Let me get this straight, Jewel’s Catch One--comfy sofas surrounding the stage area? Bauhaus in the song book? Goths and Dodgers fans alike uniting over a mutual love of Robert Smith? A cupholder on the microphone? A cupholder on the freaking microphone?! You trying to get me to move in or something? It’s a good thing this only goes down once a week. Mark your calendars, creatures of the night--every Monday night the overlords of Ground Control take over the venerable Jewel’s Catch One for what must surely be the most offbeat karaoke night in town.

It's the last week of the Los Angeles Comedy Festival in Hollywood. There are two shows tonight (one at 8:00 p.m., another at 9:30 p.m.) that include 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors, Dry Hump and The Comedy Jesus Show.

Soul Vegetarian opened up last summer in the nightclub space, but quickly closed a couple months ago. Not to fear, however, Jewel, who owns the building, continued the short lived soul food vegan restaurant near the corner of Pico and Crenshaw. "I've been a vegan for twenty-some years," she said, "and it was a dream of mine to open up a vegan restaurant." Soul Vegetarian (not to be confused with Vegisoul on Jefferson) finally filled that void last July, but when it closed down, she didn't want to let it go, so she hired Soul's chef and opened up Vegan Village Internet Cafe.
