Comedy Meltdown: Must See Show
Sunday, January 27th, 2008
The best stand-up comedy shows in Los Angeles can be found in the most amazing places. Last night I went to Comedy Meltdown…a show put on by Linda Pine in the back room of Meltdown Comics on Sunset Blvd. Yeah…a stand-up comedy show in the back of a comic book shop. Brilliant. The line-up was stellar. The show was free. AND there were free drinks. REALLY? God bless these people and I hope they all become famous one day because they deserve it. Most of these guys are on strike from their jobs and others are still trying to “make it”…mean while they are making us laugh with what I consider their brilliance. I wish I was rich so I could just pay them every week to put on a private show just like this one…one day. Here’s the line-up:

Jonah Ray: ProfileShot - VideoShot
Mark Voyce: ProfileShot
Howard Kremer: ProfileShot - VideoShot
Maria Bamford: ProfileShot - VideoShot
Dana Gould: Website - VideoShot
Capatch was a stellar host. Jonah Ray was the surprise of the night because I had not seen him before. His material was stellar. Howard Kremer a.k.a Dragon Boy Suede is a phenomenal comedian. I need this guy to be HUGE because he is so damn good. Love him. Maria Bamford is brilliant. Literally thoughts come out of her mouth so quickly…it makes you wonder if she is a genius. And Dana Gould is a veteran comedian with a relaxed, professional style that I enjoy a great deal. Apparently this show is a once a month deal…so I’ll try to get in the loop and keep you up to date…because that’s what this site is for.
