If You Don't Love This, Your Soul Is Broken...

The Ides of March Sideshow Goshko

What can I say? I'm extremely lucky and grateful to be able to host and work with such great talent. We had another amazing Sideshow Goshko last week. So much so, that an audience member reviewed us on Yelp...and it's GOOD!

Our formidable cast included David Dickerson, with a tale of jelly fish and skinny dipping...

My Thoughts On Storytelling

Glennis McMurray is a NY performer and producer who also happens to run a great site called GLOC (Gorgeous Ladies of Comedy). They recently asked me to share a little bit about my involvement with the New York storytelling scene. Below is what transpired. Hope you enjoy!

Oh My Effing G*d!

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but ironically for being in comedy, there are few things that REALLY make me laugh. So when my friend Robin told me about a musical based on "Silence of the Lambs" and how "funny" it was, I was skeptical. Then I saw this video and busted up laughing by myself and watched it a dozen more times. To get to my favorite part, start at the 1:20 mark and prepare to laugh and possibly tinkle yourself a little.

Sideshow Goshko Turns 2 years Old!!!

Oh me, oh my! Sideshow Goshko is turning 2 years old! And you, yes YOU, are invited to help us celebrate. We've had a great 2 years so far and have been honored to receive the following award titles:

• Time Out New York "Critic's Pick"

• New York Daily News "Editor's Pick"

• Going.com "Editor's Pick"

And now, we're so happy to be at our new home, the legendary KGB Bar (named "Best Literary Venue in New York City" by New York Magazine).

Oh, and did I mention it's my birthday as well? Double Birthday Fun Times!
