TYF! w/ @BarVonBlaq, @MyqKaplan, @HeyItsLiam, and MORE
THE TELL YOUR FRIENDS! RETURN OF BARON VAUGHN
with MYQ KAPLAN, DAVE WAITE, and MORE!
First of all, thanks to everyone who showed out for the Tell Your Friends! Spring Fling. We had a packed-out audience, and a couple photographers running around taking pictures so hopefully by next week we’ll have a link to those. So thank you to all, and hopefully we’ll see you at our next Little Big Show.
THIS WEEK: As the Tell Your Friends! at Lolita era ends, we’re bringing back one of our oldest friends; before he starred in the hit USA show ‘Fairly Legal,’ before the movies ‘Cloverfield’ and ‘Black Dynamite,’ Baron Vaughn spent a couple of years as the regular host of Tell Your Friends! It is a pleasure to bring Baron back one last time before we close up shop in our little Bar Basement To The Stars. We have a super solid lineup this week.
