Dynasty Dygest: June 25th

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

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.

(and gave birth this morning to a human baby called Francie.) Jamie's back in a HEALTHY-ISH POPSICLE PHASE.

Dynasty Dygest: June 18th

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

June Moon Darlings,    Can you feel it? We are in the wake of last night’s full moon, so if you or a loved one has been extra feral, blame it on that. If you’ve been steady as they come, congrats on your disposition! Must be nice to be stable. Speaking of stables, our stable of shows last week was chock full of priiiiiize ponies! Let us tell you about these hottie trotties! First on the line, master stallion DREW DROEGE came out the gates strong and finished like a champion with the UNIVERSE premiere of his new show, Happy Birthday Doug! It was a triumph. Hilarious, insane, with well-crafted characters that made us howl, groan, and eventually stand up clapping (AKA standing-ovation) BOTH NIGHTS. Drew, you contain multitudes! Thank you for letting us have a peek inside. Our Dynasty Pryde show on Thursday was a rainbow of goodness, with a repeat onstage appearance of MARGARET CHO’s beautiful baby dog LUCIA, a visit from SAM PANCAKE's wheelchair wielding drama-queen crooner Fritzie Zimmer, JOEL KIM BOOSTER giving us terrifying insight into cruise culture, and ERIN FOLEY regaling us with tales of being rebuffed from an octogenarian-buffet and more. Friday night brought out the FRIGHTS with (count ‘em) not one but FOUR horror films! YES, we had four screenings in one night and they were ALL scary. For one night only the Dynasty was a real nightmare factory, but don’t worry, we quickly resumed our dreaminess / fever-dreaminess. Saturday was the sold out UNIVERSE premiere (two UNIVERSE premieres in one week!? Who do we think we are!?) of The Fast and The Furious: The Musical Parody. And if you DON’T like tight harmonies, cardboard muscle cars, hot girls in bald caps and dudes dressed as traffic cones, then YOU ARE NOT OUR PEOPLE. But if you’re merely not SURE if you’d like those things, then you should come and see and you will find out you DO indeed like those things and you will comfortably be back in the territory of being our beloved people. To get back to that horse metaphor that we started and abandoned up at the top of this newsie, this show was a thoroughbred on ‘roids, BULGING with horsepower ( <— that’s a sort of hybrid horse and car joke that doesn’t QUITE check out, and might not even QUITE qualify as a joke, but hopefully conveys the sense of testosterone-drama we intend.)  Sunday Wild, Wild Christian took us all on a trip to the grounds of what was once Rajneeshpuram, but at the time of our tale a different cult had taken over. A Christian summer camp, full of Jesus-y ideas and decidedly non-Jesus-y coming of age hormones. Both cults teach the important lesson: humans be critters.    TONIGHT our spirits are high because it’s TEAM COCO Presents Up & Up! MOSES STORM & co always put on the best, most well-produced, high energy show and tonight they’ve got NICK KROLL, DEMETRI MARTIN, FLULA BORG, BILLY WAYNE DAVIS, NAOMI EKPERIGIN, and SNL’s CHRIS REDD! Get your tickets and get your spirits UP and up!  WEDNESDAY night, it’s the delightful, hilarious, burrito lovin’ BETH STELLING. We’re huge #StellHeads and we’re so excited to see her hour! She’s (as her last album stated) simply the Beth. THURSDAY sneak out of your house and come get HIGH (Diary) with us! It’s a very special edition of LINDSAY AMES’ cringetastic diary reading show featuring JON BASS, JACKIE ZEBROWSKI, SANDY HONIG, AMIR K and more… and high!  And at 10pm we get CREEPY with MICKEY ROURKE in Nightmare Cinema! This screening (screaming!?) is sold out, boos. Let that be a lesson to you! A lesson about getting tickets quickly or suffering the GOMO™.    FRIDAY makes us wish we’d kept that horse metaphor going because we’d really be hitting the boJackpot right about now. We’re so excited for BoJack Horseman creator and executive producer RAPHAEL BOB-WAKSBERG to come to the Dynasty with his brand new book of stories, Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory! Come hear him read and get the book so you can hear yourself read it too! Then at 10pm we welcome the threesome we fell in love with just weeks ago, NICK KOCHER, DEMI ADEJUYIGBE, and ADDIE WEYRICH in their free-wheeling merrymaking show, Everything’s Great! With special guests SABRINA JALEES, KYLE MOONEY, SANDY HONIG and more!    Gotta go - the toaster just dinged and that means it’s BAGEL BITES o’clock!    Feels like a great time to remind you that, contrary to popular belief, there IS a WAY TO EAT PIZZA ANY TIME. (When it’s on a bagel.)    Jamie & Vanessa  Tuesday, June 18  | 8pm Team Coco presents Up & Up with Moses Storm An evening of comedy and variety featuring Demetri Martin, Flula Borg, Nick Kroll, Demetri Martin, Billy Wayne Davis, Naomi Ekperigin, Chris Redd, & More! Purchase Tickets →   Wednesday, June 19 | 8pm BETH STELLING Spend an enchanting evening with comedian Beth Stelling (The Standups, Crashing, I Love YOu America) at Dynasty Typewriter! Purchase Tickets →   Thursday, June 20 | 8pm High Diary w/Lindsay Ames The show where comedians reveal their most private moments publicly - HIGH. Featuring: Brittany Furlan, Jon Bass, Jackie Zebrowski, Sandy Honig, Amir K, and more! Purchase Tickets →   Thursday, June 20 | 10pm  Nightmare Cinema Cranked Up + Shudder present a feature film presented by some of Horrors most legendary directors: Mick Garris, Joe Dante, Alejandro Brugues & Ryuhei Kitamura.  SOLD OUT    Friday, June 21  | 8pm  Raphael Bob-Waksberg Book Launch Skylight Book presents the official launch event for Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory, by Raphael Bob-Waksberg (the creator and executive producer of the Netflix series BoJack Horseman).  Purchase Tickets → Friday, June 21  | 10pm  Everything's Great! with Demi, Nick, & Addie Nick Kocher, Demi Adejuyigbe, & Addie Weyrich presents a comedy variety show featuring special guests Sabrina Jalees, Kyle Mooney, Sandy Honig, + Danielle Perez! Purchase Tickets  → Monday, June 24  | 8pm  Harmontown Dan Harmon (Community, Rick & Morty), “comptroller” Jeff B.

