experimental comedy, jake kroeger, los angeles, silverlake

Jake Kroeger has over 30 years of life almost entirely devoid of dating anyone seriously.

Rather than go on dating apps to try and solve this remedy, he’s going to do the next best thing by taking an entire audience on a date at the Lyric Hyperion in Silverlake that also doubles a live comedy show (that’s the next best thing, right?).

If you’re in on this because you have a crush on Jake or just want to give a desperate person some acceptance and validation, you should go get your tickets here.

comedy show, experimental comedy, passed, silverlake

Between hosts Johnny Pemberton and DJ Douggpound and guests on this inaugural show’s line-up Howard Kremer and Brent Weinbach, there have been so much of their comedic work that has seen the light of day and enjoyed thoroughly by many.

Of course, as “the biz” is indeed a business, they have plenty of projects that were passed on and PASSED offers all of them a chance to present what some suits ignored in the past.

With all of that said, go get your tickets here.

boss jr, comedy show, free show, improv comedy, los angeles, los feliz

Given the penchant for reboots, revivals, etc. these days, we’re cautious to announce any sort of “swan song”.

That being said, one of our favorite improv teams, Boss Jr. (Matt Rath, Naomi Villa, and Jake Dunnington) will be having their final show at The Clubhouse in Los Feliz next Wednesday, September 5th around 8:15PM.

Truly, we’ve enjoyed the trio get weird, go deep, and still keep an air of silliness abound and the teams that they’ve booked over the years on their nice and tight improv showcase.

So, join them for what will be (at least for the time being) one last go.

So, don’t miss a chance to watch the movie in it’s original form at the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo on Saturday, Sept. 8th at 8:15PM.

Then, a month later, you can (and should) watch Dana Gould do a live reading of the film at Largo with a cast he’s lovingly assembled of some of your favorite comedy folks. That includes: Bobcat Goldthwait, David Koechner, Janet Varney, Laraine Newman, Kevin MacDonald, Matt Braunger, Rob Zabrecky, Ron Lynch, Nate Mooney, Deborah Baker, Jr., Ken Daly, G Charles Wright, and Eban Schletter!
