Top Gun: Maverick just broke box office records (and probably will continue to do so) further encouraging studios to not take on anything original or hear fresh pitches. In fact, if you’re wondering how or when you’d see any new releases that are truly original or out of the box at your local movie theater, there’s not a real great answer for that.

With that in mind, DC’s only comedy secret society, The Midnight Gardeners League, has come up with a show where you’ll get to hear such originality as it’ll showcase great comedians pitching jokes off of their material only to be judged by a “renowned film auteur”. This first NYC outing will feature what we’re sure will be blockbuster movie pitches from a grand line-up of Brittany Carney, Mike Hanford, Clare O’Kane, and Dave Ross.

Mark down Sat. Jun. 11th at 8PM ET to be at Brooklyn’s Cobra Club to hear things that should very likely be greenlit rather than be subjected to more mandatory MCU offerings.

Tickets are $10 and you can (and should) get them here.

The concept of time remains illusory as the pandemic continues, but, that’s still no excuse to not celebrate the anniversary of something, especially if it’s something forged out of the limitations thrust upon us by COVID-19.

Self Care Comedy is and has been the premier, virtual stand-up comedy showcase whether cases numbers were down or Delta and Omicron had arrived. This Tuesday, February 1st, Naked Comedy/Sam Varela will mark 1 year of being there for everyone who wanted to or had to stay in, for any reason, and give them a much needed relief in the form of virtual comedy from some of the absolute funniest people in comedy today.

To that point, joining Self-Care Comedy to mark their 1 year anniversary will be the beautiful comedy talents of Lizzy Cooperman, Brodie Reed, Max & Nicky, and Mike Hanford with host Sean Keane presiding over the evening’s festivities on Feb. 1st 7PM PT/10PM ET. As always, admission is free, but donations are encouraged as they will go directly to the comics performing. RSVP and donate here.

It has been a minute (well, more than a few minutes actually) since The Super Serious Show graced us with their presence at The Virgil.

Thankfully, one of our favorite all-star comedy variety showcases is back in town from a jaunt across the pond with another wondrous line-up for June 20th.

Tickets are $7 in adv., $10 at door and you can and very much should get them here.
