Let’s face it. You’re probably not getting back into the swing things from the holidays into 2018 until next week. A nice way to ease into the new year if that’s indeed your plan is going to afternoon comedy show on Saturday with the likes of Kyle Kinane, Billy Wayne Davis, Megan Gailey, David Gborie, Maggie Maye, Danielle Perez, Josh Androsky, Jamie Loftus, Ryan Singer, Allen Strickland Williams, Erin Lampart, Barbara Gray, and Steph Tolev at a dive bar.
With that in mind, catch Chicago’s Late Late Breakfast from Tyler Jackson and Danny Maupin at Silverlake Lounge (2906 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA) this Saturday, Jan. 6th at 4PM (Doors at 3PM) for what should be a lovely way to sober up for the first Monday where everyone goes back to work. Donations will be accepted.
