Upcoming Events

Sofiya is a writer and comedian who grew up in Odessa, Ukraine, and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 11. You might have seen her on Comedy Central’s This Is Not Happening talking about her grandpa’s dick surgery while using some colorful Russian. Sofiya’s written on Amazon’s Danger & Eggs, an Emmy-winning animated series starring SNL’s Aidy Bryant. She’s been featured as a standup at Limestone, Laughing Skull, Women in Comedy, Out of Bounds, and many other comedy festivals.

Sofiya was named one of The Fifty Funniest Women on Twitter by Playboy and one of 18 Funny Women You Should Be Following by Huffington Post. Her tweets regularly appear on Mandatory, Buzzfeed, Splitsider, Funny or Die, and HuffPo. Her mystery-lineup comedy variety show SURPRISE! was featured in LAist, LA Weekly, The Los Angeles Review of Books, OneThingLA, and WeLikeLA.

She currently co-hosts Private Parts Unknown, a comedy-travel podcast that uncovers stories about love and sexuality around the world. It’s dope.

AND she beat breast cancer, but if cancer is listening, THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE.

Emma Arnold has been on a tear as of late, releasing a new hour of material in each of the last three calendar years. On this, her newest hour, she puts together a wonderful set, drawing on personal life events, regaling the crowd with misadventures of clothes shopping and playing with friends as a child. As benign as those two subjects may seem, the payoffs are unreal and offer some lighthearted moments to counter the hilarious and heavy chunk of material dealing with abortion and women’s reproductive rights that anchors the hour. Emma is electric as she confronts one of this era’s most touchy subjects with a confidence, tact and perspective rarely touched by comics - or anyone, when dealing with such heavy subject matter.

“One of the most hardworking comics in the industry.” -Forbes
“Emma Arnold proves vulnerability is hilarious.” -Paste
“The Boise-bred comic has confidently and unapologetically reached new heights” -Vanyaland
“Her material is often personal and intimate, and it seems that nothing is off-limits...” -Idaho Statesman

Join us for an evening of comedy as Jonah Ray (MST3K, The Nerdist, The Meltdown) treats us to a stand up set followed by a live feature length movie riff featuring Big Howell + Possum and more special guests!

Join us for a special "Battle of the Bands" head to head style fight to the death podcast recording of the award-winning podcast Stand By Your Band! Tom Thakkar and Tommy McNamara talk about the bands and artists that Pitchfork attacks and your friends make fun of. The comics have on guests who love a band or artist that everyone seems to hate, and together they give that band a fair chance. Tom & Tommy will be joined by comedians from New York, Chicago & Bloomington. This is going to be so much fun!

Is Tom Thakkar...a criminal? A liar? A...killer? Hot off taping his first special for Comedy Central, due late 2019, Tom Thakkar is a comedian living in Brooklyn by way of Indiana and Chicago...or so he says. He claims that he grew up the son of a deadbeat Indian dad, and a hardworking, Red Lobster managing mom. Do we believe him...? We're not so sure. Sure, Tom brought these things up when he made his late night debut on Conan, but he also called himself a "HotGuy03" in a singles chatroom in middle school, and his story just isn't adding up, according to the picture he posted of himself on HotorNot.com in 9th grade. Some of his alibis include co-hosting Comedy Central Radio/SiriusXM's You Up with Nikki Glaser, creating and hosting Stand By Your Band alongside friend and co-host Tommy McNamara, attending Just for Laughs in Montreal, Bridgetown, Limestone, and many more comedy festivals. We've been following Tom's every move...when he was chosen to be a finalist for NBC Stand Up for Diversity, on Doug Loves Movies, in Vice Magazine, on The Todd Glass Show...the evidence is everywhere...Tom Thakkar really seems to be getting around quite a bit...but we want to know...has he ever killed? And if he's so smart...why did his father leave? Next time...on Tom's bio.

Gould wrote and performed on The Ben Stiller Show; one such sketch features Gould as Otto, Cupid's twisted brother, whose arrows convince a young man to fall madly in love with an elderly woman. Another series of sketches features a heavily disguised Gould as Wilford Brimley advertising "Grady's Oats" (a parody of Brimley's Quaker Oatsadvertisements). In one, he speaks of his Uncle Ray's hobby of dressing in a pink taffeta gown and filling his panties with oatmeal; in another, he brandishes a revolver through the window at children.

In 1998, Gould appeared in the episode "Supermarket Story" of the sitcom The King of Queens.

Gould had a featured cameo in the 2003 film Girls Will Be Girls, in which he played a hit-and-run victim who admits to his alcohol problem after having a desperate one-night stand with aging C-list actress Evie Harris, the other driver in the car accident. He was also featured in the film The Aristocrats, where, among other commentary, he presents an Amish version of the eponymous joke. His short films, Last Man On Earth, Break On Through With J.F.K., A Night On Java Island, and Soul Mates are also available for download on his site. Except for the latter, all feature Gould in acting roles. 2009 saw the release of his new stand up special, "Let Me Put My Thoughts In You" on Shout Factory.

Spend the biggest night in comedy with one of the most decorated comedians in the midwest- Brent Terhune! As always, the 10:30 show will countdown to midnight and include a free champagne toast at midnight!

Brent Terhune is a nationally-touring stand-up comedian, writer, and podcaster. His comedy album, Mr. Turkey, went to #1 on iTunes.

Brent got his start in stand-up comedy in Indianapolis, Indiana at the age of 16. Most people would describe him as a white man, but according to Brent he “got the black knocked off of him at an early age when he refused to clean up his room” and he is now doomed to walk the earth as a pale redhead or as he likes to call himself a real “OG” or Original Ginger. Not many comics can pull off Brent’s laid-back style of comedy and still remain just as absurd, relevant, and funny as he is. Whether talking about the everyday struggles of being a redhead, life as a college student and radio DJ, or his off-the-wall Uncle Frank and family, Brent is sure to keep you laughing well after he’s left the stage.

Characters, voices, one liners, and time-tested monologues - Brent Terhune is the embodiment of all these things and more. Currently, Brent is a writer for the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show (he’s been on the show, too) as well as the co-host of the immensely popular podcast that is enjoyed by dozens of listeners, The Interweb Podshow. He’s the creator, writer, and illustrator of the Uncle Frank comic strip and he’s performed at the Iowa Comedy Festival, Gilda’s Laugh Fest, and the Cleveland Comedy Festival (runner up 2012), the Limestone Comedy Festival, and the Laugh Your Ashville Off Comedy Festival.
