It’s free to attend and has Kevin Camia, Casey Ley, and Madison Shepard also performing, which gives you less of an excuse to not go.

Starting in April, Reggie Watts and The Band He Leads on “The Late Late Show” Will Be Playing El Cid Every Tuesday
So, you’re going to want make sure Tuesday nights are free.
The Late Late Show with James Corden premieres next Monday and with it, bandleader Reggie Watts has transplanted himself to Los Angeles after globetrotting anywhere and everywhere that people wanted to witness the comedic spells he casts.
We discovered last night while watching Reggie and the band for The Late Late Show that part of being transplanted and leading a band will be playing every Tuesday night starting in April (that would be Apr. 7th) at El Cid in Silverlake.
For over an hour, Reggie and his fantastic band jam and get silly, funky, and spread all sorts of other good vibes. Basically, like we said, you’re probably going to want to go to this a lot.
You can get a taste of that tonight as Reggie and the band are playing El Cid tonight 10PM.
Hot Tub to Celebrate Its One Year Anniversary in LA
Hot Tub to Celebrate Its One Year Anniversary in LA
One of the best live comedy shows in NYC (actually, the entire country) got up and transplanted itself to Los Angeles when Hot Tub with Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal landed at The Virgil every Monday, presented by our good friends and comedy behind the scenes extraordinaires Cleftclips, a year ago and it’s been one of the best things to happen to this city (as noted in our 100 Best Things in Comedy We Were Witness To In No Particular Order of 2013).
So, they’re marking their 1 year anniversary of being here in LA, which you shouldn’t miss on that fact alone. On top of that, the line-up is pretty fantastic with Patton Oswalt, Sean Patton, Kumail Nanjiani, Andrés du Bouchet, Andy Peters, and music by Nick Diamonds.
Stop asking questions already, get ready to see something amazing, and get your tickets.
A Look at Entitlement at Los Globos (It’s a Comedy Show at a Club in Silverlake, Not a State of Mind)
We’re always suckers for behind the mic/curtain of comedy, especially when it’s done by our good friend Steve Feinartz (director of The Bitter Buddha) and is in black and white and features Kyle Kinane AND is profiling the brand new weekly comedy show brought to you by the comedian writers of Vice Magazine (Josh Androksy, Dave Schilling, Megan Koester, Allen Strickland Williams, Grant Pardee, and Alison Stevenson) called Entitlement (the show is happening tonight).

Morning Debriefing 9/9/11
1) CNN takes a look at comedy after 9/11 with Bill Burr, Chris Hardwick, Marc Maron, and Rob Riggle. [via Laughspin]
2) A Kumail Nanjiani bit about heroin gets the cartoon pony treatment.
3) Expanded thoughts on the Oschack-USC debacle on Laughspin.
5) The season finale of the Compatish, which pits the gang in a contest of painting trees, can be decided by whose painting is sold for the most money on eBay. So far, someone is going to pay $10 for Adam’s “snatch tree”.
6) Dan Dringle gives you a couple great reasons to buy a Motorola Tablet and maybe a hug.
7) You may think that doing comedy on a megaphone outdoors at a park might not work, but we wholeheartedly disagree.

Morning Debriefing 9/7/11
1) Aubrey Plaza is “one of the most fascinating people” that Conan’s talked to into awhile.
2) Don Rickles on Jimmy Kimmel Live (including Parts 1 & 2).
3) Over the last few months, there has been a lot of talk about the consequences of talking about sexual assault and rape on stage and being aware of the sensitivity of audience members. Today, Barbara Holm gives an interesting flip on the debate in regards to hecklers sexually harassing comedians at Laughspin.
4) A guy sells punny-one liners in a park. There was a guy in Venice who just used to take donations and would make a living performing his act on the street. Is America prime for “street comedy”?
5) Laughter Against the Machine, a comedy tour bringing laughs to political hot spots around the U.S., is only a few days away from needing to meet their donation goal. If that wasn’t enough, hear what Marc Maron had to say about it.
