Well, this was one of the most original, innovative, unbelievable things that we saw all year long. Somehow Jamie Loftus manages to be as vulnerable, open, and honest as she is hysterically absurd about when she lost her virginity.

Normally, a show like this would be in the walls of some hallowed indie music venue a la Neil Hamburger and Special Guests at The Satellite. However, next week, this wondrous line-up will brings some delightful mischief to the Gelson’s in Silver Lake.

After gaining international critical acclaim at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Natalie Palamides’ groundbreaking show returns home for another run at The Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe.
Also, the show’s director (and Fringe Festival favorite), Dr. Brown, will attempt to perform the show. Show description reads (probably written by Natalie):
Dr. Brown has been developing this show with Natalie for over a year and knows the show like the back of his hand… SO HE THINKS. Come watch Dr. Brown crash and burn OR, more likely, blow the show so far out of the water that Natalie hands the role over to him forever. Following the show the audience is welcome to watch Natalie give notes on his performance.
Get tickets for LAID here and the Dr. Brown Edition here.

On Sunday nights, there’s a good chance you might find us at Bigfoot Lodge East for our last stop of the evening, Babe Island.
Tonight, there unfortunately will be no Babe Island at said Bigfoot Lodge as ASW, Androsky, Gborie, and Fritz are moving their show one neighborhood over to Bar Angeles (AKA The Elliott Smith Bar at 4330 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA) two weeks from now on Sunday, September 10th.
Per usual, they stacked the line-up with LA favorites: Jon Daly, Alex & Jude, Richard Bain, Billy Bonnell, and Amy Silverberg.
Except for the location change, it should be business as usual with the show starting around 10PM and there being no cover or minimum.
