Animation Block Party 2026 returns with a festival of shorts at Lyric Hyperion! The FREE with RSVP event will feature the best new animated festival films from around the world. Animation Block Party shorts will appear alongside live animated comedy from PICTURE THIS! And what is Picture This?
PICTURE THIS! is your new favorite show from Brandie Posey & Sam Varela: two gals who want to push the boundaries of what a comedy show can be. Picture This! is a live comedy show with stand-ups performing while they are drawn live by some of the best animators, cartoonists, and other artists in Hollywood, CA, SF, NYC and Portland. Picture This! has also debuted in Toronto, New Zealand and Australia! The comedians don’t know what the animators are drawing and the animators don’t know how the comedians will react. They’ve sold out shows all over the world for over 10 years, so come see what all the buzz is about, this time with shorts!
It may be weird.
It may different.
But it will be FUNNY!
