Saturday at 9:00 is Set List!

From the minds of Paul Provenza and Troy Conrad… Set List is back from sold-out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, and a regular run in London. Top comics are given a never-before-seen “set list” of strange and outrageous topics the second they walk onstage, and perform seamlessly as if its the act they normally do, while the audience follows their list on the projection screen. Complete comedy in the moment. This week features Jimmy Dore, Nate Craig, Rick Overton, Dave Ross, Rye Silverman, Mark Wahlberg (played by Dan Van Kirk), Guy Branum, Rove McManus & more!

$8 in advance, $10 at the door!

Sunday at 5:00 is The Nerdist Writer’s Panel!

Sunday at 7:00 is The Nerdist Open Mic!

Monday at 8:00 is Harmontown!

Yup, that’s right, it’s weekly, and it’s a podcast too! Attend a town meeting in a land free of brevity, where Mayor Dan Harmon (creator of Community) and Comptroller Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) take another small, vodka-soaked step toward colonizing the moon. Evening may include ineffectual rants, songs, shameful stories, special guests (Allison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs have all stopped in), forehead sweat and repeated exposure to the phrases “like” , “uh”, “sort of” and “you know.” (Subscribe to Harmontown on ITunes today!)

Thursday at 7:00 is The Fogelnest Files!

Jake Fogelnest has scoured the Internet and his personal archives for cool stuff to show you . Remember when you would flick through television late at night, stumble across some weird stuff and it was like, “Whoa WTF is this?” Fogelnest taped that.

With special guests Bryan Lee O’Malley (Creator of Scott Pilgrim), Jonah Ray and James Urbaniak.

Thursday at 9:00 is RISK! Storytelling Show!

RISK! is the show where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share in public. Stories they’d normally only tell to close friends. At the RISK! Live shows, the brightest stars of TV, film and literature drop their usual act and show a side of themselves you’ve never seen before. In October, the topic of “Eek!” will be touched upon by these great storytellers: Cindy Chupack (writer, Modern Family)
 Dominic Dierkes (writer, Workaholics)
 Dava Krause (writer/performer, Inappropriate Fairy Tales) 
Matteson Perry (host, The Moth) 
Danny Lobell (host, Real Talk With Danny Lobell)! And as always, RISK! is hosted by Kumail Nanjiani and Pete Holmes!
