Dear fam, I was on a first date once and the woman was talking to me and I said, "I'm sorry, I missed that, can you say that again, please?" She quickly said, "Oh, you have ADHD?" I said, "No, you have a television over your shoulder."  I don't know about you but I feel over-stimulated everywhere I go these days. I'm still not sure how much of that is a product of our current world or if I'm just becoming older and crabbier. This is why I love theater.   People get comfortable, put away their phones and share a common live experience in a very intimate space. And guess what? I've got shows, people. I hope that you can come out.   And there's a bar called The Plunge attached to the theater where we can have a drink after and catch up. I promise that I will face away from the TV screen. ;-) Love, Joe THURSDAY, JAN 16TH AT 8PM! Special Guest: Musician Jessica Gerhardt THE JOE & JOSHUA SHOW is back for 2020!

"Two extraordinary comedic actors!"

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

View this email in your browser "This production is blessed with two extraordinary comedic actors. It doesn’t take long to see that, under the inspired direction of Jacob Sidney, the production owes a lot to Laurel and Hardy. Ester is a big man who tries endlessly to fit into a vest that he resolutely maintains is his. The first hilarious ten minutes or so of the play is taken up with his futile efforts to button that vest. Val enters with two cups of coffee and immediately begins comic business with sugar packets. Mr. Hernandez-Kolski is short and slim with a face, I swear, that calls to mind Stan Laurel." — Paul Myrvold We have our ONLY Monday night show TONIGHT! Click here to buy tickets! Dear fam, We are in the second weekend of shows and we run until December 14th. PLEASE come out for a good laugh and please come the sooner the better!  As I said in my last email, I am working at saying "no" to more activities, devoting my time only to projects that I really love and believe in. "Waiting for Waiting for Godot" is one of those projects. We have a great production team and a really funny script. Written by Dave Hanson (writer for Chelsea Lately), it's based on his very real experience as an understudy for a production of "Waiting for Godot."  If you're in LA, please make the time to come out.

"It's like you started a party and invited us all in." -Gustavo Sanchez Dear family: I'm fortunate enough to be sitting on a sound stage right now, in the middle of shooting another video game (see pic below). Performance capture is a lot of fun. They put you in a body suit with sensors, they put a ton of dots on your face and you're transformed into a different character in a whole different world. It requires a lot of patience as they put you into the suit, calibrate your range of motion, then draw each dot on your face (which always tickles me to the point that I wanna scratch but can't). But once you're done preparing, there's a lot of freedom. I'm still working at being comfortable in that freedom both on and off the stage. But I'm getting there! Joshua and I are working hard to push our own comfortability and embrace a freedom (on stage and on screen) that we've been developing for several years now. Here's our latest comedy short titled "Church of Kanye." If you dig it, PLEASE: Like it! Share it! Subscribe! And this Friday night, Joe & Joshua will be tackling the topic "MUSIC!"

He is a graduate of Wesleyan University, where he cut his teeth compiling oxford comma lists of comedic triplets, while learning the ways and language of technocrats, neoliberalism, and performative outrage. Since returning to his native Los Angeles in 2016, he has released two musical projects (his six and seventh, notably), and cultivated a petite hullabaloo in the rap and electronic music scene. His live performances and recorded works are available in extra-high-definition and honesty (including verbose in select countries), and have earned the praises of LA Record Magazine, LA Weekly, and AFROPUNK.
