LA comedy calendar: Upcoming stand-up and comedy shows in LA

Catch Curtis Cook, Brandie Posey, Rick Wood and John Michael Bond host this free comedy show on Wednesday nights at Hollywood’s Y2K-inspired Zero Lounge. The event coincides with the bar’s daily 7-to-10pm happy hour, so hang out for a bit and garnish your comedy with a cocktail or mocktail.

You’ve possibly seen Atsuko Okatsuka’s viral videos on Instagram and TikTok, often dancing with her grandma or killing it in a colorful outfit—or both. But her comedy routines transcend phone-sized screens—there’s a reason she was in our 2019 class of L.A.’s “comedians to watch”—with expertly-delivered bits on the people-pleasing skills she picked up as a cheerleader at Venice High School, her dual daytime and nighttime personas, and just really enjoying sitting on the couch and being surrounded by ranch. Catch her at the United Theater recording her upcoming Netflix special.
