http://thecoming.org The + LA + Comedy - LA - edy + ing = The Coming Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:30:29 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en As many of you know, we lost a good friend a few weeks ago. The bar at the iO West Theater was struck and killed by a drunk driver one fateful Thursday afternoon. He is survived by a loving and supportive cast and staff, many of whom are finding it ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/18/in-memoriam/ Because it sounds so off-the-chain hilariously fun party time excellent. To RSVP for this free comedy/BBQ/party next Friday at 8pm at 725 S Spring Street, click the picture link for the facebook event, or email bagladydave [atsymbol] gmail.com. http://thecoming.org/2008/07/16/this-needed-to-be-announced-immediately/ Somehow we missed Eliza Skinner's show at the Comedy Central stage last Tuesday, as well as her sold-out musical improv show at UCB on Thursday. And for that, we are truly sorry, for who doesn't love smart, funny, attractive women with moustache fingers doing musical improv? We also have yet to ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/16/we-missed-what-wednesday-3/ Fine, you don't like rock stars? We are (almost) tired of gushing over the awesome non-industry industry show that is Comedy Coalition, but we have to admit this week's line-up is especially strong. Last time we saw Tig Notaro perform her set consisted of mostly "that was seriously the end ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/15/other-alternatives/ Comedians are not rock stars, but they should be.

Comedy albums should have huge debuts, with both a pre and post ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/15/rock-star-lifestyle/ Who's funnier, Chicago or Austin? Normally I'd say Chicago, but judging by the line-up at tonight's Garage Comedy show this Battle Royale will be a tooth and nail deathmatch. Or at least a really funny bunch of comedians. Head on down to El Cid (4212 Sunset Blvd) at 9pm to check ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/14/competitive-comedy/ And this time, we mean it. We've got a show review, an album review, even a book review! All we need is your tender, loving support and your continued patience in this time of transition. We mentioned that we're still looking for a few good LAers to check out some local ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/11/big-changes/ Of course, we're not talking about LA weather. When it rains here, it drizzles for five minutes and then stops so that your car doesn't even get a free wash but at least you aren't soaking wet. The point is, there are a TON of awesome shows TOMORROW. We've got two ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/08/when-it-rains-it-pours/ Celebrating independence, BRB. http://thecoming.org/2008/07/04/happy-4th-of-july/ And we love Your Girlfriend. Hosted by Pat Boccuzzi and Elisha Yaffe of Zebro, this bi-weekly comedy show is going to be monumentous. Their first show is TONIGHT!!!1!!1!one! and features such incredible performers as The Walsh Brothers, Harris Wittels, Mookie Blaiklock, Dave Horwitz, and Charlyne Yi. The Walsh brothers lay ... http://thecoming.org/2008/07/02/your-girlfriend-loves-you/
