COMEDY
Sarah Silverman’s at Largo tonight, sharing her comedy and Jimmy Kimmel stories. Do you think she’s still f*cking Matt Damon? Do you think she'll say anything now that Jimmy is f*cking Ben Affleck? (Omg, we love these videos!) Of course, the small club’s already booked up for dinner, but bar/standing space is first come, first served.

9 pm // Largo // 432 N. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles // Call for price.
