The overwhelming majority of what you can see at the legendary Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip is some of the biggest names and the up-and-comers nipping at their heels doing stand-up. That said, there are things that a little offbeat that happen upstairs in The Belly Room such as an entire family style dinner/comedy talk show that the one and only Full House star Jodie Sweetin hosts.

Each comedian on the line-up brings their very own dish to share and enjoy (or, conversely, be curious about?), which provides for the wondrous experience of getting all the fun of a chaotic family dinner, but not having to deal with your very own family. This round of Family Dinner with Jodie Sweetin is set for Sat. Mar. 11th at 8PM at The Comedy Store with comedians LA scene favorite Rob Haze, director of Comedy Store docu-series Mike Binder, and delightful comedy multi-hypehate Vanessa Guerrero.

Tix are $15 (plus 2 drink min.) and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

Pick of the Day: Good Heroin with Lindsay Adams and Rob Haze (in LA) 7/16

Good Heroin is and has been one of the very best weekly stand-up shows in LA for a very long time. Saturdays at the back patio of Stories has been a destination for comedy fans far and wide as well as those Eastside denizens looking for a splendid evening without having to go too far.

For a good run of the show’s history as a LA comedy staple, it was dutifully hosted by Dave Ross and Matt Ingebretson. When Ingebretson got swept away in the wonderfully dark Corporate on Comedy Central, which he co-created and co-starred in, Dave took on hosting duties solely. In the past several months, Dave has been bi-coastal and sharing hosting duties and the mantle to Good Heroin with LA comedy’s favorite reformed mean girl, Lindsay Adams.

Since Dave has made an official move to NYC, he has officially handed off and kept the Good Heroin name alive with faith placed in its two new co-hosting duo, the aforementioned Lindsay Adams and LA transplant and one of comedy’s most clever minds, Rob Haze. This coming Saturday, Jul. 16th marks Lindsay and Rob’s first Good Heroin (where Rob wasn’t kept as a secret to be revealed) and a start to new era of one of LA’s comedy cornerstone shows.

So, if it being great, free stand-up (w/Jackie Kashian, Jenny Zigrino, Nori Reed, Morgan Jay, Michelle Biloon, Rob Smallwood for 7/16) on a Saturday night at 8 wasn’t enough for you to come down to 1716 Sunset Blvd., we hope this historical moment will be enough to convince you to go (and subsequently keep coming back) to Good Heroin.

They’ll be celebrating both anniversaries with shows respectively at Union Hall on Sat. Apr. 30th at 7PM ET and Permanent Records Roadhouse on Sat. May 21st at 7:30PM PT.

Though progress has been made for racial equity and meaningful representation for BIPOC, there is still a ways to go in that regard. Next Thursday, Sept. 24th at 6PM PT/9PM ET is a good chance to keep moving the needle forward with the Ladies of Comedy Association’s fundraiser for black performers via a BIPOC specific fund at Comedy Gives Back, an organization dedicated to bettering the lives of comedians, a group that historically doesn’t do well looking after themselves.

Slated to perform at noted virtual venue, Nowhere Comedy Club, is a stellar line-up critically acclaimed and rising star comedians including Janelle James, Dewayne Perkins, Calise Hawkins, Rob Haze, and host Franqi French.

Tickets are ranging from $20 to $500 and you can (and should) go get them here now.
