Photo Recap: Dynasty Typewriter At SXSW
We had a great time bringing a little bit of the Dynasty flavor to SXSW in Austin, Texas! The show was a success, with a packed room at Esther’s Follies and a lineup of twinkling stars including: Paul F Tompkins, Busy Philipps, Kurt Braunohler, Debra DiGiovanni, Megan Gailey and a cameo from internet yoga sensation, Yoga with Adriene’s Adriene Mishler. We LOVED the show, everyone killed, but you know what… we missed you Dynasty. We were reminded other crowds are… rowdy! Luckily the all-star cast served the drunk German heckler and her friends (is it still heckling if she wasn’t mean? Just like, loud?) some comedic justice (coming soon to TruTV jk but it would be good.)

😊 So GLADSBY for GADSBY + 👽Doing our part to keep AUSTIN weird + 📯👯 Bugles n' Bechdels n' Benitos and more!💫
Happy to report it’s been another great week at the Dynasty. Since last we’ve corresponded, HANNAH GADSBY has begun her run of shows, and they have been absolutely wonderful, as has she, as are her audiences! Turns out good people attract good people! So stick with the good ones and…. good stuff happens. (Still working on that adage.) In addition to Hannah’s shows, we had a screening of BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT’s film about the legendary Barry Crimmins, CALL ME LUCKY, hosted by Bobcat himself. Saturday we had the bittersweet honor of hosting the last ever KEVIN POLLAK CHAT SHOW, which is retiring after a 10 year run of talking to everyone cool. The show was great, with a hangry PAMELA ADLON and a dapper JIM JEFFERIES as the perfectly pitched high notes to go out on. SUNDAY we had an absolutely delightful GO DAY, and got creative advice and inspirations from the usual suspects: an amateur taxidermist, a show runner, a psychic puppeteer, and a tv-writer turned novelist. If those aren’t your usual suspects, you’re hangin’ around at the wrong Go Days, honey! Also of note, a Llama Puppet saw into Jamie’s heart (and throat chakra) and gave some tender advice on speaking his mind. Watch out, jerkwads, Flam is gonna start tellin' like it is! A rough n’ tumble Bunny Puppet told Vanessa it’s good for her to be living in her power with her sword out (?) and also, before bed encouraged everyone to ask themselves “Why was today the best day ever?” Listen, if a puppet says gratitude is the antidote for all that ails us, we’re going to listen.
Guess what?! We’re taking the Dynasty eastward this week and putting on a show at SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST. We’re honored to be asked and stoked to do it. The show will be called “That’s Enchantertainment™” and we’ll have PAUL F. TOMPKINS, BUSY PHILIPPS, KURT BRAUNOHLER, DEBRA DIGIOVANNI, MEGAN GAILEY, and… YOGA WITH ADRIENE. We’ll be putting on the big shebang at Esther’s Follies this Friday at 10pm, so if you’re attending the fest, stop by and attend this too!
THIS WEEK! Did you think we’d slow down? Oh nooooo, honeys. We’ve got to keep on movin’! Hannah’s reign continues, and TONIGHT we also have DANIEL WEBB’s stand-up comedy play, Parfait! This month he’s joined by the fabulous faces of SOLOMON GEORGIO, ATSUKO OKATSUKA, SYDNEE WASHINGTON, MATTHEW BROUSSARD and more! WEDNESDAY at 10:30, the whirlwind that is BENITO SKINNER will be back for his second sold-out show. FRIDAY at 10, come check out the final stop of the Comedy Royalty Tour! SATURDAY at 10pm, buckle up because it’s a PODCAST MASHUP! WHoahhhhh! Yes, The Daily Zeitgeist fellows (JACK O’BRIEN and MILES GREY) and joining up with the women of The Bechedel Cast (CAITLIN DURANTE and JAMIE LOFTUS) to dissect the news, trends, and movies from… 1999. Yep.
SUNDAY madmen JOEY GREER and MIKE CASTLE share the stage for the improvised broguish delight that is Irishprov. MONDAY the fine people of Harmontown take over, and TUESDAY we’ve got two great shows- ANDY ZALTZMAN’s bringing his smash hit podcast The Bugle across the pond, splashing it right smack tab into the Dynasty! Then JULIO TORRES will be onstage at 10, talking about (what else?) his favorite shapes.
PS: We also wanted to tell you, we’re serving coffee! Yes, we’re now a brew-hub for DynaBrew™, so the next time you're at a show, grab yourself a cuppa Joe Dynasty, or if you’re of the herbal persuasion, a cuppa Dyna’sTea. (Tea serving is currently limited to matinees and Maron shows. We have our reasons.)
Positivity!

We hope your past week was full of all the things that make you feel like the child of star-stuff that you ARE, honeys! If that’s coming on too strong for a Tuesday we don’t want to come on the correct amount. Last week was a real grab bag of goodies ranging from KYLE AYERS' Never Seen It LIVE podcast, Kiwi Kween ROSE MATAFEO’S Horndog, ATC presents with special guest CHELSEA PERETTI and… the crowing jewel of a beautiful week, our huge Valentine’s Soiree! We won’t bore you with all the details, but we will take this opportunity to gently remind you that all DynastyLand™ events are certified gold-level GOMO®. (GOMO, for the few who might need a reminder is the GUARANTEE of missing out.) Short summary: there was dancing, Dyngo, smooching, raging, typing, drinking, and meaningful interactions with a gigantic psychic bird.
In other notable news, we’d be remiss not to mention the truly stellar execution of The 2019 All-Star Curmudgeon Run. Didn’t know we’d been in a Curmudgeon Run, then honey you haven’t been paying attention! (It’s ok, we sort of realized it in hindsight also) Over the past 10 days these surly so-n-so’s fought their natural dispositions and brought joy to the Dynasty time and again, so give it up for ANDY KINDLER! MARC MARON! DAN HARMON!and a double serving of EDDIE PEPITONE! Eddie WON This Year’s All-Star Curmudgeon Run (everyone else is also a winner though, don’t worry!) with his live special tapings on Saturday night. We were so thrilled to host the recording of Eddie’s new special, and let us tell you YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. Amazingly hilarious, absurd, silly, smart, poignant, and the stage looked soooooo good. Also, Eddie was GLOWING. If you’ve never seen him glow, let us just warn you, it’s flarpin’ cute.
Finally we’re onto THIS WEEK! Oh gosh, we don’t usually spend so many blurbs on the past, but it was a great past, so, you get it.

With special guest, actor and taco king DANNY TREJO! As if you needed another reason to come, every attendee will get a free empanada! (Just typing that made us feel like flarpin' Oprah!) Afterwards we’ve got CAT COHEN which we’d love for you to see but, congratulations and condolences, it’s SOLD OUT.
THURSDAY we welcome the wonderful folks of WORKJUICE IMPROV. PAUL F. TOMPKINS and company welcome special guest BUSY PHILLIPS joining their already impeccable ranks as guest monologist.

FRIDAY’s were made for parties, and SASHEER ZAMATA is made to answer prayers. It’s SASHEER ZAMATA PARTY TIME! This edition with ESTHER POVITSKY, GIULIA ROZZI, DJ BREEZYEZ and moooore!
