About COMEDY WALK

  • Gabrielle Pantera
    Producer

COMEDY WALK is a free comedy show held once a month in downtown Los Angeles. COMEDY WALK launched on January 10th, 2008.

What Do Comedians Say?

Comedian Rick Overton, who’s appeared in episodes of Seinfeld and won an Emmy writing for Dennis Miller Live, is a COMEDY WALK veteran. "I like the whole COMEDY WALK idea", says Overton. "In virtually any other city, walking means that you are healthy and have somewhere important to go. In Los Angeles, it means that something has gone horribly wrong with your career. I like to walk to my favorite diner. When I get home, there'll be messages on my service: ‘Hey man, I was driving by and saw you walking down Ventura today. I just hate to see you out there all on foot like that. Is everything okay? Do you need one of my cars? Call me…I'll be on the treadmill watching Dr. Phil on the flat screen, but I'll leave my cell phone on.’ Sheesh… COMEDY WALK is the healthiest thing comics have done in years."

What Is a Comedy Walk Anyway?

A comedy walk is a comedy event presenting simultaneous shows within walking distance of each other. The audience can sample different acts from different shows by walking to a different venue. COMEDY WALK maintains an honored tradition of live comedy performance and is important to the cultural vitality of the city of Los Angeles. This FREE event presents two dozen comedy acts performing at six simultaneous venues.

COMEDY WALK performers have appeared on Carpoolers, Pushing Daisies, Saturday Night Live, and Seinfeld. They’ve appeared in televised comedy performances on Comedy Central Comic Groove, Comedy Central Live at Gotham, Comedy Central Premium Blend, Comic's Unleashed, BET Comic View, and HBO Def Jam. They’ve been on radio with National Lampoon Radio, The Playboy Morning Show, Sirius, and XM Radio. They’ve appeared live at the Comedy Central Stage, the Comedy Store, the HA HA Club, The Ice House, The Improv, and the Laugh Factory.

COMEDY WALK brings laughter to downtown Los Angeles. COMEDY WALK promotes comedy, diversity and downtown Los Angeles. Six simultaneous 90-minute shows on six stages, a total of nine hours of comedy in one evening. Each COMEDY WALK stage presents ten acts.
