After a far too long hiatus in town, Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle’s The New Negroes (hopefully their Comedy Central series of the same name will premiere soon this year as well) is back! More brilliant wordplay, rapping, stand-up, and more are thankfully on the horizon from Vaughn and Mike.

So, this first 2019 edition of New Negroes will happen at at The Virgil on Sun., Jan. 27th at 7:30PM (and happen every 4th Sunday of the month going forward). The line-up, of course, is pretty grand with:

Sasheer Zamata
Langston Kerman
Janelle James
Yusuf Ali
Katrina Davis
Troy Walker

So, go get your tickets in advance for $7 here (or you can chance paying $10 at the door-cash only)

‘Tis the spooky season and that means that the annual comedians-donning-a-costume-of-another-comedian-for-a-giant-show is coming soon!

Schtick or Treat (presented by Mark Normand and Matt Ruby), now in its 11th year, is back at the Virgil on Sunday, Oct. 28th at 7PM with wonderful hosts Jason Saenz and Nick Turner. As we said, your favorite comedians around town (and around the country) will dress up and perform as famous comedians, dead or alive. It’s always a blast (even that one year where an entire back table dressed up as ghosts and kept saying “boo” the whole time).

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 cash at door. Get them in advance here!

Here’s an opportunity to take a break from speaking out at actual town halls and enjoy a fake “American Town Hall” next week where all you need to do is laugh at “citizen speakers” from Newport, RI.

It’s $5 at the door and the ticket sales go to ACLU, so you’re still doing a good thing by going.
