Photo Recap: Dynasty Tonight! 10.21.24

Dynasty Tonight! is a semi-weekly live show with performances from incredible stand-up comics and musical variety acts! We handpicked every performer to bring only the best artists (and humans!) to you. A celebrated Dynasty entertainment tradition, now over 300 years old. Dynasty founders, JAMIE FLAM and VANESSA RAGLAND, carry on the centuries-old legacy of their forebearers, Orl & Halcyon Dynasty, who started the mission of creating enchanting experiences for humans. While the location evolved (from a bat-infested cave on a secret island to a historic theater in the heart of Los Angeles), the essence never changed: Dynasty Tonight! was a joyous celebration of the human experience, expression, connection, and yes—out-of-this-world popcorn.

This edition’s special guests included:

REGGIE WATTS (Comedy Bang! Bang!), KATE BERLANT (KATE), BRENT WEINBACH (Dress Up Gang), STEPH TOLEV (Steph Infection), with music by THE DYNASTIES and…a surprise Wedding!

Photo Recap: Michael Ausiello’s Beverly Hills

Back in the '80s, when Michael Ausiello was a closeted gay teen living in small-town New Jersey, he penned 517 episodes of a daytime soap opera titled "Beverly Hills." Miraculously, he saved every handwritten script. Now, four decades later, some of the biggest names in comedy came together to perform a 60-minute reading of a self-contained story arc that found six of "Beverly Hills'" most popular characters traveling overseas for a life-or-death adventure. Although some of Teenage Michael’s atrocious spelling was cleaned up for this theatrical experience, the scenes were performed exactly as they were written nearly 40 years ago— for better or worse. Thanks to all the amazing cast who came together to make this event happen: Caitlin Reilly, Tony Hale, Dulé Hill, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, Melissa Fumero, Mitch Silpa, Patrick Gallagher, Sarah Ramos, Tony Rodrigues, Tristan Michael Brown. Additional thanks to Patrick Cotnoir for co-producing the event and Tom DeTrinis for directing.
