In case you forgot, June is Pride Month and only a few days away as of this post. As such, there is going to be an amazing wave of LGBTQIA+ comedy that could (and should) potentially take over all of next month for you.

One of those shows, in LA, will be Overheard LA x Truly joining forces for CHEERS TO QUEERS, an exclusive evening of queer comedy supporting long-standing queer org GLAAD. Set for the beginning of June on Sat. Jun. 3rd, the likes of queer comedy luminaries Zach Teague and Drew Lausch will be making that afternoon feel like a party worthy of the much later hours. Joining them will be wondrous queer comics from the LA scene including EJ Marcus, Teresa Lee, Pallavi Gunalan, Andrew Stier, and Mav Viola.

CHEERS TO QUEERS is set for 1PM on Sat. Jun. 3rd at Truly LA. Tickets are only $15 and that’ll get you admission to the show, two drinks, access to confessional booths, and the dance party following the show. Sounds like a pretty good deal to us. Go get ’em here.

Pick of the Day: R. U. Afraid of the 90’s? (near LA) 10/21

If you’re already trying to make plans to keep all of October spooky, know that there’s plenty of comedy that can (and very much should fill your schedule). It’ll range from anything where comedians will dress up from comedians of yesteryear to scary storytelling to revisiting the sort of nostalgia that gives you the thing that was the cornerstone of R.L. Stine’s legacy, goosebumps.

On Friday, October 21st at 8:30PM, Teresa Lee will actually lead such a creepy journey back to the cringiest things from over 20 years ago with many of LA’s funniest folks at a new LA venue that’s both literally and figuratively “out there”, Altadena’s Public Displays of Altadena.

So far, Alex Song-Xia, Brodie Reed, Bri Pruett, Budd Diaz, Charles Gould, Danielle Perez, Dana Donnelly, Eli Olsberg, Kat Toledo, Liz Magee, Madison Shepard, and Will Weldon dare to be on this bill.

It ought to be a collective night of spooking yourself over how you might have possibly convinced that JNCO jeans were ever a good idea.

Also, if you show up in costume, you’ll get a free drink, and there might just be a 90s dance party following the show.

All of this show will only run you $10 per ticket. So go get ’em here.

Sure, there’s an anti-Asian hate crimes bill making its way through Congress and two Asian women won Oscars last night, but that still doesn’t mean the fight against anti-Asian hate crimes is over. There was such an alarming rise of those hate crimes that are very well documented at this point that turning the tide is going to be a long and daunting fight.

So, supporting orgs like #STOPAAPIHATE are crucial to making long, lasting sustainable change and thus enjoying comedy shows benefitting such orgs is a great way to do just that. That’s part of why you should check out The Good Good Laugh Show live-stream that’s raising money for #STOPAAPIHATE this Thurs. Apr. 29th at 7PM PT/10PM ET.

The other part of why you shouldn’t miss out here is that it has a fantastic line-up of Asian and Pacific Islander comedy and drag acts including:

ATSUKO OKATSUKA
GARRON CHIU
JES TOM
JULIA SHIPLETT
MISS SHU MAI
& host Teresa Lee!

Get your tickets for $15 for The Good Good Laugh Show right here.

There’s only a handful of comedians that hit the ground running with virtual comedy and have been keeping it up ever since lockdown started. One of those folks is the very funny Teresa Lee how was a long time co-host of the IG stand-up live-stream Comedy Quarantine for several months, done all sorts of Zoom/Twitch shows, and even recorded an album with a virtual audience of every joke she did in 2020. Essentially, she figured out doing comedy on all these online based platforms and has been thriving ever since.

Teresa is pushing forward even further down the virtual comedy path with a headlining gig at one of the biggest virtual venues around, Nowhere Comedy, next Thurs., Apr. 15th. The great comedic stylings of both Troy Walker and Jes Tom will be joining Teresa as well.

Please Watch and Enjoy Teresa Lee Explaining How Tenet Makes Sense to Her

If you’re one of the folks that chanced seeing, Tenet, one of the only major studio releases of the year at a drive-in (or an actual theater if there was limited capacity and enough social distancing and COVID-19 cases were low enough), you might have left the theater pondering what you just saw. Of Christopher Nolan’s filmography, Tenet does leave the most to be explained (that includes Interstellar by the way). Repeat watches of the movie might be hard because of lack of access or merely because you don’t want to budget three more hours to figure out the circuitous interpretation of time travel that Nolan created exclusively for Tenet.

Even after several months of it being out there (and even now being on streaming platforms), people still find Tenet hard to follow/grasp/understand.

Thus, this explanation of how the universe of Tenet makes sense by Teresa Lee is pretty damn fun. Lee hilariously insists that its version of time travel is how she makes sense of theoretical time travel and her journey in trying to communicate that is much more straight forward than Tenet itself and, as such, much more enjoyable.

i have made a little nutty video review of the movie tenet and i dare u to watch it, here is a lil clip: pic.twitter.com/hJtd5D8Fre

Pick of the Day: Final Week of Comedy Quarantine

December 7, 2020

Comedy Quarantine has been dutifully and faithfully delivering stand-up comedy via Instagram Live (in a pretty slick way, we might add) for almost every week of lockdown/quarantine/this damn pandemic. The team of Barbara Gray, Teresa Lee, Dominque Gelin, and Sam Varela have connected the best comedians from around the country and the world to stay connected to everyone else and work on material within their own home or wherever they happen to be at the time (Teresa went live from a protest in DTLA) longer than any other comedy live-stream that we have known about this year.

On top of that, they have been taking donations to not only support the comedians on their line-up, but have raised plenty of $$$ for great organizations such as Ground Game LA or The Okra Project.

So, this week will be their last week and, as they have done throughout the duration of the pandemic, they’ve got stacked line-ups that are very, very much tuning into on IG Live for (as you can see above).

If you weren’t already checking them out, please check @ComedyQuarantine out for their final shows this Wed., Thurs., and Fri. at 7PM PT/10PM ET.
