See our full calendar here →  Darlin's, Does anyone else in Los Angeles live in a place without A/C? We salute you in these most sweaty of days, when the late afternoon hours become unbearable, laundry is a constant, and run of the mill doom scrolling becomes.... wetter. Look, just trying to connect with you here. If you DO have A/C and have no empathy, let's try connect on something else. Like, I don't know, how about SPORTS! The Olympics are coming up in Paris and NBA Summer League has been off the chain. Right?!  At this point we gotta be connected, right? Still no? Ok, how about this: On my way home from the theater last week I was at a light waiting to make a left hand turn onto Temple off of Rampart (hoping this specificity adds credibility and connectability). The left hand turn arrow there is notoriously short and the arrow becomes red after that so if you don't make it you gotta wait a whole new cycle and who has the time for that?! There were three cars in front of me, which bodes well for making the light. That is if everyone is ready to go. But I clocked that the car in front of me had a full car length and a half between them and the car in front of them (unacceptable!) which told me that this person did not have their head in the game. As we like to say here at Dynasty when it comes to waiting at stoplights, "FILL THE GAP!" When the arrow turned green the car not only didn't fill the gap, it didn't move at all for a good 7 seconds. Which elicited a light tap on my horn (which truly is only used sparingly for situations like this! We are not a serial honker, promise!) and then of course, we know what happens next: This non-gap filling motherflarper made the light, but I was left having to wait there for the next full cycle. I refuse to play the victim card as I know we're all humans just trying to make sense of this existence, and who knows what anyone is going through at any given point that affects their focus and this didn't appear to be a personal attack. That said, if YOU think that we are victims of poor drivers or if you think that you are a bad driver and want to apologize, we're here for it. Send us an email venting your own driving frustrations or tips you use to stay sane on these LA streets! Or any streets really! Now that we are no doubt fully connected: We got another magical week of fun stuff at Dynasty! Including an exciting burlesque show, the return of Lovett or Leave It, two amazing improv shows, and our final Dynasty Tonight! of the season this Saturday! Join us, please!! A/C always set at a cool 69 degrees (really)!

Dynasty Tonight! is a Dynasty entertainment tradition over 300 years young. Dynasty founders, Jamie Flam and Vanessa Ragland, have made it their mission to continue the centuries-old inspirational work of their forebearers, Orl & Halcyon Dynasty – that is, creating enchanting experiences for humans. The location has changed (from a bat-ruled cave on a secret island to a historic theater in the heart of Los Angeles) but the spirit remains: Dynasty Tonight! is a celebration of the human experience, human expression, human connection, and out-of-this worrrrlllld popcorn.

See our full calendar here →  Sweet Summer Darlings, As things develop across the country and world that could only be described as "UH-OH!" we are reminded why we opened our venue here in Los Angeles: Escape, baby! At least temporary escape! As we tell our staff, as soon as anyone walks through the doors of Dynasty (note to self, "The Doors of Dynasty" needs to be something), they should be able to leave their every day behind them and enter our realm of enchantment where everyone is like SO KIND. That goes for them, our lovely audience, and the wonderful talent that we host on our stage. Even the delivery drivers should feel like they are entering a magical space as they leave boxes of popcorn, hot Dynasty merch, and sometimes rat bones. To that end we are nice and generally offer them water. And THAT'S The Dynasty Difference!™ By the way, we have a hot new Dynasty t-shirt, a relic of a bygone Dynasty Bed & Breakfast in New England where very specific brands of tomfoolery were encouraged, or at least tolerated to the point of celebration and merchandising. Get your Dine-Ass-Tee today! Anyhoo, this coming week at Dynasty starts where last week left off, with so many shows that make us flarpin' pinch ourselves! And like last week, most of them are also being livestreamed! So you can watch them pretty much anywhere! Last bit of news on the livestream front: if you didn't hear, we're going to be helping produce a livestream of the HANDSOME PODCAST (Tig, Meg, and Fortune) from all the way in Toronto next month! Our first international livestreaming adventure! Get your tickets, it's going to be a blast! Now, scroll below for the rest of the week at Dynasty so you can pinch yourself too! Lol! Pinchy Pinchy!

