Nick Turner writes about what the Creek means to New York comedians:
I perform maybe a quarter of all of my NY stand up sets at The Creek. Way more than on any other stage, I have learned how to be a comedian at The Creek. No other full time comedy venue allows the freedom and the stage time together that this venue provides.
There’s are roughly 10 open mics a...

If you like comedy and if you like the idea of giving young comics, improvisers, actors, musicians and artists a home where they can perform regularly and without the pressure to compromise their artistic growth for profit, then contribute to the Creek’s Kickstarter.
Help transform what’s already an amazing home for alternative comedy into a legit and lasting comedy club.
DO IT! (I...

It’s funny, so there must be some truth to it?
No, if it’s funny, that means it’s funny. Moreover, the comedian probably oversimplified the situation or stretched the truth to make it appear funnier and the butt of the joke to appear stupider.
I know that there is a…
Yeah, fuck this blog.

I’m in the latest video from Dan St. Germain. It’s got Murderfist’s Henry Zebrowski, who is the best pedophile. Also, I’m very proud of my work as a mute 6 year old.

It gives me great joy to be able to announce that UCB’s long awaited East Village venue — UCBeast — will be open as of tonight at 7:30pm. A new website will be forthcoming in the near future.
Please come check out the new space (155 E. 3rd Street and Avenue A). There is…
I’m really curious to see how the UCBeast does. It’s great to have a new venue in town. The...

Eating a 1,700 calorie meal just makes Michelle Obama human. We might as well be mad at Michele Bachmann every time she gets an erection. Or Marcus Bachmann any time he has gay sex.
Royal Oak is closed!
The venue I and my friend Subhah run The Woodshed, a long-running a mic, has closed. The mic used to be run by Mike Lawrence and Dan St. Germain before they got too busy for it, at which point we took it over. We’re currently looking for a new venue.
Do you have any suggestions? We’re open to anything, but we’d prefer a space in Williamsburg. Do you have any connections to a...

“It has a head like a deer, stands upright like a man and hops like a frog,” reads an account of an unknown creature by 1700s explorers. “It sometimes sports two heads –- one on the shoulders, and one on the stomach.” Picturing such an animal brings up some pretty…

Look ma! A lion!

Thank goodness Derrick learned his mutant power was a forcefield. It gave him license be far more careless around giant predators.
I just spent a decent amount of time looking up videos of lions trying to eats kids at zoos. I started feeling really bad for the lions.
THE WORST CHILD STAND-UP COMICS
I’ve put up a bunch of kid stand-up comic videos on my facebook page and a friend of mine was asking me about it. It might seem a little mean making a list of the worst kid stand-ups online, but IT’S FUN! I also don’t think anyone should do stand-up before they are 18, because growing up is a special time. That being said, I hope these kids had...
