I post about stand-up comedy and during the Edinburgh Fringe I try to help people find interesting shows. www.fringemonkey.net

Tonight's comedy performance space. I'm assuming we can all agree that it's perfectly set up for standup. [Aside: Go Islanders!]* *This reference solely for Richard Brown.

Mark Silcox (Gold Trading Sucks): How to introduce MS? He presents an ineptly-produced PowerPoint lecture on how to live your life in a monotone. There will be at least 2 tediously-long video clips. He will finish by meditating for 5 mins. There will be no jokes. This is how cults start. FF. 3/5

That didn't take long.

The scaffolding is down but the Comedy Cellar's biggest venue (200 seats) is still a couple of months from opening. Not the prettiest of new builds but they'll probably put a snazzy sign up.

Might have found NYC's worst comedy club. Cheap plastic chairs, like you'd find in a shit Free Fringe venue on the Cowgate, spaced with no thought for the punter.

Entirely on brand, I turned up for a European comedy show and no other fecker did, so it was cancelled. It's a spectacular entrance tho.

New York Comedy Cellar's newest, biggest venue is certainly progressing but still has some way to go. Apparently scheduled for January, it will be a single performance space with a mezzanine.

Called in briefly to NYC's famous Comic Strip Live comedy club and noticed these two aspiring boy band members on the wall.

Think I probably got my $15 plus booking fee from this Stuart Laws, Chloe Radcliffe and Craig somebody gig.

Hey Steve, what you up to? Well...I'm at a free comedy night in a tattoo parlour in Brooklyn. You disgust me Steve. Did I mention that they let me sit in the big cushioned chair? Still really bad Steve. Worse actually.

Tonight's comedy venue. Entirely on brand for me.

This is the baffling entry for a New York comedy club on Groupon. I like that they provide ALL the drink types.
