adult swim festival, comedy show, dtla, festival

Starting tomorrow and going through the whole weekend, the maiden voyage of the Adult Swim Festival will kick off just East of DTLA.

As you can see above, the line-up is pretty damn stacked. RTJ and the Rick and Morty Musical Ricksperience is great enough reason alone to go to this even though the rest of the line-up makes one hell of a festival. You can still get festival passes here.

comedy show, experimental comedy, los angeles, silverlake

Few comedy shows party quite as hard as Late Late Breakfast with hosts Danny Maupin and Tyler Jackson and that’s why it’s special the few times that they come around to LA every year.

This Saturday, October 6th is one of those special days where uber-silly challenges meet stand-up during “late late breakfast” (that would make it “late brunch” hours too, we guess?).

Debra DiGiovanni, Kara Klenk, Jordan Doll, Phoebe Bottoms, Simon Gibson, Amy Silverberg, Langston Kerman, Will Miles, Sasheer Zamata, and Jackie Kashian will all be joining in the controlled chaos at 5PM (doors open at 4PM if you want to get a good seat) at Silverlake Lounge (2906 W Sunset Blvd).

Admission is free, but donations will be accepted. Get more details here.

beautiful anonymous, chris gethard, dynasty typewriter, lose well

It’s not often that Chris Gethard swings by LA, so you really ought not to pass up a chance to see him.

Also, a live taping of his amazing podcast Beautiful Anonymous is another thing that you should make plans for whenever it happens.

It comes out on Oct. 16th, but if you pre-order right now, “Chris will send you a video message, an audio file you can use as your outgoing voicemail message, or he’ll call you directly for a two-minute chat!”
