Guess what, loyal NerdMelt fans? Not only do we have another killer slate of shows but we also just got air conditioning! Come on by and beat the heat with any of these great shows!
Friday at 8:00, it’s The 38th Annual MS WÉ™rd & Friends Raplaughapallooza!
What’s a Raplaughapallooza, you ask? Simply put, it’s half rap and half stand-up comedy, with just a smattering of “apallooza,” which is a rare equine fungal infection (vaccines will be administered at the door).
See the live world premier of soon-to-be rap sensation Ms WÉ™rd and The Gross Bugs (Michael Swaim, Abe Epperson, Cody Johnston and Daniel O’Brien of Cracked.com)! Hear stand up from Very Special Guests Kyle Mooney (Good Neighbor, Parks and Rec, that one Jack in the Box commercial), Rob Kerkovich (Summer of Tears, Cloverfield), Nick Rutherford (Good Neighbor, Kill Me Now) and Cody Johnston again! Wonder at the mysteries of life all around you! RAPLAUGHAPALLOOZA LIVES.

Saturday, prep for Comic-Con with SuicideGirls’ American Apparel Pre Comic-Con Cosplay PARTY with Bubble Punch!
SuicideGirls team up with pop-culture event planners Bubble Punch to transform American Apparel fashion basics into striking Cosplay outfits for SG’s Comic-Con crew. With the help of Sunset Strip geek emporium, Meltdown Comics and comic chic chicks Chubby Bunny and Yume Ninja of Bubble Punch we will be producing “How To†videos so fans can recreate the costumes themselves. The costumes will be debuted live at a special Pre-Comic Con party at Meltdown Comics on July 7th.
Sunday at 7:00 is Matt Mira’s Day Off!

Thursday at 7:30 show off your knowledge at What Do You Know? Star Wars!
A short time from now on an improv-comedy quiz show not too far away…
What do 70,000 people in Australia, 21,000 in Canada, 53,000 people in New Zealand, 14,000 people in Scotland, and 390,000 people in England and Wales all have in common?
In 2001, on their country’s official census, they all put ‘Jedi’ as their official religion.
The improv-comedy quiz show, What Do You Know?, is going to the Dark Side with an entire show dedicated to Star Wars!
Hosted by Steve Frech, our panelists will match wits in hilarious Star Wars themed rounds such as “Less is More,” “Darth Vader: Ultimate Badass,” and others that will examine the science, the sorcery, and the absolute lunacy behind one of the most beloved film series of all time.
And the best part is… we’re going to pretend the prequels never happened!
May the Force be with you… You’re gonna need it! Featuring special guests Andre Hyland, Clinton Pickens, Rob English, and Adam Sauter!
$8 in advance, $10 at the door!
