Aug 16-22. A full week of shows, industry panels, classes, afterparties, and more - let's do some funny business! Sponsored by Visit Burbank and Downtown Burbank Partnership.
Every week, top LA comedians, surprise guests, and dedicated new talent from the Flappers community fight the forces of injustice and oppression with wit, satire, and probably one (but not more than three) dick jokes.
Certain shows will raise awareness about issues that affect our community, while others will be fundraisers for specific causes.
Past supported community and progressive causes have included the ACLU, The Greater Flint Foundation, Bernie Sanders, The Burbank Temporary Aid Center, Bikers Against Child Abuse, The Burbank Animal Shelter, and many more.

BOOK
Comedian Brian McDaniel ENTOURAGE, TMZ, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE INSPECTORS, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL
Brian grew up in Prince George's county Maryland, riding the bus to school where comedy was the ultimate factor in deciding social status. Mostly, he just tried to avoid being embarrassed by the popular kids and the foul-mouthed big-banged girls that followed them. But he was learning by osmosis, picking up on what was funny and what was just swagger, which jokes made everybody laugh, and which ones just unified the cool clique in their superiority. He couples this experience with the pop culture expertise of a TMZ veteran to write material that's incisive, ridiculous, and surprising.
He's got the seat at the back of the bus now, everyone's laughing, and if you get ripped, well... you deserved it.
He graduated from USC, wrote for the CBS Diversity, appeared for years on TMZ, and now travels the country performing. WEBSITE | |
