Darlings,
Where does the time go? DOES it go? Or are we just all spinning within our own concepts of time, recycling days and interactions until our “life” on this plane ends. Anycheewwwwww, we had a great week regardless of which idea of time you subscribe to, kicked off by one of our favorite Dynasty Tonight’s to date! CHELSEA PERETTI lit up the stage (with our lantern no less!) DREW DROEGE is the best friend we all want, FORTUNE FEIMSTER made power moves without her shoulder pads, it was perfect start to finish, and we sat in the back row and basked in how great people are. And DynaPop. The BYRON BOWERS Experience brought us into Byron’s world, complete with crickets and stars and mushrooms and parents with very liberal approaches to family albums. Thursday we had the pleasure of getting to know author, idea-man, and drive-in movie owner, JOSH FRANK at his book release party for Giraffes on Horseback Salad. We found out exactly how one completes a lost Marx Brothers & Dali film, turns it into a book, and scores and illustrates it. (It involves TIM HEIDECKER, tons of excitement, patience, collaboration, and a Japan-based big band.) The evening was completed by reading a few of the scenes with a sur’reallly dreamy cast! The SKLAR BROTHERS were born to play the Marx Brothers, DAVE FOLEY is guilty of being a delightfully confounded judge, and indignant looks really good on KATE MICUCCI. Saturday was powered by women and it was powerfullll, honeys (who run the world?)! With CAMERON ESPOSITO’s hour and Wild Horses with special guest ANGELA TRIMBUR, twas an embarrassment of riches.
This week we’ve got something new, something true, something “woo!,” and something “spoo”ky for you! (Listen, we know that sentence isn’t great, but writing these every week gets tedious and sometimes we just try to have something FUN!) TONIGHT come and see the funniest faces of the future, TODAY! We’re excited to host a JFL New Faces Showcase, so come by and see LA's next batch of hilarity makers before they blow up and are known as THE FUNNIEST PEOPLE ON THE EARTH PLANET. WEDNESDAY we’re gonna get realllll personal with MO COLLINS, BEN GLEIB, BRANDON WARDELL, LIZZY COOPERMAN and of course, LINDSAY AMES in her show My Diary.
THURSDAY we’ve got the legendary DANA GOULD in the house with his legendary podcast The Dana Gould Hour LIVE! If that wasn’t enough to shoo you from the crannies of your home: 1) Shame on you! 2) Here’s more bait; he’s bringing along EDDIE PEPITONE, BLAINE CAPTACH, JOHN ENNIS annnnnd music by Spongebob’s own TOM KENNY with his band Tom Kenny and the Hi-Seas!
This FRIDAY (as all Friday’s should be) is about gettin’ weiiiiird, baby! At 8pm we have Stand Up Science with SHANE MAUSS! It’s the perfect excuse to learn and or laugh, whichever you need an excuse for, though let it be known we thing BOTH of these actions are completely beyond reproach) as comedian Shane Mauss pivots between TED-type talks from real scientists, and comedian-type sets from real comedians! This month the scientists are going to be speaking on MDMA (Street name MOLLY! Pretty vanilla street name, huh? It’s like if heroin’s street name was Gennifer. Maybe it is!? We are not and have never sold ourselves as drug culture aficionados! No offense of course to the fine people who do stand on that platform.) At 10pm we are thrilled to have The Strange and Unusual Variety Hour for the Recently Deceased from the brilliant mind of ANNE LANE (Rick and Morty staff writer! UCB Outside Dog darling! Groundlings alum! PERSONAL FRIEND!) so come on down to the already spooky and presumed haunted theater to see comedy, music, tricks, demonic possessions and macabre delights of all types! Hosted by Anne as LYDIA DEETZ and flanked by the talents of MATT COOK, NATALIE PALIMIDES, STEVE LITTLE, MITCH SILPA and more! Juggling! Burlesque! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?
SATURDAY is 4/20! And you know what THAT means! (Wait, maybe we ARE drug culture aficionados?!) It means it’s April 20th and that date turned into numbers is all about…. doobies. We have a show for you that will get you feeling high on life, regardless of where and how you procure that high. Engine 420, hosted by a REAL* train engineer, is a variety show that’ll make you go “oohhhh yeah, man.” Featuring the talents of JACQUELINE NOVAK, BRENT WEINBACH, CHRIS LAKER, MATT MCCARTHY, and more TBA!
SUNDAY in some cultures is Easter. In some cultures it is just Sunday. In ALL cultures it marks the day before the time when Cadbury Creme eggs are at their absolute cheapest. We hope you have a great day full of the meaning you want it to have!
Love & Other Drugs,
Jamie and Vanessa
