One of the marvels of Anna Seregina and her comedy is that it is simultaneously ethereal and lofty, but undeniably farcical at the same very moment in spacetime. Seregina freely floats in between meta layers of bits and even of herself, but the silliness she embodies keeps the fun accessible to those who might initially seek out comedy at its fringes.

It’s this notion that should lead you to Seregina performing her “tour” of herself, A Tour of Anna directed by the splendid Mitra Jouhari more specfically, at the New York Comedy Festival next Sat. Nov. 11th at 5PM at Union Hall with beloved NYC comedy raconteur Dave Hill opening.

“Tour” tickets are only $15.64 and you really ought to go get them here right now.

Pick of the Day: NYCF-Million Dollar Roasting 11/13

The New York Comedy Festival is coming to a close this Sunday, but that leaves three days that are still absolutely jam packed with comedy that you absolutely shouldn’t miss across all of NYC.

In fact, on Sunday, at The Stand, we’d wager that you would very much get a kick out of some of the busiest and most booked of the NYC comedy scene (including one of SNL’s latest hires) roasting million dollar real estate. Called Million Dollar Roasting, Hanna Dickinson will lead Devon Walker, Kerryn Feehan, Lil Frex, and other special guests to go through Zillow listings that start at $10 million dollars. It can be hard to stick it to the 1%, but making fun of what sort of property they waste their money on can be a lot of fun.

Million Dollar Roasting is set for this Sun. Nov. 13th, the final day of NYCF, at 7PM at The Stand. Tickets are $25 and you can (and should) go get ’em here.

The New York Comedy Festival is well underway right now and there is literally dozens and dozens of things worth dashing to and fro from between all five boroughs. Showcases, solo shows, podcasts, and more fill the entire schedule for NYC’s annual big comedy bash.

There are also hour long tapings that are done at the festival, capitalizing on the extra excitement in the air for the week, that are the sort of special thing that you don’t want to miss. Last year, David Cross taped his latest special and, this year, both Liz Glazer and Luke Mones will be taping their albums. Glazer and Mones have both worked their way to becoming favorites in the NYC comedy scene for their warmth and very keen and crisp writing.

Liz will be doing her taping at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective on Thurs. Nov. 10th at 7PM & 9PM and Luke will be doing his a nice jaunt from there at The Gutter in Brooklyn on Fri. Nov. 11th at 7:30PM & 9:30PM. You have two chances to catch both of them and we highly suggest that you don’t waste of any of them (especially since they don’t overlap).

Pick of the Day: Without A Country: Live Midterm Election Watch-Along (in NYC) 11/8

First and foremost, if you haven’t voted yet, definitely go vote already.

After that, you’re probably a little on edge on how things are going to go and, thus, it might be helpful to see the returns and the results with live color commentary from a comedian.

The New York Comedy Festival has that very thing with Guys We F*cked’s very own Corinne Fisher doing an election watch-along featuring NYC staples Kate Willett and Robbie Bernstein. Rather than have a disconcerted inner dialogue with whatever is going to happen, leave it to some of NYC comedy finest to be the sugar for whatever medicine (or poison) we have to take.

Without A Country: Live Midterm Election Watch-Along with Corinne Fisher is set for tomorrow, Tues. Nov. 8th starting at 7PM at the Doped Up Comedy Club in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Tickets are $17.74 and you can (and should) go get them here.
