LA comedy calendar: Upcoming stand-up and comedy shows in LA

Think men could do a bit of a better job listening when it comes to dating? This Bachelorette-style game show runs with that conceit as its one rule: The four men competing for a date can’t speak. Instead, they’ll nod and doodle while host Allison Goldberg searches their phones and dials their moms. You can usually find Love Isn’t Blind staged monthly (and you can even apply to participate in it).

Ed Wood’s tale of an alien invasion in the Valley is bad—so bad that the 1955 B-movie has of course inspired its own cult following. A few weeks before Halloween, you can catch a bunch of comedians, actors and writers perform a live read of the awful classic, including Frank Conniff, Dana Gould, Laraine Newman, Patton Oswalt, Jonah Ray, Kimmy Robertson, Paul Scheer, Paul F. Tompkins, Janet Varney and Kat Aagesen.

One of the most talented improv performers, period, see Schwartz (perhaps best known as Parks and Rec’s Jean Ralphio and now as the voice of Sonic) and a surprise assembly of friends take to the stage.

Take your pup with you to this dog-friendly comedy show at the Annenberg PetSpace, with a headlining set from Adam Conover. Caitlin Benson hosts, with support from DJ vfresh. Tickets include two drinks, and a portion of ticket sales will benefit the PetSpace Extraordinary Care Fund.
