Pitch us a funny show!

Pitch a Show to The Pack!

Have a wild and weird funny live show idea? Good. We want it.

The Pack Theater is home to some of the boldest comedy in Los Angeles — from sketch and improv to character bits, experimental formats, and genre-breaking chaos. If your show makes people laugh, feel, or think “what the hell did I just watch?” — then you’re probably in the right place.

We’re looking for:

  • Live comedy shows (scripted or unscripted)

  • Character shows, improv, sketch, stand-up, clowning, game shows, panels, video screenings, multimedia shows, or stuff that’s not listed here!

  • Recurring monthly/bi-monthly shows or one-offs!

  • Amazing concepts you create and grow here to later develop into potential streaming, online, or TV shows.

  • We love indie improv & sketch teams, but we don’t want just “your team does a set” (come up with a cool and unique format or hook for your team!)

We love:

  • Unique takes on familiar formats and strong comedic voices

  • Diverse perspectives and bold ideas

  • DIY energy and a little bit of chaos

  • Distinct show titles and show branding

  • Spectacle!

  • Shows that bring together performers and teams from the wider LA comedy community: (UCB, Groundlings, Elysian, WGIS, Pack, Yard, WE, SES, etc.)

  • Shows that promote themselves (motivated to pack the house, we’ll try to help!)

We provide:

  • Stage, lights, mics/speakers, tech support, ticketing, and a badass L.A. comedy venue smack dab in the heart of Hollywood, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz.

  • Promo support via our socials via collabs on our socials. Our IG grid is your grid if you add us in time to see it before your show!

  • A large and spacious dressing room for your performers. And an even larger private back alley area!

  • Seating capacity for 55 people at the most in-your-face and fun (for performers and audience) venue in Los Angeles. It’s the LA comedy Black Box Comedy Theater version of Fenway Park in Baseball, Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium in basketball, the old ECW Arena in Pro Wrestling, or legendary LA music venue The Smell. The close-up crowd can get loud adding for a heightened, exhilarating, positive experience for crowds and performers alike. Additional seating can be added upon request, depending on the type of comedy show and its popularity.

  • LA’s most underground and community-driven comedy theater for 9 years. (Granted, we missed 2 years during the pandemic.)

  • Free parking for you and your audience in the spacious parking lot. And in LA, that’s probably the most important sentence on this page.

Our rates:
Our rates for timeslot deposits are much more flexible than the Show Pitch Form above and below suggests. We don’t want finances to be a hurdle to you putting up something amazing. If you want some assistance in this department, just let us know!
