Darlings,
We’re snugly in the second week of January and the treading on the territory where using “happy new year” as a greeting is a bit questionable. GeT CreAtive! Maybe next time try, “I haven’t seen you since last YEAR!” and then grip your stomach as intense, unstoppable laughter pushes out of your mouth and into 2024. You can also say, “Hi!” and then just sort of organically feel out conversation but honestly, we don’t recommend that approach. Another potential greeting could be: “Hey buddy! Wanna catch a show with me at Dynasty this week?”
And then they’d say, “Hmm, like what?”
Then you could say: Well,
TONIGHT! WEDNESDAY, 7:30PM: Funny AF A live comedy show for millennials featuring stand-up comedy to scratch your nostalgia itch from JOEL KIM BOOSTER, NORI REED, JOSH TUREK, ALYSSA LIMPERIS and JACK QUAID and a game with JODIE SWEETIN (Full House). With your 30-something hosts: GLENNIS LAROE (Limestone Comedy Festival) and JENNY GORELICK (Comedy Central) The vibes will be immaculate.
THURSDAY, 7:30PM: Self Help Me w/ JENNY YANG: A Competitive Self Care Comedy Show SELF HELP ME is a competitive self-care comedy show hosted by comedian, writer and actor Jenny Yang. Every show features comedians, celebrities and wellness experts ready to test their knowledge of the latest wellness trends and reveal their own self-care obsessions. It’s like if Lovett or Leave It and @ midnight made a baby that was obsessed with wellness and lymph node massages–but also cared about the cultures and origins of these splashy trends.
Self-care already felt competitive. We just made our anxieties into a show.
“What’s the point of self-care if you can’t win? Do you even charge your crystals, bro?” – JENNY YANG | HOST + LIFESTYLE DIRECTOR
