Over the next few days, two of LA’s most popular independently produced comedy shows Holy Fuck and Powerviolence are ending their weekly runs at their respective venues, The Downtown Independent Theater and Strait Jacket Society. We’ve enjoyed what the shows have both done and how they’ve grown to be institutions in the LA comedy scene.
Don’t miss your chance to catch these shows once more in all their comedic marvel.
Powerviolence’s last show is this Sunday, June 30th at 9PM at Strait Jacket Society and Holy Fuck’s last show is the Tuesday, July 2nd at 9PM at Downtown Independent Theater.
1) The hilarious Auggie Smith got bumped from his stand-up appearance on Lopez Tonight not by Russell Peters, not by Arsenio Hall, or George Lopez himself, all experienced comedians, on the final episode of Lopez Tonight, but by Metta World Peace (Ron Artest). Start at 6:20.
2) Jeff Garlin inks deal at ABC, though it’s still pretty pretty pretty–prettyyyyy unclear whether Curb Your Enthusiasm is at its final season.
3) Kyle Mooney (of Good Neighbor) gets hired by Jimmy Kimmel Live.
5) Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi get to the bottom of Michelle Bachmann’s infamous Newsweek photoshoot.
