The Ice House Comedy Club is always the place to be on New Year’s Eve and this year is really going out with a bang when former MMA fighter-turned-comedian/podcast host Brendan Schaub takes the stage to bid adieu to 2019. In addition, The Ice House will also present a three-act all-star comedy show on Stage 2 with Lachlan Patterson, Helen Hong and Eric Schwartz.

Schaub is an American stand-up comic, podcast host, and TV personality based out of Los Angeles. He recently developed his newest hit podcast, “The King and the Sting,” in collaboration with his good friend and stand-up comic Theo Von. The show has skyrocketed to a level of unprecedented popularity by debuting as the #1 podcast in the world on iTunes its premiere episode. After two years of headlining sold out shows worldwide, on Jan. 19, 2019 Schaub recorded his first one-hour comedy special, “You’d Be Surprised,” with Showtime. In addition to his successful career in comedy Schaub is also on Bravo’s “Play by Play,” E!’s “After Party,” Showtime’s “Below the Belt,”  Comedy Central’s 7th season of “This is Not Happening,” David Ayer’s upcoming film “Tax Collector,” and Joe Rogan’s “Fight Companion” podcast.
