I have some free tickets to a smart comedy show at the Bowery Poetry Club in Greenwich Village. (On Bowery, just north of Houston). The show is this Thursday (July 17th) at 8 p.m.. These comics are generally brainy/political/alternative comedians. This is NOT Blue Collar Comedy or Def Comedy Jam type stuff. If you like The Daily Show, The Office and Flight of the Conchords, this is a show for you. There is no drink minimum or trick. Just be somebody who likes to laugh and can find Europe on a map. Please email me your name and how many guest you would like to bring ( i.e. ?John Smith + 1? ), and I will get back to you with the details. Some info about the comics on the show is below. Brainyaxe.com Thursday, July 17th @ 8 p.m. Brainyaxe @ The Bowery Poetry Club 308 Bowery - The summer is sizzling, and satire is succulent. So slide on over to..... don't let me do that ever again. We're back, with another killer line-up of brilliantly hilarious comedians. This month... Pete Holmes He's been on over three seasons of VH1's "Best Week Ever" and VH1's All Access television programs as well as Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" and "Honesty" series. He's published cartoons in The New Yorker, and he can eat more chicken than any man on this earth. Hannibal Burress Our old friend from Chicago is back in town. He's been to Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival, Comedy Central's Live at Gotham and a million other things. This guy is trippy as hell and will take you on a journey to the center of your mind. Eliza Faria-Santos Eliza Faria-Santos fluctuates between crippling insecurity and utter megalomania, officially making her a "genius-piece-of-crap." When she feels that it is safe to leave the apartment, Eliza Faria-Santos performs standup comedy. Will Franken "Imagine a surreal-estate agent guiding you through some Escher-like architectural marvel, where each room is its own deeply funny, satirical dream, every passageway a verbal wormhole, and in the corner a shaggy high priest of nothing's-sacredness is fiddling with a bunch of knobs on what looks like an espresso maker. Suddenly you wake up and remember that the lanky comedic heavy-lifter who put the abs on absurdity with last year's Good Luck with It returns to the Marsh for a one-off. . . . The moral? Existence may be fleeting, but Franken is not to be missed." - San Francisco Bay Guardian Jesse Popp Representing the great state of Michigan, Jesse has been on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, runs a weekly show at the Beauty Bar on 14th Street (where you can get your nails done or whiskey neat.) and is busy gentrifying Bushwick. He's a friend of the show and freakin' funny. Christopher Michael Wilkes Christopher used to host Brainyaxe before he moved on to other things, including offering tours of New York City with a British accent, performing improv, and lobbying to turn the "Freedom Hole" into a wishing well. We're glad to have him back. Sven Wechsler Your host and Brainyaxe producer, the official reining Mr. Lower East Side, a man who has been on the National Geographic Channel wearing a Nazi uniform for very little money.
