Truly, it’s a pure joy to see Naomi Ekperigin take any stage as she owns the room immediately (watch her late night sets and half hour special for proof). Her poise and shrewd takes on the world make the room pop with applause and laughter the whole way through.

So, you should go see her headline over at Dynasty Typewriter next week as it’ll be something to behold (FYI, the amazing Debra DiGiovanni is opening FYI). Go get your tickets here. Seriously, go get them right now.

comedy show, comedy special, eddie pepitone, k town, live taping, los angeles, stand up, westlake

We sincerely hope that Eddie Pepitone goes down in comedy history as one of the greats. Pepitone is a truly electrifying performer that somehow makes every performance special and enthralling even if you know some of the material by heart.

Thus, you should definitely be in the room when his latest special is being taped next month at Dynasty Typewriter. There are two shows on Sat., Feb. 16th, 8PM & 10PM, that you can attend. Also, Dana Gould will be featuring and Caitlin Gill will be hosting, which might just be more brilliant comedy than we all deserve.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and you can and very much should get them here and here respectively

2018 recap, boast rattle, k town, macarthur park, positivity, westlake

The beloved compliment contest, Boast Rattle, is attempting something even more grandiose than trying to joke about another comedian in a positive light: joking about 2018 in a positive light. 

It’s perfectly named: Boast Rattle Presents: Was It Really That Bad? 

There’s an amazing line-up that will attempt this near impossible feat (in case you didn’t know, 2018 was another heap of trash on fire like 2016 and 2017) and might be the best way to close out 2018.

Tickets are $10 right now and $15 at the door. Go get advance tickets here.

Zed Cutsinger and Andrew Michaan’s PowerPointless will also have a line-up including Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher, Nick Thune, Brent Weinbach, and David Dineen-Porter that’s more than up to the task of BS-ing their way through an actual PowerPoint presentation that they’ve never seen before.
