Little Secret, Sellout Comedy and the Green Room continue the tradition of L.A. shows free from the constraints of traditional comedy clubs

Tickets are sold, production responsibilities are well defined and accounted for and comics are paid more than they are at most stand-up showcases anywhere in L.A. Indurti attributes their success to “… a good job curating a line-up that isn’t similar to a lot of L.A. line-ups — heavy male, heavy white, heavy straight.
