Melinda Hill’s “What’s Up Tiger Lily” show kicked off it’s 3rd anniversary with the Living Legend Brody Stevens doing his own rendition of the Black Eyed Peas, “I’ve Got a Feeling”. Brody is hands down worth going to a show just to see what he might do. His attention to detail, his memory, and his knowledge of our city is just awesome and hilarious at the same time. He actually called his mom during the show on two separate occasions to confirm John Daly (the golfer) lived next door to her at one point and that she was born in Michigan. There just happened to be a comedian performing named John Daly and some people from Michigan visiting the restaurant. Priceless.

I got to see Pete Holmes (not the former MTV VJ) and T.J. Miller for the first time also. Both were outstanding. Pete Holmes probably had the set of the night. Miller went up and riffed for 12 minutes about a homeless guy who happened to walk into the restaurant during the show asking to do karaoke. It was incredible.

Melinda Hill did some hilarious crowd work and practiced a speech to high schoolers. Had to be there for it’s excellence.

I highly recommend going to the show to catch some of the cities best comedians. In a way, it’s what comedy in L.A. is all about. Extremely talented people just throwin’ down jokes in a relaxed, intimate venue for the sake of making folks laugh. L.A. comedy is Ballgame’s Laugh Lounge, it’s What’s Up Tiger Lily, it’s The Trophy Room, it’s Funny or Thai. I dig it so much. Here are some pictures of the comedians from last night.
