As part of working on an upcoming book, BoJack Horseman, creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg will be putting up an exclusive live reading of excerpts of the book (well before it’s release) performed by some of his favorite folks.

“Raphael Bob-Waksberg Works Through Some Sh*t (With Friends!)” is happening next weekend and we’re guessing tickets are going to go fast. So, buy them up as soon as you can here.

Blending a show and semi-fictional parties together, CleftClips’ Toasty allows comedians to give the toasts that they have always dreamed of. It’s one of our all time favorite shows and the line-up for the latest edition, as you can see above, is stellar.

Tickets are $20 (the venue is small, so they will be limited and you should get them sooner rather than later), and cocktail attire is required.

2525 presents, april fool's day, dtla, k town, live comedy, los angeles, no joke, stand up, what to do

Unlike most other things, comedy gets pretty serious on April Fool’s Day.

So, naturally, several great shows will be happening, one of which will be this No Joke presented by 2525 in DTLA as you can see in the flyer above.

Tickets range from $7 for earlybirds to $15 for all night entry to make sure you get in and get a good spot for the show. Also, part of the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood.

beverly grove, beverly hills, dana gould, ed wood, largo at the coronet theatre, live reading, plan 9 from outer space, weho

We don’t really think we need to do much convincing here.

After all, it is a live reading of cult classic Plan 9 From Outer Space presented by Dana Gould that features David Koechner, Jonah Ray, Paul F. Tompkins, Bobcat Goldthwait, Janet Varney, puppets by the talented Pam Severns, and so much more at Largo.

You’ve probably read all of that on the flyer, but, in case you needed it, we wanted the repetition to sink in the notion how awesome this night will be.

Tickets are still available at $30 a pop here.

One Jason Van Glass will be attempting to do 10+ hours of improv at The Clubhouse this coming Wednesday.

That might be breaking some kind of record. Even if it’s not, it’s an impressive feat to take on and he’s doing it for a great cause (collecting donations for the Southern Poverty Law Center) AND will have a great line-up of fellow improvisers joining him throughout throughout the whole run.

We weren’t kidding about that pull quote from our ‘100 Best’ list from last year.

The Bitch Seat, hosted by Lyssa Mandel, is a very entertaining version of show and tell that features comedians who probably never thought that they would have to do show and tell again, much less with things that possibly make them cringe about their childhood.

This LA edition of Bitch Seat (it’s based in NYC), is happening this Friday and tickets are only $5. You can (and should) get them here.

He’ll be doing an extended set at UCB Sunset next Wednesday, March 29th at 10:30PM that you shouldn’t miss.

One of the best and most unique storytelling shows around is coming around again.

This weekend, the amazing Heather Anne Campbell (AOK, Hebecky Drysbell, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Midnight Show) and guests will be doing live video game tournaments with play-by-play commentary, which, we’re just guessing here, is way better, more hilarious, and less offensive (probably) than most insults thrown between most gamers.

It will be the very first Video Game Show at The Pack Theater in Hollywood and admission is just pay what you can. Get more details here.

It’s rare that a movie that, on paper, had so much potential resulted in the mess that is Collateral Beauty.

For that, the upcoming Doug Benson Movie Interruption at Cinefamily at the end of the month should be an extra special one to attend.

A unifying bond of comedians is the painful, cringeworthy start that they all had. Giulia Rozzi’s show First Set gathers comedians that are very funny and revisits those beginnings as well as contrasts it with honed, well-crafted comedy that they currently do. It’s like Mortified, but specifically for stand-up.

Baron Vaughn, Ramon Rivas, Melissa McQueen, and Jade Catta-Preta will be showcasing their comedy “then vs. now” next Monday at UCB Sunset.

Tickets are $5 and you can (and should) get them here.
