Upcoming 826LA Events

Dead Author Readings at Upright Citizens Brigade – J.D. Salinger (Marc Evan Jackson) and Edgar Allan Poe (Craig Cackowski) with moderator H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins): Thanks to the miracle of science, very famous, extremely dead authors time travel to the present and are brought together to discuss their lives and works! But mostly, these dead authors fight like dead cats and dead dogs! And the audience gets to ask questions! That’s you! YOU are the audience! I am saying you get to ask questions! INTERACTIVE!!! Friday, Feb. 19 @ 7pm, UCB Theater 5919 Franklin, $5, RSVP here.

Love Hurts – Ask the Experts: Ask the experts about love, sex, and what shoes to not wear on a first date. Relationship writers Greg Behrendt (He’s Just Not That Into You), Sascha Rothchild (How to Get Divorced by 30), and Lori Gottlieb (Marry Him) will offer wisdom, advice, and lots of snarky comments at 826LA’s post-Valentine’s Day writer’s panel and mixer. Get started with an hour of questions* and answers, then put your newfound knowledge to use with an hour of mingling and drinking. There will be icebreakers. Moderated by married man Joel Stein.
