What: We're fans of literacy, sure, but we're also fans of dogs on tightropes. Luckily, the writing tutors and all-around word lovers at 826LA deliver both with their Fall-Time Yuk-Fest fundraiser at the Avalon. Chuckle-inducing luminaries Janeane Garofalo, Patton Oswalt, and Tim and Eric will be joined by a baffling circus hound act called Bob Moore's Amazing Mongrels Dog Show. It’s sure to be a night of witty weirdness only 826LA could offer.
Why: The proceeds support ongoing efforts to teach kids to write in something other than LOLspeak. OMG!
‘Yuk’ isn’t an acronym: Avalon, 1735 Vine St., Hollywood; 8 p.m.; $25-$35
