Dynasty Typewriter

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 (Rob Haze and Joanna Hausmann) play games and quiz a scientific expert on their work. This month’s installment is uniquely L.A.—Dr. John McCormack of Occidental College’s Free-Flying Los Angeles Parrot Project will be sharing his knowledge on our noisy, flying neighbors. If you can’t make it to Dynasty Typewriter for the show, you can opt for a $7 livestream option.

Now in its sixth year, the largest and longest-running comedy festival in NYC dedicated to spotlighting AAPI talent is expanding to L.A. for the first time with this one-night-only event at Dynasty Typewriter. Two showtimes offer completely different lineups—Margaret Cho headlines the 7pm set—and for $55, you can buy a full-night pass to see all the comedians. Expect stand-up, sketch, musical comedy and more from the likes of Leslie Liao, Andrea Jin, Fumi Abe, Dylan Adler, Sam Oh and more.
