Fred Armisen and Friends

Fred Armisen and Friends is a delightful, genre-bending comedy and music showcase returning to the legendary Largo at the Coronet on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, continuing the artist’s long-standing residency at the intimate Los Angeles venue. Best known for his eleven-season tenure on Saturday Night Live, his co-creation of the sketch hit Portlandia, and his role as the bandleader for Late Night with Seth Meyers, Armisen brings a unique “musical savant” energy to the stage, often fusing deadpan observational humor with virtuosic instrumental demonstrations. These “and Friends” shows are celebrated for their spontaneous, communal atmosphere, frequently featuring surprise appearances from his high-profile collaborators in both the comedy and indie-rock worlds. Whether he is dissecting the hyper-specific habits of punk drummers, performing pitch-perfect parodies from Documentary Now!, or sharing tracks from his recent experimental projects like the 100 Sound Effects album, Armisen’s performances at Largo offer a rare, behind-the-curtain look at one of the most versatile creative minds in modern entertainment.
