Haunted Midnights @ The Comedy Store
Guests are invited to join the legendary venue for a rare peek into the dark side behind the laughter at this famed building that is known as one of the most haunted buildings in Los Angeles. The Comedy Store has played home to murderous mobsters, lost souls and restless spirits for nearly a century. Going back to the days when 8433 Sunset Boulevard was Hollywood hot spot Ciro’s, many an unfortunate soul has gone to his untimely death here and then never gone anywhere else. Your host Skitzo will present stories and videos about the ghostly residents while a magician will amaze and entertain you. The night finishes with a midnight tour through all the most haunted spots in the Store, so you can experience the spooky spirits yourself. Tickets are $15, ages 21 and older only. Doors open at 10:30 p.m. www.thecomedystore.com
