I am beyond thrilled to be returning to Joe's Pub with the fantastic and long-running Loser's Lounge as they present their tribute to the great Joni Mitchell! Be sure to grab your tickets as this show usually sells out. Helmed by the wonderful Joe McGinty.

THE SKINT presents THE LATE NIGHT DISASTER W/ ROB BLATT

Tuesday, April 28th, 8pm

Union Hall, Brooklyn, $8

I'm excited to be the band leader for the debut of Late Night Disaster at Union Hall! Late Night Disaster is a variety show dressed up like a traditional late night talk show helmed by pro wrestler and side show performer Rob Blatt ("The internet's favorite person" -Uproxx). Late Night Disaster takes musical guests, comedians, the weirdos of NYC, podcasters, burlesque performers, and bad ideas into a shaker and mixes them with whiskey served over ice for a ridiculous cocktail of fun. Have you ever seen John Turturro reading from the Mega Man 2 novelization dressed like a hot dog? We haven't, but we're gonna see if he's interested.
