I know there are a lot of fans of the Dead Authors podcast but making the 6:30 show time is hard for most people. Since this is the last taping of the series I thought people might want to plan ahead for a chance to go. [more inside]

There are lots of great shows every week at UCB, but the logistics of a UCB meet-up are complicated: post-work traffic is a problem, especially for earlier shows; there are no physical tickets; people may be reluctant to buy tickets a few weeks out; and many of the most popular shows sell out almost immediately so proposing a meet-up once the monthly schedule is announced may well be too late. ASSSSCAT is perfect because we can choose a date at our convenience, the show is free, it's on a Sunday, which has been a good day for meet-ups, and it's not too late for a school night.

• WHAT: ASSSSCAT, one of the best-known improv groups.
• WHERE: UCB Theatre, Hollywood
• WHEN: Sundays, 7:30*
• COST: Free!

*Show starts at 7:30, and I think people start lining up around 6:30. [more inside]
