This brand new, weekly comedy game show, Hollywood Quars, hosted by Matt Lieb, takes trivia to a whole new level as both the contestants AND the host don’t know the answers to the questions (even when the host wrote them). It’s up to a really great line-up of comedians to make it seem like their answer is the best (or maybe even actually right?).

For this first edition of Hollywood Quars on Thurs. Jun. 4th at 7:30PM PT/10:30PM ET, they’ve assembled:

Baron Vaughn (Netflix, Comedy Central)
Steph Tolev (Comedy Central)
Brandie Posey (Lady 2 Lady Podcast)
Sean Keane (Roundball Rock Podcast)
Caitlin Gill (NPR, 2 Dope Queens)
Madison Shepard (Album “Goodnight Silverlake Lounge”)
Jessica Sele (Vice TV)
Chris Estrada (Comedy Central)
Casey Ley (Gay Power Half Hour )

Also, we gotta say, having gotten a sneak peak, this very well might be one of the slickest looking comedy game shows done via live-stream.

By the way, they’ll be raising money for Minnesota Freedom Fund (which, due to so much support, is distributing funds to other worthy causes)

Tickets are $8 if you snag them right now and you can (and very much should) go get them here.

charity benefit, comedy variety, dana gould, dr zaius, swing left

Yes, this is a charity benefit supporting the redo of a hotly contested election in North Carolina via Swing Left with the likes of Jane Lynch, Laurie Metcalf, and more for a stellar evening of comedy and music.

Also, the amazing Dana Gould will be hosting this whole Stand Up For America event as beloved Planet of the Apes’ character Dr. Zaius. That very well could be a show on its own that we’d also highly recommend you to go to, but you’re getting a jam packed night on top of that.

Tickets range from $50-$2700 (gets Host listing, VIP Benefits and a special recognition by Dr. Zaius for saving the planet). It might be steep, but it seems all worth the price of admission if you can afford it.

So, go get more details and tickets for Stand Up For America at The Satellite on Thurs. Aug. 8th here.

Other than trying to watch Maria’s social media feeds to see if you can watch her workshop her new hour over coffee with her or during her runs at The Clubhouse, you can watch her along with a great line-up of stand-ups and support the Freedom for Immigrants charity on August. 27th at Highland Park’s Hi Hat (5043 York Blvd., Los Angeles, CA).

As far as we can see, you need to go to this if you can. Tickets are $40 (21+ only) and you can (and very much should) get them here. Don’t be surprised if they sell out.
