ABOUT Meltdown Comics
At 9000 square feet, Meltdown is the largest pop culture emporium west of the Rockies. It’s ever-shifting stock holds new discoveries for even the most discerning reader and if you are new to the game the dimmest ember of obsession shall be fanned into a great bonfire here. Meltdown’s proprietors have seized every opportunity to upgrade service within the store resulting in unparalleled relationships with vendor and consumer alike. This means that as a customer of Meltdown, you have access to a worldwide network of purveyors of pop and if you don’t see what you want in front of you Meltdown can procure it almost instantaneously.
In 2004 Meltdown reconfigured the operation to expand their 10 yrs. old Melt Gallery to 2000 square feet. What was once a large stockroom has been transformed into a nexus of culture in Los Angeles, featuring well-reviewed group shows from prominent visual artists, lectures and workshops from industry professionals and free performances from some of the city’s most talented comedians, DJs and bands.
After 16 years of successful operation, Meltdown has grown into a traveler’s must-see destination and cultural landmark. Meltdown was named Best Comic Store in L.A. by Los Angeles magazine, the LA WEEKLY, and was honored with the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award last Century. Perhaps most notably, Meltdown Comics was immortalized by becoming a part of the Simpsons universe in the episode “Husbands & Knives” where the store’s design and layout was utilized to show how great a comic book store can be. All that is left for us to do now is find a way to get comics to the International Space Station…and we’re working on it.

MELTDOWN.
This will be a fun show. Please come out and reblog and spread the word. It’s a great line up:
Whitney Cummings. I’m not sure if you saw her on the Joan Rivers roast but she completely dominated. She’s got such a great stage presence with really punchy jokes to back it up. Recently she starred in a pilot Produced by Ben Stiller, Directed by David Wain, and co-starring John Goodman.
Duncan Trussell. Duncan just recently wrapped up writing for NICK SWARDSONS sketch show on Comedy Central and has been progressively been becoming my favorite comic to see. One of the smartest and funniest guys around.
Eric Appel. Eric has been consistently pumping out amazing sketches since starting up on the Andy Milonakis Show back in 2005. Recently, he’s written on Crank Yankers, Human Giant and has been responsible for some of my favorite videos on FUNNY OR DIE, where he is a staffed Writer/Producer/Director. On top of that you can see him perform every sunday with Community’s Donald Glover at the UCB Theatres SHITTY JOBS.
K.P. Anderson. K.P. has been the Executive Producer and Head Writer of THE SOUP w/ Joel McHale for the past 5 years. Having been able to work side by side with him has been a delight. He regularly opens up for Joel McHale all across the country. Come see his rare L.A. appearance.
Brent Weinbach. Ask any comic that has performed with Brent and they will tell you ONLY good things. One of the more quoted and referenced comedians within the comedy community. I often find myself trying to describe his bits to friends and am always falling short of being able to. It truly is only something that you have to experience live.
Plus Special Guest: STEVE AGEE. Steve, a regular cast member on the Sarah Silverman Program is a wreck. One of the funniest hypochondriacs you will ever come across. Steve will swing by to talk about why he might just be about to die or almost just did.
This is a show full of headliners and I couldn’t be more happy to show them to everybody who comes. This is handpicked comedy.
JUST ADDED!
Frysmith will be here serving up tasty treats!
