August 15, 2023

nyc comedy, palladium times square, sketch comedy, the state

Legendary (and yes, it’s appropriate here) sketch group, The State, comprised, for this night, of Ken Marino, David Wain, Kerri Kenney, Joe Lo Truglio, Michael Ian Black, Kevin Allison, and Michael Patrick Jann are getting back together for an exclusive tour (that might blossom into something bigger maybe with Thomas Lennon, Robert Ben Garant, and Todd Holoubeck?) maturely called Breakin’ Hearts & Dippin’ Balls. The ramifications of The State reassembling are so massive, which is partially why it happens so rarely (that and the fact that each individual member is quite successful on their own comedy path).

Thus far, they’ve only got dates in Denver and NYC lined-up, but that means you kind of should go out of your way to make sure you catch what you can of the Breakin’ Hearts & Dippin’ Balls tour. For New Yorkers, The State will be taking over Palladium Times Square on Oct. 16th & 17th with tickets going on sale this Wed. at 10AM ET/7AM PT (use the code “STATE” for early access) starting at $67.

Set a reminder and go snag those tickets here.

We’ve been lucky in LA to have the likes of silly, yet irrepressibly clever of Babe Motel going up all around town on a regular basis.

Remember when I Survived was the one of the most talked about shows and our current obsession with true crime had only just gotten started? T’was such an innocent time compared to now where people wanted to be captivated about stories of the living, despite the world around them doing everything it can to have them die earlier than they would have liked.

For our money, those stories are still pretty astounding and given a pretty tried and true formula of “fascinating story” + comedy = splendid podcast, NYC comedians Kevin Casey White and Lizzy Cassidy have essentially made a comedy version of I Survived with their podcast Close Calls, which actually makes stories of surviving natural disasters, freak accidents, murderers, and more a more manageable level of terrifying (and all the more entertaining).

They’ll be doing a special live version so you can share in the gasps and guffaws together with a crowd at Brooklyn’s The Gutter this Fri. Aug. 4th at 8PM. Tickets are only $10 and you really ought to go get them here, have yourself a great start to this weekend, and, perhaps, gain a new appreciation for living.

Today brought the sad news of the passing of Paul Reubens, known and beloved by millions as Pee Wee Herman. His iconic performance in Tim Burton’s iconic film debut of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure will live on in cinema history for ages to come as something that was able to put a smile on a face of nearly anyone who watched it, no matter their age (far before Pixar figured out how to do that).

The good folks at Alamo Drafthouse already had a very special run of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure screenings at their NYC theaters (Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island) complete with the one and only legendary bike.

Unsurprisingly, tickets for the Brooklyn and Manhattan screenings are sold out, but there are a literal handful of tickets left for the Staten Island screening on Sat. Aug. 5th at 7PM for $15.50. At the very least, we’re betting the bike will probably be in the lobby for you to admire as well as honor Reubens’ memory.

Never one to disappoint, Alamo Drafthouse made a great little trailer for this very special event:

That said, Raaaatscraps has planted its roots at Caveat and simulcasts their live, in-person performances and have been making Sunday nights an improv in NYC, especially in LES for quite some time now.

One of the most unquestionably funny shows in all of television, What We Do in the Shadows, returns for its fifth season on FX/Hulu starting this Thurs/Fri.
