NYC weekly open mic Wenzday Adams

[Grubard]

Hello comedic pursuers,

Remember the days where you went to an open mic in New York City just to watch talented up and coming comedians and the occasional crazy person? Me either, but legend has it that the entertaining Manhattan open mic once existed 10, 20, 30 years ago and I believe that it can come back again.

I have a pipe dream.

The line-up only goes ten deep, but it's a lottery and if the crowd is still with it I'll pick more names out. And there's always one locally booked headliner.

4/28: Sam Morril (2010 March Comedy Madness winner)
5/5: Neal Stastny (New Orleans Comedy & Arts Festival)
5/12: Nick Vatterott (Oodles of Pun)

Hello aspecialthing

The 4th show is coming up! Do you think stand-up comedy is a special thing? Well, support live stand-up comedy. This is all most of us have and you will realize this once you are at the open mic.

Hello wonderfuls,

Last week we were at Gallery Bar, but they were cocksuckers. We haven't been at the same venue two weeks in a row and this tradition will continue as long as I can handle that (or until we find the perfect venue that likes us). Join the facebook group and you won't have to check AST to know where it is as I will blast the venue every Tuesday night to you.

$.75 coffee in the name of Abbie Hoffman!

Fuck art, this is comedy!

Hello hilarious-os,

Yippie!

This past Wednesday we were warmly accepted into the Yippie Museum with smelly, welcome arms. The manager, without prompting, even said a few times, "comedians should never pay to perform." Beautiful.

Not gonna lie, it's just a mic. Things were a tad weird, but that's not a bad thing. Remember it never got weird enough for HST and who doesn't respect him?

Hello cheerios,

The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will be streaming live.

I hate to make blanket statements, but if you're not even trying to get on at Wenzday Adams you're a hack. I'm looking at you, Dave Attell.

Hello child,

The name of the open mic has been changed to VENZDAY ADAMS because it is a Google Whack until Wenzday Adams which is also a bunch of bands with myspace pages. The open mic has been going steady for seven shows and it's only going to get bigger. Come by and wax hilarious.

Hello gormandizers,

We had a week off and now we'll be back with a God forsaken vengeance. It's gonna be a Hell of a show and a bunch of people are going to get on stage for showing up and being lucky. Some people will walk away with prizes donated from comedians. Because that's how we spend Venzdays.

Q: Did you know that the Yippie Museum is across the street from CBGBs?
A: No, but I know it's next to a pretentious place to eat brunch any time of day.

[andrei]

that place has pretty solid brunch, btw

Hello there viewers,

The booked spot has become the bullet spot and I believe it's been working rather well for the most part. Keep showing up, people. It's going well and Juan at the Yippie Museum is really into getting audience to come watch the "show." Can he do the impossible and figure out how to get New Yorkers to watch comedians testing out jokes somewhere that isn't UCB? No. No, he can't.

Hello there rock n' rulers,

Last week Ryan Conner did a great job biting the bullet for 13 minutes. This week Erik Bergstrom is going to kill it and I'm rather sure Dan St. Germain will also be stopping by. Won't you?

Hello there pen users,

Claudia Cogan has perfect timing, shows up RIGHT on time and does her allotted time. And I'm hip about time. And aren't we all living our lives in minutes? Nevermind.

Hello there unassuming audience,

Things are mildly popular and only going to get popularer. But there are still only going to be comedians in the audience. Well, sometimes a hottie from Sweden pops in for ten comics, but they usually scurry off after a few too many rape jokes. Come one, come all!
