Last week Los Angeles Penn alumni gathered in Hollywood to celebrate some great emerging Penn talent.

The night was filled with some dirty good comedy from host DJ Lubel (C'05) and great original music, improv, inspiring monologues, some over the top characters, a belting rendition of The National Anthem, and of course, a must-see musical(!) bit from the Bloomers alumni about what it means NOT to be Jewish at Penn. (hysterical!)

After the jump, check out some photos and videos from the night!

And congrats to Jeni Sue Birnbaum (C'08), Aimee Musil (C'06), Allison Karic (C'09), and EJ Baker (C'09) for putting together a spectacular event!

As you may recall, for 6 years here in LA and one year in NY, I had created a Penn "emerging talent" Pennfest event showcasing the work of Penn filmmakers and musicians.

I am now happy to report that Pennfest has evolved.  The event will now be split up into a performance-themed night and a film showcase night and is now being led by the brilliant and super creative team of Jeni Sue Birnbaum (C'08), Aimee Musil (C'06), Allison Karic (C'09), and EJ Baker (C'09).

First up is "Penn Live" to be held at the Dragonfly in Hollywood on 9/21.
