@tomlewis i know i know. :-) and the list is great. i guess I just like to see some of the lesser known places listed too, cuz LA has SO much comedy around beyond the Improv. nice to meet you!

thanks JoleeL - I will update hppygomarni - thanks very much for your commments. This list is not an attempt to enumerate every single comedy event in the fair city of Los Angeles, we're just tipping people off to select events. I thought I had put a link to the Groundlings in there and the Comedy Store but (I usually do). Thanks again!

this is a great list. i've seen bob saget live before. very very worth going! he leaves his Full House innocence at the door! but i have to say, there are a LOT more things happening in LA comedy-wise. i know cuz i work at goldstar. in fact, 43 comedy events at the moment. like the Downtown Comedy Club and the Ice House, Promenade Playhouse, Groundlings, Comedy Store...

May 11, 18, and 25 Russell Brand at the Roxy. This Brit, who starred as Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, puts on a fantastic stand-up show. His unflinching observational comedy is equal parts mellifluous erudition and no-holds-barred smut. Check him out, you won't be disappointed.
