Gentlemen Party returns this Saturday (FEB 23) at 9:30pm!

The world is lousy with nasty, crass and poorly dressed comedians, but in their sketch and improv show, “Gentlemen Party Presents: Old and Gay,” the fellows of Gentlemen Party aim to please the charming, flamboyant old man in all of us.
You’ll see emotional breakdowns in the Land of Oz, TGIF seances, tiny mobs, famous shark-hunters, coughing babies, girl-pinchers and an avant-garde troll.
But that’s just the written stuff… The rest of it they’ll make up each night, just for you.
See?
What perfect gentlemen.

Tonight at 9pm the award-winning, Canadian duo THE TEMPLETON PHILHARMONIC are making a stop in NYC! Their surreal sketch comedy features hideous Edwardian dresses and deadpan interpretive dance. They’re definitely not to be missed!  

Joining the bill are ever-hilarious New York duo TAMSI & SAMSI. Two charming female duos – one stupendous evening. What else could you possibly ask for?

This Saturday (FEB 9) prepare yourself for MURDERFIST.

The MURDERFIST Show is the comedy show equivalent of a gigantic flaming eagle shooting crossbow arrows out of its eyes and balls. You don’t know what the show will be like, we don’t know what the show will be like, because we have ghosts write the show live while we perform. They are very funny.
