Joe Pera, Jo Firestone, Conner O’Malley, and Dan Licata, the folks responsible for one of the best shows this year, Joe Pera Talks With You, will be bringing their mostly innocent mischief in stand-up comedy form across the country this August.

If you’re in any of the cities above, do not miss out on what is sure to a very nice time, dabbled with some controlled chaos on the BlueBerry Tour (that makes us think that Pera will have an accompanying web series about trying blueberry pie across the U.S.).

In any case, you really ought to get tickets for those dates here.

Let’s face it. You’re probably not getting back into the swing things from the holidays into 2018 until next week. A nice way to ease into the new year if that’s indeed your plan is going to afternoon comedy show on Saturday with the likes of Kyle Kinane, Billy Wayne Davis, Megan Gailey, David Gborie, Maggie Maye, Danielle Perez, Josh Androsky, Jamie Loftus, Ryan Singer, Allen Strickland Williams, Erin Lampart, Barbara Gray, and Steph Tolev at a dive bar.

With that in mind, catch Chicago’s Late Late Breakfast from Tyler Jackson and Danny Maupin at Silverlake Lounge (2906 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA) this Saturday, Jan. 6th at 4PM (Doors at 3PM) for what should be a lovely way to sober up for the first Monday where everyone goes back to work. Donations will be accepted.

Though Halloween will be over, you can keep the spirit alive with Chicago’s own Helltrap Nightmare, a surrealist, horror comedy show (seemingly in the same oozing vein of The Heart, She Holler) coming to the Lyric Hyperion next month.

Also, it might be a perfect night for the show as it’ll be exactly a year to the day after, well, you know, the 2016 election was over.

The line-up includes:
-host Sarah Squirm, The Shrimp Boys, and Scott Egleston, all from Chicago
-Ruby McCollister from NYC
-LA’s own Jamie Loftus, Bruce Bundy, and Lyra Hill.

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

Last year, real life married comedians Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher went on tour as part of their honeymoon. They not only captured their journey in a web series, but offered other couples sincere, but still hilarious, advice on how they might better their relationships.

So, Natasha and Moshe are embarking again across North America on what is now called “The Endless Honeymoon Tour” this summer.

We guess if you can keep the “honeymoon phase” going, the magic doesn’t stop, right?

You can find dates and get tickets at either MosheKasher.com or NatashaLeggero.com.

CYSK is just the latest in a great trend of comedy shows expanding across the country and specifically having a version of their show in LA.

San Francisco’s The Business, Cincinnati ’s Underbelly, and NYC’s Gandhi, Is That You? and Fresh Out, are just a few shows that have kept their flagship shows going in their hometowns, but have expanded to have a regular show here in LA. There are even more shows in the LA comedy scene that have just moved to outright to LA from elsewhere like Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen.

Chicago’s Comedians You Should Know, six years running at Timothy O’Toole’s, will now join this growing list of nationally franchised indie comedy shows.

Chicago comics have rooted themselves quite well in LA. From people a year or so in all the way to Kyle Kinane, there are more comics in LA who started in Chicago than comics who actually started comedy in Los Angeles.

So, CYSK will be undoubtedly be a welcome monthly addition to the scene starting Apr. 30th at 9:30PM at Genghis Cohen, hosted by CYSK’s Joe Kilgallon. You can and should get tickets here.

Kyle Kinane Going on a “Meat and Cheese Tour”

We hope that Kyle commemorates each stop on this tour by getting local cheese and/or meat and making a bit out of it, perhaps like this brilliant pizza bit.

From Mar. 28th (that’s tomorrow) to Jun. 5th, Kyle Kinane will be hopping around from Athens, GA to Chattanooga, TN to Madison, WI to Portland, OR, to St. Louis, MO to Omaha, NE to Ames, IA to Minneapolis, MN to Milwaukee, WI to Chicago, IL to Ft. Wayne, IN to Grand Rapids, MI to Lansing, MI to Detroit, MI to Cleveland, OH to Pittsburgh, PA to Columbus, OH to Cincinnati, OH to Bloomington, IN.
