Fred Karger, the nation’s first openly gay Republican Presidential candidate, has a launch party for his new campaign commercial, set to start airing next week. “Sexy Frisbee,” which was filmed on Venice Beach, will air as a 30-second commercial, but a longer version will be screened at the launch party at Eleven Nightclub in Boystown from 8-10 p.m. Karger expects the video to go viral.
Comedian Richard Lewis goes to therapy to get fodder for his stand-up routines. He cracks up audiences enough to earn a spot on Comedy Central’s list of the top 50 stand-up comedians of all time. Here’s a chance to catch Lewis in a rare intimate show as he performs at Largo at the Coronet Theater. He’s joined by the Denny Seiwell Trio (Seiwell is best know as the drummer in Paul McCartney and Wings). Doors open at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m.
