THIS WEEK'S SHOWS

Not only is The Upset Triangle performing this week but many great shows are happening this week, so look out. Here's the week at a glance:

Monday

Whiplash
Leo Allen hosts this stand up showcase at UCB. Tonight's guests are Wyatt Cenac(Daily Show), Andy Kindler(Letterman, Raymond), and Laurie Kilmartin(Jimmy Kimmel, Best Week Ever). I like Slovin and Allen, so getting just Allen for free isn't half bad.

Tuesday


Comic Book Club
I like comic books and this show is like a weekly comic-con for comic fans. It has interviews with insiders and the show is always very funny, insightful, and critical. Awesomeness! Hosted by Justin Tyler, Pete LePage, and Alex Zalben.

SWEET
Comedian Seth Herzog hosts an always hilarious line up of comics. His show is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Great vibe, great talent, worth every penny. You can also always rely on Seth's mom being hilarious. If he's doing his show this week you should go, without a doubt.

Tuesday 9:00pm
The Slipper Room
167 Orchard St (corner of stanton and orchard)
$5-10 bucks, I forget, i think it's definitely $5 but I could be wrong. Like it matters? We're all saving, right? For what?

Thursday

Paul Mooney @ Caroline's
Paul Mooney is amazing. He's playing a few nights at Caroline's if you can't make this one. You'll also need lots of money.

Thursday 8:00pm
Caroline's

$31 plus dinner and all that jazz. Maybe worth it if you got the bread.

Friday

The Upset Triangle is back this week. We're performing with Free Love Forum(www.freeloveforum.com). Free Love Forum is an outstanding sketch group that I consider family. My role in the family is being the crazy uncle who you only see twice a year at family reunions and he ends up getting sloshed and cries about how he never sees anyone anymore. Pat's role would be the other uncle who is well adjusted and polite.

I feel like this will be a show filled with hallmark moments so don't miss out.

Friday 11:00pm
The Upset Triangle & Free Love Forum
The Peoples Improv Theater
154 W. 29th St. (Between 6th and 7th)
