Throughout quarantine, one Martin Urbano found that he had a knack for hosting offbeat, darkly comedic game shows. Who Wants $2.69? was born out of a need to do comedy virtually, but that was something outside of stand-up, Urbano’s usual bread and butter. The perfectly named game show found quite the fan base through streaming weekly on Chris Gethard’s virtual comedy community Planet Scum and even had some live shows a couple of years ago.
Urbano has gotten back into the thick of stand-up since everything has reopened, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up his impeccable skills as a game show host with a cheeky title. He is doing yet another game show with ironically “problematic trivia” that has a grand prize of $69 called Why Would You Ask Me That? with Martin Urbano. It should be a rollicking night of awkward answers from NYC comedy’s finest including Ariel Elias, Brittany Carney, Chris Gethard, Kenice Mobley, Steven Castillo, and even someone from the crowd in attendance.
Why Would You Ask Me That? is set for Wed. May 31st at 8PM at Littlefield and tickets are $15.54. Best go get them here.