See our full calendar here →  Dearest Dynasty Darlings (Da OG Triple D!), Let's go ahead and start this weekly transmission with a FUN FACT: You (yes, you!) have the infinite wisdom of the entire universe in every cell of your body. Isn't that rad?? Yes, even on a Monday! Maybe even especially on a Monday? Sure, ok! This is something we remind ourselves over here at DTHQ several times a day, generally after bouts of angst or self doubt regarding our [path in life/mortifying past/mortifying future/bodies/etc] or [state of the city/state/country/world]. Or even other stuff! In any case, it's helpful to be reminded of a more magical, enchanting frequency, even if it's difficult to access a lot of the time. If this doesn't resonate or you prefer to wallow, we get it! Let's take a moment to connect on a BATSHIT FACT: Between 7pm and 3am on July 4th/5th, Angelenos set off a world record 18 TRILLION consecutive fireworks! This has been VERIFIED by everyone we've spoken to about it. Do you live in another city that you think may have eclipsed this number? Email us to provoke a fictional firework statistics-off! In other news, with VAN(essa) representing on the East Coast for a little bit (is Virginia considered the East Coast? Sound off in the comments!), JAM(ie) had to find a suitable co-host for Dynasty Tonight! this past Saturday. A tall task indeed to find a human who could meet the ferocious talent of V, but luckily there was another V in the house: Vikki Flam aka Jamie's mom! As a Dynasty Tonight! regular, Vikki was able to summons Vanessa's spirit, kicking out the bad stuff, giving away prizes, and introducing the house band The Dynasties, much to the wonderful audience's delight! We all learned the hard way that Vikki is a  CAPRICORN, not an AQUARIUS as Jamie told Sammy Twelvefingers to announce at the top of the show. Never been to a Dynasty Tonight! before and curious about words like "kicking out the bad stuff" and "Sammy Twelvefingers?" Well there's another one THIS SATURDAY, and hell, you should come on down and see it for yourself! Also this coming week? SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. Helen Hunt?! Raven Symoné?! Adam McKay?! Kumail Nanjiani?! And More? And almost all of it being live-streamed too? As always...

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.

We just made our anxieties into a show. “What’s the point of self-care if you can’t win?

REGGIE WATTS! PAT REGAN! RACHEL KALY! MICHAEL HITCHCOCK! DANTHONY!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

See our full calendar here →  Hi-hi, it’s JULY!  Keep yer pets indoors and put on their thunder coats, because (at least in our LA neighborhoods) July means scorching heat and illicit terrifying fireworks every night at the strangest hours possible! It’s all because PATRIOTISM we’re sure. Or loving to watch things burn out fast and make weird noises, which at this point…are the same thing? Yes, it’s a season of YIKES out there, and ain’t nobody winning. So why even go out there? Why not stay inside? And boy have we got the most epic air-conditioned place for you:    THIS WEEK AT DYNASTY   🛳️ TONIGHT, MONDAY, 7/1, 7:30PM: Never Let Go! Of Pride LOW TICKET WARNING NEVER LET GO is a “feat of ingenuity” (NY Times). This uproariously queer one-man show takes you back to the Ship of Dreams. It distills the three-plus hour epic and packs into one hour a surprisingly subversive punch. Kinnan, who grew up worshiping the movie and its iconic cast of characters, plays all of them with “perfectly executed comedy, pathos and homage” (ScotsGay Arts). As told by Rose, the play takes you on an intimate journey into the fateful romance that is shadowed by one of the most devastating man-made disasters of modern history – the sinking of the Titanic. NEVER LET GO is “a truly unique and absorbing high camp theatrical piece” (Culture Fix). ‍♂️  TUESDAY, 7/2, 7:00PM: The Benson Movie Interruption: Your Choice is a show where comedian Doug Benson (SUPER HIGH ME, @midnight) invites some of his comedy friends to sit in the front row of the theater with mics, cracking wise during a screening of a movie that YOU choose. That’s right, audience members are encouraged to bring a dvd/blu ray of a film they would like to see ripped apart (lovingly) and a vote will be held to determine which one we watch.  With Special Guests NOEL WELLS, GUY BRANUM, MICHAEL HITCHCOCK and more!  WEDNESDAY, 7/3, 7:30PM: Danthony and Friends With Special Guest: KISSIE JR. What if kids in a basement never stopped playing? What if they had their food delivered under the door for decades as they honed their skills, expanded their imaginations and went moderately insane? Danthony & Friends is a pop music odyssey about time, self, society, and perception — stuffed with psychedelic absurdity, philosophy, puppets, and unreasonably catchy bangers that will burrow into your mind and likely haunt you forever. All of this in a whimsical cartoon world. It’s maximum absurdity, high production jank that’s way more fun and far better than it has any business being. DANTHONY is a musician, philosopher and performance artist. Is he a Grammy-nominated and 3x gold-record-earning engineer and songwriter with over 20 million streams and climbing? Yes. He’s also an LA 7 (at least) and incredibly humble and stylish to boot.  Puppets and set by the incomparable EMMA BRADFORD. SATURDAY, 7/6   7:30PM: Dynasty Tonight! JAM (Van’s sadly out of town!) is going HAM on hosting our sometimes weekly in-house produced variety enchantaganza! Or at least will be hosting! He’ll be backed up by the amazing house-band The Dy-Nasties and fueled by an UNKNOWN POWER from a very generous God. And it's DT so you know there will be business-threatening giveaways! With Special Guests: REGGIE WATTS (Comedy Bang! Bang!) PAT REGAN (Seek Treatment) RACHEL KALY (Comedian You Should Know, Too Far Podcast) RACHEL SCANLON (Two Dykes and a Mic) + More! 🦖 🦖 10:30PM: July Sixth Park: Life Finds A Day The second annual Jurassic Park holiday live event!

