Live Comedy L.A.

Crazy show last night at Ballgame’s Laugh Lounge. The line-up was killer - Last Comic Standing winner Iliza Schlesinger was in the house warming up material for her tour; Ryan Stout from MTV threw down 10 minutes; Carlos “The Chicken Whisperer” Kotkin killed it; plus new comer Brad Schecter did a quick 5; and Matty “Ballgame” Balaker brought the heat with some great jokes about disappointing his parents.

Just want to call out two great comedians - “Dragon Boy Suede” Howard Kremer did Ballgame’s show for the first time. I’ve said it before…he’s probably top 10 most talented comedians out there. He gave me a CD last night with the greatest song ever on it called “Nut Valet”. Did I mention DBS raps? Get this guy a show…now!

Finally, I got to see a complete set from Bert Kreisher. Jesus…he’s good. He’s all energy…and dirty. He does a joke about his baby girl sucking on a finger that killed. Plus…one of the great moments in Ballgame’s history happened last night. Playboy Cyber Girl Natasha Budhi (NSFW) a.k.a. “The Chocolate Bunny” showed up to the Laugh Lounge in an outfit that showed three-quarters of her beautiful and gigantic breasts. Some how she ended up on stage with Kreisher in one of the funniest exchanges ever. We need more Playboy Cyber girls at live comedy shows - you will be heavily promoted here at Live Comedy L.A. - I’m just sayin’.

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:

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.
