anniversary, live comedy, los angeles

We’ve been doing this (i.e. servicing the LA comedy scene and beyond) for 3 years now and we’re throwing an office party. Well, our office is technically mobile, so it will be at Echoes Under Sunset and we’re just going to throw one hell of a comedy show with some our favorite people (just look at the line-up) instead of just having handles of cheap vodka and someone’s iPod playing the background.

It’s at Oct. 25th 9PM Echoes Under Sunset. Repeat that at least 25 more times so you don’t forget.
