TALKIES is the West Coast’s best unconventional, experimental, and multimedia live comedy variety event. At Talkies, comedians, writers, improvisers, and performers work outside of their regular routines to push the boundaries of comedy; PowerPoint presentations, characters, and off-stage antics are the order of the day.
Started in the San Francisco Mission District basement of Lost Weekend Video store, this monthly show has been an incubator for many unique comedy talents spreading their wings on weird flights of fancy. During the pandemic Talkies pivoted to a livestream format and built a cult following. Since Spring 2022 the show has found its new Los Angeles home at Echo Park’s VHS palace Whammy Analog. The show is also a regular sell out feature of SF Sketchfest.
Past guest performers have included Aparna Nancherla, Frankie Quinones, Mike O’Brien, and Lizzy Cooperman. This Thursday, May 16th the show will feature
