No matter the state of the world/economy/government, nothing really changes Mondays from being Mondays and, in our minds, it’s imperative that they are reliable forms of mental relief via legit weekly comedy shows plentifully available. Such is the case on Wednesdays in LA (Hot Tub, Better Half, Microdose, Motherland, Totally!, and Skin Contact to name a few).

Mondays are much more sparing.

That’s why it’s thrilling to hear that LA comedy staples Lindsay Adams, Sam Wiles, and Will Miles are starting up a brand new weekly stand-up show, Cult Classic, in Eagle Rock’s Señor Fish. Every Monday night at 7PM, just head on up Eagle Rock Blvd. to wooden-fort-ish Señor Fish after you bought your $8 tickets to enjoy a painstakingly curated, secret line-up and negate any instance of “having the case of the Mondays”. Also, don’t you want to get in on the ground floor of a “cult classic”?

Keep up with everything for Cult Classic @cultclassiccomedy on IG and go get tickets for their inaugural show this coming Monday, Oct. 9th.

Though you might have seen a lot of shows get postponed or outright cancelled this week in LA due to the rise in COVID-19 cases (and breakthrough infections of fully vaccinated people), there is plenty of stuff to look forward to next month as LA’s wide swath of shows continue to return, step-by-step.

One of the latest shows to announce its return is Arts & Crafts Comedy, which has delightfully been marrying the visual arts with stand-up comedy for years around LA. Hosts Nick Skardarasy and Jon Zucker set a splendid tone for the evening where stand-ups will get some sort of artistic interpretation of their stand-up in a drawing, sculpture, artistic creation of some kind from an esteemed artist.

This first show back since lockdown will feature seasoned illustrator Charlie Hankin (half of the great sketch group Good Cop Great Cop) who has gotten plenty of work featured in The New Yorker. Hankin will be making art inspired a lovely handful of great stand-ups (Laurie Kilmartin, Will Miles, Ever Mainard, Langston Kerman, Savannah Manhattan, and Mike Mulloy).

The first of Arts & Crafts Comedy of 2021 is set for Sun. Aug. 22nd at 8PM PT at Rita House. Tickets are $10 and you can (and very much should) get them here.

Saying things that are nice to other people is one of the most valuable things you can do in times like these. In fact, even a competition of how nice one comedian can boast about someone better than another comedian that they’re going to head-to-head with, boast for boast, can still help in spreading positive vibes during these dire times.

Thus, it’s the perfect time for Kyle Ayers‘ terrific compliment contest Boast Rattle that has run for years and will now get to run once again on Twitch. Attempting to out-compliment to each other will be an amazing line-up that really ought to make a barnburner of niceness including: Josh Gondelman, Sara Schaefer, Dave Ross, Giulia Rozzi, and Will Miles.

This latest edition of Boast Rattle will take place this Saturday, May 9th at 6PM PT/9PM ET on Kyle’s Twitch here.

The driver/DJ/Hollywood insider/paranormal conduit Dicker Troy (Johnny Pemberton) is getting a shot to impart his blue collar mysticism via a live talk show.

Pretty great first holiday gift for the first of December, no?

So, you best go get your tickets for Dicker’s Talk Show at the Satellite this Sun. here.

Tickets are only $10 and all proceeds will be going to Kevin’s family. Go get them here before they probably sell out.
