Nothing Written Down, Ben Schwartz and Friends Improvise the Dolby Theatre on October 24
The Parks and Recreation actor and voice of Sonic brings a fully improvised show and unnamed friends to Hollywood on Saturday, October 24.
On Saturday, October 24, the Dolby Theatre will host a show with no script. Ben Schwartz and Friends takes the stage at 7 p.m., and by the Dolby Theatre’s description nothing is prepared beforehand and “every word is made up on the spot.”
Schwartz brings fellow performers on stage with him, and the venue does not name who will join him in Hollywood, so the guests stay unannounced for now. The Dolby says the show has sold out rooms around the world, including Radio City Music Hall, the Eventim Apollo, the Sydney Opera House and the Royal Albert Hall.
The listing calls Schwartz an Emmy-winning writer, actor and comedian. It points to his television work on Parks and Recreation, Space Force, House of Lies and The Afterparty, to the three long-form improv specials of Middleditch and Schwartz on Netflix, and to his voice work as Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, set for 2027.
Practical Details
Saturday, October 24, at 7 p.m., at the Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Boulevard. The show is for ages 16 and up. The venue lists tickets at $75, $59.50, $49.50, $44.50 and $39.50, each including a $5 facility fee, through Ticketmaster, and Live Nation carries the date as well. Cameras and recording are not permitted. The Dolby has been a comedy room lately, as with Aziz Ansari’s run.
