YouTube's most popular content creators are going offline -- for an evening of musical acts, comedy sketches and screenings.
Dubbed YouTube Live, the one-night only showcase will feature performances by rapper Soulja Boy, Sarah Palin-spoofing vlogger LisaNova, masked martial artist Ask A Ninja and Discovery Channel's MythBusters, among others.
The Google-owned company will host the event on Nov. 22 at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco.
For fans unable to make the trek to California, YouTube promises the entire two-hour event will stream live and in real time.
Since its launch, the popular video site has only supported pre-recorded content.
But with competitive video portals like Hulu experimenting with streaming broadcasts, some tech bloggers are speculating that the event is a stealthy way to test-drive new capabilities for the site and may even result in an announcement during the evenings festivities.
