Fred Armisen
Fred Armisen pulls out one of his “Comedy For Musicians” sight gags during his set at the Place Theatre on LA3C’s opening night Friday. Armisen jumped between guitar, drums and bass for an hour and a half, riffing inside jokes best understood if you’ve ever been in a band, like the unnecessary hammer-ons guitarists do when playing a D chord, or the cliches from drummers during a drum solo. Playing the set like a variety show, as Armisen put it, he also brought out fellow comedian Chris Estrada —who created the Armisen-produced Hulu show This Fool — as well as the band Def Rain.
