In case you haven’t heard, Big Bear is a play written and directed by Patrick McDonald that follows a friend group airing their grievances in real time. The show will star Lauren Lopez, Joey Richter, Jon Matteson, and Angela Giarratana, among others from Starkid and Dropout. Both digital and in-person tickets are available now. Please support this show if you are able!!!

10th September (one week from today!) 7:30pm at Dynasty Typewriter - The Great Debate: Dropout vs. Starkid

I went to the website to get the dropout guests and I may be the one breaking the news that Lily Du is replacing Anna Garcia? Plus Oscar Montoya and Rekha Shankar

And from Starkid, Angela Giarratana, Devin Lytle and Joe Walker, with of course Joey Richter as the best host!

In person tickets $25 here (preferred seating sold out! Help them sell out the rest of the tickets so they can keep doing shows here and we can all get good quality livestreams which leads me to my next point…)

Livestream tickets $15 here which let you watch live and vote in real time along with the audience, and if you can’t make it live you still get access to the VOD for 72 hours!

29th September 7:30pm at the Elysian Theatre - Gross Prophets

Featuring Lauren Lopez, Joey Richter and Marty Scanlon in his debut as Bachman!

I wish I was going to this show so please go on my behalf! If you saw it in the last LA run there’ll be a lot of changes including a brand new section with a special guest, so go again!

In person tickets here - $25 general admission (diamond elite VIP $777 if you really want that fast track to success)

No digital ticket for this one but the more people they recruit to The Company™️ at this show the more chance of a Corporate Semi-Annual Regional Recruitment Event in a city near you in future!

✅ Cheering/clapping when the house lights go down: yes absolutely!! It’s an exciting moment!!

✅ Cheering/clapping at the end of numbers: 10000% yes!! Perfect time to show appreciation

✅ Laughing at jokes: of course! It’s a funny show

✅ Cheering/clapping at intermission: yes! They just killed the first act. Clap through the whole intermission if you want

✅ Organic reactions: no problem! But the key is organic (I’m thinking about the audience reaction in the scene where Bill tries to save Alice as an example - people are in the moment! They’re invested!)

✅ Cheering/clapping at the end of the show: fucking absolutely!!!! Go wild!! Give Lauren the fourth wall break nightmare she deserves!!

🚫 Screaming/cheering/clapping over the start of the opening number: no! If you’re still going when Jeff starts singing you’ve gone too long

🚫 Screaming/cheering/clapping at people’s entrances: no! I know you love them. I know you want to let them know. But save it for those appropriate moments. The comedic timing of this show was already great and they’ve finessed it even more, so don’t stop the flow. Even for cameos I know people will be excited about! Even for your favourite actor/character!

🚫 Any kind of heckling: definitely not!! This is not an interactive show. They don’t need you to make jokes or give commentary. Same for exaggerated dramatic reactions

🚫 Saying the lines/singing the songs: hard fucking no!!!!! You know them all. Same! But keep it in your head. People aren’t paying to hear you, they’re paying to hear the cast. Save the singing/quoting along at loud for the digital ticket/youtube version at home!

It’s incredible that TGWDLM:R has raised almost 5x the budget of the original and that it’s become more funded than even the 10 year anniversary, AND is the highest funded theatre kickstarter ever. And I’m so glad they get to see how much support there is for it after being worried it’s not something people would be interested in

But on the other hand

Tin Can Bros are doing The Great Debate live at Dynasty Typewriter this Sunday May 18th with a really fun line up and Joey as an excellent host. If you can make it to LA, please get a ticket! I got to see this show live in March and laughed the whole way through

And if you can’t make the show in person there are livestream tickets! You can tune in live and be part of the voting, or the VOD will be available for 72 hours afterwards. Both available here! https://www.squadup.com/events/the-great-debate
