If you’ve spent any time walking the star-stamped sidewalks of Hollywood Blvd., you’ve certainly passed by iO West dozens of times. Their alumni roster reads like a comedian wish list for television and movie executives, but these days it’s the drinks menu that might just have you craning your neck for a better look.

There are plenty of great shows this week, with iO West hosting the LA Improv Festival and the LA Fringe Festival kicking around Theater Row on Santa Monica. Plus, the usual suspects like the Nerdist Theater and the Laugh Factory are providing unique one-off shows that shouldn't be missed. So don't miss 'em!

There's no stopping comedy in LA. So don't even try. Remember that video of the guy that stole the tank? He tried to stop comedy, and look what happened to him.

The Hollywood Improv Lab has been putting on some really intriguing stuff for a while, but their space is bursting at the seams this week with more shows than we can dare to list. There's plenty of other stuff around town, too.

There are plenty of shows all over town this week, from Irvine to Ontario and Hermosa Beach to Burbank. Frank Conniff and Erica Doering bring crazy cartoon comedy to the Steve Allen Theater Monday night. Get out and laugh!

The LA Comedy Festival starts this week, and there's a bunch of great stuff to get out and see. Elsewhere, Tremendosaur has a couple of shows lined up, and The Apple Sisters are back!
