Once upon a time, the late comedy legend Rodney Dangerfield had his very own comedy spot, the eponymous Dangerfield’s. Located on the outer edges of Midtown Manhattan. For the longest time, the place has been collecting dust (and, almost as a bit, there was a “Dangerfield’s 2” out here in LA that was technically run out of someone’s apartment).

Well, nearing the sunset of 2023, a new era for Dangerfield’s is coming; the arrival of what will now be called Rodney’s Comedy Club. Same location, but all spiffed up not unlike Rodney himself. In fact, they’ll be having their Grand Opening show on Christmas Eve this Sunday at 8:30PM.

NYC comedy heavyweights Usama Siddiquee, Harrison Greenbaum, Che Durena, and Eman El-Husseini will be kicking things off for what will double as a grand opening and a Peace in the Upper East ! A Jewish and Muslim Christmas Eve Comedy Show. If you’re in NYC, it might be worth altering your Christmas Eve plans; just sayin’.

Tickets for Rodney’s Comedy Club Grand Opening/Peace in the Upper East ! A Jewish and Muslim Christmas Eve Comedy Show are $20 (plus two drink min.). Go get them here!

Pick of the Day: LET’S MAKE A POOP FEAT. TRIUMPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG (NYCF) 11/6

Many things will endure in the collective memories of Gen-Xers and Millennial fans of Conan O’Brien and one of the most unforgettable of those things would be the Robert Smigel creation that is Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. A grandmaster of the man-on-the-street style of interview, Smigel’s dog puppet covered hand and his vaguely European gravel-y accent and some of the sickest burns and a constantly dropped cigar made an indelible impression in the world of late night and still lives on in laughs when remembering things like Triumph hanging with Star Wars fans or going to any political convention.

So, it shouldn’t go without saying that a very special New York Comedy Festival evening with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog lined up for Nov. 6th at 8PM at the Murmrr Theatre should be an immediate buy. Take care of that at $31.14 a pop here.

Pick of the Day: Ben Wasserman’s Live After Death: Greenwood Cemetery (in NYC) 10/26

Ben Wasserman, brooklyn, live after death, nyc

OK OK, we know have told you plenty of times about Ben Wasserman’s brilliant, absurd, joyful, tear-filled, but altogether beautiful experimental solo comedy/grief show Live After Death. Wasserman has earned every word of praise to be sure.

That said, we’d like to highlight that Ben is closing off this latest run of Live After Death in the historic Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. First off, it’s a gigantic, centuries-old cemetery that’s one of the most interesting sites in all of Brooklyn (which is saying something). Secondly, Ben has played many a funeral home/mortuary service with his very unique show, but playing Live After Death in one of America’s most historic cemeteries is a whole other thing entirely and sure to be a very, very, very special edition of the show (even if you’ve seen the show already multiple times). It’s worth the $50 ticket to be sure.

These final (for now?) performances of Live After Death are set for Thurs. Oct. 26th at 7PM & 9:15PM and you really ought to buy a cheaper Halloween costume so you can get tickets to this. Do so here.

Justice John Hodgman has always stood for the people where other courts, whether government sanctioned or simply on daytime television, fall short. This Summer, the Honorable Justice John Hodgman is coming to the people more than he ever has with a big live episode at NYC’s venerable Lincoln Center.

The problems that are very valid, but other lawyers and legal professionals would deem to banal for a courtroom will be heard by Hodgman and his bailiff Jesse Thorn on Wed. Jun. 29th at 8PM ET. Best of all, this show is completely FREE to attend (a true treat when it comes to being at the Lincoln Center). You can just show up or snag one of a limited amount of advance reservations.

Also, if you would like the chance to have your day in Hodgman’s court and solve that nagging problem that all your friends don’t want to hear about anymore in front of big NYC live audience, submit your claim here.

As the world opens up yet again (and we sincerely hope it sticks this time around), many folks are re-acclimatizing themselves to the thing that so many of us took for granted, talking to one another. In this reboot of our conversational and empathy skills, we hope that we’ll be better this time around.

In that spirit, you should watch and enjoy the upcoming conversation between brilliant comedian Hari Kondabolu and writer Wajahat Ali about Ali’s book GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM: AND OTHER HELPFUL RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO BECOME AMERICAN. They’ll have an earnest and blunt chat about being more inclusive and accepting of brown folks of all kinds here in America.

GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM! with Wajahat Ali and Hari Kondabolu is set to go live and in person on Wed. Feb. 23rd at The Bell House in Brooklyn at 7:30PM ET. Tickets are $15 right now and you can (and should) go get them here.

Hasan Minhaj’s stellar comedy special Homecoming King came out in 2017 on Netflix, which is awhile ago, but feels even longer for the seemingly interminable amount of time that has made up the last two years. Since that time, Minhaj made his presence known through his very own topical late night comedy show Patriot Act (we’ll always think that was a horrible call on Netflix’s part to cancel it) and then got a key role in the second season of The Morning Show. Oh yeah, he just launched his very own production company 186K Films and is building his own entertainment empire.

We’re thankful that doing stand-up/storytelling on stage is still part of that ascent as Minhaj is currently on tour with his brand new hour The King’s Jester. He’s touring throughout the country, but will specifically be stopping by Radio City Music Hall in NYC from Feb. 25th-27th (tickets for 25th still available) and coming around LA via Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa on Apr. 24th and Thousand Oaks’ Bank of America Performing Arts Center on Apr. 26th.

Tickets start around $45 and go up from there. You really ought to get them sooner rather than later, especially if you wanna snag ones at that price. Get tickets for all the aforementioned dates at hasanminhaj.com.

You’ve seen her and been charmed by her take downs of Colin Jost and her wild characters on SNL for weeks now and, we hope like us, that one Sarah Squirm AKA Sarah Sherman has captured your veiny, throbbing, heart.

As her time is currently dedicated to Saturday Night Live, there might not be so much time where you can catch Sarah throw one of her spectacular body-horror-comedy extravaganzas centered around much of her stand-up and DIY multi-disciplinary art. You should really take any chance that you possibly can to catch her and whatever the hell she has up her beautiful patchwork-sewn or hand-painted sleeve.

Sarah will be Live + In the Flesh at NYC’s TV Eye on Fri. Feb 11th for an early 8PM ET & late 10:30PM show. Currently, tickets are sold out, but watch @sarahsquirm on socials closely as there could be tickets released or there be a stand-by line or even another show or shows added.

We might have told you before (and we will definitely tell you again in our best 100 year end list) that Dylan Adler is one of the funniest people that we got to see for the very first time in 2021. His vulnerable, personal, dark, physical (and often musical) comedy had us doubled over when we first saw it on a rooftop in DTLA earlier this year and it’s imperative to us that you go catch Dylan wherever he’s playing. Thankfully, for New Yorkers, that’s all over town all the time (and perhaps in LA in January).

Adler is actually doing his very own full length show that is a treat that no one in around the NYC’s LES should miss. Hit That Track will have Dylan headline Caveat on Feb. 18th at 7PM ET (so, hopefully that’s far enough from the reaches of this recent COVID-19 surge) and tickets are only $15.

Go get them right here right now and enjoy looking forward to something in mid February rather than worry about Valentine’s Day.

caveat, emily winter, lindsay boling, martin urbano, new york moments, nyc, nyc comedy, ophira eisenberg, storytelling

Welp, left, right, and center, comedy shows right now in NYC are getting postponed and cancelled because of the Omicron surge of COVID-19. So, we’ll just have to look past the holidays for something that is, as of this moment, still on the books and will still be a damn good time.

With that in mind, we’d like to highlight Back Fat Variety’s One Star New York, a show that celebrates the worst of NYC as told by some of its best funny people. We’ve always thought of NYC as a place that requires Stockholm Syndrome to live there and it looks like this show revels in that notion.

Expressing their love for the Big Apple through their worst recollections of it will be the lovely collection of Ophira Eisenberg, Martin Urbano, Linsday Boling, and host Emily Winter. One Star New York will be taking place at Caveat where vaccination and masks are thankfully required on Mon Jan. 3rd at 7PM ET. Tickets are $15 right now and you ought to get them here.

In LA, pretty much all of Hannah Einbinder‘s headlining dates have sold out. You might get a chance to see her here and there on a plethora of shows here and there, but you won’t get to bare witness to the full breadth of full length set, unless you snagged a ticket for one of her Dynasty Typewriter dates, for awhile (probably in October).

