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

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
1626 Broadway
$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.

4/1 8:30 UPSET TRIANGLE @ CHANNEL 101 NY

2009-03-28T20:21:00.001-07:00

The Upset Triangle created a tv pilot for April's Channel 101 Show. Show starts at 8:30 at 92YTribeca. COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE UPSET TRIANGLE! VOTE FOR US!!

The show is called Lost Cities, hosted by Nate Starkey, and it's a travel show that explores lesser known cities in the United States. It's taking a similar direction and structure of the PBS show, Globe Trekker. The show's first adventure is in Jersey City, NJ.

This segment focuses on a local sculptor who makes most of the public sculptures for parks in Jersey City.

This description is tame, but the video is not. We previously worked on Amazing the Lion and Redeeming Rainbow. Both trippy and balls-out absurd.

Wed. April 1st at 8:30pm at 92YTribeca (200 Hudson Street)

APRIL 10th UPSET TRIANGLE SHOW

2009-03-18T21:25:00.000-07:00

They are now hosting a variety show.

February's show had special guests Clown Vomit and stand up comic Marc Maron. Dan and Pat competed for role of banana man and ate many bananas. Their friendship was on the line. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4cIBtwkLLQ)
