You’ve seen that many annual, big time, tent pole events are opting to go virtual because of the global pandemic rather than just entirely postpone or cancel their plans for 2020. Comic-Con and JFL are indeed going to live-stream events and the same will be true of Tomorrow with Ron Lynch, the LA comedy variety treasure that has been faithfully bringing the weird/wonderful/hilarious to LA crowds every Saturday night now for 15 years.

This first virtual anniversary of Tomorrow with Ron Lynch will take place on Instagram Live where host Ron Lynch has been keeping Tomorrow going for months now @ronlynch1 on Saturdays at 11PM PT/2AM EST.

For the anniversary shows, they always round up some big guests as well as their all time favorites and this time is no different. Here’s the line-up for this Saturday’s 15 Year Anniversary:

Fred Armisen

David Arquette

Kate Micucci

Brendon Small

Craig Anton

Brett Loudermilk

Bangs the Clown

Jay London

THE CORE 4

Chris Walsh

Katie Crown

Brian Barlow

Davey Johnson

Michael Mortilla

Martin Olson

You might not get the complimentary food or cheap toys/party favors that normally come with every Tomorrow anniversary, but the delightfully strange spirit of Tomorrow with Ron Lynch will definitely be there like it always has been, whether virtually or in person.

Again, tune in on Sat. Jul. 25th at 11PM PT/2AM EST @ronlynch1 on IG Live

Over 13 years, Ron Lynch has faithfully kept one of the best comedy variety shows featuring stand-up, sketch, characters, clowns, magic, bands, carnies, and other weirdos in LA, The Tomorrow Show, going every Saturday night at midnight.

Well, the time for their swan song has unfortunately come, but what a swan song it will be.

The very last Tomorrow! with Ron Lynch will be this Saturday at midnight full of their main players, best and brightest, all time favorites, old friends, comedy legends, etc.

Do not miss out. Please get your tickets here.

13) Saw a “comic” point out noises instead of telling jokes or do ANYTHING because apparently we weren’t on board with his weirdness, which he didn’t approve of, and then cut and run right after his set. If he was trying to make sure that people won’t come to his shows where his name is on the bill, he’s doing a damn good job.

3) Anthony Jeselnik on Conan.

4) Tonight (if you don’t feel like going out to support live comedy) there’s Jeff Garlin making an appearance on Conan 11PM on TBS and the first night of the premiere of Jon Benjamin Has A Van 10:30PM on Comedy Central.

5) Independently produced Beer in the Shower has a new location starting tomorrow at Dreams Cafe (5625 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA). It’s still free it still has a hell of line-up with Kyle Kinane, James Adomian, Baron Vaughn, and more, AND it’s only a few blocks from the original location. Don’t miss out, tomorrow 9:30PM.

6) I got a chance to catch the Tulsa Skull Swingers composed of hilarious people in their own right: Craig Anton, Ron Lynch, Blaine Capatch, and Amit Itelman at 3 Clubs last night. Simply amazing. Imagine Link Wray retrofitted for a comedy variety show and you’ll start to get an idea… Stay tuned here at the Bureau for details about their next month.

7) Art and Slapstick Comedy: Josh Fadem and his pratfalls.

8) The 2 & 45 @ All Star Lanes on Mon. July 18th at 8PM will feature Brandie Posey and Barbara Gray both doing 45 min. sets. This could very well be one of those “I saw them back when they were performing at a bowling alley in Eagle Rock” type of moments.