Dynasty Dygest: June 10

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Beautiful darlings, How are you? <— Such a classic and unimpeachable way to kick off a newsletter. Uninspired? SURE! But offensive? HARDLY. It’s starting to feel like summer out here, which has us ready for the beach*! (*More inside-nights at the theater! All the fun of the beach without the sand in your trousers!) Things got steamy last week, with a roster of shows that were turning up the heatttt, hun! The SHELF LIFE screening was an amazing opportunity to get to watch a bizarre comedy gem never given the chance to shine in the theater. What a treat! JOHN EARLY can add moderator to the list of things at which he’s flawless. The MOTHER JONES Food For Thought event was delllllicious, insightful, and we can now say with certainty, yes, FRAN DRESCHER is the icon you need. Regardless of how you feel about her Nanny work, she was in UHF, which makes her indelible in our* (*Jamie's) book and Spinal Tap which gives her Goddess Status in our OTHER* (*Vanessa's) book . The event ended with humanitarian and grammy-nominated musician ROCKY DAWUNI getting the entire crowd on their feet singing, and it sounded so beautiful and gave us hope for the future! Ah, MAGIC, Dynasty Style. Thursday we emo-ed out with Every Place I Cry (so many feelings! So much eyeliner!) and then felt very hip at the Subtle Pride show!  It was an honor to host their West Coast debut! They are triple threats: great musicians, delightfully absurd, and sooooo cool. Like, cooler than a sun wearing sunglasses. WE KNOW.  Friday GREG BEHRENDT presented an epic hour of a concert performance / story telling that had the room boppin’ and laughin’ along to the evergreen tale of an American musician turned Japanese cosmetics mogul. Podcast the Ride was a RIDE: sold out show, lovely crowd, and the Dynasty walls have 100% never seen more Hawaiian shirts or jean jackets bedazzled with Disney enamel pins. And we ain’t complaining, sweetie. Saturday TIM HIEDECKER’s album release was pitch perfect, except that we were left to wrestle with the unfair facts of life that some people can be that funny and that earnestly good at music. Then, CLOWNVIS took the stage… and our hearts. (Also we had some hot audience sightings! Clownvis fans include VIC BERGER and RICHIE THE BARBER!)  Last night was RUSSELL BRAND and honestly, we didn’t know what to expect! From his huge roles in film to his Instagram guru presence, what brand of brand was coming in? Safe to say it was all of them (with a heavy lean into guru, including stories about hanging with ECKHART TOLLE and the DALAI LAMA. Soon he'll be able to add stories about hanging out with VANESSA RAGLAND and JAMIE FLAM to that list!) After Russell, JACQUELINE NOVAK and JOHN EARLY split the bill, and the bill was, per usual, priiiiiiceless.   THIS WEEK is going to be a rainbow of goodness, starting with TONIGHT and WEDNESDAY's debut performances of a new one-person show from one of our favorite brains/humans, the incomparable DREW DROEGE! Get ready to celebrate, it’s Happy Birthday Doug! The show description is so good we have to share it: "Doug is turning 41 today. He’s visited by friends, nightmares, a few exes, and even a ghost. Imagine a gay Christmas Carol/modern day exorcism set in a wine bar in Silverlake. Welcome to the party!” If you’ve ever seen Drew perform you’ve already gotten tickets to this no-brainer, and if you HAVEN’T seen him, make this the time. He’s hilarious, has a singular talent for insane characters that teeter on the line between reality and absurdity, and beyond that he’s just a really great human. THURSDAY we’re celebrating Pride! But since it’s a Dynasty show we’re spelling it PRYDE because, we love Ys. It’s Dynasty Tonight, Pryde of Dynasty Edition! And we are beyond PROUD to have this lineup: JOEL KIM BOOSTER, MARGARET CHO, SAM PANCAKE, DAN FRANZESE, ERIN FOLEY and more! FRIDAY get ready to get scared, boos! At 5:30 grab your snacks and drinks and get cozy (on the edge of your seat) for a triple feature from Cranked Up & Shudder: An Evening of Nightmares with JOE DANTE, MICK GARRIS, and ALEJANDRO BRUGUES. Films on the docket include: Sleep Walkers, Juan of the Dead, and Piranha. In addition to the films, there will be Q & A with the