What is WordPlay?
It's part This American Life, part stand-up comedy. It's where some of L.A.'s best writers and comedians come and share their true stories while our DJ spins a real-time soundtrack - like an organ player in a silent movie theater, but less Olde-Tyme. Also, there's free beer and wine.

Upcoming Shows

We Have Moved to Pittsburgh!
Yes, it's true.  WordPlay (and the producer) have relocated to Pittsburgh.  Stay tuned for details about our new home and possible L.A. shows throughout the year.

Directions & Parking

Street parking only, so allow time. Off of Heliotrope and on New Hampshire often work for us if there is nothing on Melrose.
