Pick of the Day: One Star New York (in NYC) 1/3

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.

Pick of the Day: Jeoparty! (in NYC) 10/13

At this point in time, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to have Will Ferrell reprise his rendition of the late, great Alex Trebek to fill in for the vacant slot to host Jeopardy! (seems like Mayim Bialik wants to be the permanent replacement?). So, that means that a whole row of comedians won’t be the contestants on our personal dream version of the show.

There’s still hope, however, as Brooklyn’s littlefield is doing their very own all-comedians spin on the trivia game show institution called Jeoparty! with Ophira Eisenberg next month. It’ll be even more ridiculous than SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy if you can imagine. For this go around of Jeoparty!, NYC comedy’s best and brightest in Josh Gondelman, Shalewa Sharpe, and Michael Kosta will be joining in.

Jeoparty! is set for Wed. Oct. 13th at 8PM ET. For $10, here: Where can you get tickets?

Even at the very start of lockdown, we had the idea that whenever in person shows could happen again that live-streaming them simultaneously would probably be the way forward.

Well, it looks like that is going to actually become more of a thing as a good deal of Littlefield NYC’s shows will have very limited capacity and also live-stream the show from the venue for a nice price, so the rest of the world (and definitely more folks than the venue can hold) can tune in.

So, one such show is that you can try this out with is the beloved NYC favorite SH*TSHOW, hosted by Ophira Eisenberg and Emily Flake. They’re back at it with a splendid NYC line-up of Shalewa Sharpe, Gastor Lamonte, Jessica Delfino, and Kendra Cunningham and you don’t have to be in Brooklyn, at Littlefield, in-person to watch. You can just pay $5 and get a live-stream link for the show, but witness it like it was something that you were actually at.

SH*TSHOW: F*ck It Edition goes live on Fri. Apr. 30th at 4:30PM PT/7:30PM ET and you can (and should) go get tickets here.

Jackie Kashian and Laurie Kilmartin have consistently been two of our favorite comedians (if you’ve followed TCB over the years, you probably know this) over the years and The Jackie and Laurie Show has been consistently one of our favorite podcasts on top of being one of the best podcasts about actually doing comedy that has ever existed.

By now, thanks to some viral posts and memes, you’ve probably heard of the general concept of a doppelgänger.

Yet, have you seen, or even heard a case of real life doppelgänger? We’re going to bet probably not (or if you have, it’s probably a stretch).

In any case, you should catch the doppelgänger voices of comedians Jackie Kashian and Ophira Eisenberg this week co-doing this “Vocal Doppelgänger” show at Nerdmelt.

Get your tickets here.
