Cool Kids Club!

Hey everyone, Dan here to inform you about the debut show of an incredibly fun side project I’ve been working on called the Cool Kids Club, a Mystery Science Theater-esque live show where me and some other cool kids will be making fun of black-and-white educational films from the 1950s and 60s. The show is being organized by Jeff Rubin of Collegehumor.com and also features PSU/Phroth alums Kevin Haulihan and Steve Menegozzi, and this guy Matt Esolda who I just met doing this but who’s really funny too. The show is at the Universal Space Agency on South 1st St in Williamsburg, show starts at 8:30, it’s free, it’s about an hour long, and you can bring your own beer.

I guarantee that you will feel like an even cooler kid than you ever have before or will again, at least until our next show. Come check it out!

The Spoils of a successful Video Night!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Video Night at the East River Bar. It was a tremendously kickass time. All said, over sixty people packed the bar’s patio, dining on meats ranging from catfish to steak. A huge thanks to Sara, bartending saint of the East River Bar, for being so accomodating. And another huge thanks to the Bare Hand Wolf Chokers Association for their co-sponsoring of the event.

And my god, there were some funny videos there. Where can you see them? How about right here:

Fearsome’s Abby Go Dabby!

Dustin D’Addato’s truly funny mock documentary (or, mock-documentary) on Eli Whitney:

Waverly Film’s gritty and foamy, Puppet Rapist, Episode 1:

Elephant Larry took to it with a crazy funny montage, including… the OCD:


Three Shorts from theburg.tv!

And the Bare Hand Wolf Chokers got their Power Point on in a Powerful way! Power!

Video Night at the East River Bar!

Hello AWOK friends,

We’re pleased to announce our next show! This one is going to be a little different. We’re not going to make you watch living people. Oh no, we are kicking those fleshy bags of meat and ambition to the curb. For our next show, we’ll only be showing videos from the very best sketch comedy groups in New York City! And to top it off, there will be grilling of foods! Where and when will this happen? Check it:

Video Night at the East River Bar
Sunday, September 17
7pm-Grillin’/8pm-Screenin’
97 South 6th Street between Bedford and Berry
(take the L train to Bedford or the JMZ to Marcy)
FREE!

Join New York City’s finest comedy troupes at the East River Bar for an evening of grilling and video comedy sketch screening. The grilling starts at 7pm—it’s BYOBBQ (feel free to bring meats, veggies, and other assorted sundries/the East River Bar will handle the beer), and at 8pm, the patio becomes an outdoor movie theatre.

Lineup Includes:
A Week of Kindness
Fearsome
The Bare Hand Wolf Chokers
TheBurg.tv
Trophy Dad
Dawghaus
Elephant Larry
Favorites from Channel 102
and more!

Sounds like fun? It sounds like that because it will be fun.

See you there!
