Location: The Molly Wee Pub (in Chelsea)
Total Party Count: 54
Last week I went with a bunch of friends to Upright Citizen's Brigade to catch the weekly comedy show Whiplash - Monday nights at 11 hosted by Leo Allen-- Its kind of the best!
You know the funny thing about comedians? Answer: Just their routines. I don't want to shatter your world, but your favorite comedian is likely not funny in real life, and also really weird, and probably even a douche. Even though it may seem like, say, Eugene Mirman would be the best nicest coolest awesomest guy ever to hang out with, he's actually not (he dissed me much harder, don't feel bad). Bottom line- your regular friends are way more funny than most "comedians"-- and possibly "comedy writers" too (still working to confirm this-- anyone?). Yet despite all, when the prospect of the Whiplash Comedy After-Party presented itself, there was no turning back!
Apparently NYC's comedy scene hangs out after shows at "The Molly Wee Pub,"or "The Molly" as they affectionately refer to it. I was in molesting distance of Sarah Silverman, Colin Quinn, Leo Allen, Todd Barry, The Sklar Brothers, and some other comedians. If you didn't read the first paragraph you might think that this bar was full of jokes and laughter, maybe people punk'n each other, some pies in faces, banana peels and fake mustaches, but it was more like a casual business meeting.
The funny table! birthday girl francesca, me, jay ruttenberg, kev ped, and whiplash's awesome jeremy levenbach.
Me at The Molly!! I met Mindy Tucker and she took this photo.... she seems to be the official photographer of comedy and she's pretty amazing at what she does!
AGREED ABOUT COMEDIANS.
ReplyDeleteTRAGEDY IS WHAT SPAWNS MOST PEOPLE INTO COMEDY SO THEREFORE THEY ARE USUALLY MISERABLE AND SUPER BORING/ASPERGER-Y (WITH NO SENSE OF STYLE).
HAVE A NICE DAY!
