I think this will get more action here, so I moved it.

Hey Psychologist...Thursday: We're All Friends Here at The Slipper Room (I'm biased but it'll be fun). Also good: Greg Johnson's show at Piano's on Sunday and Whiplash at UCB on Monday, both always have strong lineups.

PEACE.

I'll be visiting from Thursday to Sunday, so I've been researching this for weeks. There's not much going on comedy-wise this weekend. You could always see Death By Roo Roo (though most of the group recently moved to LA) or see an ASSCAT (both @ UCB). Keep in mind that the NYC marathon will be all day through and around the entire city on Sunday, so stick to the subways to avoid road closures.

TEARING THE VEIL OF MAYA
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 / 8PM comedy
with EUGENE MIRMAN & friends
$7 : tickets are available at the door


The Comedy Cellar
This site's lineups are posted at the last minute, so I don;t know who will be performing this weekend, but it looks like Dan Mintz will be ther Thursday, so that's promising.

Hey there!
I'd suggest checking out "DTMT presents: The Lil' Seany Boy Show!" which is a really fun, free show at Ochi's Lounge. (Downstairs in Comix comedy club on 14th St. and 9th Ave.) Great new lineup this Sat Nov 1 at 7pm.
Take a look at our films at www.DontTouchMeThere.com, and if you enjoy those come check out the show Saturday. Either way have a great trip!

Wednesday also is the start of the New York Comedy Festival, so there will be a bunch of shows throughout the city that night, too.
