MultiCon fan convention hosts LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM Comedy Roast at Skirball Center

Thanks to an epic collaboration with KutSharp Productions and Autism in Entertainment, several LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM fan favorites host a roast! These singular reality show stars hereby extend a direct challenge to any celebrity brave enough to join the live, onstage spectacle - Saturday, August 8th, 4:45 p.m. - as part of the MultiCon pop culture fan expo and charity event at the Skirball Cultural Center. Here’s looking at YOU, Kevin Hart, Jeff Ross, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! How about YOU, Jim "Dr. Robotnik" Carrey? What say YOU, Dr. Doom? Could you withstand grilling from the unfiltered, neurodivergent talent of Netflix's Emmy-winning, #1 show? We dare you!

MultiCon is a one-day fundraising extravaganza – from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 8 - that features name talent panels, exclusive interviews, autographs, selfies, giveaways, a vendor exhibit floor, and a cosplay celebration: all the hallmarks of a great fan confab, all for a good cause. Last year, MultiCon raised over $100,000 for wildfire recovery efforts and welcomed legends like Seth Green, Kevin Smith, and Robert Kirkman. This year, MultiCon joins forces with the LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM cast to raise critical funds for mental health. The LOTS Roast Squad includes emcee/casting producer CHELSEA DARNELL,*DYLAN AGUILAR, SUBODH GARG, AARTI GARG, MELISSA RAMIREZ, and DEVIN MORRISSEY (subject to change depending on availability), with virtual appearances by DANI BOWMAN and ADAN CORREA. Additional cast members are to be announced or to appear spontaneously! Supporting the Roasters are Tyler Berman, Mallory Reese, and Amos Stillwell of Spectrum Laboratory, plus inclusive beauty influencer/entrepreneur Alexa Phelece. Bonus: uncanny cosplayer Ameen Sajjadi promises to pop up at any moment . . . Chimichanga! But why? Be there and see for yourself.

Marlene Sharp and Rob Kutner of KutSharp Productions express excitement about the upcoming show. "These emerging comics are eager to go beyond their LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM personas and join the comedy big leagues! During the recent Netflix is a Joke Fest (May 2026), they got a taste of the limelight due to our LAUGHS ON THE SPECTRUM opening night variety show at Laugh Factory Hollywood. The upcoming MultiCon Roast experience is the next logical step in their professional development. Frankly speaking, they look forward to raking some smug characters over the coals, all in the spirit of good, clean fun . . . Just like the original LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM ROAST OF KEVIN HART, as it premiered on TMZ in May! They want to be intentionally funny, not just punchlines, *per se (Dylan Aguilar pun intended). In fact, Chelsea, Adan, and Melissa jump started MultiCon Roast week with a promotional TMZ Hollywood Brunch Bus Tour last Sunday, and it was a blast."

“There’s a reason LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM means so much to so many of us,” says Michael Tessler, CEO of Multihouse and creator of MultiCon. “It’s a show about showing up as yourself and finding people who love you for it, about patience, honesty, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need to be edited into something it’s not. This cast has spent years showing audiences what authentic connection looks like, on screen and off. Having them at MultiCon, a con with a cause, felt like the most natural pairing we could ask for.”

The newly-announced LOTS players join an already impressive lineup that includes Rob Liefeld, Scott M. Gimple, Craig Bartlett, Matt Yang King, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Daniel Logan, Zeno Robinson, Jonah Scott, Juju Green aka Straw Hat Goofy, the cast of Reel Rejects, and many more, with additional celebrity announcements and surprise appearances.

Created as a response to the devastating 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, MultiCon’s first incarnation manifested in just 30 days and raised more than $100,000 for Altadena and Pacific Palisades recovery efforts. The event has since evolved into the first fan convention built around social impact, thereby demonstrating that passionate fan communities create meaningful, real-world change.

MultiCon is possible with generous contributions from major sponsors iThinkHuman, Lucid Trading, and ThrillJoy. Tickets available now at www.MultiConLA.com.
