Hey everyone! Look at my turdmobile! Photo by 20990388@N04 via LAist Flickr page.
It's a stand up splosion! this week, with tons of shows going on all over town. From Los Feliz to Downtown to deep in Silverlake, independent shows are cropping up everywhere, and each with their own bombtastic lineups.
Be sure to get out this week, if only to keep on beating the heat. And if stand up's not your thing, remember that The Birthday Boys and A Kiss From Daddy are having their monthly shows on Wednesday night at UCB, and it's a best of showcase!
Hit this guy up with show details if you'd like to get listed here. Huzzah!
