Hi! How are you? Well, you look fantastic and you sound super interesting, too! Let’s be best friends. OK. Great! Now, here’s the deal: we have a lot of great shows at NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles this week, things like Doug Loves Movies, Super Art Fight, and Dave Anthony’s album taping. Sure, some of these shows are sold out online already… but we’ll have a limited amount of tickets at the door, so there’s still a chance 🙂

Saturday at 4:20pm is Doug Loves Movies!

Comedian Doug Benson invites some of his fancy comedy friends to sit down and discuss his first love – movies! He also makes them play games they might not understand. 85 minutes of fun crammed into 90 minutes!

$10.

Saturday at 8pm is Super Art Fight!

The Greatest Live Art Competition In The Known Universe heads West! Equal parts live art and pro-wrestling style storytelling matched with smart-ass commentary, Super Art Fight has made its mark on the East Coast and now makes its Los Angeles debut.

Featuring guest artists Lea Hernandez (Rumble Girls) and Ethan Nicolle (Axe Cop). Come see why SAF is unlike any other live event going today! Also, join us from 5-7pm for a pre-event signing at Meltdown Comics!

$8 in advance, $10 at the door.

Sunday is Nerdist Open Mic!

Come watch Matt Mira and Paul Cibis host this comedy free-for-all. You’ll see brand new comics, comics you know and love trying out new material (Chris Hardwick and Kumail Nanjiani are frequent drop ins), and the magic that is live comedy.

FREE.

Monday is ImprovMelt!

ImprovMelt is L.A.’s premiere showcase of the best improvisational groups in the universe at the best comedy venue that happens to be in the back of a comic shop in the universe!

(Andrew Pish, Peter Fluet, Chris McGowan, Giancarlo Molina, Frank Moran, Markeia McCarty, Clint Verner, Madi Goff, Stephen Ji, Chris Thompson, and Andrew Wollman), who will take a suggestion from the audience and use it to create a fully improvised episode of Doctor Who – never before seen on TV or stage and never to be seen again! Drunkards & Dragons (Breon Bliss, Mike Schramm, Markeia McCarty, Justin Michael Terry, Leeann St. John, Giancarlo Molina, Ryan Marsico, and Collin Turner) will take your Medieval fantasy suggestion and create an entire fantasy adventure for you to enjoy! Plus Eliza Skinner and more! Hosted by Asterios Kokkinos!

Wednesday is The Meltdown Show with Jonah and Kumail!

Thursday is RISK! L.A.!

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 January, the topic of “Beginnings” will be touched upon by these great storytellers: Rob O’Reilly, Jonny McGovern, Sean Patton, and Chris Ryan!

And as always, RISK! is hosted by Kumail Nanjiani and Pete Holmes!

$8 in advance, $10 at the door.

Friday at 8 & 9:30pm is An Evening With Dave Anthony!
