One of our favorite comedians, Liam McEneaney, is going on tour of Europe soon. To kick it off, he's having a big show next Monday night 10/29  (not to be confused with his popular regular Monday night show, Tell Your Friends, which you can see at Lolita tonight, info at the link above.)

Next week's show will feature Liam along with Leo Allen, The Hazzards, The Daily Show's John Oliver, The Onion's Todd Hanson, and more. Info here: London Calling with Liam McEneaney.

The first issue of "the comedians", a new print magazine focusing on New York's vibrant comedy scene, is now available for subscription (or to buy at the Drama Bookshop in Times Square.) The first issue features an in-depth interview with one of our favorite comedians (and contributors), Liam McEneaney.

More info here.

If you've ever harbored a deep-seated desire to see alt-comic and Daily Show correspondent Demetri Martin perform live in a crowded little Lower East Side basement, Oh Man! Is this the opportunity for you!

Demetri will be performing alongside The Onion's head writer, Todd Hanson, at the Lolita bar in Manhattan on Monday, February 5th, 8pm. And it's FREE.

Other performers include Chris DeLuca, Liam McEneaney, DC Benny, Bobby Tisdale & Brooke Van Poppelen.

Here's a clip from Demetri's Comedy Central special, 'Demetri Martin. Person.'

With Thanksgiving dinner now an unpleasant memory and the spectre of Christmas (or Hanukkah, if you hate Jesus) looming inauspiciously a few weeks ahead, we have entered the Dark Zone, otherwise known as the Holiday Season. Naught but the faintest twinklings of hope will be made available for your ailing soul as you trudge through day after interminable day of the foulest temperments of men (or women, if you hate penises) in this most unkind month. Will there be any respite from the horror of Holiday Cheer?

Yes! Tonight (8pm, FREE), as if to remind us that all is not despair, a coalition of brave comedians and performers are gathering at Lolita Bar on the Lower East Side in Manhattan for the weekly event Tell Your Friends! and to remind us that yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, but he can be taken down with use of some sort of surface to air missile.

Expect to see...

Tom Shillue

(Comedian Liam McEneaney has been sharing the secrets of comedy with us here all week. You can read more Liam on his daily blog, and find out about where to see his shows (including his weekly free show in NYC, Tell Your Friends), here.)

Before I leave, why not come check out my show in Manhattan this upcoming Monday.

And with that, my imaginary Internet friends – it’s time that we must part, must go our separate ways. Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air: and, like the baseless fabric of this vision - the cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve and, like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.   

In other words:  I MADE BROWN!
