Ultimate Werewolf Comedy Show: Comedians vs. the Crowd

**ULTIMATE WEREWOLF COMEDY LEAGUE: COMEDIANS VS. THE CROWD** Come play—or watch—Werewolf, the social-deduction game similar to Mafia, reimagined as a live comedy tournament with professional comedians. Our first show was a really fun success, we sold out, thanks so much everyone for coming out to it! This second show is revamped and HALLOWEEN themed!! More audience participation, more comedy, new Halloween themed roles and Halloween costumes! Looking for Friday night spooky plans before Halloween? Come out and meet this great community. Please RSVP on meetup to connect with fellow attendees and show interest in the event but be aware Meetup RSVP does not guarantee a seat and is not your ticket. Please use the eventbrite link below for actual tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ultimate-werewolf-comedy-show-tickets-2002915666676?aff=oddtdtcreator **TICKETS - $15** Seating and onstage player spots are limited. Get tickets on Eventbrite if you’d like to guarantee your spot. There are a limited number of seats available at the door, only way to guarantee a seat is buying in advance. Limited discount tickets available now! Again, please buy tickets online here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ultimate-werewolf-comedy-show-tickets-2002915666676?aff=oddtdtcreator Part comedy show. Part social-deduction tournament. Complete chaos. Six professional comedians who have performed at venues including The Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, and the Laugh Factory will compete across three live games of Ultimate Werewolf alongside volunteers selected from the audience. A few players will secretly be assigned as werewolves. Everyone else must identify them before the werewolves eliminate the entire village. Expect bluffing, accusations, alliances, betrayals, ridiculous defenses, and extremely confident decisions based on almost no information. PLAY OR WATCH Want to play? We save several onstage game spots for audience members who want to come and compete against the comedians. Prefer to watch? That works too. Follow the mystery, root for your favorite players, and try to identify the werewolves from your seat. Audience participation is completely optional, and no previous Werewolf experience is required. The rules will be explained, and each game will be hosted so the action is easy and fun to follow. The comedians will earn points throughout the tournament. The top three will qualify to return for the next show, and the evening’s champion will close the night with a victory stand-up set. WHAT TO EXPECT • Three fast-paced games of Ultimate Werewolf • Six professional comedians competing in a live tournament • Audience volunteers invited onstage to challenge them • Live hosting, commentary, interrogations, and eliminations • Points, rivalries, and a recurring league leaderboard • A stand-up set from the evening’s champion • Approximately two hours of comedy and social-deduction chaos Come play your favorite game in a fun new format—or sit back and watch professional comedians discover that being funny does not necessarily make them good at lying. **EVENT DETAILS** Doors: 7:45 p.m. Show: 8:00 p.m. Location: The Zebra Room Address: 5176 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 102, Los Angeles, CA 90029 Building: Historic Chaplin Studio Gate code: #5176 *Who will survive? Who will become champion? And which comedian will confidently destroy their own team?* Come find out—and maybe take them down yourself.

Visitors and guests are warmly encouraged to check us out. Pay us a visit and see why we're the friendliest Toastmasters in town!

Club de Español: NOHOLA!

Hola amigos! We are a regular weekly Spanish meetup in the Valley to give some more choices of spots to practice tu Español! It’s for intermediate and up — we won’t speak much English, except maybe to ask a couple questions or if we get tired at the end of the night! We’ll be at a really fun bar called El Tejano in North Hollywood (hence NOHOLA - get the pun?). Find us at the table with a sign that says "Club de Español". They have free chips and great vegan options too. We’ll be meeting on Wednesdays. Nos vemos! \-\-\-\-\-\- **PARKING** The parking is challenging in this area. Here are some suggestions of places that usually have parking within a 5 min walk to El Tejano. * There's usually parking in this [little strip mall](https://goo.gl/maps/9e8UXeu4vL97MA2J7) near Metro by T-mobile shop * [Ralphs](https://goo.gl/maps/Qbte3Xz2Zpz4A33e6)

Chess and Oware Club at Beverly Hills Le Pain Quotidien

Welcome! All levels of chess players can join whether you're a beginner or a grand master. We'll be at the big table in the middle of the restaurant. Some chess sets will be provided but feel free to bring your own equipment. Please RSVP with number of guests if you plan to attend. We play chess between 1:30 - 6:00PM. Parking is FREE on Sunday in the parking structures between Santa Monica Blvd and South Santa Monica Blvd. I look forward to seeing you all at Le Pain! Since early 2026 We've also been playing **Oware** as well and now I'm making it an official part of the club. We play the international tournament version with Abapa rules. It's very easy to learn and a lot of fun to play. So, if there are any Oware players out there, you are most welcome to attend. Feel free to bring your Oware sets if you have them. Here's some info about Oware from Google: Oware is estimated to be roughly **7,000 years old**, making it widely regarded as one of the oldest continuously played board games in human history. Oware is a famous two-player abstract strategy board game in the mancala family, originating from West Africa and widely considered the national game of Ghana. The board has 12 small pits (houses) with four seeds or beans in each, and the goal is to capture 25 or more seeds to win. **A special note to new members and first time attendees:** There are may times where it looks like the only person attending the meetup is the organizer. Don't let that throw you. We have a core group of regulars who show up every week but are allergic to RSVP-ing. Getting them to RSVP is like trying to declaw a feral cat! We also have members who are not part of meetup so they can't RSVP in the first place. When we *do* get RSVPs, you can pretty much double; sometimes even triple that number to estimate attendance. So, come check us out even when it looks like there's no one attending. Hope to see you there!

Dance with Marc and Jan in La Canada

We dance on Thursdays 8:00 - 10:00 PM at the Nourishing Spirits Center on the campus of St. George's Episcopal Church, 808 Foothill Blvd., in La Canada. Whether you're new to folk dancing or experienced, we hope you’ll join us for fun and beautiful dances from around the world. This may be long, but we think you will find it helpful. This event is part of an ongoing group, and you are welcome to come any week. For your first visit, please try to arrive 5-10 minutes early so we can say hello before teaching starts. We will teach several dances appropriate for both new and experienced dancers for half an hour or so, and there will be more dances you can join in after that. You will be dancing the first evening, even if you have never danced before. The particular dances we teach each week will depend on the dance experience of our participants. We'll have a break at 9:00 for refreshments and socializing and then dance again until 10:00. (If you can't stay that late, it's perfectly fine to leave early.) Your $5 helps pay our rent. This is not a business. We dance for the joy of it. We are a very friendly group and very supportive of new participants. The teaching is extremely popular. No one is ever pressured or put on the spot. Our only goal is to have fun together. We no longer require vaccinations or masks, but we encourage good health practices, and some participants wear masks. We use Meetup only to attract new participants (like you!) and not for our normal communications. To learn more about our group or to contact us, please visit [Foothill.Dance](https://Foothill.Dance) (no .com, .org, .net, or .anything else is needed). We hope you can join us soon for a fun evening of dancing and socializing. Jan & Marc Rayman
