Thankfully, more and more comedy things are finding their way back to in-person happenings on this side of the pandemic. A LA comedy and indie film institution, Channel 101, had gone virtual and adapted even further to going for audio series during quarantine/lockdown. The long-standing completely indie-run, short form TV series was started by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab and has been a torch that has kept much of the most experimental and fiercely imaginative comedy and genre-bending programming that has ever been made.

Never forget that the roots of Rick & Morty started at Channel 101.

So, they’re finally having an in-person screening over at The Virgil on Sun. Jul. 31st with doors at 7PM, a departure from their back-to-back screenings at the Downtown Independent. Tickets are $5 and, as always, you, as part of the audience, will get decide what shows get renewed for another month or not.

By The Way, You Should Still Be Watching Channel 101

Our last post pointed to Channel 101 being the flashpoint for Rick and Morty.

That was years and years ago, but Channel 101 is still going strong, creating some of the most innovative, independent, experimental short form TV out there.

See for yourself with fan favorites Jason Gudasz’s surrealist sitcom Somewhere in Highland Park and David Seger, Davey Johnson, and Alex Kavutskiy’s meta attempt at a late night show, Late Tonight with Nick Burton.

Also, all of Channel 101 is archived for you to go down a deep, deep, weird, wondrous rabbit hole.

The era of parody police procedurals has seem to come to an end at Channel 101. However, there’s still plenty of absurdly great stuff like another episode of Kill The Baby.

Channel 101 was, until recently, dominated by such shows as Car Jumper, Fishbowls Are Definitely My Thing, and Skateboard Cop. Now, a new crop of shows which range from a new version of Toy Story to “self-ending” to making fun of all those millennials who do first person advice videos fill up the primetime line-up at Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab’s Channel 101.

Catch up/get acquainted/watch it all here.
