Unlicensed/Unsolicited

NOSY NEIGHBORS, YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT ISSSS....

After multiple back-to-back sold out shows across Los Angeles, Youtube's "That’s Hollywood, Baby" is bringing back its wildly chaotic interactive comedy experience: "UNLICENSED/UNSOLICITED!" — the show where the star is YOU...especially if you love to overshare.

Created and hosted by River Johnson and Laurel Kathleen of "That's Hollywood, Baby," the show invites audience members to confess their deepest secrets, worst decisions, petty grievances, dating disasters, workplace drama, unhinged thoughts, crossroads, and even ask the age old question..."Am I the a$$hole?" through custom “patient intake forms” filled out before the show begins.

Anything goes...as long as it's JUICY!

Then? A rotating lineup of comedians, drag performers, characters, and special guests attempt to solve complete strangers’ problems despite being deeply unqualified to do so. But hey, they've seen some sh**. So, it's basically like they're qualified, right? (In this economy, do you have a better option?)

But our cast of comics will not be the ONLY therapists. Oh, no, no, no. YOU will also be clocking in to help our "lucky" patients using interactive audience voting paddles that can get your voice heard group therapy style.

Using crowd participation, all star comedians, voting paddles, alcohol, and unpredictable confessions pulled live throughout the night, every single show becomes its own beautiful train wreck. Think late-night comedy show meets a sleepover where everyone suddenly begins oversharing. Yasssssss!

No two shows are ever the same.
