<h2>Encyclopedia Commedia</h2><h3>Fri, July 21, 2023</h3><h3>Doors: 9:10 PM / Show: 9﻿:30 PM</h3><h3>Pre-Sale: $12 / Day-of: $﻿15</h3>Encyclopedia Commedia is an unhinged comedy trivia show covering all the knowledge in the world, one encyclopedia entry at a time. Each show brings together a diverse variety line-up of comedians, artists, and experts for an unforgettable, hilarious night of drinks and thinks. Laugh, defeat your friends, and win actual prizes! Every installment explores a single volume of the encyclopedia, as performers entertain you with acts based on individual entries. Audiences members play along throughout the night using their phones for ample opportunities to win prizes. Hosts Brad (Second City) &amp; Claire (The Atlantic) Einstein (real last name) and Gamemaster Jesse Cramer (The Savage Lovecast) are your resident comics hooked-on-phonics that keep things pumping between acts with their stellar shenanigansDuring its acclaimed A to Z run at New York City’s Caveat Theater, Encyclopedia Commedia featured comics from Last Week Tonight, The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, Impractical Jokers, Los Espookys, and The Late Show alongside the strangely educational delights of a battle opera duet, a thoroughly researched defense of bestiality, a cannibal puppet show, and a performance from a 19-piece brass band. Now in Los Angeles, Encyclopedia Commedia will become your go-to strictly-alphabetical pseudo-intellectual spectacle of comedy and brains. The July 21st show explores Volume A: From Aardvark to Azimuth, with an assload of amazing additions along the way! Brad Einstein (Creator/Host): Credits include The Second City National Touring Company, Baby Wants Candy, 2-time National Parks Service Artist-in-Residence, The Onion, Billy On The Street, BarkBox, Shameless, Chicago Fire, Winner of the 2022 Climate Comedy Cohort, Aspen Ideas Festival, and more. Claire Einstein (Creator/Host): Credits include The Atlantic, The Aspen Ideas Festival, The Tribeca Film Festival, Cards Against Humanity, and more. Jesse Cramer (Producer/Performer): is a producer for The Savage Lovecast and has written and produced content for FX, A24, Amazon, Funny or Die, Zachary Quinto’s Before the Door Pictures, among others. "Brilliant comedy mastermind Brad Einstein invites a diverse crew of comedians to help him explain… all the knowledge in human history. It sounds like a daunting task, but we believe in this buckwild gonzo."– Time Out NY
