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:

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!

Laughter to the streets of downtown Los Angeles
Beverly Hills, CA, January 2, 2008 – COMEDY WALK kicks off on January 10th, 2008, from 8pm to 9:30pm, in downtown Los Angeles. The FREE monthly event presents more than 30 comedy acts performing at five simultaneous venues in the historic downtown’s Gallery Row and Old Bank District in the neighborhood of Main and 5th streets. The monthly 30-act COMEDY WALK event is the lead-up to the massive 300-act LOS ANGELES COMEDY FESTIVAL coming to downtown in November 2008.
Comedian Rick Overton, who’s appeared in episodes of Seinfeld and won an Emmy writing for Dennis Miller Live, is one of the COMEDY WALK performers. "I like the whole COMEDY WALK idea", says Overton. "In virtually any other city, walking means that you are healthy and have somewhere important to go. In Los Angeles, it means that something has gone horribly wrong with your career. I like to walk to my favorite diner. When I get home, there'll be messages on my service: ‘Hey man, I was driving by and saw you walking down Ventura today. I just hate to see you out there all on foot like that. Is everything okay? Do you need one of my cars? Call me…I'll be on the treadmill watching Dr. Phil on the flat screen, but I'll leave my cell phone on.’ Sheesh… COMEDY WALK is the healthiest thing comics have done in years."
During COMEDY WALK, great comedy performers will present sneak peaks and excerpts of their club and stage shows. Each act is up to ten minutes long. Five COMEDY WALK hosts, who’ve appeared in such television shows as Carpoolers and Pushing Daisies, introduce the comedy acts and banter with the comedians. COMEDY WALK showcases the work of all types of comedy performers including, stand-up comics, sketch, improv, Latino comedy, LGBT comedy, musical improv, burlesque, and more. COMEDY WALK is being held in cooperation with the Los Angeles Downtown Art Walk, a monthly event that draws a crowd of 3,000 people to 30 participating neighborhood art galleries. Art Walk is held from noon to 9pm. COMEDY WALK is held from 8pm to 9:30pm. Art Walk and COMEDY WALK are on the second Thursday of each month. Both events are FREE.
COMEDY WALK came about as part of "King of Downtown" Brady Westwater’s plan to revitalize Los Angeles. "I serve pro bono on at least 29 boards, committees and commissions," says Westwater. "I live and work in downtown Los Angeles. I’m the fourth generation of my family in Los Angeles." Westwater is one of the founders of DLANC, the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council. The downtown activist and blogger has worked to bring cultural events downtown, such as the BOXeight Fashion Week, in a successful strategy that’s turned around downtown. Westwater’s secret negotiations to bring a major out-of-town comedy festival to Los Angeles came to naught when the festival organizer unexpectedly exited the festival business entirely. Westwater looked for a local solution: comedy writer and event producer Robin Rowe.
"With thirty acts in five venues, the Los Angeles COMEDY WALK is the biggest, funniest comedy walk in the world," says COMEDY WALK executive producer Robin Rowe. "Brady made a convincing case for bringing comedy events downtown. And, I was already impressed by what he’d accomplished bringing Fashion Week downtown. It’s Brady who suggested a monthly comedy walk to pave the way for holding a major comedy festival here in November." To make COMEDY WALK happen, Rowe called on the help of friends who are members of ScreenPlayLab, a two-year-old 2,200-member filmmakers association.
Jeff Tully produces the daily comedy/variety TV show The Daily Habit on FUEL TV (DirecTV Channel 612). "I love comedy," says Tully. "I love producing it. I love all that stuff. I think what Robin’s doing is awesome! COMEDY WALK is a much needed element in L.A." Tully will have a camera crew covering COMEDY WALK for FUEL TV on January 10th. Tully is a comedy producer, stand-up and sketch performer who’s attended many ScreenPlayLab events over the years. The five COMEDY WALK hosts are also ScreenPlayLab members.
"COMEDY WALK is going to be a great, fun way to sample the comedy talent playing throughout Los Angeles," says COMEDY WALK talent director Lawrin Goulston Salazar. "I’m excited to be part of it." Salazar is the executive producer of the LOS ANGELES COMEDY FESTIVAL and an owner of the 66-seat McCadden Theatre in Hollywood. Selected performers from COMEDY WALK will appear in the BEST OF COMEDY WALK show on January 21, 2008, at the McCadden Theatre. The summer LOS ANGELES COMEDY FESTIVAL is May 1st to May 18th at the McCadden Theatre. The winter LOS ANGELES COMEDY FESTIVAL is in November 2008 at multiple downtown venues.
COMEDY WALK is a production of MovieEditor.com, founded by partners Robin Rowe and Gabrielle Pantera in 1999. They’ve produced several conferences and more than a hundred live events. Rowe and Pantera are known as journalists and as the co-hosts of events at ScreenPlayLab, a 2,200-member filmmakers association.
