Comedy Research in Los Angeles Question
I'm an academic geographer in the early stages of research on a book about the geography of comedy. I had a similar question recently when I visited San Francisco and several people were very generous to help out. So now I'm reaching out to L.A.
This week, I'm hoping to hit up as many clubs as possible and I hope to talk with as many comedians as I can while I'm there. So my question is where should I go? Any LA based-comedians I should see between tomorrow and Sunday? Any comedians willing to talk with me? Maybe I can take you out for coffee or a beer! I'll be happy to explain more in a DM if you want, but it's a project I'm pretty excited about.
But I'm also interested in what clubs or shows I should see. I have a good idea of the famous ones of course, but are there particular shows at those places. Also in your opinion where should I go to see local working comedians putting on a showcase? Working new material? Are there any underground comedy shows I just wouldn't know about? Things like that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
