I’m not a fan of karaoke. But last Wed after a few drinks I threw away my inhibitions and joined in on a few songs with some friends at Midtown Tavern. It was an evening of surly comedians causing a ruckus until we were kicked out. Much fun and my boy, Justin Morgan (check his tumblr) got it all on tape. Thankfully he just made a montage so you can’t hear us sing (or rap). Shout out to another featured tumblr-er (what do we call ourselves?) in the mix, Andrew Wright
*Can’t knock this line up.
Dulce Sloan’s hosting. She’s part of the 40 Acres & A Stool crew so you know she’s gonna attack it with her politely aggressive style.
Paul Gallois’ self deprecating ways always get the crowd on his side.
Noah Gardenswartz is a dude that can’t be ignored once he hits the stage and not just because he’s big but because the laughs he draws are bigger.
Speaking of big, Big Kenney’s headlining and I have never seen a crowd he couldn’t destroy. Seriously. Whether he’s going off the top of his head, interacting with the audience or delivering straight up jokes, somebody’s sides are gonna be hurting.
And of course I’ll be there so if you don’t mind being out on a school night we got something for ya.
