   Spring Break Forever: A WGA Fundraiser Show (with Jon Gabrus, Ben Rodgers, Max Silvestri, Steph Tolev, Ahamed Weinberg, Robby Hoffman, and Rachel Kaly)

   It's a depressingly rainy spring here in once-beautiful Los Angeles, so we headed to the beloved halls of Dynasty Typewriter to relive spring breaks past with our own crew of rowdy daytrippers and MTV VJ-wannabes: Jon Gabrus, Ben Rodgers, Max Silvestri, Steph Tolev, Ahamed Weinberg, Robby Hoffman, and Rachel Kaly. We lived vicariously through various, troubling spring breaker personas; learned about vast cultural differences from around the world; and even tried to join the mile high club on the plane over. Vacation, it's all we ever wanted. Hosted by everybody's favorite travel companions: Amir Blumenfeld, Geoffrey James, and Danny Sellers. P.S. This show was a WGA fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Entertainment Community Fund to support writers striking for a more equitable wage.

   A Two Person Standing Ovation (with Charlie Bardey & Natalie Rotter-Laitman, Francesca D'Uva & Ruby McCollister, Tim Platt & River Ramirez, and Karen Chee & Josh Gondelman)

   It's been a New York minute, but we're back in action with our next east coast installment of Headgum Happy Hour hosted by Jake and Amir! For our fifth episode, we return to the hallowed halls of Caveat and are joined by comedic duos Charlie Bardey & Natalie Rotter-Laitman, Francesca D'Uva & Ruby McCollister, Tim Platt & River Ramirez, and Karen Chee & Josh Gondelman. We finally get into the nitty-gritty of romantically using the term "partner", Flaco the Owl's great escape, Venom and Superman's complicated will-they-won't they relationship, deconstructing the highs and lows of iconic song Take Me Out to the Ballgame, stress-induced alopecia, and more!

   We’re not sure what’s in the air, but something about mid-February got us thinking about relationships. For our first New York installment of Headgum Happy Hour hosted by Jake and Amir, we invited some of our favorite comedic duos and headed to Caveat. We were joined by Dan Licata & Eliza Hurwitz, Sam Taggart & George Civeris, Charlie Bardey & Natalie Rotter-Laitman, and Jo Firestone & Aparna Nancherla. No stone was left unturned with prescient coverage of the little known 6th Queer Eye cast member, love at first helicopter ride, being a bad nanny, dog beauty standards, M3GAN, having a taste for soft wet foods, Jake and Amir’s pilot, and more!

   New Year, Same Us (with Greta Titelman, Carl Tart & Lamar Woods, Jamie Loftus, and Geoffrey James & Reilly Anspaugh)
