With movie theater going back as much as it’s probably going to be, it’d be really great to have MST3K style screenings where cinema oddities get screened with a select panel of great comedy folks riffing every which way they can throughout the whole running time.

Nitehawk Cinema will have a dream of such an event, Shouting at the Screen, with an incomparable duo of Wyatt Cenac and Donwill diving back into the 70s Blaxpolitation filmography and providing a hysterical 2023 lens to “an important bygone era of black independent cinema”.

This first show is set for Nitehawk Cinema in Prospect Park in Brooklyn on Thurs. Jan. 19th at 9:15PM. Tickets are $17.50 and you really ought to get them here.

The Omicron edition of COVID-19 really threw a wrench at 100 mph into everything all of us had going in 2021 to really ruin the start of 2022. Nearly every live comedy show that was already back or had planned to be back in that time took another break out of an abundance of caution.

Thankfully, case numbers and hospitalizations have trended down enough that, fingers crossed, things are coming back and that includes some of the best weekly comedy shows that we rely on for our weekly evening shot of community oriented dopamine. Namely, Butterboy with Aparna Nancherla, Maeve Higgins, and Jo Firestone @ Littlefield in Brooklyn, NYC and Good Heroin @ Stories in Echo Park, LA are returning next week and we can only hope that this return sticks.

Specifically Butterboy is posting up back at Littlefield for your favorite Monday night of comedy in NYC at 8PM ET on Feb. 7th and Good Heroin is taking over the back patio at Stories on Feb. 14th at 8PM PT.

You can get your $10 advance tickets for Butterboy here and have some spare bucks to donate for Good Heroin (or enjoy the show for FREE if inflation is getting the best of you).