Join us for the July 6th Park unofficial fan event, featuring an abridged movie watch-along, live bits, trivia, prizes and surprises all to celebrate the world’s greatest film on a date that vaguely sounds like it.  Life finds a day.  SUNDAY, 7/7, 7:30PM: City Walk The Musical! The hit new musical based on the greatest retail and dining district adjacent to a movie studio theme park in Los Angeles! Sketch team Moon Goon presents Citywalk The Musical! Welcome to Citywalk, a place where themed restaurants and retail come alive… for real. A couple goes on an unforgettable journey to the depths of the magical mall in search of adventure, passion, and $22 sugary cocktails.

Bridger Winegar! Carl Tart! Rob Huebel! Blair Socci! A *Medium* at Dynasty Tonight! More Pride stuff!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

See our full calendar here →  Hey pretty Darlings, Hope you’re able to scrape yer sticky self off the floor and give this a brief read. It’s flarpin’ HOT here in LA and we’re just human puddles scootin’ from one zone to the next. You know what’s the best way to BEAT said heat? AIR CONDISH. Something we are proud to say we have at the theater! AC really pairs best with entertainment, so in ADDITION to a temperature controlled environment, we’ve gone to great lengths to have the stage filled with some of the most amazing performers on the planet puttin’ on shows for you. Life updates: the squirrel won, and the ravaged corn has been pulled from Van’s yard. Personal updates: Jamie’s post-plant medicine journey glow has only slightly begun to dim, and we have stupid drivers and the heat to thank for that. Yeah, we said it, STUPID drivers. But Jamie does realize that ultimately it's about a failing driving educational system and likely latent ancestral trauma that causes these humans to forget to use the basic courtesy of engaging their blinkers and moreover that kinda the whole point of driving is generally to get from one place to another. So like, I don't know, maybe drive with a little more urgency and edge into the intersection when making a left hand turn? Just some ideas. Now, onto better vibes! Omg, at this Saturday’s Dynasty Tonight! we have a stellar line-up AND an amazing medium! Straight from The Hollow, JESS PERLMAN will be giving a reading to one of our audience members on stage! Get tickets for a CHANCE for the reading, and a GUARANTEE for a great night! CALLING ALL PR PEOPLE: Are you a Dynasty Darling that has a successful career in Public Relations? Are you friends or relatives with someone that has a career in Public Relations? If so, we might need your help here at Dynasty! We can give you additional info if you contact us, but long story short, we don't know how to relate to the public. Hit us up if you're interested in learning more!   THIS WEEK AT DYNASTY   🛳️ TONIGHT, MONDAY, 6/24, 7:30PM: The Gale Featuring: DREW DROEGE, MITCH SILPA, PETE ZIAS, CHRIS ECKERT, JOHN HARTMAN, LIZ FELDMAN, JIMMY FOWLIE, BRIANNA, SAM PANCAKE + More!   THE GALE is an entirely improvised comedy show that premiered on the Groundlings stage in 2015 and has been sailing (I’m sorry) out performances ever since. Created by Chris Eckert, The GALE features some of the best and funniest queer (or LGBTQ) improvisational actors in the United States. Every so often, we get together and celebrate all the joyously queer things about the world. Why then, you might ask, do we title our show after a sometimes destructive weather pattern? …Because queer folk have historically disrupted the normal ‘patterns’ of society, and often for the better. Be it Leonardo DaVinci or RuPaul, Martha P. Johnson or Harvey Milk, Barbara Gittings or Pedro Zamora, we’re constantly breaking through glass ceilings and using the shards to create intricate chandeliers of change, lighting the way for the next generation. That was way too many metaphors. But you get it.  By the way, did you know DaVinci spent his free time drawing erotic doodles?  When he wasn’t inventing, he was drawing dicks. Look that shit up.  🤫 TUESDAY, 6/25, 7:00PM: Don't Tell My Mother! LIVE AND LIVESTREAMED LOW TICKET WARNING Friends + Fam, happy PRIDE! That means coming out of the closet with your deepest truths. DON’T TELL MY MOTHER! brings your favorite actors and comedians together to tell QUEER AF stories they’d NEVER want their moms to know. Hosted by Nikki Levy.  There will be truth bombs. There will be laughter. There will be tea spilled and slurped. And most importantly, there will be chosen family shenanigans. Gird your loins, we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Tickets benefit Brave Trails LGBTQ+ summer camp.  Featuring… VICO ORTIZ (Our Flag Means Death)  RACHEL SCANLON (Two Dykes + a Mic) JEN KOBER (Netflix) KRISTIN KEY (Last Comic Standing) Musical Guests THE PUSSYBOYS!  Hosted by NIKKI LEVY Presented by California Cryobank, the #1 sperm bank in the country supporting queer folks + families.

