Darlings,
Who’s still weeeeeeping form Everything Everywhere All At Once’s genuine spirit of humility, absurdity, kindness and play?! We are! We had a very fun night at Dynasty watching the Oscars on the big screen with a whole bunch of our dolled-up darlings! DAVE HOLMES (our hero, our love) was the host with the most, and several of our audience gave awards acceptance speeches throughout the night, and we ate a lot of pizza and popcorn because we’re nothing if we’re not predictable. And now, here we are looking to finish off March with chutzpah and pizazz because baby, we’re FIVE’N THRIVIN’. (We’re celebrating our Quinquennial this month!)
Oh also just FYI, OZZY OSBOURNE came to the theater to watch his amazing daughter KELLY in this month's The Last Improv Show. And last week GENE SIMMONS was in the audience. So, politely exqueeze us as we dump the HOT, electric anthemic cream out of our ripped up arena sized leather pants. Life is rock. Rock is life. (For the record, SHARON was also in attendance and was genuinely soooo nice. And Gene Simmons inquired if we sold hot dogs. We do not.)
🥛ANYWAY! SHOWS!
TONIGHT! MONDAY 3/13 at 7:30PM Maybe This Is Something? A Workout Show with Your Pal APARNA NANCHERLA! ALMOST SOLD OUT Due to events personal, professional, and global, Aparna has not done stand-up in a dangerously long time, so long the craft is but a distant memory of a winking emoji. But, guess what? She’s making a soft comeback. Will it be triumphant slash fine? Oh heck ya. Witness the half-baked ideas and the almost-jokes in real time. Plus: She’s calling in many favors, so her talented friends will also pop by with standup and emotional support. Come be a PART OF THE ARTISTIC PROCESS! (Also on the show SHENG WANG, RACHEL JORAVSKY, and LEAH BONNEMA!)
🧪 TUESDAY at 7:30PM The Funny Or Die Lab! Our pals at Funny or Die come over to Dynasty and put together some wild new material shows with three of the very best character performers out there! And the audience will vote on which characters they like best. COMEDY AND DEMOCRACY. We love to see it.
WEDNESDAY at 7:30PM Steady Holiday Album Release Show! Steady Holiday is the solo vehicle for Los Angeles singer-songwriter DRE BABINSKI’s deeply personal and cinematic storytelling. Characterized by her featherlight voice and sweeping strings (played by Babinski herself), Steady Holiday elegantly sways between plainspoken and profound. Steady Holiday is celebrating the release of their 4th album, Newfound Oxygen, a clear-eyed reckoning with the hard lessons of growing up and learning to live sustainably.
THURSDAY at 7:30PM LOVETT or Leave It: Live Free or Dynasty JON LOVETT will be joined by EMILY HELLER in hosting a very special night of stand up featuring some of our faves:
