Comedy TonightBecause the gigs clock on the front page remains bollixed, I’m just going to start posting info about shows as they come up. The clock is right when you click through to the full calendar, so feel free to do so for more information.
(UPDATE: I am told that some people still get the wrong time on the main calendar page. *sigh* I’m not sure what I can do. Just trust what I write in the main blog. I don’t know why I worry; this site isn’t pulling any audience in anyway.)
For instance, tonight at 8:30 I am going to be in Comedy Social at Sin Sin Lounge on the corner of 2d Ave. and 5th St. Later, I will be in the 10:30 Morrison Motel show at the Village Lantern on Bleecker St. (@ Thompson). I know that I am going on early at the Social and late at the Lantern, if that is any kind of a guide for you.
I am duty bound to tell you that there is a better show to be seen and it is for a better cause. Tommy Amado - the host of the excellent Friday night Brooklyn Buffoonery show at the Village 247 in Cobble Hill - has put together a benefit for Kevin Knox, a Boston comic who has come down with cancer. He has a great lineup including Christian Finnegan, Bill Burr, DC Benny, Eddie Ifft and Geno Bisconte.
The benefit is at Boston Comedy Club, 82 West 3rd Street between Thompson & Sullivan. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Call (917) 856-8700 to buy tickets or (212) 477-1000 to reserve them. (I admit that I’m not sure why there are separate numbers for purchase and reservation.)
