Stand Up Comedy Shows
Los Angeles

Robin Williams with Steven Pearl

I didn't know how much fun you could have in Los Angeles for free! Years ago I went to the Ice House in Pasadena, regularly, to experience live comedy. You had to buy dinner to see the show. It turned into a hundred dollar adventure real fast! Nowadays, parking in Hollywood to go to the Comedy Store is $15.00 or more! Then another $15.00 to get in! A great night out, if you can spare the cash.

Being older and a bit more frugal, I now quench my comedic hankering for free! Some of the best kept secrets more

"Back in the days"

Steven Pearl
by Damaris Vallani

In the most offbeat venues one night you may be lucky and catch Steven Pearl. A Comedy Store regular that seems to get as much fun making crowds laugh as the folks that enjoy laughing with him. His act is unique, fast and furious. He puts out more energy than a hyperactive child and his comedy is diverse as a dyslexic Hitler (vision an upside down heil) to inviting the crowd after the show for drugs and muffins. He disclaims that afterwards as he hates fiber! Make the effort to catch him (if you can, phew!)

A well-respected comedian whose been compared to a tornado on amphetamines. His high-energy comedy act is both outrageous and hysterically original. Born in Far Rockaway, and raised on Long Island New York. Steven Pearl has been performing stand-up comedy professionally since 1979. He began his stand-up career in such prestigious NYC comedy clubs as Catch A Rising Star and The Improv, moving to San Francisco in 1979. Steve Pearl bio and pics too!

Editing Your Film or Video
by Gael Chandler

Filmmakers often hoist the camera and shoot their film or videotape but have little idea how to turn their hard, heartfelt effort into a completed show. They wonder what exactly an editor does to make the raw footage come together so smoothly and fluently. Let me demystify this last process, called editing, editorial, post production, or simply post for you. more on film edit

Getting started in Stand up.
by Drew Ercolono

I have always liked to make people laugh. I have always been spellbound watching comedians flow jokes, comments and insults seemingly off the cuff. I was thinking about learning stand up for a long time. I ran across an ad for Dante's comedy classes last year. The first class was free and I decided to jump in. It intrigued me for a number of reasons. I have always been a latent ham, I feel that I can communicate well, and I wanted to get out of the house and meet some new people.

His classes are both theory and practical. He has had guest speakers Mel Kohl (one of my favorites), Georgia Jean (very cool Ausey comedienne), Joey Gaynor (Improv genius), Rene Sandoval (Que loco!) and more. more

Funny boy to funny man
by Willie Bingo

'I was born in a hospital outside of Pittsburgh on October 12, 1969. It was then that I knew that I wanted to be a comedian. I did all the funny baby bits….the poop in the pants, dribble on the bib, the clamp down too hard on the nipple…Things were going great. Everyone would come to see me, and oh how they laughed! But then I turned two, and my career suddenly took a turn for the worse. I was no longer the funny baby I once was. The old gags didn't work anymore. I was constantly heckled and yelled at. They said I was 'terrible'. I would hear whispers and overhear conversations referring to me being part of the 'Terrible 2's'. I tried to block it out. I went on a sugar binge…box after box of Cap'n Crunch, Oreo cookies, and whole teaspoons of pure granulated sugar. The next two years were a blur. more bingo