directors! Then a 11pm, Friday Night Frights presents a screening of SHAKMA. What’s Shakma? Just a story about an RPG game gone wrong and a bloodthirsty lab baboon, and guess what? MONTY COX, owner of TYPHOON the baboon (who portrayed Shakma) is going to join in for a Q & A, and will have his memoir about a life working with exotic animals on film with him! Finally, Jamie and Vanessa will have a forum to ask their burning questions about MR. ED, LUCKY from ALF, and re-hash some issues regarding the criminally overrated EDDIE from Frasier (just another average Jack Russell delivering a generic performance. It shoulda been a mutt!) SATURDAY we are so truly hyped (pumped? AMPED!) for The Fast and The Furious: Musical Parody but, the tickets sold in the manor of the film: fastly and with fury. It is sold out, but who’s to say if that’s because the cast, crew, and producer are truly amazing (and the sneak peeks of musical numbers we’ve seen are DREAMS) or if it’s just the contagious Midas touch of being connected to the Best Movie Franchise Ever. See you Saturday, family.  SUNDAY at 6pm come hear the tale of a Wild, Wild Christian. SIMONE MCALONEN’s hilarious and true coming of age story… set on a ranch in Central Oregon which was transformed from the Rajneeshee’s murderous sext cult stomping grounds to a wholesome Christian Summer Camp. (Yes, there are similarities.) Sunday is also Father’s Day! Send your sweet cards right now! Or if it’s a complicated day for you, celebrate or ignore in a manner that serves you. It's your life, hon, and we celebrate what you celebrate and how you celebrate it (exceptions apply)! MONDAY, Harmontown will be back in session with special guest YEARDLEY SMITH. Yep! LISA SIMPSON will be at the Dynasty. EYES WILL ROLL (in a good way)! get bent,  Vanessa & Jamie    REFLECTIONS FOR REFLECTING ON A New Occasional Dynasty Newsletter Mini-Section by Jamie Flam Hi, it's me, Jamie Flam from Dynasty Typewriter! If you were at the theater last week you may have been like "I'm having the best time like I do every time I'm here but something feels just slightly off."  You may have suspected it was the ghosts that live here (and usually it is), but this time it was definitely because I wasn't on the premises. You see, last week I was able to get away and completely disconnect for the first time since we opened the theater a year and a half ago! I spent a few nights at a silent retreat at a hermitage up in the mountains near Big Sur, where internet and cell connections were rendered useless and the views of the Pacific were rendered priceless! FYI, The Pacific is what's called an "ocean." Go figure! Not being able to use my phone was terrifying, as like for so many of us it's become quite the addiction, but it was ultimately liberating AF! I highly recommend you try it as it forces you to be ok to just exist. And existence can be not torturous if you pay attention! Great insights were had as I gazed into the clouds or the trees or the ocean or the animals (I saw a bunch of birds and a bunny and a dern snake!), and now I am back in Los Angeles feeling revived and relaxed and less self-judgey. I've even including a selfie I took... of myself! But don't focus on me, focus on the lush greenery... My eyes! The good news is that with all my new enlightenment I haven't lost my brilliant zaniness or penchant for exclamation points!!! Why am I writing this and including it in our newsletter where we usually tell you about shows? Because we are more than just a theater. We are human beings trying to make sense of this flarkin' life and we want to share what we learn, even if it's not directly related to the theater. But really it is, because everything is connected. I learned that last week. Point is, put your phone down, take some deep breaths, look at some plants, take a trip if you are able, and love yourself best you can because you're a damn treasure. And do yourself a favor and get yourself a Dynasty t-shirt. They are as stylish as they are comfortable. Oh, I went to the aquarium in Monterey, and sea otters are fucking great! TO BE CONTINUED Tues, June 11 + Wed June 12 | 8pm HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG by Drew Droege Doug is turning 41. He’s visited by friends, nightmares, a few exes, and even a ghost.