That said, if you’re in NYC, you still have a shot at catching the late show of Hannah Einbinder’s evening at The Bell House on Fri. Nov. 5th. Already, the 7:30PM ET show has sold out, but you can still get tickets for the 10PM ET show at $20 a pop. Please don’t miss your chance to see Hannah live, who will be such a delightful conceptual, yet still very personal comedy surprise for all of you whether you’ve seen her on Hacks or not.

Often in LA, we’re lucky to get treated to the wild, dark, and hysterical comedy musings and stories of Byron Bowers. He has been a beloved fixture in the scene for as long as we have seen him in and throughout LA.

Bowers often has a knack for lulling people into his sharp comedic turns and really diving deep into his material and expanding his bits to their fullest potential. We got to see Byron run this particular hour and we didn’t even realize that he had actually gone well over an hour by the end of it (as a testament to how captivating his presence and command of the stage really is).

So, Byron is bringing his Byron Bowers Experience to The Stand in NYC on July 20th at 9:30PM ET with Josh Adam Meyers opening. Tickets are going for $20 (plus $5 service fee). Go get them here right now.

Gastor Almonte’s New Album/Special “Immigrant Made” Is a Beautiful Collection of Stories That Highlight the Importance of Immigrants in America

A lot of people have a lot of very different, very hardline opinions about immigration these days. We hope that they do remember that the majority of the country are immigrants and that the immigrant experience is integral to the fabric of the mighty U.S. of A.

East Brooklyn’s Gastor Almonte takes pride in his parents emigrating to this country and relishes that he is the fruit of the seeds that his mother and father planted. Of course, that fruit is the freedom to make an entire comedy special about that very notion and Almonte does it with wonderful poise throughout a collection of carefully constructed long form stories on Immigrant Made. Though straight forward and subtle in his delivery, Almonte observations about his world and his place in it are simultaneously funny and full of genuine heart.

Get a taste of all of that here in the trailer.

You can get in on Immigrant Made now where you listen to comedy albums and stream it on Amazon. Do so here.

Comedy Cellar to Open a Location in Las Vegas

The venerable NYC comedy club known as The Comedy Cellar is opening up a location out West, specifically at The Rio in Las Vegas at the beginning of April.

“.@NYCComedyCellar will open its first West Coast location at @RioVegas April 5. The intimate 300-seat club “will be just like coming to the New York Comedy Cellar,” said club owner Noam Dworman.”

–@7starsinsider

We’ll be curious to see how this plays out, specifically with where they’ll draw the majority of the comics from, how Vegas comics will factor in, and how close they get to being like original Comedy Cellar.

Abbi Jacobson To Host a New Podcast, “A Piece of Work”, That Has Jacobson Break Down Art with Guests

In addition to being the Abbi from Broad City that you know and love, Abbi Jacobson has made plenty of her own milestones in the art world with a degree in art school and getting her own illustrated books published.

Now, Abbi will act as a bridge from the art world to the general public with a new podcast series in collaboration from WNYC and MoMA. Called A Piece of Work, Abbi will focus on specific art movements and have on big time guests that come from both the art world and Tinseltown.

It’s only going for 10 episodes, but we would imagine it could much longer if Abbi’s up for it. Look for the episodes to start dropping on Monday, July 10th.

The UCB 4 to Reunite for Performance at Carnegie Hall, Becoming One of the Few Improv Teams/Troupes to Ever Play The World Renowned Venue

For a very long time, playing NYC’s Carnegie Hall as a comedian was an unquestioned achievement in comedy of the highest order. As is, playing Carnegie Hall is an incredibly rare feat no matter what your artistic discipline might be.

Still, mostly comedians that play Carnegie Hall are stand-up comedians. We looked through the list of past performers, we found that the only other instance of improv was Drew Carey doing night with some Whose Line Is It Anyway? folks like Jeff B. Davis and Greg Proops for the New York Comedy Festival. The Firesign Theatre, which only had an improvised feel, also performed there several decades ago.

So, Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts, and Matt Besser, often referred to as The UCB 4, will be kicking off 2018′s Del Close Marathon performing together once again and simultaneously being one of the only groups to do their version of long form improv on such a hallowed stage.

With that in mind, you better keep a close eye on tickets going on sale if you want to go.
