"So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!" A Farewell 92Y Tribeca Recap.

Well, we did it. With the help of Jena Friedman, Eliot Glazer, and Jackie Mancini, Sideshow Goshko bid a fond farewell to 92Y Tribeca which will be closing its doors this summer. We want to say a huge "thanks" to all the folks at 92Y for bringing us back time and again to grace their beautiful stage. We're truly thankful and wish everyone all the best in their future endeavors. And as always, a huge thanks to everyone who came out to support the show. You guys are the best. Seriously. High fives all around!

Yours truly bidding a fond farewell to the beautiful 92Y Tribeca. So long and thanks for all the fish!

February Sideshow Recap & 92Y Tribeca!

Hosting and running Sideshow Goshko is always a good time and I'm so grateful to work with so many talented folks. But there are some Sideshow Goshkos that really just "pop." Last month's show was one of those. Andy Ross, Tracy Rowland, and Diana Spechler all brought their A games. The night was a great mix of laughs and heartfelt sentiment. And with a full crowd, I couldn't ask for much more. One of our regulars even called the show "the best Sideshow to date!"

Thanks to everyone who came out and continues to support us. I heart you like whoa!

Sometimes I Do Theater

Theater degrees may not be useful for much, but they are useful for, well, theater! I'm proud to be performing in the new original piece The Spectator and the Blind Man: Stories of Seeing and Not Seeing presented by the New York Frigid Festival and written by my friend and sidekick, Dr. Leona Godin. 

And lookie! Here's a trailer where you can see me as a blind pianist. And let me tell you, playing piano blind is about as easy as it sounds.

I'm the "First Loser" behind Louis CK!

Being the "first loser" has never felt so good. Huge thanks to Funny Not Slutty and all who voted naming me "Funniest Storyteller on the Planet" right after Louis CK. Hey, I'll take it :)

Other notable names who make the list: Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Kristin Wiig...in good company.

Derangement of the Senses (New York, NY)

One of my favorite shows to perform on is Derangement of the Senses at Happy Ending Lounge in New York City. How can you not love a show that describes itself as the following:

Derangement of the Senses is a fiction & poetry reading series focusing on multimedia expressionism, people who don't recount stories in a terrifying monotone, the eroticism of fiction, and other incredible acts of literary dynamo. Burlesque performers dance as their favorite literary characters, artists manically illustrate stories live, and cacophonous electronic music swells through amplification of light by the stimulated emission of radiation! The reading is inspired by the proto-punk French poet Arthur Rimbaud, who asserted that the purpose of literature is to f*ck you up.

Awesome, right? Big thanks to the DOTS gang for recording my last performance about mailing dead birds to my first boo. And based on how crazy that sounds, I deserve to have this screen grab. Oy...

I've Been Negligent, But We're BACK!

As fun as temp jobs are (not), they are also time consuming. Hence, my lack of activity on here. But, that is being rectified RIGHT NOW! (whoa, that didn't need to be in all caps).

So, in a convenient easy-to-read manner, here's the latest and greatest.

4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY RECAP
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to make our 4 year anniversary a blast! Standing-room only and great stories made for a fantastic party. I even washed my hair! The evening ended with the crowd shouting "four more years!" Couldn't have asked for a better anniversary.

Molly Knefel shared a hilarious tale about being a balloon sales(wo)man. Which also fit perfectly with the fact that she was standing next to our giant "4" balloon which no one could tell was the number four.