Dynasty Dygest — June 4th

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

June baddaBOOM Darlins! Happy Pride month honeys of all shapes, sizes, identities and orientations! June has started and she’s… magnificent. So far it’s been gloomy outdoors here (Narmee Dynasty always said, "June glooms bring July grooms” so, men on the verge of commitment, REJOICE and get your fingers ring-ready!) But inside the walls of the Dynasty, the sun has been shinin’ as brightly as e’er. We closed out May with some real gems, including ADAM SANDLER’s shows (he’s still got it!) and THE WORKJUICE PLAYERS serving up an amazing make-believe complete with Criminal Mind's KIRSTEN VANGSNESS’ reoccurring role as an immortal tequila worm (typecasting WORKS, Hollywood!) We also had our first (of many?) Daddy-themed romantic RPG event with audience members dressed in Dad cosplay. We’d go on, but that was a pretty evocative last sentence, and truly we’d rather leave the details up to your very skilled imaginations.  Friday night we enjoyed a double-header evening of comedy from the Everything’s Great Crew (DEMI ADEJUYIGBE, NICK KOCHER & ADDIE WEYRICH) and the boyz of BUTT (CHRIS STEPHENS and JOE MCADAM.) Then Saturday, it was JUNE! Saturday’s GO DAY was a success (come to the next one! Free, first Saturday of the month!) and we got career advice, writing tips, soulful guidance, and a monitor puppet lesson. It was wonderful to get inspired by our community, get reminded of the importance of play and failure, and eat ice cream. (Yeah, we ate ice cream.)  Saturday night’s Dynasty Tonight! was a THRILL, with the whole lineup delivering magical performances (especially the magician) and with the added bonus & bragging point of it being the first show MARGARET CHO wore her dog onstage for. That’s right, a beautiful 3 pound chihuahua named Lucia had the best seat in the house on Margaret’s hip. Sunday’s preview of JACQUELINE NOVAK’S Get On Your Knees was amazing, and if you get a chance to see it DO. Also you might get a chance to see it realllll soon! Which brings us to THIS marvelous week! TONIGHT we’re a movie theater, baby! We’re so excited to screen SHELF LIFE, the never-released, undiscovered final feature film from legendary director PAUL BARTEL. This film went unreleased, but the 35mm negative was discovered just in time for the 25th anniversary. Join us to watch it, and to enjoy a Q & A led by darling JOHN EARLY with special guests/co-stars/ co-writers O-LAN JONES, ANDREA STEIN and JIM TURNER. WEDNESDAY we’re hosting Food For Thought: a conversation about access, affordability, and equity in the food system. Brought to us by MOTHER JONES and FOOD TANK, you’ll get to hear from some of today’s leaders in food, chefs, restauranteurs, advocates AND some very special guests… including, FRAN DRESCHER. (WE KNOW.) THURSDAY we hope you’re in the mood for moods, because we’ve got two shows serving them up in big, musical ways. At 8pm it’s Every Place I Cry, the improvised emo concert with a live band and four lead singers you know and love (including OffBook’s JESS MCKENNA and ZACH REINO, Improvised Shakespeare’s ROSS BRYANT, and Duncanville’s NICK MANDERNACH).

