Hello fans of awesome things. This week at the NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles promises to be another week of laughs, adventure, good friends, and great times with shows like Set List: Stand-Up Without a Net, Greg Daniels at Nerdist Writers Panel, Star Dreck, SketchMelt, and more!
April 27th at 8pm is Set List: Stand-Up Without A Net!
From the minds of Paul Provenza and Troy Conrad…Set List: Stand-Up Without A Net 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 “setlistâ€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. April 27’s show features the never-before-seen set lists of: Kurt Braunohler, Matt Kirshen, Kira Soltanovich, Byron Bowers, Rory Scovel, and Carlos Alazraqui!

April 28th at 5pm is Nerdist Writer’s Panel!
The Nerdist Writers Panel series is an informal chat moderated by Ben Blacker (co-creator of The Thrilling Adventure Hour; writer for Supah Ninjas, Supernatural, among others) with professional writers about the process and business of writing. Covering TV, film, comic books, music, novels, and any other kind of writing about which you care to hear. April 28th guests will include: Greg Daniels (developer, The Office; creator, King of the Hill; co-creator, Parks and Recreation), Jessica Goldstein and Chrissy Pietrosh (Cougar Town; My Name Is Earl).
The line-up is subject to change. And as always, proceeds from the live panels benefit 826LA, the national non-profit tutoring program.

April 30th at 8pm is Star Dreck!
Kumail Nanjiani and Matt Mira are huge Trekkies, but even they have to admit that some of them just don’t hold up.

With the help of a special guest will they boldly go where no fan has gone before?
