! Queer? on YouTube 10/28 @ 12PM.

If you somehow don’t know where Frogtown is in LA, you best learn already. Not only is that the home to one of the LA comedy’s newest and brightest shining venues, The Elysian, but, as of this Friday, it’ll be the new neighborhood of Little Secret. Born in between the cracks of Netflix Valley in Hollywood, Little Secret is getting a bigger space that will be a little more free (which is kind of unbelievable if you’ve ever been to Little Secret before).

As part of setting foot in their new home, No Storage Productions will be premiering their new queer comedy short “Open Up” as well as throwing a marvelous little comedy show. The comedy stylings of Taylor Ortega, Rachel Pegram, Sarah Schauer, Madi Hart, and Rishi Mahesh will be on display all leading into the very first an afterparty at the new Little Secret.

Tickets are available for $5-$15 donation here or at the door. Get more info/tickets/etc. here.

Whether it be his stand-up, a play, his exquisite piano skills, painting on pics of the GOP to make them into drag queens, you should get into whatever Daniel Webb is doing/being the ringleader for.

So, we urge you to go to Parfait! “a monthly comedy play starring female and queer standups, laced with sketch, music, cartoons, and drag queens!”

For this inaugural show, they’ve got the likes of Maggie Maye, Kerri Lendo, Pete Zias, and Laurie Kilmartin (and Ramin Nazer as the house band).

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Go get them now here.
