Oh Darlins,
Sharpen your horns and get ready for some bull, cause it’s Taurus season, hunnnnnies, and we’re ready to charge into it with gusto. Last week was as lovely and varied as a spring bouquet ‘round these parts. Hosting our first JFL Showcase was a treat, and we got were introduced to some amazing new talent, poutine it all on the line for their comedy career! (Not exactly but we are REQUIRED by law to make a poutine joke and this felt more than passable.) WHO WILL  WIN AND GO TO MONTREAL? We have no idea and have nothing to do with that, but we’re rooting for everyone…. especially our favorites. Who we can’t name but we can wink about ;) ;) ;) We also had the full-on pleasure of seeing TOM KENNY & The Hi-Seas LIVE at the fabulous DANA GOULD Hour! What a thrill! Tom Kenny is every bit the charming and electric showman you’d hope for, AND he brought THREE flarkin' flautists. (Yes! We’re bragging!) Friday got trippy with SHANE MAUSS’s science talk about MDMA and then ANNE LANE’s Variety Hour which provided the theater’s first opportunity to clean up fish guts. (It took the LA Philharmonic 14 years to claim this important milesetone, so we're well on our way to something.) Saturday we put on a train themed Dynasty Tonight for the ages, complete with a be-kerchiefed and engineer-hatted staff, railway soundscapes, a killer lineup and THE PIGMAN presenting a cathartic round of PIG WHACK.
 Now, Passover has passed (as far as Jamie knows) and Easter has risen (as far as Vanessa knows) and here we are with a week of spring flings for ya! TONIGHT we are so excited to celebrate the one year anniversary (the paper anniversary!) of TEAM COCO’s UP & UP! We’re so grateful for a year of wonderful shows with this team. How are they celebrating? With this ridiculous line-up: the marvelous and unfairly good looking host MOSES STORM! MARIA BAMFORD! ANDY RICHTER! FLULA BORG! JAMES ADOMIAN! ADAM CAYTON-HOLLAND! VIR DAS! The band STRANGE HOTELS! Sheeesh! That’s how ya do it! Come on down!
WEDNESDAY is our favorite midweek treat, WORKJUICE WEDNESDAY! It’s improv from the cast of the legendary Thrilling Adventure Hour. You never know what they’re gonna do next! And if you do, then you’re psychic and should monetize that! Or not, if that makes you feel weird. This week's cast includes JANET VARNEY, ANNIE SAVAGE, HAL LUBLIN, MARK GAGLIARDI, and special guest monologist, JAMES URBANIAK!
THURSDAY we’re so happy to have the sweetiest sweetie that ever sweetied, JOSH GONDELMAN for his Dancing on a Weeknight album release! He’s gonna tell jokes, and so are his friends. Friends like DANIELLE PEREZ, RHEA BUTCHER, CHRIS GARCIA and more! And then at 10pm, it’ll be verrrry spoooooky with Ghost Town Podcast live! (About the dead!) Join hosts REBECCA LEIB and JASON HORTON and have some fun gettin’ creeped.
FRIDAY we’ve got the Friday 40 with DAVE HOLMES and SCOTT GIMPLE featuring special guests AISHA TYLER and LUKE NULL! SATURDAY the folks from Voyager Institute, Friday Night Frights, and Secret 16 present 90s NIGHTMARES: A 16mm Horror Film Marathon! The lineup is a secret! The genre and time frame and way of presenting are NOT. Come join the terrifying fun! SUNDAY it's time to bask in the glory of JANEANE GAROFALO! She’s been a feature in some of our favorite films, a shining gem on some of the best shows, and now she’s going to be at at the Dynasty. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? If you can’t, remember, seeing is believing. So come, see, believe.
Knick-knack piggywhack,
Jamie & Vanessa

Who knew the #marqueemarq post that would incite the most activity (not to be confused with the most “likes”) would be about phone preference? (He doesn’t prefer it.) Communicate however you like, but #marqueemarq will never stop markin’ his territory with his (usually benign) opinions.
