Dom-Prov Valentine’s Day Edition – Feb. 2024

It’s Balentime’s Day, BITCHES.💘 Dom-Prov returns for a very special Balentime’s Day edition! Mistress Ivana loves to celebrate her absolute favorite holiday with our improv company and she has more sweet treats for you than a Whitman’s sampler. The holiday may be named after a saint, but nothing that happens during Dom-Prov is church-sanctioned! And don’t forget, Mistress loves receiving traditional Balentime’s cards and presents… 💕💌💕

What is Dom-Prov?

Dom-Prov is what happens when our Mistress forces our improv company to do her bidding…

Come see our improv company perform short-form improv sketches and vie for the affection of our very own Mistress who punishes and/or rewards them. Pay careful attention as the Mistress’s punishments and rewards are often very similar. Using suggestions from our audience, Dom-Prov is a fast-paced, painfully funny, improv showcase.

It’s improv. . . with a safe word.

Brian Simpson & Frank Castillo

Monday October 18th, 8:00 PM Showtime / 7:30 PM Doors

The Punched Quest for the Magical Puffco featuring Brian Simpson, Frank Castillo and Rachel Wolfson. Presented by Punch Extracts, Raw, Puffco and Smoke.

Brian Simpson is a stand-up comedian whose background as a foster child and Marine Corps veteran has led to a rare combination of life experiences that he manages to channel into a refreshingly unique point of view. Brian is a paid regular at The Comedy Store, has been named a New Face 2021 at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and recently made his TV debut on Comedy Central’s Lights Out with David Spade. You can catch him next on Season 3 of The Standups on Netflix.

Frank Castillo worked his way up to a paid regular at The Comedy Store. Frank became a staple of The Comedy Store Roast Battles, and in January of 2017, Frank became the Champion of Roast Battle II on Comedy Central. Frank can be seen in the Showtime documentary The Comedy Store, in Mike Binder’s upcoming feature Halfway To Amarillo, and most recently released his first album Lupe with Comedy Dynamics. He has two podcasts Buddies and Peak’d supported by Puffco, Punch extracts and Alienlabs.

Rachel Wolfson is a Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian. Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rachel began her comedy career in LA in 2016 and since then has toured the country with her brand of high humor. Wolfson’s comedic style is a hybrid of crowd work and the dry humor of her day-to-day life. You can see her in February 2022 in the fourth installment of the Jackass franchise Jackass Forever as a new cast member. Rachel also performs stand-up nightly so follow her on social media to catch a show.

Butter – On Hiatus

Butter is on hiatus at Funhouse Lounge this month, April. Catch the show back in its normal slot at its normal spot in May!

The churning of cream transforms its components into a semi-solid emulsion that’s used to make things better. That product is called butter, so is this comedy show. 

It’s not the show that is butter, but those solitary moments that are shared by everyone at the show. 

This butter has silly antics, a try-hard host, and a steady showing of the funniest stand-up comics around.

The show will happen if you’re not there, but if you are, you’ll make it a lil’ bit better. See, you were the butter the whole time.

Hosted by Cam Strong

This show is on the second and fourth Friday of every month!

Doors 9:45pm / Showtime 10:15pm

21+ Only

General Admission – $10 at the door


Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Musical

The Funhouse Lounge is proud to present its grand re-opening show,  Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Musical, a live musical stage parody of the 1992 cult classic film Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 Buffy Summers was just a normal Southern California high school cheerleader, planning dances and shopping at the mall with her friends. Then, a mysterious stranger appears with the shocking revelation that she is “the Chosen One”, destined to battle bloodsuckers from beyond the grave.  Armed with only her courage, athleticism and sarcastic wit, will she be enough to stop the Lord of vampires from taking her city? The Funhouse Lounge presents its unique take on this cult classic film that inspired the hit TV series, jammed to the max with humor, dance numbers, pop culture references and a totally rad soundtrack of familiar pop hits. C’mon down and see how a woman takes care of business when the ‘stakes’ are high.

Doors open at 6:30 / showtime is at 7:00 pm
