Tragedy + Time = A Dark Comedy Show
3.21 | 9:30 PM | Silver Lake
This dark comedy show leans all the way in, with comics turning their most unhinged, chaotic, and deeply personal stories into laughs.

Paws on the Trail
3.22 | 9 AM | Runyon Canyon
This easy, dog-friendly hike at Runyon Canyon is basically a social hour for both you and your pup.

Free Pet Psychic Pet Reading
