Baron Vaughn’s CD Release Party

Nerdist Theater inside Meltdown Comics

7522 Sunset Blvd. LA, CA 90046 (map)

 

 

Scheduled to appear- Maria Bamford, DJ Douggpound, Bayne Gibby (HBO’s Enlightened) and Monique Moreau! Can we all agree that the radio is pretty terrible? With all of the annoying DJs, over-played songs, obnoxious commercials and boring interviews, it’s no wonder there are so many car accidents. The Imaginary Radio Program is the anti radio. Brought to you by some of the best comics in the scene, the radio will be dissected station by station, parodied and brought to it’s knees in this hilarious musical comedy extravaganza.
Presented by Destructo! Hosted by Drennon Davis (NBC’s LCS and Last Call)

Warm Up To Meltdown

By Nicole Campos

For the better part of two years now, Comedy Meltdown has offered one of the most consistently fantastic laugh lineups in town, overtaking the gallery space in the rear of the mighty Meltdown Comics on Sunset once a month with a reliably killer slate of standups, which has featured Dana Gould, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Aziz Ansari, Maria Bamford and a ton more. It’s with a sad typeface, then, that we have to impart the news that this month’s Comedy Meltdown Grand Finale is likely to be the last for a while: Booker extraordinaire Linda Pine is putting the show on hiatus, and though you shouldn’t count ComMelt out yet, you should definitely be there on Friday to send it off with a bang. Paul F. Tompkins headlines, which is reason enough to get your yucks in, as well as the free frosty beer included with the cover charge. Plus, you can get your Christmas shopping done for the beloved comic-book geeks in your life at the same time.

MAKE US LAUGH, FUNNY GIRL!

By Libby Molyneaux

Maria Bamford: “As someone who hasn’t had long-term romantic success, I always feel insecure around people who are confident in their relationships.”

“When I met him, I just ‘knew.’ And we’ve been best friends ever since.”

“Really? That’s awesome. So you never really fight about anything?”

“Hmmmm…..Oh! He doesn’t like onions!”

Oh, right … so … you’ve never had any ‘issues’ you had to ‘work through’ with like, a ‘workbook’?”

“If I were you, I’d watch out for red flags.”

“But what if I’m, like, a flag factory that only manufactures red flags?”

“Maybe you need to be The One before you can meet ‘The One.’”

“Oh. Where’d you get that from — is that from Socrates? Bob Dylan? Herbal tea bag?”

Maria Bamford performs at Comedy Meltdown with Matt Braunger, Boris Hamilton, Sean Conroy, Ron Lynch and host Ed Salazar.
