Last weekend, the entire cast of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia performed two live shows at the Troubadour in L.A., and while the quality of footage isn’t great, fans of the show will probably want to watch “The Nightman Cometh” — the Season 4 finale that’s a mini-musical — performed live. Via IGN, Matthew Gonzales says:
[H]opefully, it will still give you some idea of how awesome the show was. The cast did the entire episode and everyone was there from Artemis to Frank to the Waitress. They even did extra songs that weren’t in the episode but helped complete the linear story of the play (this includes Dennis preforming Charlie’s original Dylan-esque nightman song with Mac joining in for the second half). The show was hilarious and it was an amazing experience seeing one of my favorite T.V. shows preformed live–especially in the intimate setting of the Troubador.
He’s definitely right about the Troubadour. That place (along with Father’s Office in Santa Monica) is one of the few redeeming things about L.A. I mean, besides all the fake boobs.
Confused and bored by all this talk about a show you don’t watch? Don’t worry, I’ve got videos after the jump that should color things in a little bit.

…along with Father’s Office in Santa Monica…
To me, the Father’s Office in Santa Monica epitomizes everything that’s WRONG with LA – the burgers are admittedly great, but there’s no burger in the universe that’s worth standing around for 2 hours in an overcrowded closet surrounded by pretentious dickbags and their vegetarian girlfriends who heard it was totally boss (or whatever expression the kids are using these days to describe trendy things). There’s a new one open in Culver City that’s not nearly so frustrating to negotiate.
/end rant.
You’ve got to pay the troll toll to get into the boy’s hole.
Anyone who is a master of friendship and karate should watch this.
Fair point, Zack. Last time I went was five or six years ago, and I never waited.
Very rarely do I give in to peer pressure about “oh this show is so awesome you are missing out.” I did with this show and am a better man for it.
do you think they were clear that they did not write that song and would never have sex with a child, just to be clear?
Nightman … aaaaah-Ahhhhhh-AAHHHHHHHHHH!
Agree with the first post about Father’s Office. I’ve never been to the Santa Monica one but even the Culver City location is ridiculous. Actually the only good thing about Father’s Office are the sweet potato fries. And the troubador is meh. The good thing about L.A. are the great deals on housing.
Charlie as Frank Serpico was one of my personal favorites
I can only think of one bad thing about this show…more specifically the dayman song. If I hear it once, it’s in my head for the next week, in which i sing it around everyone, which in turn makes people hate me more than normal. This is just one of the many reasons I have no friends.
I literally want to kill myself for missing this. And Father’s Office sucks the shit out of the camel’s ass. Zach nailed it. Sitting there giving the stink eye to assholes who hog a table for 3 hours in a packed restaurant while I eat standing up need to be stripped down and set ablaze. It’s basically the spawning point for every douchebag hipster in LA.
