LA comedy calendar: Upcoming stand-up and comedy shows in LA

Dynasty Typewriter’s namesake comedy show brings stand-up and assorted entertainment to the theater, including for this NYE show with sets from Biniam Bizuneh, Ali Macofsky, Brent Weinbach, Aparna Nancherla, Ashley Ray and headliner Reggie Watts. Each ticket includes a champagne toast at midnight.

Think men could do a bit of a better job listening when it comes to dating? This Bachelorette-style game show runs with that conceit as its one rule: The four men competing for a date can’t speak. Instead, they’ll nod and doodle while host Allison Goldberg searches their phones and dials their moms. You can usually find Love Isn’t Blind staged monthly (and you can even apply to participate in it); look out for the next edition at Hollywood’s Bourbon Room on January 18.

Ansari shot quickly through the stand-up ranks following his start on MTV’s Human Giant and career-making turns in Judd Apatow’s Funny People and NBC’s Parks and Recreation; the stand-up soon found himself headling arenas with tales about 50 Cent and his cousin Harris and starring in his own lauded Netflix show, Master of None.
