Normally, December is a very sad time in LA (people leave, things wind down, and there is minor traffic because the city is empty).

That being said, those “orphans” (or locals that feel fine for also staying in town) do have the now annual big time podcasting event called the Pee Cast Blast to look forward to. So many of your favorite podcasts (perhaps all of them?), one right after the other, will tape live at the gorgeous Theatre at Ace Hotel on Dec. 15th. Undoubtedly, this makes December in LA not so sad.

Tickets are going from $50 for GA all the way to $125 for a VIP meet-and-greet. They’re on pre-sale here (you can use the code: PCAST2018 to get access, so you’re welcome).

An inflatable screen, a DIY picnic area outside of an animation studio, and a bunch of wondrous, as stated, “messed up cartoons” is what makes Let’s What Messed Up Cartoons a pretty damn memorable evening (perhaps, one of those only in LA sort of happenings?).

In any case, it should be one of the stops on whatever you’re doing this Halloween weekend. Get more details here.

Besides it being Neil Hamburger and the fact that it’s a very, very, very, very stacked line-up (perhaps almost worthy of a gala?), next Sunday will mark 11 years of Neil’s residency (the longest solo residency in the comedy scene that we can think of) at The Satellite in Silverlake.

If you need more reason to go, then just trust that we’re telling you to go because it’s worth it.
