The ECNY Nominations Are Out!
While everyone has been busy caring about the Grammys, the Emmys and the Oscars (just kidding, no one cares about the Grammys), we've been busy following the ECNYs, an awards show for local New York comedians. There are a ton of my personal favorites nominated this year, so I'm pretty excited.
The actual awards show will be held at Comix on March 8 at 8 pm. It's a pretty fun show where people get drunk and then win awards and then get more drunk. Anyway, here are the actual nominations…
