Comedians vs. AI: Stage Against the Machine

Prepare to witness a comedic clash like no other… is how ChatGPT wanted me to start this write-up about comedian Allison Goldberg’s latest show. But yes, as the title implies, writers and stand-ups will attempt (and hopefully succeed, for the sake of all of our jobs) to outcompete AI in crafting pickup lines and fake bible verses. A to-be-announced lineup of comedians will guest on this show at the Westside Comedy Theater, while past participant and current collaborator Brad Einstein will man the AI; tickets cost $18 to $25 for humans (ChatGPT tells me that’s a “thoughtful” and “affordable” price, for what it’s worth).
