As part of working on an upcoming book, BoJack Horseman, creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg will be putting up an exclusive live reading of excerpts of the book (well before it’s release) performed by some of his favorite folks.

“Raphael Bob-Waksberg Works Through Some Sh*t (With Friends!)” is happening next weekend and we’re guessing tickets are going to go fast. So, buy them up as soon as you can here.

We weren’t kidding about that pull quote from our ‘100 Best’ list from last year.

F*ck This Late Night Show, the late night talk show that has an enemy force actively trying to ruin the show, was so damn fun.

They’re finally doing another version of it next week and you really ought to not miss it.

Tickets are only $5 and you can (and really should) get them here.

Currently, one of the most best and most unique voices in comedy belongs to Joe Pera.

He’ll be doing an extended set at UCB Sunset next Wednesday, March 29th at 10:30PM that you shouldn’t miss.

In fact, knowing Joe, there might even be some truth to him allowing “anyone to drive his mid-size rental car wherever they would like to go” after the show.

Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.

Much of UCB’s best and brightest (really, they’re some of our favorites to rise from the UCB stage) are doing bits, characters, and sketches in this new monthly showcase produced by Nick Ciarelli and Bradford Evans, Atlantic City, starting this week.

The line-up is stacked and we really think you should get your tickets sooner rather than later. They’re $7 and you can (and should) get them here.

A unifying bond of comedians is the painful, cringeworthy start that they all had. Giulia Rozzi’s show First Set gathers comedians that are very funny and revisits those beginnings as well as contrasts it with honed, well-crafted comedy that they currently do. It’s like Mortified, but specifically for stand-up.

Baron Vaughn, Ramon Rivas, Melissa McQueen, and Jade Catta-Preta will be showcasing their comedy “then vs. now” next Monday at UCB Sunset.

Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.

Watching comedians perform, you might think that they’re such succinct observers of the world around them that probably know a little more than just a thing or two.

This new show “Experts” (Note: the quotation marks are intentionally part of the title and suggest an air of sarcasm) will put comedians and their knowledge to the test via a completely factual multimedia presentation on a topic.

This first show has an amazing line-up that could make anything they talk about entertaining, but will focus in on a topic they feel that they’re an “expert” in. With Guy Branum, we’d guess it be Canada.

“Experts” will kick off next week at UCB Sunset. Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.

Tomorrow night, Lindsay Ames’ My Diary will gather some of the best people from every corner of comedy and has them share a part of a diary that they kept at some point in their life. This usually includes accompanying pictures that show just how “expressive” they were in writing in their most private correspondence.

John Early, who you probably just saw on The Tonight Show, the voice of one of the new Powerpuff Girls Natalie Palamides, and Baron Vaughn (both on late night and in Grace & Frankie) is just half of this fine line-up.

If you’re not into the concept of Valentine’s because you see it as a corporate cash-in, take note that all proceeds from this show will go to Planned Parenthood.

So, you can (and should) get your tickets for UCB’s Planned Parenthood Valentine’s Day Bonanza here.

All Time UCB Cagematch Champs Hebecky Drysbell Will End Their 78-0 Run Undefeated

Before you get worried about catching Hebecky Drysbell once more, know that they’re getting their own recurring show at UCB here in LA.

For 78 weeks, Heather Anne Campbell and Rebecca Drysdale, otherwise known as Hebecky Drysbell, put on a clinic of long form improv that was consistently brilliant and innovative with a dash of the right bit of mischief. It’s why they made our year end lists.

In that time, beat all of their opponents including the previous Cagematch champion record holding team Heather & Miles that Heather was also a part of.

The UCB Cagematch tonight will feature two new challengers that will face off against each other and a special Cagematch farewell performance from Hebecky Drysbell. It should come as no surprise that tickets to the show are sold out.

Like we said earlier though, you’ll have another chance to see Heather and Rebecca together again as they’ll have a regularly scheduled show at UCB. We’ll be sure to let you know when that gets going.

UCB’s got something up their sleeve with Gene Wilder & Fidel Castro’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (in Limbo). According to the description, you’ll be able to wander halls of limbo that includes:

A Facebook Echo Chamber
Westworld World
The Physical Manifestation of Reddit
A Limbo Karaoke Room featuring the music of the approx. 1,000 musical artists who died in 2016
Hillary Clinton’s Woods
The Set of a Multi-Cam Sitcom
Fake News Ground Zero

Taking place all night long at UCB Sunset tomorrow, Friday, December 30th, this probably means you’ll get to actually wander the halls of the building (instead of just sitting in the theater), perhaps Sleep No More style, and see UCB’s go to performers recreate what they think 2016′s version of limbo is.

Interested? Good. You can (and should) get tickets here.

The gigantic (but maybe not on the scale of billions and billions) line-up for the 16th Annual SF Sketchfest has just been announced. This flyer is just scratching the surface of how many great performers are on the bill.

In fact, there are currently over 700 performers that will be in more than 230 shows at 17 different venues over the course of 2 and a half weeks. Even if you’re not in or around San Francisco, it might be worth it to trek to SF to see what’s happening.
