Join Julia Prescott as she hosts another edition of her monthly lecture series that’s been going strong since 2016. In the past, she’s hosted Simpsons showrunners, Rick and Morty writers; managers and agents, TV development execs; production company heads and film festival programmers. Each show seeks to answer a hyper-specific question for folks wanting to break in: What’s it like pitching a show? What’s it like in a writers room? How do we get our work out there when we’re chained to a 9-5 job?

This month, Julia’s covering WINNING THE WRITING CONTEST — specifically, the studio fellowships that seek to provide a small pool of writers a leg up in getting staffed come next pilot season. Thousands enter, only about 10 or so win a spot in each respective program. Come and hear tips, tricks and other pearls of wisdom from our panelists who have lived to tell the tale.

This show is about Adrienne Truscott’s suspicion, following the runaway success of her previous piece, that anything she makes may disappoint. But comedy isn’t for pussies, so Truscott’s throwing hers back in the ring! Your #1 Gimmicky-Pantsless-Performance Artist Turned Comedian wrestles with standing up while telling jokes, ‘second shows’, stealing material, categorization and bad reviews. All while paying homage to her favorite (dead?!) ‘comedian’. The Australian Times says, ‘A feminist masterpiece disguised behind dick-jokes and partial nudity. It’s brilliant!’ 4.5 stars. Chortle gives it 2 stars and says a definitive ‘Whatever’. What if failing is a feminist act? How do you respond to reviews? How does a stage define who or what you are? What do you do for a ‘second show’? Who cares? She’s naked and wants to wrestle.

Tickets - $10 advance, $12 doors

Femmes The Rules is a stand up comedy show where men get interrupted. It’s all in good fun! Male comedians are paired with female (or non-binary) comedians. During the male comedian’s set, the female comedian he’s paired with can interrupt him with commentary, riffs, and dole out arbitrary strikes. Once the man’s set is (finally) done, the woman does her set and you better believe the man has to just sit and watch quietly.

This month’s featured pairs are: Jamie Loftus & Ify Nwadiwe, Anna Valenzuela & Jimmy Callaway, and Kristal Adams & Sam Harter.

This Month's resident ally is Kevin Casey White.

Hosted by a pair who bonded over their love of interrupting men, Sarah Mowrey (The Drop Comedy Club) and Mary Jane French (Thrillist).

Tickets - $5

A solo show from Kevin Krieger and no one else. Refunds available.

We've all been there: That feeling of emptiness on stage -- when a “yes and” feels more like a “please end this now”, when your great idea for a clown number just eats garbage, etc. etc., you fill in the blank ... Well eff that.
In this workshop, taught by Isaac Kessler, we will focus on reigniting our love to be on stage through Le Jeu/gameplay, movement, improvisation, and clown.
Tired of them telling you to "have fun up there!"? Well, guess what - Fun is a technique, and Play is a muscle... so let's get swole.

Join Isaac on one or both days, we will be playing with LeCoq-based movement, organic longform techniques, and Le Jeu/Clown-based ideology.

Bio:
Isaac Kessler might be a Canadian scooter-riding Jewish boy based in Los Angeles, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that he is also an award winning comedian, actor, improviser, teacher, basketballer, producer, writer, lover, and fighter. He has been performing, writing, and producing comedy for over 14 years, and is a multiple Canadian Comedy Award nominee (2012/14/15/19), nominated as Best Male Improviser in 2015. Isaac is an ACTRA union member in Canada and SAG-E in the U.S.

$40 for one day, $70 for two. RSVP at eyekessler@gmail.com
