Tag Team Comedy Benefit Show with Comedian Matt Knudsen

Our newest monthly show is Tag Team Comedy every third Saturday of the month.

Why that’s this Saturday! What better time to tell you what we’ve got planned.

Every Tag Team Comedy show, we team up with a different comedy act at the Mary Pickford Studio in Los Angeles to create an eclectic and energized night of laughter. All proceeds from the show will go to benefit The Mary Pickford Institute. Here’s a teaser of what you might see at this Saturday’s fundraiser event:

We’re very excited to be joined by the very funny stand-up comedian Matt Knudsen. You might have seen him on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (as seen in the clip above) or at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. Or maybe you’ve seen him on HBO’s “Big Love,” ABC’s “Boston Legal,” Fox’s “Malcolm in the Middle,” or Cartoon Network’s “Out of Jimmy’s Head”. Last year, he released his first comedy album The Comedy Stylings of Matt Knudsen, which has been a top seller on iTunes and Amazon. As a member of The Waterbrains, he’s also a great improviser. So you might just find Matt joining us for the Magic Meathands portion of the show this Saturday night. Featured Meathands will be Carol McLaine, Nikki Turner, Shane Boroomand, Marshall McGehee, Mary Benedict, Jim Maloy, and Bill Johnson.

The show starts at 8 PM, Saturday, October 15. Tickets are $7.

The Mary Pickford Studio is located at 8885 Venice Blvd., Suite 102, Los Angeles, CA 90034. Optional RSVP on Facebook.
