Darlings!
Jamie here. You good? Great, us too! FYI, Vanessa wrote most of this newsletter yesterday, and THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY GAVE BIRTH TO A HEALTHY BABY GIRL! We don't want to say that our newsletters can definitely induce labor, but the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding's name is FRANCIE and we're already in love! She is our first of what we hope will be many (but not too many) theater babies! We're also inspired. Stay tuned for a line of Dynasty brand onesies, baby blankets, and SAFE baby mobiles. MAZEL TOV, Vanessa and John and Oliver! Now let's enjoy the rest of this lil' newsie knowing that it was fueled by Francie's impending voyage.
Last week was a delicious sherbet bowl of good flavors. TEAM COCO (our fave team! We need jerseys! Speaking of jerseys anyone have a uniform hookup? SERIOUSLY. We’re having visions of the Dynasty team in a sort of mechanic-meets-Mouseketeer shirts, and don’t know where to begin! Other than Google, we DO know about Google, sassies! Ok, back to lil’ newsie now) brought the delights with a lineup of stud-stars. NICK KROLL, DEMETRI MARTIN, and CHRIS REDD were all predictably perfect. Chris recounted some recent run-ins with fools across the pond, MOSES let us in on how he trolled thousands to their delight, and upwards of three BEASTS OF SUMMER were ordered. BETH STELLING’s hour was a treat of a show (go see her wherever and whenever you can! Including Chipotle!) High Diary had everyone floating on good vibes and getting just the right amount of TMI. The Nightmare Cinema screening was a sold out success, proving once again that horror fans are actually not scary at all! Y’all are lovely and orderly and save the screaming for the screeninnnns. You’ll all be glad to know that the creator of BoJack Horseman is lovely and wonderful and humble and not at all like the cartoon horse human he created. Everything is Great had their SECOND Dynasty show, and they are currently at 2 for 2 for sold-out delights. WILL THEY MAKE IT TO 3/3!? Defeated only by themselves? Find out next month! (Friday 7/26, 8pm!)
TONIGHT we welcome KPCC’s NANCY podcast! Come hang out with BFF’s KATHY TU and TOBIN LOW as they discuss the LGBTQIA experience! We’ll have bar for this one, lush loves! Also, the very special guests are JOEL KIM BOOSTER (we love) and astrologer superstar, CHANI NICHOLAS! WEDNESDAY we’ve got the Workjuice Players! Yes, THOSE Workjuice Players! We’re talkin’: PAUL F TOMPKINS! CRAIG CACKOWSKI! MARC EVAN JACKSON! HAL LUBLIN! ANNIE SAVAGE! MARK GAGLIARDI! and LITTLE JANET VARNEY (aw!) Come watch this thrilling cast create scenes and laughter out of thin, popcorn-scented, air. THURSDAY we will answer “What’s in a name?” when we watch and discover what exactly TOBY HUSS’ show A Bank Robbers’ Story with Penises is all about. We love Toby, he brought Dynasty the amazing and jam packed RUDY CASONI Christmas show this year, and he’ll always be Artie, The Strongest Man In the World. We cant wait to see this show. Join us! We’ll save you a seat.
FRIDAY, make it a double feature, hun! At 8pm we have The Worst Idea of All Time. The New Zealand based podcast is coming to LA and we’re so glad to have them! (And to add another notch to our New Zealander belt!) These guys deserve a heroes’ welcome, as they’ve been watching and reviewing Sex and The City: The Movie twice a week FOR CLOSE TO SIX MONTHS. It really is the worst idea. We cant wait to hear them and their just announced special guest PAUL F. TOMPKINS (twice in one week!)Then, at 10 we’ve got Get Reel! with JOE CASTLE BAKER and MAX WITTERT. What iiiiis get reel!? It’s a movie-clip based comedy show with comedians dubbing clips live. Dubbin’ in we’ve got JARED GOLDSTEIN, LAUREN WHITE, SANDY HONIG and more!
SATURDAY starts at 2pm with MELINDA HILL’s TV Writers and Comedians game show meets panel show meets perfect way to spend an afternoon with comedians and Hollywood insiders (ooooh!). At 7:30 join us for the jewel of the Dynasty, Dynasty Tonight! This week’s hand-picked array of beloveds includes: CRISTELA ALONZO! CHRIS FAIRBANKS! KIMBERLY CLARK! JARED LOGAN! Host MATT O’BRIEN and music by STRANGE HOTELS! And then at 10pm its the Dynasty Premiere of The Night Time Show the live talk show with music, comedy, and this month- a really dope wrestling poster. Special guests include JIM O’HEIR (Parks and Rec!) MAURICE LAMARCHE (all the voices in all the cartoons! Including being the BRAIN in Pinky and the Brain!) BRITNEY YOUNG and JACKIE TOHN from GLOW! And Music from LOGAN HENDERSON!
SUNDAY we welcome back our favorite quadruple threat (twerking counts for at least 3 threats, right?!) ATSUKO OKATSUKA with her woke Japanese game show, Let’s Go Atsuko!
