Then at 7pm on Sunday, Matt Mira’s Day Off!
Matt Mira of the Nerdist Podcast needs a Day Off, so we decided to give him Sundays at Nerdist Theater. Come watch Mira and Paul Cibis host this comedy free-for-all. Youâll see brand new comics, comics you know and love trying out new material, and the magic that is live comedy.
FREE, but spots are limited, so arrive early.
Monday, June 20th at 8pm, we celebrate the return of Harmontown.
The countdown continues due to overwhelming demand: Attend a town meeting in a land free of brevity, where Mayor Dan Harmon (creator of NBC’s Community) and Comptroller Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) take another small, drunken step toward colonizing the moon. Evening may include ineffectual rants, shameful stories, forehead sweat and repeated exposure to the phrases “like,” “uh,” “sort of,” and “you know.”
Tickets are $10 and they are close to selling out, so get in while you can.
Wednesday, June 22nd at 8:30pm is The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail!
Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani host this popular weekly standup showcase. This week, the boys welcome Steve Agee, Max Silvestri, Jon Daly, Jerrod Carmichael, The Walsh Brothers, The Sklar Brothers, and more surprises!
Tickets are just $8!
Thursday, June 23rd at 8pm, we are proud to welcome Carnyville with Gould and Koechner!
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a carnival. Creepy dudes running creepy rides while creepy clowns smile creepily. David Koechner (Anchorman, The Naked Trucker & T-Bone) and Dana Gould (The Simpsons, Conan) join forces to recreate the golden era of life along the midway. With stand-up, special guests, music, and a creepy sense of creepitude. Join us, won’t you? (Scheduled to appear- Ali Wong, Eddie Pepitone, Blaine Capatch and more!)
Tickets are just $10 and they are going lightning fast.
That’s all for the next seven days, but we’re finishing out June with a bang, so stay tuned. As always, follow us on Twitter (@NerdMelt) to find out all the haps on the craps.
