COMEDY WALK Sept. 18th FREE TIX

Hi. Hope you can make it to our show COMEDY WALK on September 18th in downtown Los Angeles. To find out about the performers, hosts, venues and print your FREE TICKETS, go to:

www.comedywalk.com/2008/09/

COMEDY WALK presents a FREE monthly comedy festival of two dozen selected comedians from comedy clubs and television. This is your best chance to see who's funny and hot in L.A.

This month's featured performers include Jessica Glassberg, Johnny Dam and Keith Ashton. Jessica Glassberg is the head writer and a performer in the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Johnny Dam hosts the politically incorrect radio show DAMnation. Keith Ashton performs at The Improv.

A shout out to COMEDY WALK performer Jodi Miller for being featured on the front page of MySpace TV last week. Search on "Jodi Miller" at vids.myspace.com. See her live at COMEDY WALK this month.

This month's show is presented on six stages centered at the New Los Angeles Theatre Complex, 514 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, and surrounding venues, from 8:25pm to 10pm. There's plenty of parking in the neighborhood for about $5, but check you're not parking in one of the few lots that closes early. This month's COMEDY WALK is the third Thursday instead of our usual second Thursday of the month coinciding with Art Walk. Neighborhood galleries will be open on the 18th before COMEDY WALK for you to take in the art scene.

Coming up this fall at COMEDY WALK... Our October 16th show has a special theme of Mom Comedy and will be centered at the Tower Theatre. Our November 13th show, right after the presidential election, has a special theme of Comedy for Peace and will be centered at the Palace Theatre. November will feature Middle Eastern comedians.

We appreciate your help... It takes a cast and crew of fifty to run the show. It's only through the dedication of many volunteers that COMEDY WALK is possible as a free show. If you know someone who'd like to get involved and help COMEDY WALK, let me know. We need assistants and camera operators. Another way to help is as a sponsor. In-kind sponsors such as The Onion and Plays411 help provide publicity for the show. A significant sponsor is scriptcopier.com that provides all the show’s printing, including the great color posters. Paid sponsors such as Paramount Vantage help defray some of our expenses.

See you at the show?

Cheers,

Robin
