Murray Hill and Kathleen Hanna in Conversation

Two very different kinds of stage presence share one chair on Wednesday, November 11. Comedian and drag king Murray Hill sits down with Kathleen Hanna, the lead singer of Bikini Kill, for a live conversation at Largo at the Coronet. It is a talk, not a concert and not a stand-up set, which makes it an easy pick if you are scanning upcoming events in Los Angeles for something with more words than volume.

When: Wednesday, November 11, 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM Where: Largo at the Coronet, 366 N. La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA Tickets: Sold through the venue's ticketing partner. The listing we cite gives no price, so check the ticket page before you go.

Who is on stage

Murray Hill is a comedian who performs as a drag king, built around a fast-talking lounge-host character. Kathleen Hanna fronted Bikini Kill, one of the defining bands of the riot grrrl movement. The listing describes the night simply as an in conversation event with the two of them, and the flyer carries the logo of Book Soup, the West Hollywood bookstore.

We have no word on a moderator, a Q&A segment or a book signing, so treat the format as an open conversation and expect the evening to run roughly two hours, per the listing.

What to expect

Conversations like this tend to wander, and these two come from comedy and punk, so expect stories more than a prepared lecture. Largo is a seated theater room, which suits a talk. The source does not publish set times, an opening act or an age limit, so we are not guessing at any of them.

Getting there

Largo at the Coronet sits on La Cienega Boulevard, just south of Beverly Boulevard. The listing does not mention parking, so look up nearby lots and street rules before you leave, and allow extra time on a weeknight. Doors and seating details come from the ticket page, not from us.

If you are building a midweek plan, this is one of the more unusual things happening in Los Angeles that week, since most of the week is club nights and touring concerts. Browse the rest of our arts and culture listings for other talks and shows around town.
