This upcoming Hot Tub’s line-up includes the mind behind a brilliant Adult Swim special, a scene stealing cast member of Search Party, a fast rising star that has made it onto several who-to-watch lists, one of our personal local favorites, and a recent transplant that we’re more than glad to have in LA.
If you don’t want to miss any of that AND perhaps go for free, we’ve got tickets for you to win here: http://thecomedybureau.dola.com/giveaways

It’s been more than awhile (and much longer than we prefer) since this show has been around, but, thankfully, We Still Like You is coming back.
All the comedians booked tell a story in which they are definitely not the hero. At the end of each story, the audience cheers “"We still like you!“ in act of forgiveness. Per usual, the line-up is great.
Tickets are $5 and you can get more info here.
Not only is the great live animated stand-up show, Picture This! back for their first show of 2018, but they are, for the first time, having improv that will be also animated live from some of the best in town (Wild Horses-Lauren Lapkus, Mary Holland, Stephanie Allynne & Erin Whitehead).
You’re not going to want to miss this. In fact, you might want to show up before the door time if you want to get a seat.
