I should have posted about this earlier, but that kind of responsible behavior just isn’t my thing. I have two excellent shows coming up. By that I mean two shows on which I will be me, for whatever that is worth, but I will be surrounded by excellent comedians so even if you aren’t all that interested in seeing me, seeing them will be worthwhile.
Also, I really need to tape myself at one or (preferably) both of these shows. If you can help me out by lending me a digital camera or taping me, I would be most appreciative. I’d buy you a drink, at least.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 17
8:00 PM: Lolita - Broome @ Allen [Free!]
The Tell Your Friends show is already jumping. Daily News and Time Out have both featured the show as a pick of the week. In addition to the host, Baron Vaughn, this week’s show features three comics with substantial TV credits: Liam McEneaney, Nick Kroll and Eugene Mirman.
Nick Kroll hosts Welcome to Our Week at Rififi on Thursday nights (with Jessi Klein). Eugene Mirman hosts Invite Them Up at Rififi on Wednesday nights (with Bobby Tisdale). Both are shows that I very much want to be on, so I guess I should do a good job on Monday, huh?
More details here, including more credits for my fellow cast members than I care to list. Click through, because my “credits” are both true (sort of) and hilarious compared to the credits of my showmates.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20
9:00 PM: Telephone Bar - 2d Ave. between 9th & 10th [$1 cover]
The cover charge at Telephone Bar is $1 and they always pack the place - and then share the door with the comics and give me a free drink. It is a great room and I’m always happy to be invited back. A very good cast here as well this week.
Matt Goldich is going to be on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend this year and Nic Novicki has a recurring character on SNL. Molly Reisner has no particular credits that I know of, but she is worth watching also.
More details here.
Hope to see you at one of these shows.
