Beth Stelling writes some of the sharpest personal stand-up around, with a Netflix hour, The Landlord Special on YouTube and TV writing credits behind her, and Let Me Get Loose is the newest chapter. The Bell House is the right size for her: big enough to feel like an event, small enough that you catch every aside. If you like confessional comedy that is precise rather than shouty, grab a seat for either show.
What to expect
You walk into a high-ceilinged former factory with a long bar at the back and a stage up front under warm lights. Seating fills in first come, so arriving early matters for a good view. Expect a tight opener and a full headlining hour from Stelling.

Common questions
Is there assigned seating?
The Bell House generally runs general admission for comedy, so earlier arrival means better seats.
Is there more than one show?
Yes. The Bell House lists a second Let Me Get Loose set later the same evening, at 9:30pm.
