We sincerely, sincerely hope that you’ve seen Rory Scovel: Live Without Fear, the amazing documentary comedy special that captured the very special lightning in a bottle that comes with so many Scovel performances, especially if he’s improvising the whole thing.

If you haven’t, we then hope you’ve at least caught some of Rory mixing whimsy and complete honesty in the moment in person over the last several years. For us, watching Rory is always something revelatory and hysterical and we very much don’t miss any chance we have to go watch him live.

With that in mind, Rory will be doing a very special, exclusive, improvised stand-up performance at Largo at the Coronet Theatre on Mon. Sept. 20th at 8PM PT. In case it wasn’t clear already, clear out that night and make sure you go to this. Tickets are $46 (includes service charge) and you best go get them here before they sell out.

As an example, here’s one of our favorite sets of his from The Super Serious Show in January of last year where TJ checked himself with a “riffing leash” then when on to riff on a ‘coked up Thomas Edison".

This Better Be Funny Ep. 75 with James Austin Johnson

This Better Be Funny

Making their way back to Sabor y Cultura, the site of the first episode of This Better Be Funny, Jake and Jeremy enjoy all the hijinks and riffs with the awesome James Austin Johnson, a very funny comedian that has thankfully relocated from Nashville, TN to LA. They go through what Johnson describes as “wes-ing”, the latest (maybe) Wes Anderson meme, getting into an in-depth argument about The Pink Panther, cartoon vs. Peter Sellers, harmonizing with Trapped in the Closet, and a whole bunch more tangential fun.
