Summer is here. It’s BBQ season, beach season, vacation season, and, thank goodness, always comedy season at the NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles. So whether you’re a local and hanging around Los Angeles, a visitor in town, or a local with a friend visiting (or some other option we didn’t list here), you’ll want to swing by for laughs.

June 15th at 9pm it’s Horrible Movie Night!

Shout at the movies! We screen the worst films you’ve never seen, and invite YOU to roast them — the best one-liners of the night will win prizes. If you like MST3K and RiffTrax, this is your scene! Your hosts for the evening, John Mathot (Disney’s Phineas & Ferb) and Susan Wright (The Because Show podcast), will feature 1990’s Abraxas! It’s a lovely Terminator rip-off starring Jesse The Body Ventura as an interstellar assassin pursuing — well, another interstellar assassin to Earth. Add an immaculately-conceived kid, and lots of cheesy special effects, and you’ve got cinematic meal. It’ll be unstoppable fun! There’ll also be stand-up comedy from Jordan Morris (Jordan, Jesse, Go! Maximum Fun podcast, Fetch Quest/The Daily Habit writer) and Jackie Kashian (The Dork Forest podcast, Conan), and FREE POPCORN! Come stalk the show!

 June 16th at 8pm it’s Harmontown!

What is Harmontown? It’s awesome. It’s unique. It’s one of a kind. It’s something only Dan Harmon (creator of Community and the upcoming Rick and Morty) and Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) can do. It’s a different show every time and it’s every week. Lucky us! Playing Dungeons and Dragons? It’s happened. Dan Harmon freestyle rapping? Yup, that too. Calling Chevy Chase from stage? Happened…more than once. A celebrity guest? Allison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs among others have all stopped in. Getting super personal with an intimate audience? Always. It’s Harmontown. It’s awesome. It’s unique. Don’t miss a single week.

$10.
