Netflix’s stand-up specials keep us cackling at home, but the streaming service’s ambitious comedy festival is nothing to laugh at. The second iteration of Netflix is a Joke Fest is here through May 12 with more than 500 shows at 35-plus venues. For its final weekend, highlights include stand-up from Trevor Noah, Brett Goldstein, Chelsea Handler, Sheng Wang, Nicole Byer and Taylor Tomlinson; an I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson live show; a turn-of-the-millennium-inspired show from @iamthirtyaf; and a slate at Outside Joke (the open-air fest behind the Palladium) that includes sets hosted by Jim Jefferies and Atsuko Okatsuka plus Roast Battle with judges Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser.
We don’t know about you, but our mind is always focused on the weekend. It can never come soon enough—which is why we’re already thinking about what new restaurants we want to try or where we can drive for the day. Whether you’re looking to scope out the latest museum exhibitions or watch a movie outdoors, you’ll find plenty of things to do in L.A. this weekend.
We curate an L.A. weekend itinerary of the city’s best concerts, culture and cuisine, every week, just for you.
