An existential comedy show in the PRS lecture room!
About this Event

Welcome back to PRS’s latest installment of a comedy talk show here to cure your existential dread. The stand up comedian is known to be the deepest observer. More introspective than Descartes, more earth-shattering than Socrates, more insightful than Nietzsche. The comedian was the first to ask, "What is the deal?" Well, now we get to the bottom of just that. Join host Alison Stevenson as she forces her comedian friends to solve life's biggest unsolvable problems. You will laugh, you will cry, you will think. But most importantly, you will laugh.


Ticket Price: $10 (in-person event only)

Please email [email protected] or phone 323-663-2167 with any questions.


Please Note: The PRS Lecture Room is only accessible via stairs. PRS wants all guests to be able to enjoy our events safely and comfortably. If you require any accessibility accommodation, please reach out to before showtime and we will be happy to assist you.

Host, Alison Stevenson is a comedian and writer based in Los Angeles. Her debut TV appearance occurred on the Viceland stand-up series, “Flop House”.
