NYC Comedy on Thursday Night

Last March, I got together with a few of my comedian friends to set up a show where we could get get audition tapes made. Remember? It was a qualified  success - full house, great sets, awsome time - but I remain decidedly not famous. Possibly because last year I was rocking back and forth like I was davening.

Anyway, like I said, we are doing it again, with less bobbing and weaving:

Thursday, May 10 at 8PM
Mo Pitkin's - 34 Avenue A between 2d St. and 3d St.
Only $5!

Hosted by: Tony Camin (Comedy Central, The Marijuana-logues)
Featuring:
Charles Star - Onion Network News contributor and, of course, Stay Free!
Rachael Parenta
Adrienne Iapalucci
Claudia Cogan - Fake Gay News
Headliner: Pete Holmes (VH1's Best Week Ever, Comedy Central)

I hope some of you can make it out.

Longer bios of the host and headliner below the fold.

Our headliner is the hilarious Pete Holmes. Pete Holmes is on VH1's Best Week Ever, was on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, is a favorite at CollegeHumor.com and is the host of periodic late-night open mic Gut Bucket at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Also, we play poker together sometimes. Some of those links have clips, if you want a preview.

The whole thing is hosted by Tony Camin, who has also been on Premium Blend, is one of the co-writers of hit play The Marijuana-logues, and is the co-host of the live talk show Broin' Out at UCB. If you haven't been following the links, you can see another clip of him here.
