On Greedo's first full day out, I drove with him from Dallas to his SXSW performance in Austin. We talked about his plans for the future, the loss of Drakeo, how it feels to be out, the voodoo soul that fuels his music, and everything else. https://t.co/KhxL2sIJNO

Had a good chat with @ralphbarbosa03 about hustling in comedy and the George Lopez controversy…catch him in LA this week!
The Dallas-based comic made a splash after being dogged on a podcast by George Lopez, but it's only helped his career. He returns to L.A. this week.

This man meant so much to me.…to so many. He gave me my first shot at joining LA Times over a decade ago and taught me how to persevere even after the door gets slammed in your face. Always keep going. Write the next story... RIP Randy 💔 https://t.co/BFPejjSvhH

The newest era at the country's oldest ongoing comedy club, @theicehousecc, is upon us. Carlin, DeGeneres and Leno are just a few of the comedians who've played there. Its reopening is one of many things @njacksonjourno is looking forward to in 2023: https://t.co/37ZB6aK0Eh

In the spirit of the new year, it's only right that we dive into some bullet points that are already getting us pumped for more comedy this year.

My review from last nights show…if you can go this weekend, you should go—just not for the slap jokes.
Chris Rock was ready to let his guard down enough to open up inside the Dolby Theatre on the first night of his four-night stand in L.A. to close out his Ego Death tour Thursday night.

Kanye West has become poison to businesses across america. I spoke with church leaders about why they're not giving up on him yet, despite his recent string of offenses my latest for @latimes:
latimes.com
Some pastors and members of the Christian community have been hesitant to publicly admonish him. Others feel compelled to speak out.

Wrote about a lil comedy theater where, just about any night of the week, you can see something totally unhinged, a little messy -- and often, extremely brilliant https://t.co/vOeVwqLOpH

The new L.A. theater allows boundaries between stand-up, theater, and performance art to be constantly blurred and expanded.
