Darlings,
Hope your long weekend was… nourishing.
First and foremost, a brief FUMBLE BRAG from your maybe favorite venue in LA for comedy, music, and enchanting experiences. What’s a fumble brag? It's when you’re so bad at bragging you wait to brag until you simply pass the point of relevance. (Ok, Ok, ONE IS ACTUALLY STILL RELEVANT!)(Ok, they all kind of are, but you see the humble game we're playing here.)
We got a lil’ write up in the LA TIMES a couple weeks ago about our upcoming 5 year anniversary celebrations this March! (Let this be the first seed planted about our upcoming trip 5 year anniversary celebrations this March!)
FUMBLED:
We didn’t get the weather we wished for, but we flarpin’ "got what we got and we not got upsot!" We DID get the shows we wished for. If anything calls for a “BOY HOWDY!," this past weekend’s shows did. Boyyyyy howdy, they were good ones. LAUREN LAPKUS’ show name promised “A Very Good Time” and we can boots on the ground tell ya: it motherflarpin' delivered. (Still avail to watch for 4 days!) Sunday’s SOLD OUT Middle Age Dad Jam Band with DAVID WAIN and KEN MARINO had the vibes of being at a show for your favorite college band, but instead of toxic young musicians in the prime of their predatory life, it was your favorite comedians being total sweethearts. And instead of a sticky sticky bar floor and smushed stinky bodies, it was our sweet ol’ vintage scooty seats, with the proper amount of space for your well deodorized body because goddamit we’re not animals anymore! The classic rock… classic ROCKED us. And it was maybe the most people and the most plugs we’ve ever had on stage. And right after that, a quick turn around for an amazing Untitled Improv Project with Oooooscar winning MICHAEL GIACCHINO. (Available to watch for 4 more days!) If we could’ve given the show an Oscar WE WOULD HAVE. Take that, Academy. Shots fired?
VALENTINE’S DAY THOUGHT?
Destination (Wedding) Dynasty!
It has recently been reminded to our attention that both Van and Jam are certified officiants via the holy internet, and have officiated more than 12 wedding ceremonies between them. We also remembered we have a theater and instruments and we flarpin’ love love. Would you (or anyone you know) want to get SPED-WED at Dynasty?! On VALENTINE’S DAY (which is a Tuesday) If you would be interested in bringing yourself and your partner and your paperwork over to Dynasty, we could do a lil’ ceremony, have your first dance/ video karaoke on stage and give you an unforgettable 30 minutes. If you’d like to elope with us, let us know! Maybe we could even borrow Jamie’s mom’s new dog Morty and put it in an outfit or something. Or we know our GM Missy has access to one of those naked cats if that’s your thing. We haven’t asked Missy if her access to that cat gets us access, but we’ll figure it out. (Missy, do you read these? Can we borrow your friend’s cat?) Or no pets. What we know for sure, you’d get some good photos, have some good fun. And actually get married. If people want to do this, we’ll do this? Let us know! If not we'll do a movie screening or put on a show or something but that's so obvious. COME ON, LET US FLARPIN' MARRY YOU. Email if you wanna do this!
