Comedy is out of hand!

I know that many of you are internationals and probably disinterested in live show information...however, to be honest that's what's on my mind.

There are some exciting shows coming up and I gotta tell you a little bit about them.

(First off, the opening at the New Museum was intense and crazy and thank you to all who came new faces and old.)

Okay so this FRIDAY NIGHT, APRIL 28TH at 8PM at Juvie Hall is a brand new show (This'n'More) I'm doing with friend and fellow blogger Michelle Collins. You can now check out our page on the Juvie Hall site...

You gotta love Michelle's photoshopping skillz!!

But don't complement her, I think she's getting a big head.

We're screening America We Stand As One to kick off the show, so we can all share an instant American classic in our living, breathing hearts.

Joining us are a group of very funny, entertaining comedy people--a really cool line-up. You got Adam Wade, blogger extraordinare and all around good man. We became friends through blogging and IM and then I went to Hoboken (where he lives) to try his favorite sandwich. We show our short film about this for the first time ever tonight: "The Italian Tuna Adventure" (you're going to take this film's virginity, so please go gentle and hold it's hand before you rip into it with a frightening vengeance). Wade is also a great documentarian--did a doc about a guy who worked at his local deli that really blew me away.

Why am I so positive lately? Is it disgusting everyone? Don't tell me I don't want to crash down from this sunny perch. But please note I am aware of the "grating happiness" problem and am sure it will be resolved soon enough through one of life's many spontaneous tragedies!

Then you got Aziz Ansari who's funny and blogs and always seems to write new stuff for shows and has a unique, young energy and perspective. And AD Miles: online addict, funny, accomplished performer, husband of Amy Miles (of track 12 fame). He's doing all kinds of cool comedy/tv stuff now, so his intro at the show will take 15-20 minutes (sit tight pls.). You may also remember that he can't cook a burger to save his fucking life. Jkjk. Good on a grill. And finally, a couple of my favorites Ahna Tessler and Lauren Engel will be performing. These two do stuff like nobody else. They also don't have a website, but work/write together and do sketches and characters that are very, very unique and smart but also c.r.a.z.y. and energetic.

Great writing here, throughout, Chelsea. Hey! Couldya do me a favor and say "great" or "very" , "cool" or even "energy" a few thousand more times, because I like the way how these words convey a clear and specific meaning to the reader who is skimming this. Thanks Chels for that!

Also: Almost everyone on the show is incredibly hot.

TUESDAY, MAY 3, 8PM at GALAPAGOS is the monthly comedy/music/film show VARIETY SHAC. The core of this show is me, Andrea Rosen, Heather Lawless, and Shonali Bhowmik (of Tigers and Monkeys) and we usually have 2 guests (this Tues: Jill Pangallo and Tiny Heart). I think this is our 6th show? It has been insanely gratifying to produce this offbeat night, and to make a short film for it each month. There is a very specific energy here that I really like. The audience, the space, it all comes together to feel comfortable but charged.

**THERE IS A ~PARTY~ AFTER THE VARIETY SHAC SHOW THIS TUESDAY, WITH FRIEND & MUSIC SELECTA MIA JUHNG**

This will be fun so even if you can't come to the show COME AFTER TO HANG OUT and do joke dances because you feel awkward when music is on. Or: just be cool and have rhythm.
