Comedy Dynamics Has Acquired Worldwide Rights To The First Gay Male Stand Up Comedy Anthology Feature Special

Ahead of the show's world premiere and taping, Comedy Dynamics has acquired worldwide distribution rights to Brash Boys Club, the first gay male stand up comedy anthology feature special staring Owen Alabado, Dash Kwiatkowski and Brad Loekle to be directed and produced by the creator of Comedy InvAsian and Brash Girls Club's producer Quentin Lee through his shingle Margin Films.

Scheduled to be taped on January 30, 2020, Brash Boys Club is a one-night stand of gay comedy, daring to be the first gay male stand up comedy special and addressing the dearth of gay male comics in The Stand Up world. Come watch Brad Loekle, Owen Alabado and Dash Kwiatkowski record a 90 min. comedy special on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 7:00 pm & 9:00 pm @ CSz LA (The Monroe Forum) at the El Portal Theatres in North Hollywood, 5269 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, CA 91601. Bridget McManus will be the show's opening comedian.

"There is a dearth of gay male comics because the white cishet club bookers and comedians don't make space. "Gay" is still a punch line to the vast majority of people in power in this industry," said comedian Dash Kwiatkowski.

The distribution deal was negotiated by Comedy Dynamics' VP of Distribution and Acquisitions Anna Roberts and Producer/Director Quentin Lee.

"We are excited to be working with Quentin again and cannot wait for everyone to see Brad, Owen, and Dash bring their much needed points of view to the world," said Brian Volk-Weiss, CEO of Nacelle Company and Comedy Dynamics.

BRAD LOEKLE was a semi-finalist on season 9 of NBC's Last Comic Standing and TV audiences will recognize him from his 8 seasons on the hit TruTV series, World's Dumbest. Logo featured him in their 2016 Aspen Comedy Special. And Brad's made guest appearances regularly on an assortment of shows on VH1, MTV, LOGO, E!, and many more. He was a writer for Fashion Police and has performed in over 70 countries around the globe.
