Planning the Night
Both stops are in North Hollywood, so the pair fits one Halloween-week evening. Risky Business opens at 8:00 PM, Wednesday through Sunday, with absinthe, whiskey, honey wine on tap, and two free pool tables. Urban Death runs Friday through Sunday through November 1, 2026, and tickets are 28 dollars. Performance times are not listed here, so check the ticket page first and pick a slot late enough to start with a drink at the bar.
