A work-in-progress by Rachel Troy.

A chronic people-pleaser dies and wakes up as a ghost at her own funeral -- immediately trying to fix the vibes. But God won't let her into heaven until she stops over controlling her life and tells the truth about herself. Amanda Atkins has one hour to deliver a real eulogy about herself that doesn’t include any lies or apologies to get into heaven. Its FLEABAG meets THE GOOD PLACE.

THIS PERFORMANCE OF THE TOMORROW SHOW IS AT 9:30 PM!! In its 20th year of lauded late night lunacy! Hosted by Ron Lynch (Bob's Burgers, Corporate, Portlandia) and featuring a rotating roster of top comedians, specialty acts, musicians and performance artists -- It is not to be missed!

Welcome to Superbloom, a new standup comedy show every Monday in the Vault at 8:30pm! We bring you the best standup in LA with a focus on queer comedians.

You are invited to enter the confessional for a solo encounter with a veiled priestess in order to purify yourself not from sin, but from shame. In this reimagined version of confession, the priestess will guide you through a ritual that combines ancient beliefs with modern ideals. The sacrament weaves together concepts and traditions from not just Christian doctrine, but also that of Hellenism, Paganism and Buddhism, and other spiritual practices. The experience is designed to facilitate meaningful reflection and conjure the potential for divine revelation. Your experience will last approximately 20 minutes. Due to the intimate nature of this experience, space is very limited. Reserve with haste.

Bluebird is a collective of comedians performing a completely improvised experience. Bluebird uses a short series of audience conversations to inspire the spontaneous, unhinged and beautifully hilarious comedy mayhem.

EX roomies Dylan Adler (Late Late Show) & Sam Morrson (JFL) lived together for 2 years in harmony in Brooklyn, until Dylan betrayed Sam by moving to LA. After years of spreading heinous rumors behind each other’s back on their respective coasts, these two confirmed bachelors reunite along with Kylie Vincent to put on the most unhinged, fundamentally evil showcase of comedic talent.

Join Caroline & Jack and friends for a thrilling night of comedy in the beautiful Elysian Valley, nestled in the energetic city of Los Angeles. Let their comedic stylings amuse and intrigue you. These two former high school student-athletes will masterly perform stand up, improv, and sketch comedy all in one show. And if you think they're doing it alone... You might want to reread the event because the show is literally called "Caroline & Jack and friends" (yes, we switched between the ampersand and the word "and" - we think it's kinda cool - like how poems do weird formatting stuff).

Get your tickets now to a comedy reading series unlike any other! Including pilots, one-acts, narrative podcasts, feature scripts, and free snacks if you're good. This month's script TBA! Hosted by Danielle Evenson & Heather Huntington. Supported by and featuring artists from The Orchard Project.

The critically acclaimed Drunk Black History show returns to LA to celebrate 100 years of Black History Month, Black Hollywood, and Black Excellence! Comedian Brandon Collins (New York Comedy Festival) hosts this event where you’ll hear from comedians, writers, and experts who are skunked out of their mind trying to recap the biography of a historical Black figure or event that hasn’t gotten the mainstream love they deserved. It's The Daily Show meets Drunk History with a live audience.

AS SEEN AT NETFLIX IS A JOKE FESTIVAL! 50% comedy show, 50% game show, and 100% fcked up, WRONG! is a celebration of dark humor, cancelable offenses, and questionable social media decisions that takes everything you know about game shows and turns it on its head. Each show, three of the world’s funniest comics go head-to-head-to-head to see who can earn the most made-up points, win the most prizes that we’ve rescued from the trash, and ultimately be crowned the Most F cked Up Comedian! If you play your cards right from the audience, you could win some prizes too! Hosted by Jay Light (Roast Battle, America's Got Talent)

ROBOT KARAOKE is a live comedy show with songs you know and new lyrics no one ever has sung. Our custom system, THE WEIRD ALGORITHM, rewrites karaoke classics syllable-for-syllable using fragments of the internet. We might sing OKCUPID PROFILES to the tune of "I WILL SURVIVE", NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF CANDY LAND to the tune of "SAY IT AIN'T SO", or any combination of song and text in the catalog. At the main stage show (7:30pm), special guests from the music, entertainment and advanced karaoke research industries will bravely test the limits of the human mind's capacity for chaos. At the late show (9pm), we'll migrate next door to the Skunk Room and open the stage to audience requests until closing time. Come ready to sing. Leave ready to transcend the physical plane as a being of pure karaoke information.

A fast-paced night of standup comedy where comics will do five minutes followed by a five minute breakdown of their performance and overall career stats. Hosted by Clay Watson and Maxwell Barnes, comedians are treated like athletes in a post-game press conference where they are questioned about the way they play the game.

Join us for karaoke night on impossible mode as we replace the lyrics to any SONG with words from a specific TEXT, then try to sing the results on the spot. Our songwriting system, THE WEIRD ALGORITHM, matches each line syllable-for-syllable so you can sing along if you know the tune. It all happens live: each song has never been heard before and will never be heard again.

An experimental comedy show portraying the grotesque nature of female puberty told through the structure of a play. A series of sketches, musical numbers, and a singular standup performance depicting the chilling path to womanhood. Woven together by nods to classic literature, philosophy, the Gen Z zeitgeist, and personal testimonies.

Coming Soon to The Vault!

Comedy Mafia is a completely new kind of live comedy experience: a blood soaked mix of stand up, live games, famous people inches away, and chaos you’ll never see again. It’s not a podcast, not a panel, and not just stand up. It’s your favorite famous people stripped of the polished, curated version you usually see. Around a table playing dumb games, talking trash, lying badly, panicking, and reacting in real time, it feels less like a performance and more like getting a beer and having game night with them. Comedy Mafia fuses stand up comedy, high stakes games, and full blown spectacle into one wild, unforgettable night.

More info TBA!

Live music from the weirdest new bands of Los Angeles with guest DJs . All ticket proceeds will go to the down town battered women’s shelter. Every last Saturday of the summer.
