Largo is a very cool place to see stand-up comedy in Los Angeles. If you want a very cheap night of comedy, pay the $5 cover and stand at the bar. But that’s for the die hard live comedy fans. I suggest saving a weekend night out for one of their Monday night shows…and having dinner there. You still pay the $5 cover…and there is a $15 minimum per person at the table…but you get a good show. $20…dinner…great comedy…in Los Angeles…pretty rare. Everyone should understand what you are getting however…the comedians are very loose here…they use their notes…and they try out new material. If you want polished…go to the clubs…if you want very good comedians grinding out good stuff…this is a cool spot.

Thune was a very good host…he was enthusiastic and I appreciated his work. I’m still blown away by the fact that there is a comedian named Mookie Blaylock…and he’s not the retired point guard from the Atlanta Hawks. Odd. Tig Notaro definitely delivered the set of the night. She is simply an amazing stand-up comedian…and totally clean. She’s so cool…and calm…I love her. Sarah Silverman was on-point as well…which was great…because the last few times she literally has forgotten her set. When she’s on…she’s one of the best. Todd Glass was great too. I really would like to see a polished set from him as well. It’s fun seeing him work out material though.

BTW…just chillin’ tonight…didn’t go see a show. I’ll keep you updated on the other shows during LIVE COMEDY WEEK.

Sarah Silverman, Todd Glass, and Tig Notaro anchor a solid line-up tonight at Largo and will kick off LIVE COMEDY WEEK here at Live Comedy L.A. (Say hi if you see my girlfriend and I at the bar). The show starts at 9pm. Doors at 8pm. Reservations for dinner are already booked so you have to head down early and get a spot at the bar. It’s worth it for $5. Grab a spot in line…on the “non-reservation” side…and you’ll be fine.

If for some reason you don’t want to go to Largo tonight…Live Comedy L.A. favorites Ryan Sickler and Dana Min Goodman are performing at Westwood Brewco at 9:30pm. They’re stellar performers…and I’ll be catching them later in the week at the Improv. Sickler will be laying down his classic material in prep for some big time coverage…and Dana is the dirtiest player in the game…you won’t believe what comes out of her mouth. It’s the goods.

Update: Sickler had to reschedule the Brewco for next Monday.
