Yes, there have been comedy shows featuring art throughout the venue.
Yes, there have been art galleries featuring artistic representations of comedians.
How about a comedy show with sketches of the performers that you will make you laugh and roll that very night?
Sound good? Sure does. The Comedy Gallery this Saturday is just that and it’s only $5. 7PM-The Show Cave, 3501 Eagle Rock Blvd., Los Angeles, CA.
Here’s some shots of all ten completed light boxes. The Maron light box sold on eBay over the weekend and I’m shipping it off tomorrow, so I thought I’d get a couple shots of all of them together. I’ve already begun painting the next group but I want to wait until I have at least five painted before showing them off, so expect more pictures in a couple days.
If expendable income was a thing that I had, I would totally get this.
CHARLYNE YI & DAVE HORWITZ PRESENT: THE DEPARTED HEARTED

“A Semi-Improvised supers sensational journey of two lovers and a wicked betrayal. Action(ed) packed with explosive sadness, treacherous milkshakes, and a suspension of disbelief then belief again. Join us, on a magical night of what-the-fuck-is-happening because we don’t even know what’s going to happen ourselves!”

Number 87: ED HELMS
Bluegrass! The Office! Remote iPad control! A wide berth of topics to cure what ails ya (emotionally)! There’s a rap on the door of your heart…it’s Ed Helms!!! How could you turn him away? It’s. Just. Not. Possible. (audience “Awwwww”s, cue “Growing Pains” theme: “As Long as We’ve Got Each Other”, credits)
Nerdist and Ed Helms = Yes (only becaue I don’t know how to type a thumbs up).
“Oh no. No. This is awful. Melissa Banks is reading my poem in front of the whole cafeteria! Oh my God, I- I want to die. I gave her that poem to demonstrate my love – why is that funny? I shouldn’t have included a picture of me and my mom.
Oh God, they’re all laughing!!! This is so much worse than when my brother posted that video online of me dancing in my underpants and my dad’s wig. WHY would she break my heart like this? I just wanted to be nice to her. And I wore a fancy hat today and everything.”

Yet another amazing line-up that would make me comfortable and laughing at a sex-shop…
HOW DID THIS GET MADE – Episode #9 – FAST 5 w/ Guest ADAM SCOTT
This movie is awesome, it makes no fucking sense, and I can’t wait to see it again.
- Why do all the women look alike?
- How many shots of of the Jesus Statue in Rio is too Much?
- Are the Heroes Good Guys or just Vicious Killers
- Why is The Rock so Sweaty?
Of this series, Fast Five probably offers the least mystery as to why it got made.
So this was one of the top 5 best days of my whole life. Hundreds of photos from the Franklin Village Street fair, by Robyn Von Swank.
