December Darlings,
Welcome to DECEMBER. She’s a a fast and furious show pony of a month, isn’t she? Just hoofin’ around, somehow making us all feel both excited and inadequate, blessed n’ stressed, hot n’ high stepping, but with inevitable horse shit. Hopefully you’re able to avoid the shit (uncomfortable interactions with bizarre relatives? Getting the absolute worst gift in a white elephant? Giving the absolute worst gift in a white elephant? Being calllllled a white elephant by a bizarre relative?!) and will be able to just prance through the season spreadin’ and gettin’ all the light n' love. Over here in Dynastyland, we’re celebrating the season with a stacked (and adorable!) calendar of programming! Scroll down for a peep, Designer Dan outdid himself on some of these show graphics! And we're proud to announce a new seasonal DynaPop! topping! It’s called CORNAMENT! and it’s the perfect non-denominational way to ring in the holidays! DynaPop! topped with dark chocolate covered pretzels, gingerbread, peppermint marshmallows, tinnnnny cookies, and milk chocolate m+m's! Why stuff a stocking when you can STUFF YER FLARPIN’ FACE?!
Then stuff our DONATION BOX with things for folks who need ‘em. Your unhoused neighbors need your winter weather wear! Cold and rainy months in L.A. are especially hard when you're living on the street. Now is a great time to donate lightly used jackets, jeans, sneakers, and belts. Bring your cold weather gear to drop off before the next show you see at Dynasty, and we'll make sure your unhoused neighbors stay warm this year in partnership with SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition.
Then, stuff your SOUL with beautiful holiday programming!
TONIGHT! MONDAY, 7:30PM: Outrageous: Showbiz and the Culture Wars: KLIPH NESTEROFF Book Launch
With Special Guests
JAMES URBANIAK
BLAINE CAPATCH
There is a common belief that we live in unprecedented times, that nobody got offended in the past, that people are simply too sensitive today, that racism and sexism were once widely accepted without objection. Kliph Nesteroff’s OUTRAGEOUS reveals that the truth is precisely the opposite. OUTRAGEOUS chronicles the controversies of American show business and the ongoing attempts to change what we watch, read, and hear. Among the many other hysteria-oriented subjects covered in the book are the attempted censorship or suppression of Mae West, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Chubby
Checker, MTV, Welcome Back Kotter, Three’s Company, Monty Python’s Life of Brian, The Adventures of Mighty Mouse, Beavis and Butthead, The Simpsons, and much more.
WEDNESDAY, 7:30PM: Comedy Pole Show - Holiday Extravaganza CHRISTINA CALPH (Arthur, Blacklist) hosts an all-star lineup of comedians and pole dancers at the iconic Dynasty Typewriter! Enjoy Hollywood’s top comedic talent perform stand-up, musical comedy, clown and characters intermixed with the most elite pole dancers performing impressive acrobatic routines. Come laugh, get rowdy and have some drinks at the most debaucherous party in Los Angeles!

FRIDAY
🎙️ 7:30PM: TAYLOR HUGHES: The Last Sermon Comedian/Magician Taylor Hughes left his life as a former mega church pastor. He returns 10 years later to give the last sermon he was never able to share. This hilarious and heartfelt show highlights the beauty of awe and wonder while casting light on how misdirection can sneak into our lives where we least expect it. Directed by CHIPPER LOWELL
10:00PM: GABE & ALDEN’S Holiday Party Two roommates attempt to host a lavish holiday party to win a local contest, but things go awry when the colorful cast of characters go off script. “Gabe & Alden’s Holiday Party” is a full-blown one act musical in the style of a 50’s Christmas special, featuring all original songs.
Starring ALDEN DERCK, GABE GIBBS, MICHAEL MILLAN, BETSY STEWART, ANISHA JAGANNATHAN, and VIC MICHAELIS. Book, Music and Lyrics by ALDEN DERCK and GABE GIBBS. Directed by PATRICK MUHLBERGER. Choreography by KELSEY FLYNN. Produced by LAUREN CORTIZO and KATIE BARSOTTI.
SATURDAY

With Special Guests CARL TART, PAUL WELSH, JASON MANTZOUKAS, NICOLE BYER, BETSY SODARO, BRANDON SCOTT JONES, DAN BLACK, and BOBBY MOYNIHAN
Monologist: RANDALL PARK

10:30PM: Piping Hot! Piping Hot is essentially a first timer’s bagpipes lesson, but writer, comedian, and bagpiper MADELEINE HAMILTON teaches about the bagpipes through true stories of her sexual escapades. This hour-long one woman show is about love, lust, and the bagpipes. Piping Hot is funny, poignant, weird, dark, and sometimes graphic, but in ways you’d never imagine. If you’ve ever wondered what awkward first kisses have to do with the practice chanter, or a peanut butter blowjob has to do with the bag, then this is the show for you.
SUNDAY
4:00PM: The Bechdel Cast: It’s Wonderful Life The Bechdel Cast is coming at you LIVE with a holiday spectacular! Join hosts JAMIE LOFTUS and CAITLIN DURANTE for an intersectional feminist analysis of It’s a Wonderful Life!
