Venue: Union Hall
Location: 702 Union St, Brooklyn, NY
Time: 8pm/ Doors at 7:30pm
Description of Show and Lineup:
“A heady mix of stand-up comedy, music and conversation, Right NOW! is refreshingly self-aware and just the right amount of raw. Rebecca Vigil leads the house band and is both hilarious and an amazingly accomplished improvisational singer who complements Castiglia’s equally hilarious and incredibly quick-witted hosting style. No, really—I’ve rarely seen anyone as quick on their feet as Castiglia, and it works beautifully with the tone and pace of the show.” – A Women’s Thing
Featuring:
Stand-Up Guest Ted Alexandro (Conan, Madison Square Garden)
Interview Guest Michelle Buteau (Comedy Central, VH1)
Panelists Joel Kim Booster (writer, Billy on the Street) Jon Fisch (Gotham Comedy Live), Sharon Spell (UCB) talk about marriage and its end result, divorce!

*Shows Saturday 5/14 also
Show: Greg Proops is The Smartest Man In The World
Venue: The Bell House
Location: 149 7th St, Brooklyn, NY
Time: 8pm/ Doors at 7:30
Description of Show and Lineup:
Rolling Stone Magazine: “Here he is, though, in front of a live audience each week, bravely recording some of the boldest comedy on the podcasting frontier right now.” It’s just Proops and you. There’s no fan fare. Proops takes center stage at small table and chair setup with a single microphone. Then he’s off. An hour or so of great conversation that flies by at a break neck clip. He crams the feeling of a great two-way conversation into the lecture-style format of a one-way conversation. Part professorial, part crazed comedian, Proops forms the show around his talent and passions. The show flows like a love letter to tangents. The Proopcast has been to Australia, New Zealand, Montreal, London, Paris, Edinburgh, Norway, Amsterdam, Brooklyn, Dublin, Austin, Cleveland, San Francisco and off the coast of St. Martin in the Caribbean. Now you must fall. Be there and experience joy for once in your life.
