"We use the power of storytelling to make entertainment, advertising, venture, technology and sports...More Better," reads the mission statement by Emmy-award winning producer, comedian, actor, entrepreneur & founder of the new multifaceted company, More Better - Rob McElhenney.
Launched earlier this year, More Better focuses its energy on three dynamic entities: More Better Productions, More Better Advisory and More Better Ventures. Among these impressive entities include the hit Apple TV+ comedy series Mythic Quest, the FX sports documentary series Welcome To Wrexham co-hosted by McElhenney & Ryan Reynolds, Four Walls Whiskey, and the forthcoming Sundance selected drama series Me/We written by McElhenney & Keyonna Taylor.
And now, the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia star & creator is bringing More Better into the stand-up comedy space beginning this Wednesday night at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles for the first ever More Better Comedy Showcase.
This inaugural show, hosted by Mekki Leeper, will be a hilarious night of stand-up comedy featuring top comedians Leeper, Blair Socci, Vinny Thomas, Mo Welch, Kiran Deol, Luke Null & a special guest providing endless laughs, and wild card surprises more entertaining than any Paddy’s Pub shenanigans. And if you're not in LA, good news is you can livestream the show from home. It'll be a night More Better than anything you’ve ever experienced!
