But only because he asked us to. It was another sold out show for our favorite Brit..and was it funny!! After the stand up routine, we were all happy to play heckling fans as Russell returned as lovable lothario Aldous Snow as he filmed a few snippets for the upcoming movie “Get Him To The Greek.” Such a fun night - not a dry eye in the house, as tears of laughter took over the room. As always, such a pleasure to work with Team Russell - hopefully we see you all again soon! Also, don’t miss Russell TONIGHT on Jay Leno! Many thanks to some of Russell’s die-hards for taking such great pictures during the show! Check out TINKERBELLA’S photos for some great ones of Russell as Aldous Snow. Stay tuned as we post some of our own later!

Tickets for December 11th go on sale Thursday, August 14th at 10 AM and December 12th is already sold out!For this tour, booked in hand selected intimate venues, Dweezil Zappa and company have included multiple bonus accouterments to add to your Zappa Plays Zappa experience.

VIP packages are also available that include all of the above as well as a poster created exclusively for this event, and access to the soundcheck!
Zappa Plays Zappa is more than just a tribute band that simply wants to recreate the hit songs in concert to reach out to a new generation of potential fans. This is a tribute band with a mission:
to dig into Zappa’s vast catalog of music (he recorded and released more than 80 albums beginning with his 1966 debut, “Freak complex, meticulously and arranged extended instrumental compositions. Out!”) and focusing on the highly rehearsed

Possibly best known for their stint as MTV’s first “Band in a Bubble” (They were challenged to write, record and produce a full length album in the 20 days while living inside the bubble, while fans were allowed to access 23 strategically placed web cameras 24/7) they’ve definitely managed so make their mark in the real world. With Cartel’s brand of pop/punk/rock - you can’t help but want to move. Come move with us…the strip will be rocking, rest assured. Tickets, HERE.
So, it might not be the most appropriate of Father’s day gifts - but Russell’s comedy show is something not to be missed. Its the grand finale, and after a solid 6 week, sold out run - we’re sure our favorite Brit will take it out with a bang. We know he’s been the subject of a hefty about of press since the run began, check out the latest one written by Chris Lee and latimes.com
Clad head to toe in skin-tight Johnny Cash black, Russell Brand mounted the stage at Hollywood’s venerable rock venue the Roxy Theatre on a recent Sunday looking every inch the louche, preening British rock star of archetype. His haystack of “Edward Scissorhands”-esque hair: impressively vertical. His winkle-picker boots: pointy and sharp. Brand’s shirt was unbuttoned nearly to his waist, revealing a cluster of silver Gypsy medallions as he looked up to face the capacity crowd.
Then he started talking. Because Brand — who ends a six-week “residence” of sold-out Roxy dates Sunday night (several were added “due to overwhelming demand,” according to the venue website) — had come to rock the house with jokes, not music.
And for all you folks that tuned in to see Russell on Leno on Tuesday, we don’t have rats. Ghosts? Questionable. Rats? Negative.
REBELUTION are no strangers to the Roxy (they played with SOJA, in February) - and everytime they play, their fan base seems to grow and grow (I guess that’s kind of the plan…). But we knew these guys would be stars! We’ve seen them go from support to headliner and we’re happy to be a part of it. Come check it out and show them some Roxy love as they headline our stage for the first time. Along with partners in crime, IRATION and LatchKey Kid - its going to be a very reggae night! Tickets can be found here!

The bold English comedian kicked off the first of his four shows at The Roxy on Sunday - and it was hilarious!!! Stemming from the success of his movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” - he is the hottest comedian on the scene! We’re excited to transform the room into a comedy club a few more times this month- come check it out! Click here to see some great fan pictures.
