WPCK: Pack Theater Radio is a live “drive-time” radio program for insomniacs, overnight passengers and graveyard shift drones. A multi-media stream of consciousness assembly of a thousand tiny ideas that all weave in and out of each other and into the shadows, WPCK is what it would be like if Genesis P. Orridge had his own podcast network. WPCK is a living, breathing broadcast signal intrusion.
Hosted by lead DJ @b3oc, WPCK is housed in an isolated dilapidated radio station, somewhere just outside of New Los Angeles (a multi-verse that looks like our world but…not.) WPCK is the last telecommunication of the day right after the normal world signs off and the nocturnal world begins to move in the shadows; a pirate radio station of the Underdark.

This Month’s Opening Duo: The Last Men On Earth (Anthony Owliaie & Mike Cardella)
Miles Stroth & Dan Bakkedahl (Daily Show, Veep, Life In Pieces) did the first modern long form two-person show back in Chicago when they premiered ZUMPF! ZUMPF! has been gone for too long, quiet, brooding…The Pack has awaked this sleeping giant. Prepare yourselves for the return of ZUMPF!
A pro wrestling variety show built from the ashes of YSLW Pro. Each month the commissioner and ultimate smark Jason Wayne Christian (Angie Tribeca, You’re The Worst, Speedface) hosts a spectacular hybrid of pro wrestling matches, sketch comedy, character bits and video packages.
Regular performers include our top notch commentary team (including Joey Clift & Nick Gligor) our ring announcer (Cameron Rice) our referee (Robert Chan) and of course pro wrestlers from PWG, XPW, Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Lucha Underground, NXT, Freakshow Wrestling and more.
Come for this wonderful staged mash up that promises gut busting humor and just plain gutbusters.
Jump into your favorite video games, from the age-old classics to the latest, cutting-edge releases!
At ARCADE JAM, we celebrate video games by inviting a guest team to perform the “CUT SCENES” – the cinematic scenes that connect different levels of game play in story mode – inspired by surprise clips of video games chosen by your hosts, SKYLARK (Hope Richards, Lillian Pennypacker, and David Aslan).
After our guest team performs, we invite the audience to follow their lead, and join us on stage for a kick-ass forty-minute cut-scene jam. Audience members will be randomly selected into small groups and will each do short scenes (or sets, depending on time) inspired by video game clips. No one will know the clips ahead of time except for the hosts – it could be Pac-Man, it could be Doom, it could be Leisure Suit Larry – it’s anyone’s guess!
So come on down every second Saturday of the month at midnight for ARCADE JAM! It’s the ultimate experience in improv jam technology!

FOUR CUTE BOYS
Four Cute Boys is the world’s hottest boy band. It may seem like they’re actually two cute boys performing sketch comedy, but that’s a bald-faced lie. Who told you that? If you print that, I’ll make sure you never work in this town again! Written and performed by Jacob Gerstel and Connor Hurley.
From a town full of multi-hyphenates comes a show that puts all those slashes to use. 1/2 variety, 1/2 improv. Full heart. Can’t lose!
Featuring all multi-hyphenate talent including; TV-writers/Comics/
Produced By: Andie Bolt (MTV’s Mary + Jane, HULU Original Comedy)
There will be glitter. There will be glamour. There will be gayness! Please join us for a night of comedy, sketches, and characters. Your host, Varut Chee, will take you on a journey over the rainbow. Who knows you may find at the end? It might be Beyonce!
WPCK: Pack Theater Radio is a live “drive-time” radio program for insomniacs, overnight passengers and graveyard shift drones. A multi-media stream of consciousness assembly of a thousand tiny ideas that all weave in and out of each other and into the shadows, WPCK is what it would be like if Genesis P. Orridge had his own podcast network. WPCK is a living, breathing broadcast signal intrusion.
Hosted by lead DJ @b3oc, WPCK is housed in an isolated dilapidated radio station, somewhere just outside of New Los Angeles (a multi-verse that looks like our world but…not.) WPCK is the last telecommunication of the day right after the normal world signs off and the nocturnal world begins to move in the shadows; a pirate radio station of the Underdark.

Tired of Hollywood movies? Movie tickets are too expensive these days! But you still wanna know what happens in them, huh? Well, problem solved.

GRITTY REBOOT
From the twisted minds of Jellystone, comes Doctor Craine
Settle in for a live reading of the reboot of Frasier you never knew you wanted. Dr. Frasier Crane has been seeming off lately. There’s been disappearances all over Seattle. Will the rest of the Crane clan discover what’s happening before it’s too late?
Does this look familiar…?
“Warm, fit, girl-next-door. In this scene Lisa and her friends are barricaded in their cabin by what at first seems to be a deadly force, although it turns out to only be mosquitoes. In the heat of the moment, they come up with a plan to retrieve bug spray left in the car before the mosquitoes finish them off. This plan includes Lisa distracting the mosquitoes with a brief, goofy choreography routine she learned in color guard.”
Welcome to Hollywood, where that project actually existed.
From your submissions we pick some of the most absurd but real casting calls and have our cast improvise their auditions before a panel of illustrious casting agents. Who will be cast? Six actors square off to book the part, but only one will be victorious.
The Color Collective is a variety show that showcases people of color filled with musical acts, stand-up, sketch comedy and more! Every month, we give our unique take on the world around us and entertain like no one else can. The Color Collective: “The color doesn’t matter, just the comedy”
Finally, a sketch show celebrating humankind’s only noteworthy achievement: the motion-picture! The first Saturday of every month follow your host, Roman Goublié, on a retrospective journey through the literal centuries of movie moments that inspire us to this day. Popcorn and beverages provided at every show! Sit back, relax, and soak in that sweet sweet cinema!
Written and Performed by: Rachel Crowe, Magi Calcagne, Brian Fitzgerald, Lyndsey Kempf, David Kane, and Eli Lutsky.

A pro wrestling variety show built from the ashes of YSLW Pro. Each month the commissioner and ultimate smark Jason Wayne Christian (Angie Tribeca, You’re The Worst, Speedface) hosts a spectacular hybrid of pro wrestling matches, sketch comedy, character bits and video packages.
Regular performers include our top notch commentary team (including Joey Clift & Nick Gligor) our ring announcer (Cameron Rice) our referee (Robert Chan) and of course pro wrestlers from PWG, XPW, Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Lucha Underground, NXT, Freakshow Wrestling and more.

Jump into your favorite video games, from the age-old classics to the latest, cutting-edge releases!
At ARCADE JAM, we celebrate video games by inviting a guest team to perform the “CUT SCENES” – the cinematic scenes that connect different levels of game play in story mode – inspired by surprise clips of video games chosen by your hosts, SKYLARK (Hope Richards, Lillian Pennypacker, and David Aslan).
After our guest team performs, we invite the audience to follow their lead, and join us on stage for a kick-ass forty-minute cut-scene jam. Audience members will be randomly selected into small groups and will each do short scenes (or sets, depending on time) inspired by video game clips. No one will know the clips ahead of time except for the hosts – it could be Pac-Man, it could be Doom, it could be Leisure Suit Larry – it’s anyone’s guess!
So come on down every second Saturday of the month at midnight for ARCADE JAM! It’s the ultimate experience in improv jam technology!
