Echoes Under Sunset To Be Reborn as Echoes on Pico

A few years ago, there was a marvelous, intimate performance space in Echo Park where plenty of comedy, music, art shows, screenings, etc. would happen called Echoes Under Sunset run by one Christian Chavez. It was so beloved and popular that it actually got to be an LA Weekly pick for Best New Comedy Club in 2014.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, they had to close their doors and effectively disappeared. 

Now, in 2017, Christian has found a new space just south of the Miracle Mile on Pico Blvd. (more specifically right across the street from Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles on Pico) where he’ll bring the Echoes name back to life. He just received the keys to the place last week, but shows, mics ought to be happening very soon at what will now be called Echoes on Pico. 

If things go at Echoes on Pico like they did with Echoes Under Sunset, expect to be hanging out near Pico and La Brea a lot more often.

What was Echoes Under Sunset? For 4 years, Echoes was a place where comedians, artists, musicians and performers of all kinds could come together, not just to showcase their talent but also to enjoy a sense of community. It was a home away from home for so many people, an underground, cozy have...

Echoes Under Sunset was as DIY of a place as you could get and both figuratively and literally an underground venue, but it still managed to get voted as one of LA Weekly’s Best New Comedy Club and had a hell of a run over four years.

It gave a stage to open micers, up and comers, people who just got their break and pros and was definitely addition to the LA comedy scene.

After unceremoniously being shut down, Christian Chavez, the owner and proprietor, has been eyeing a return for Echoes in the already cool, but still booming neighborhood of Little Tokyo, just a couple miles of away from Echo Park, the original home of Echoes Under Sunset.

He’s already got a space picked out, but he needs help with making the space into the wondrous comedy venue that he once had including sound equipment, lighting, flooring, furniture, stage, etc. 

This new Echoes has a GoFundMe set up for $50K and we highly urge you to contribute and donate at the link above.

Stand-up comedians Hampton Yount, Josh Sharp, Nick Rutherford, Greg Barris, Andrés Du Bouchet, Kiran Deol, Clare O'Kane, and more join host Ryan Singer and guest co-host Dave Waite in not only doing anything that isn’t stand-up, but getting delightfully weird about the whole affair.
