Los Angeles is losing The Steve Allen Theater, a theater that should be more near and dear to its heart for all the comedy, variety, music, magic, theater, curiosities, etc. that Trepany House has presented over the years.

The least you could do is catch the theater’s swan song, which will be a show packed to the gills with Trepany House’s all time favorites.

Tickets for general admission are $20 and VIP tickets are $50. Get them quick because they will probably sell out.

It looks like the time for the Trepany House at Steve Allen Theater is actually coming to an end, and, with it, The Tomorrow Show with Ron Lynch (an LA comedy institution as far as we’re concerned) seems to be ending as well. 

Though it has been running for over a decade every Saturday at midnight, there’s only a month’s worth of ‘Tomorrow’ left and, as such, this week’s show is a special “MASH-UP!” that gives a sampling of Crapshoot!, Five Minutes or Die!, and Hook-Up! (i.e. the various fan favorite formats of Tomorrow).

So, please make sure you see this or one of the three other Tomorrows. You can (and should) get tickets for this week’s MASH-UP! here.

Lauded comedian poet Derrick C. Brown (he’s made our year end list) is exploring new territory by doing a musical about a man who just gained the world record for being struck by lightning the most times and dealing with the bizarre celebrity that comes with such a title.

Called 300 Bones, it’s having a night at Steve Allen Theater thanks to Trepany House next month. The musical is written by Brown with music by Amanda Rafkin.

Tickets are $10 and you can (and should) get them here.

The Steve Allen Theater/Center For Inquiry, Along with Trepany House, Will Be Torn Down This Summer

The Steve Allen Theater/Center For Inquiry, Along with Trepany House, Will Be Torn Down This Summer

There seems to be a disturbing trend of local theaters around LA being torn down in order to build condos. 

The Steve Allen Theater, the long time home of The Tomorrow Show with Ron Lynch, the first home of Re-Animator the Musical, a place where the likes of Marc Maron, Bill Burr, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross worked out long sets, etc., is coming to an end this Summer. That includes the Center for the Inquiry and Trepany House, the non-profit behind the programming at the Steve Allen. 

The building will be torn down so a new set of condos can be built. 

There is no word yet on when the final days will exactly be or, more importantly, their shows will have to find a new home. You can read the Steve Allen/Trepany House’s own Amit Itelman’s announcement of the whole plan here.

In the meantime, we urge you to go see one of the final shows (that includes Tomorrow! w/Ron Lynch) at the Steve Allen over the next few months.

An a capella trio of (and band of mischievous comedians) Randy Liedtke, Davey Johnson, and Curt Neill AKA The John 3 Reillys are putting on a holiday show that will probably be unlike any other. Seeing whether this has anything to do with John C. Reilly should peak your curiosity at the very least

The John 3 Reillys Christmas Special, presented by Trepany House, is set for next Friday at the Steve Allen Theater and will also feature such wonderful guests as Kate Micucci, Derek Hughes, Karen Kilgariff, and Katie Crown.

The Tomorrow Show with Ron Lynch takes the idea of The Dating Game and mutates it into this wonderful late night, absurdist version of someone trying to go on a date with a bachelorette. It’s absolutely one of our favorite things to go see.

Watch “The Roast of Ron Lynch” as a Great Reminder of Traditional Roasts

While the upcoming Roast of Justin Bieber is a night of taking on a highly divisive figure with all the insults and verbal barbs that professional insult and verbal barb makers can muster as physical abuse is illegal, there was a time where roasts were for the ones you love. 

The Roast of Ron Lynch wonderfully harkens back to that time.

Ron Lynch is, whether you or Ron knows it or not, an American comedy treasure and, as such, a roast in his honor was held a few weeks back at Trepany House @ The Steve Allen Theater. In attendance was a dais of his friends and contemporaries including Emo Philips, Chuck Sklar, Kevin Kataoka, Brendon Small, Joe Wagner, Katie Crown, The Walsh Brothers, Davey Johnson, and more.

They all took their approach of making fun of Ron and each other, saying something heartfelt, Ron expertly responding, and, as you might imagine made it a night to never forget.

Watch and enjoy a classic roast of a great comedian here.
