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

Catch some comedy and learn at the same time at this educational and interactive game show hosted by creator Chris Duffy and produced by the National Academy of Sciences’ LabX. The set-up: A panel of comedians play games and quiz a scientific expert on their work. This month’s installment tackles a universally beloved subject—ice cream—with the help of food scientist Dr. Maya Warren (and maybe some frozen treats). If you can’t make it to Dynasty Typewriter for the show, you can opt for a $7 livestream option.

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).

Bergamot Station’s inclusive comedy club, the Crow, hosts this family-friendly Pride event filled with music, stand-up and storytelling. The programming on June 21 kicks off with “Fabulous Fables” at 10am, with drag queen and king storytelling, face painting, dancing and a family pride parade at the Santa Monica Pier. That evening at the Crow, “Pull My Finger” is a “super silly and high energy show” for the whole family at 5pm. Ending the night are two “Storyectomy Family Pride” shows, where LGBTQ+ community members and allies will get their personal and comedic stories out alongside pro comedians (7pm and 9pm).

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.
