Funhouse Lounge

Die Hard the Musical Parody – Streaming Event

Written by

In 2017, Funhouse Lounge presented its first original work of its kind, Die Hard the Musical Parody. It was a live stage version of the 1988 Willis/Rickman action classic, re-imagined as a musical. During its 3-year sold-out run, it became a holiday tradition for many who came to see it.

We are happy to say it has returned last and this year, live on stage, for another sold-out run. However, we understand that some of you may not be comfortable gathering to see it. Or, you waited too long and didn’t get tickets. Or, you don’t live nearby, but still like stuff that kicks ass. Or maybe you want to enjoy it with friends and family on that big screen TV at home. If any of these describe you, we have what you need.

We will have a recording of this year’s performance that will be available to watch streaming this Christmas weekend. Showtimes are December 24th, 25th and 26th.

So, treat yourself to a present you deserve after another long hard year. Gather your family around the TV. Make your favorite hot drink, remembering that the drunker you are, the funnier you are.

Welcome to the party, pal!

Starring: Sean Ryan Lamb & Landy Lamb

Featuring: Mandy Khoshnevisan, Jennifer Madison Logan, James R. Dixon, Aidan Nolan, Phil McNassar, Josh Edward, Linh Nguyen and Aurora Hernandez

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

Written by

It’s Balentime’s Day, BITCHES.šŸ’˜ 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 Whitmanā€™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… šŸ’•šŸ’ŒšŸ’•

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.

21+ only

Tickets start at $18
Doors open at 9:30ish / show at 10:00 pm

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 Centralā€™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 Binderā€™s upcoming feature Halfway To Amarillo, and most recently released his first album Lupe with Comedy Dynamics. He has two podcasts Buddies and Peakā€™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. Wolfsonā€™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

Written by

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 thatā€™s used to make things better. That product is called butter, so is this comedy show.Ā 

Itā€™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 youā€™re not there, but if you are, youā€™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

Written by

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 ā€œthe Chosen Oneā€, 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. Cā€™mon down and see how a woman takes care of business when the ā€˜stakesā€™ are high.

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