Grief Sucks: A KevOnStage Comedy Special (Late Show)

KevOnStage is running Grief Sucks twice at Pacific Electric tonight, and this is the second set: the late show, Thursday, September 24, 2026, starting at 9:30 p.m. If the early slot sold out, or you just can't get across town by 7, this is your window. It's one of the better Things Happening In Los Angeles on a weeknight, and the later start leaves time for dinner first.

Some background if you only know the handle. KevOnStage is Kevin Fredericks, a comedian who grew an audience online with sketches, podcasts and a lot of short videos, then kept converting those followers into ticket buyers. He talks to his crowd like he already knows them. A lot of them feel like they know him too, which changes the room.

What the show is about

Grief Sucks is billed as a comedy special, and the title is honest about the subject. Losing someone is the material here. So are the casseroles, the awkward condolences and the paperwork nobody warns you about. Comedy about loss works when the comic is willing to stay in the uncomfortable part a beat longer than you expect, and that's usually where the biggest laughs show up.

Late sets tend to run a little looser than early ones. The crowd's had another couple of hours to settle in, and comics often stretch out. No promises, but that's the usual pattern.

Ticketmaster lists this as its own event, separate from the 7 p.m. show. Make sure the ticket you buy says Late Show.

The venue

Pacific Electric is at 1729 Naud Street, on the industrial stretch just north of Chinatown and a block or so from Los Angeles State Historic Park. It's an event space in an older industrial building, not a classic comedy club, so the setup feels more like a warehouse show. Check your ticket for age restrictions and bar details.

Getting there and tickets

• When: Thursday, September 24, 2026, 9:30 p.m. (late show)
• Where: Pacific Electric, 1729 Naud Street, Los Angeles
• Tickets: Ticketmaster. The listing we pulled didn't include a price, so check the link for current seats and fees.

Metro's Chinatown station on the A Line is the nearest stop. It's walkable, though after a 9:30 show plenty of people will want a rideshare home. Drivers can reach Naud Street quickly from the 110 or the 5. Street parking fills up on event nights, and with the early crowd leaving as you arrive, give yourself 15 extra minutes.
