LOS ANGELES, CA: Lucky comedy stans waiting in line for the 8pm show on Saturday night, Aug. 21, outside the iconic Comedy Store on Sunset were wowed with a surprise pop-up comedy set performed by the Emmy® nominated cast and creators of the hit show HACKS from atop a double decker open air bus. How very British. From the HACKS cast, Emmy® nominee Carl Clemons-Hopkins, along with Meg Stalter were joined by creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, and consulting producer writer/comedian Joe Mande.
From on high, or aboard a “Hacks” themed bus, a DJ spun some records and then introduced the HACKS team who performed their comedy schtick to the delighted guests who lined the sidewalk enjoying the surprise prelude to their evening of comedy. But you can have just as much fun catching the clip below, and the show on HBOMax.
