Comedy Walk won't have a show on September 17th due to venue scheduling issues.
Each month our biggest challenge putting together Comedy Walk is getting the venues we need. Our venue sponsors let us into spaces that would otherwise be dark. Sometimes we get fantastic theaters such as the New LATC, the Palace, and the Los Angeles Theater.
Comedy Walk venues can change right up to the last minute. That can get pretty exciting for me as executive producer. It's quite an adrenaline rush to find yourself asking the question, where can I find a performance space for a show that needs to start in ten minutes?
Comedy Walk performers are the best. They've have been supportive and understanding, even when I've been forced to ask them to perform in spaces that are not worthy of their talents. Comedy Walk comedians have huge hearts. I appreciate their unflagging enthusiasm to make downtown Los Angeles the best location for comedy.
All our moving around and uncertainty makes it challenging to mount a consistently high quality show and to publicize it properly. The best solution may be a permanent theater. Last year we came close to that goal. When that fell through, I put the show on hiatus. We're still negotiating for spaces that can afford to host us.
The next Comedy Walk is scheduled for October 15th, to be held in conjunction with Los Angeles Fashion Week. I don't have an answer yet on Comedy Walk venues for October. Please stay tuned.

No Comedy Walk for December
Hi. There's no Comedy Walk event for December.
We had a great Comedy for Peace event last month at the magnificent Los Angeles Theatre. Before our line-up of select comedians came on stage, we presented a screening of the Oscar-winning comedy musical WEST BANK STORY with audience Q&A with star Joey Nabor. Thank you to director Ari Sandal for lending me his 35mm print to show.
Also in November, the great folks at if.net flew in our online comedy contest winner Alec Sobel to perform in our show. Thank you Nicole Dunn for making that happen! Story here:
http://www.northjersey.com/entertainment/stage/Comic_makes_a_name_by_ruffling_feathers.html?c=y&page=1>http://www.northjersey.com/entertainment/stage/Comic_makes_a_name_by_ruffling_feathers.html?c=y&page=1
There are too many people to thank for making Comedy Walk happen. It was ambitious to present a monthly live comedy show on six simultaneous stages for free. We couldn't have done it without the help of dozens of volunteers. It wouldn't have been possible without downtown theaters generously providing space so we could put put on the show for free.
A year ago, downtown activist Brady Westwater came up with the idea of Comedy Walk and called me to produce it. It was always a Field of Dreams type of venture, build it and they will come. Casting director Gabrielle Pantera was fantastic at producing the talent part of the show.
Producing a large live monthly festival/show with no budget tested my mettle as a producer. Without Brady as location manager and Gabrielle to cast it, I couldn't have done it. Thank you Gabrielle and Brady!
Love you guys!
Robin
