Imagine a world where a children's show has a cast of characters with more psychological disorders than you. Add the mind-numbing debauchery of the worst, most poorly animated cartoons from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and you've got what Patton Oswalt says "is like a children's show in Bosnia!"

The unholy alliance of noted author, producer and cartoon scholar Jerry Beck and writer/producer/comedian Frank Conniff ("TV's Frank" from MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000).

With special guest comedians every month.
This month, it's JIMMY PARDO!.

8 p.m., Tuesday, May 27th
Tickets $10

Claire and Josh

A tea-party/love comedy where the bizarre and the mundane intertwine. Two young people struggle to connect amidst a pile of dirty laundry neuroses, self-help telemarketing, competitive kiss blowing, bad dates, non-sex tapes and middle school slow dancing.

An existential roll in the hay for the accidental self-loather.

Starring Los Angeles-area comedians Josh Fadem and Claire Titelman.

8 p.m.
June 2nd and the first Monday of every month.