See our full calendar here →  Hello ye Darling buds of June!,  *New Newsie Segment* Fun-4-Thought™: YOU are wonderful! YOU are the only YOU in the whole world. And get this: We’re currently (like RIGHT NOW) in a solar system! So whatever trials you’re currently experiencing, remember that there IS a chance an alien will abduct you, for better or for worse. Probably for WAY better or WAY worse. We don’t claim to know much about extra terrestrial life forms, but we have a gut feeling they don’t do anything half way. Probes included. 🥴 🥰 We’re truckin’ along regular style in the ol’ Dynamobile lately. Lots of shows, lots of ideas, lots of corn. This Saturday we launched our beautiful new accessory line of ADORNMENTS! By Dynasty at a very delightful Dynasty Tonight! While post-show adornment sales weren't massive, the audience reactions during the launch speak to a bright future for them, at least as far as people liking to look at them and hear about them. Speaking of delightful Dynasty Tonight! shows, we have another one THIS SATURDAY that will also be delightful with our house band The Dynasties, a killer line-up of stand-up comedians, VanJam hosting and giving stuff away, and we’d love to have you there. We’ve noticed a trend of the nights getting more and more (f)unhinged™, and we’d love to have you there as part of that.  In personal updates, Jamie returned from his brief ceremonial coastal retreat REVIVED and GLOWING and reminded that it’s all about loooooove, man. And he's not even being splashy about it! Meanwhile, Vanessa is madder ‘n hell at the damn squirrels who have whittled her once-thriving backyard urban cornfield into a corn graveyard, with four cornstalk sentinels watching over their falling brethren whilst expecting to join them soon. 🫡 In-person updates on these journeys are available at.. you guessed it: This Saturday's Dynasty Tonight! Where, by the way, every week we transmute your weekly troubles into weekly opportunities with our perfectly attuned physical and musical gifts. Never been to a Dynasty Tonight! before? Well hell, come on down this Saturday at no cost! Just use code FLARP at checkout to redeem this wild offer! This may sound INSANE but we've done the math and 98% of people that come to a DT show for free end up paying double when they come back the next time! And we don't even judge the 2% that don't. That's what we call The Dynasty Difference!™ Nice neighbor alert! People are always asking us where they can grab a pre or post show bite near the theater and we always mention one of our favorite nearby watering holes, The Prince! Moody, vibey, great lighting, yummy Korean food, built in the '20s (just like Dynasty!), has been featured in tons of movies and TV shows, and has that real deal LA flavor. And GOOP recommends it. (We wish you well.) And guess what! They like us too Now go on in and show them your Dynasty e-ticket from that night and get 15% off your first round of drinks for groups of 5 or fewer! Cool hack: Groups of 5 or more, break up into smaller groups. For example, got a group of 8? Create two groups of 4, stagger your entrances, get your discounts, then: "Fancy running into you here! What a transcendent show over at Dynasty! Huzzah!"Just another example of The Dynasty Difference!™ THIS WEEK AT DYNASTY   TONIGHT, MONDAY, 6/17, 7:30PM: NATALIE ROTTER-LAITMAN SOLD OUT TUESDAY, 6/18, 7:00PM: Poverty Is Not A Joke.
