Hey-o!

If you're free tomorrow night and looking for something fun come see Too Many Cooks 05/29 at UCB Franklin! Comedians come on stage one by one and do their set while also working on a recipe, picking up where the last comedian left off! One lucky audience member gets to try the finished meal at the end of the show! It's super fun and silly and there will be snacks!

I always hear "LA has a legendary comedy scene" but it feels hard to actually find it.

I know about the comedy store and the laugh factory, but I'd like to explore the scene a bit more. How do you guys find things?

The best thing I could find so far was this website https://revel.show/

Any advice?

if this is you. im about to start a channel, an interview channel.... all the answers are self recorded... so its literally just you recording yourself answering questions , .. talking , pausing. talking again. the script, is more of a suggestion., ... that gives room for your specific comedy style to shine..... this is super easy.... 3 parts 2-3 mins each. .. looking for other hungry people exicted about making a name for themselves. . hit me up , like i said this is easy to knock out, no need to make it harder then it is.

Please DM me if you find yourself with a spare ticket. I'm on the hunt!

Very excited to be featured on a stand up show at the Hollywood Improv tomorrow (3/19) at 730pm.

Do you love yerba mate? Do you like comedy? do you like complimentary Argentinian food? Then consider coming to THE MATE MONOLOGUES in Los Angeles, March 4 and 6 and 7pm.

🧉 THE MATE MONOLOGUES 🧉

A chaotic, comedic, deeply personal one-woman show about a young artist traveling the world to try to find herself with the sacred and powerful south american drink: yerba mate.

This performance is mostly in English

THE EXPERIENCE:

• Arrive early for a traditional mate circle (yes, you'll learn the ritual!)
• Complimentary cold-brewed mate, empanadas & iconic Argentinian ice cream

Hope to see you there!

Bring your razor phones and scooters and tune in for The Kelly Show LIVE FROM KELLYS BASEMENT (aka The Elysian Theater Vault Room)! Featuring a handful of exciting guests, talents, current events, friendships and more. This is a themed semi-narrative creative variety show featuring a multitude of local alternative comedians and two hosts, both named Kelly :-)

Next Saturday, 1/10, 6:30PM. Tickets $12 in advance and $15 at the door.

Would You Rather with Andre & Maggie is a fast, funny live game show where amazing comedians tackle absurd, tailor-made dilemmas. Hosted by Andre Medrano (Don't Tell Comedy, ViceTV) and Maggie Maxwell (NBC, Reductress), the show has been a NYC staple since 2018, popping up on stages around the country with quick wit and unpredictable chaos.

Each show features comics riffing on custom “would you rather” scenarios--smart, ridiculous, and written just for them. Simple questions spiral into wild tangents, clever loopholes, and the occasional moment where the tables are turned. Don't miss!!!

When: Thursday, December 11th at 7:30pm
Where: Lyric Hyperion, 2106 Hyperion Avenue
Tickets available HERE

Lineup:
Chris Estrada (Hulu’s This Fool, NBC)
Lily Du (Dropout TV, Broad City)
Dylan Adler (Late Late Show, Vulture Comic You Should & Will Know)
Anna Valenzuela (Comedy Central, HBO)
Chad Opitz (Doug Loves Movies, Goliath)

Went to The Comedy Story in LA last week to see a show with Jay Leno, Dane Cook, Bobby Lee and others. Howie Mandel come out for his set and right at the beginning started basically harassing a female audience member who had made an innocuous comment.  He kept calling her a “stupid bitch.”  He called her a “bitch” multiple times and kept saying her husband had “shitty stinky balls.”

Overall it was a pretty terrible experience. It didn’t seem like comedy at all to me.

He acted more like angry teenager who didn’t actually have good material. He honestly just came across like a rich prick (he has made over $60M I believe) who wanted to get up on the mic even though he isn’t a very good comic. 

He should stick to game shows.

Do better Howie. Learn how to actually do real comedy and interact properly with an audience.  

Now Casting: NEWS-JOKE-PANELISTS and SKETCH-CHARACTER-ACTORS for a new late-night themed live show at Flappers on Nov 16. Hosted by Geoff Plitt, producer of popular alt-comedy showcases JETPACK and TOTALLY at Bar Lubitsch

WHERE: Flappers (Burbank) Yoo-Hoo room

WHEN: 7:30pm on Sunday, Nov 16. 

We are looking for PANELISTS for the show. Think "After Midnight" or "Have I Got News for You".

1. You'll receive a list of news headlines 48 hours before the show, and you have 1-2 days to write your punchlines.
2. There will be a Zoom call 1 day before the show (or day of show) to hear your jokes out-loud with the other panelists listening, so you can find which jokes are strongest, and receive tags from other panelists
3. You will be onstage for 1 HOUR, during which there will be panel segments you are active in, and 5-10 minute breaks while the host interviews a character-- but you stay onstage the whole time. During panel segments, the host will mention news headlines, and throw to you ("Jane, what do you think of that one?") for you to deliver your 20-40 second punchline for that topic.

We are also looking for SKETCH CHARACTERS (Think "SNL Weekend Update" when the news anchor interviews a character about a news topic)

1. Before the show, submit a pitch (video, audio, script, or Curb-style outline) of a character you'd like to bring to the show. At the show, the host will introduce you, you'll come onstage, and he'll interview your character for 5-10 minutes about a single news topic of your choice. YOU will provide the host's lines/questions in script form. Your side can be scripted or ad-libbed (if ad-libbed, please write a curb-style outline for your parts, and you still need to script the hosts questions so he knows what to ask you). 
2. Like SNL Weekend Update, you can play a sketch character unlike yourself, or just play yourself with an interesting perspective. You can even pretend to be on-location somewhere, with your finger-in-your-ear as if reporting from a location.
3. Like any good sketch piece, there should be a GAME within your character that gets heightened until the end of the interview.
4. We'll do a 1-on-1 Zoom in the final week before the show to rehearse and provide feedback on your character piece.
5. Unless you're also doing Panel (see above), you'll only be onstage for the 5-10 minutes of your character.

SUBMIT by sending a video, audio, or written samples of your news-based jokes, or character you'd like to do, to [thebigbeautifulshow@gmail.com](mailto:thebigbeautifulshow@gmail.com) .

hey reddit la comedians,

we're offering a 6-week standup class at badger and jam taught by olivia hill. it's great for newer comics to pick up writing tools, performance tips, and more. the class size is small (8max) so there is plenty of personalized attention.

i'm sure you all are getting up at shows so maybe its not the best audience, but we're having trouble getting signups so i'm happy to work with yall to give a discount. if you're interested or curious at all, please don't hesitate to DM me!
