ON the Stage
Comedy: YouTube sensation Daniel Howell comes to the Lobero on Monday (12/5), and Kat Sophia did a terrific interview with the British comedian, covering everything from what it’s like to be internet famous to his very public coming out, his Taylor Swift encounter (she drew a picture of him), and more.

She had me at “Unicorn” — is there a more magical word in the English language? (Please tell my husband to get his mind out of the gutter!) The harrowing, hilarious, and true tale of her drunk brother trying to murder her is the subject of Stacie Burrows’s new dark comedy solo show Bulletproof Unicorn, which comes to Center Stage Theater December 8-10. Burrows, who spent 10 years as half of the musical comedy duo Mommy Tonk, brings this show to town fresh off the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and two sold-out shows in .LA.
