Hayyyyyy Darlinsssss,
How was your weekend? So great, right? How was your Monday? Ew, right? Mondays are bad! Now, wasn’t that a relatable (if personality-less) way to start Li'l Newsie? We thought so too. So now that you know we’re JUST LIKE YOU (and stars are just like all of us! And we are all made of ACTUAL star-stuff! And no one knows how or why the universe exists! What a burden/freedom for us all! A burden because, like, shouldn’t we be TRYING to figure out how and why? A freedom because, we’re tiny specs in the galaxy, so our little life problems are actually super super minuscule, and we should release them as such and enjoy the rock ride!) Now, let's get even more personal!
BUT FIRST! Did you see in the image above? ADAM SANDLER is coming back for two shows on 5/28 & 5/29! Grab your tickets riiiiiiiight now! They will zoom! AND THE NEWSLETTER IS GETTING A 30 minute head start on the general public! WOW! FURTHER PROOF THAT LIL' NEWZIE READERS REAP REWARDS!
Last week was yer usual handful of jellybeans over here at the theater, just a lovely little assortment of things all slightly different in flavor but similar in appeal. Alchemy This was a success, complete with DAVID KOECHNER doing some unforgettable character work and also wearing some epic boots. Koechner has style! BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT’s benefit show was a success, Off Book continues to be our favorite source for improvised musical perfection, and The Bongo Hour's West Coast debut was fantastic! (The only partial negative were the cake-covered panties left in the greenroom, but it feels like a vaudeville-y #streetcred moment, or the beginning of a really fun mystery, so we ain’t complainin'.) Saturday was maybe our favorite Dynasty Tonight ever! (Our sweet staff reminded us we say that nearly every Dynasty Tonight, but you know what? IT’S ALWAYS TRUE!) The line-up was heaven, hosted by host with the most flowing hair, DANIEL WEBB and with really perfect sets brought by the whole lineup. Magic man TAYLOR HUGHES had us all mind blown with his magic tricks and OPEN MIKE EAGLE is the basically the coolest person ever who manages to be an excellent rapper and also funny and also good looking and also also so nice. We hope he doesn’t read these newsletters because then he’ll know we have a crush on him. But if he DOES read it, Mike can you check yes or no if you want to go to prom with us? Sunday SHENG WENG lived up to his show title and made everyone Feel Better and then afterwards we streamed That Dragon Show and drank meade (sounds more delicious than it is, fwiw) and got to experience the highs and lows of watching a bunch of characters perish on the BIG screen (80% more impactful than watching it on our laptops!)
THIS WEEK! TONIGHT It’s NORE DAVIS! We can’t wait to see Nore’s (Conan, 2 Dope Queens) long set! To make it even juicer, he’s bringing along some amazing friends: LANGSTON KERMAN, NASH ROSE, and WILL MILES. WEDNESDAY we have the wonderful NAOMI EKPERIGAN! She’s smart and hilarious and perfect and we can prove it if you come to this show. THURSDAY if you like improv, or music, or fun times, you are IN LUCK. (And if you don’t, we’re so sorry! What a sad life!) we welcome back Spectacle! Spectacle is a super group of improvisors who create scenes based off of performances by amazing comics, musicians, and more. This month their special guests include AGT's TAYLOR WILLIAMSON and music by PAUL RUST and MICHAEL CASSADY’s Don’t Stop or We’ll Die. SATURDAY we have a ding-dang Dynasty Tonight for you! Featuring DEBRA DIGIOVANNI, KYLE AYERS, CORY LOYKASEK and mooooore. SUNDAY's MICHELLE WOLF show is SOLD OUT! We are epically excited. Speaking of epic, after Michelle’s show, we’ll be streaming the very last episode ever of THAT DRAGON SHOW! Join us for drinks, games, and to let your screams be heard so you know they really happened. MONDAY Harmontown will be back in session (we missed you last week guys!) with special guest RYAN KRAUS from Cold Case Murder Mystery podcast!
In other news, this week we flexed back on a film crew over a parking thing and got an INCONVENIENCE FEE! Wow! That’s a thing!? It is, and we implore all our Angelenos to get in on it! We also got two new chandeliers (not that we're counting), ate chocolate crickets, and bought CBD chocolate to experiment with at concessions.
Thank you for being our friends,
Vanessa and Jamie
