Watching comedians perform, you might think that they’re such succinct observers of the world around them that probably know a little more than just a thing or two.
This new show “Experts” (Note: the quotation marks are intentionally part of the title and suggest an air of sarcasm) will put comedians and their knowledge to the test via a completely factual multimedia presentation on a topic.
This first show has an amazing line-up that could make anything they talk about entertaining, but will focus in on a topic they feel that they’re an “expert” in. With Guy Branum, we’d guess it be Canada.
“Experts” will kick off next week at UCB Sunset. Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.

Arguably, Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen is one of the best comedy shows in the country, maybe even the world. It has become a staple in both LA and NYC that’s pretty much sold to capacity every week well over a whole decade.
This 12th Anniversary of Hot Tub that’s happening tomorrow is actually sold out, but there will be a small number of tickets available at the door. Both Kurt and Kristen will do some of their classic sketches in addition to the killer line-up that they always have.
This Monday night, February 20th, doors will be open at 7PM at The Virgil (we’re guessing some might be lining up well before that), tickets will be at $8 at the door, and the show will start at 8PM.
