#SaveOurStages

When one imagines living the LA lifestyle to the fullest, it’s impossible not to think of nights spent at legendary venues such as The Troubador, The Comedy Store, or The Whiskey A-Go-Go. Unfortunately, these world-famous institutions, and many others, are facing the very real potential of closing their doors forever. Luckily, the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) has united over 2,900 independently owned venues across the country as part of the #SaveOurStages movement. We’d like to take this opportunity to feature a few of our favorite local mainstays that could use your support, as well as a selection of our current listings in their respective neighborhoods. Click here to make a donation that supports all the venues mentioned, or click here to generate a pre-written letter to Congress urging them to take action.

The Whisky A-Go-Go, hailed as the “first real American discothèque,” remains one of the most iconic rock & roll landmarks in the nation. In 1972, Whisky co-founder Elmer Valentine, along with Mario Maglieri, started The Rainbow Bar and Grill. Elton John himself performed at the venue’s grand opening. The rest as they say is history, with notable patrons including such rock royalty as John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Jimmy Page, Ronnie James Dio, Slash, Dave Grohl, Ozzy, and especially Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.

The self-proclaimed “greatest comedy club in the world” was established in 1972 and has remained a mainstay of the Strip ever since. Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey and Whoopi Goldberg are just a few of the prestigious alumni who got their big breaks at “the Store.” A great set within its hallowed halls still has the potential to make a rising comic’s career.
