Would You Rather with Tom Zawacki and Andy Richter

Tom Zawacki's Would You Rather turns four this month, and the anniversary show has a guest worth planning a Saturday night around: Andy Richter. If you are mapping out things happening in Los Angeles this weekend, this one is an easy pick for anyone who likes their comedy loose, a little rude and built on audience-friendly chaos.

When: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 7:30 PM Where: Lyric Hyperion Theater & Cafe, 2106 Hyperion Avenue, Los Angeles Price: $17.85 online, with the poster listing $15 in advance and $20 the day of

What the show is

Would You Rather is a comedy game show. Zawacki hosts, and a comedian or celebrity guest has to answer uncomfortable questions, with a prize wheel deciding who picks the choice. Each month brings a new guest, and the questions are designed to be awkward in the fun way. It is closer to a roast of the guest's own decisions than a traditional stand-up set, so there is no need to know the host's material to enjoy it.

The guest

Andy Richter is best known as the longtime sidekick on Conan's late-night shows, and his résumé stretches through Arrested Development, Andy Richter Controls the Universe and plenty of voice work and podcasting. A four-year anniversary show with a guest like that should draw a lively crowd, so expect a full room.

The venue

Lyric Hyperion is a long-running Silver Lake theater and cafe that has hosted live comedy, music and drag for decades. It is a small, neighborly room, which suits a show where the host and guest are only a few feet from the audience. Check the venue's own listing for the current food and drink menu.

Getting there and tickets

Hyperion Avenue runs through Silver Lake and Los Feliz, and street parking nearby can fill up on a Saturday night, so leave extra time or rideshare. The show runs about an hour and a half, starting at 7:30 PM, which leaves room for dinner nearby afterward. Tickets are sold through the AllEvents listing linked above.

If a night of laughs with a recognizable face is what you want, this is among the more fun things to do in Los Angeles this weekend.
