The concept of time remains illusory as the pandemic continues, but, that’s still no excuse to not celebrate the anniversary of something, especially if it’s something forged out of the limitations thrust upon us by COVID-19.

Self Care Comedy is and has been the premier, virtual stand-up comedy showcase whether cases numbers were down or Delta and Omicron had arrived. This Tuesday, February 1st, Naked Comedy/Sam Varela will mark 1 year of being there for everyone who wanted to or had to stay in, for any reason, and give them a much needed relief in the form of virtual comedy from some of the absolute funniest people in comedy today.

To that point, joining Self-Care Comedy to mark their 1 year anniversary will be the beautiful comedy talents of Lizzy Cooperman, Brodie Reed, Max & Nicky, and Mike Hanford with host Sean Keane presiding over the evening’s festivities on Feb. 1st 7PM PT/10PM ET. As always, admission is free, but donations are encouraged as they will go directly to the comics performing. RSVP and donate here.

For most of 2020, we relied on @ComedyQuarantine on IG for a daily pick me up of a virtual stand-up show thanks to hosts Teresa Lee, Barbara Gray, Dominique Gelin, and producer Naked Comedy/Sam Varela.

Now, for 2021, you can look forward to another very solid and reliable daily stand-up show from Naked Comedy in Self Care Comedy, starting Mon. Feb. 1st at 7PM PT/10PM ET with another great round of hosts in DeAnne Smith, Christine Little, Anna Valenzuela, Sofiya Alexandra, and Sean Keane.

Monday-Friday, this Self Care Comedy crew will serve up some much needed daily relief in stand-up comedy with special guests on Zoom. A $10 donation is suggested for the show (doing a stand-up on all weeknights is such a big undertaking in case you didn’t know).

This brand new, weekly comedy game show, Hollywood Quars, hosted by Matt Lieb, takes trivia to a whole new level as both the contestants AND the host don’t know the answers to the questions (even when the host wrote them). It’s up to a really great line-up of comedians to make it seem like their answer is the best (or maybe even actually right?).

For this first edition of Hollywood Quars on Thurs. Jun. 4th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET, they’ve assembled:

Baron Vaughn (Netflix, Comedy Central)
Steph Tolev (Comedy Central)
Brandie Posey (Lady 2 Lady Podcast)
Sean Keane (Roundball Rock Podcast)
Caitlin Gill (NPR, 2 Dope Queens)
Madison Shepard (Album “Goodnight Silverlake Lounge”)
Jessica Sele (Vice TV)
Chris Estrada (Comedy Central)
Casey Ley (Gay Power Half Hour )

Also, we gotta say, having gotten a sneak peak, this very well might be one of the slickest looking comedy game shows done via live-stream.

By the way, they’ll be raising money for Minnesota Freedom Fund (which, due to so much support, is distributing funds to other worthy causes)

Tickets are $8 if you snag them right now and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

The Business is now set to mark an entire 10 years in the biz, hopping around the country (SF, LA, NYC) as a stalwart indie stand-up comedy show.

Come toast them and enjoy all their hosts and their absolute favorites in The Business current home, Little Joy in Echo Park.

Come join them, as always, for free this coming Monday. Get more info and updates @thebusinessla on Twitter and IG.

“Burn This Election” Will Be a 2016 Election Themed Comedy Album Supporting RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network)

There’s so much to love about this project called Burn This Election.

It’s a comedy album that will be recorded in a house featuring some of LA’s best comedians including Jackie Kashian, Dave Ross, Sean Keane, Kate Willett, and way more spitting fire, comedically, about this year’s election with all of the proceeds going to support the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the country, RAINN.

Yes, they did pick that group in response to the words and actions of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump.

We’re guessing that you’ll rarely get to see comedy delivered with such urgency in the intimacy of a house. Also, the album is set to drop on Election Day, which should be a nice palate cleanser to this nightmare of an election cycle.

The taping of the album will be hosted by Brandie Posey and is set for next week in a house in Hollywood on Wednesday, November 2nd at 8:30PM. Admission is free, but they’ll also be taking donations for RAINN as well.
