8:00pm
L.A.'s
stand-up comedy scene comes to the Speakeasy
with a night of professional comedians straight
from clubs such as the Improv, Comedy Store, and
Laugh Factory. Curated by Jerrod
Cardwell, a
ten year veteran writer for such luminaries as
George Lopez, Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno and Carrot
Top (yes he said it - Carrot Top! - you got a
problem with that?), Jerrod brings his friends
from the world of stand-up to the Speakeasy stage
for a very funny evening. The
bookmark artist is Southern California's
very own Charles
Phoenix. The
password is "Schecky".
And
the best part, there's no two drink minimum.
(Unless you want it...shh!)

Kitsch-culture
archivist-humorist-author and "histo-tainer" Charles
Phoenix has always been fascinated with Americana.
As a kid growing up in Ontario, California in the
'60s and '70s, he became interested in '50s cars
while visiting his dad's used car lots. From there
his interests grew to art, fashion and architecture.
