Matt Mira’s Day Off
A place for comics to work on new material with The Nerdist’s own Matt Mira.
FREE
RA Salvatore is one of the Fantasy genre’s most successful authors.
Drennon Davis is back with one of our favorite regular shows that is a creative and hilarious look at that old standby: the radio. You’ll see some of LA’s best comedians/musicians/performers as they parody all the ridiculous talk shows, commercials, and terrible music on the airwaves. The Comedy Bureau says of this show that it “not only lives up to its name, but exceeds expectation in what you could possibly think it is.”