We’d tell you more great things, but it would just break your heart because this show is SOLD OUT. SATURDAY we’ve got TIM HEIDECKER & His Very Good Band’s Record Release show! We love music, we love Tim, and we love not knowing what’s real and what’s completely made-up, so we’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. And, ladies and gentlemen and folks of all folkness, we just announced a 10pm show for that evening… CLOWNVIS. He’s more than a Clown Elvis…. he’s our FAVORITE Clown Elvis, he’s the King of Clowns, and we’re longtime fans. If you haven’t seen him perform, PLEASE COME because you will fall in love, and if you HAVE seen him perform, you probably stopped reading and went to get tickets because you couldn’t wait and you’re so excited and we get it. He’ll be bringing a lineup of some of his friends, who we’ll announce as this week unfolds like the flower she is. SUNDAY, it’s ELENI MANDELL’s record release party!  Wake Up Again is Eleni’s 11th studio release, and we cant wait to hear her perform pieces from the album!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Put on your lil’ tweed hats and get ready to shout “penny for a pape!” cause it’s newsie time, ya Dynasty rapscallions! “Newsie” is our hot D’internal™ term for the the newsletter, and sometimes we call her Lil’ Newsie.  Well, now you’re on the inside. HOW DOES IT FEEL! Not so Tuesday-bluesday anymore, eh?   Here we goOoOoOoOoOoO! HELLO DARLINGS! How the flark are ya?  Over here we’re so full of wild feelings we’re ready to wolf-howl at the still-full looking moon! Speaking of wolf howl, MICHELLE WOLF. Wow. Her completely sold-out show this Sunday was one of our favorite things we’ve ever had at the theater. POW ER HOUSE. She was truly amazing and a pro beyond pros. If you only know her from the Daily Show, we kindly implore you to watch everything else she’s ever done now please, mmmkay? We followed her show by turning our showroom into a home (away from home) box office, and streaming the last episode of that dragon show to a full house! Dornish Wine & Giant’s Milk were consumed, screams were screamed, and really big feelings were felt.  Earlier in the week we’d been treated to powerhouse shows by NORE DAVIS and NAOMI EKPERIGAN and basically… we believe that the children AND these comics are the future. And now on to the saviors of the immediate- like, right now- future.   TONIGHT!  Our favorite folks (TEAM COCO) bring us our favorite show, Up & Up! With your manic pixie dream boy host, MOSES STORM.

Grab your Dynapop™ and your pop culture obsoossed besties and find out.  THURSDAY  it’s the most intensely nice show you’ll ever see, it’s KYLE AYERS’ competitive compliment contest Boast Rattle!  WE LOVE THIS SHOW. It’s comics going head to head to out-nice each other, and you get to be ringside to the madness. This lineup is CRAZY, and MARA WILSON is a guest judge. MARA WILSON. Anyone?? Matilda! Mrs. Doubtfire! Miracle on 34th Street! And more as a grown up a very smart and successful author! But….MATILDA. SHE’S THE DREAM. (And so was Ms. Honey, are we right darlings? A honey indeeeeed! Awooga!) And the contestants include: MARTHA KELLY! DEBRA DIGIOVANNI! STEPH TOLEV! DANIEL VAN KIRK! And juuuuuust when you thought that was all the great things we could say about this great show, Kyle will be donating the proceeds to the Yellowhammer Fund. Oh Kyle. We swoon. And at 10pm, offset that sweetness with a savory little snack of BLAKE WEXLER’s You Dirty Snitch - the show where comedian’s reminisce about ratting out their friend… and then that friend gets an opportunity to get revenge on stage. Yowch and also sign us right on up.  With BLAKE WEXLER & TODD GLASS! CHRISTINE MEDRANO & TERESA LEE!

Dynasty Dygest: MAY 16TH

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

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 Tuesday, May 14 | 8pm NORE DAVIS Headlines in Los Angles for the first time ever for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
