Poetry, Comedy, and Dessert

 

 

For those of you who write poetry and/or appreciate hearing other people’s poetry (especially short poems), I am part of the Brevitas Festival this Tuesday evening, Nov. 28, 2023, 6pm, at The Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery, NYC.  Everyone is welcome for only ten dollars which includes a copy of the Brevitas anthology! There will be many readers, and then an open mic for you to share a poem of 14 lines or less if you wish to do so.

 

 

Friday, December 8, 2023, 8pm, at The Artist, 249 City Island Avenue on City Island, Bronx, NY, brace yourself for hilarity at the Almost Winter Comedy Show hosted by me and featuring TJ Meyers, Joanne Filan, and Ken Watter.

 

Only $15 and NO minimum!   You may BYOB.  The wait staff will happily provide a corkscrew if needed, glasses, and ice.  A menu of light fare (vegetarian inclusive) and a selection of desserts from Jenny’s Sweets might tempt you.   Jenny's Sweets

 

On Saturday, December 16^th, I’m doing stand-up in a talent show (mostly rappers performing, I believe).  Details to come. 

 

Thanks for reading!

 

Love always to CGG-M ❤❤❤

Killing & Comedy

 

 

 

Hello everybody.  Do you ever feel like killing someone or something?  Please focus that impulse on these:

I try to kill each one I see, but some leap and get away.  I do get many, and I realize that having something that I’m encouraged to kill (and am not totally grossed out by, like waterbugs, roaches, rodents, and some so-called humans) can be kind of cathartic.  So people, I encourage you to kill those mf-ers.

 

On to more pleasant kinds of killing, my next comedy show at The Artist on City Island is Friday, December 8^th at 8pm.  The holiday season on City Island is beautiful.  Nice to spend the day, visit the shops, dine on some seafood (or other options), and then come to The Artist, 249 City Island Avenue, for comedy and dessert (from Jenny’s Sweets).  You are free to BYOB.  Laughter guaranteed.  For those who plan ahead, mark your calendars.

 

 The hilarious line-up:

 

TJ Meyers

 

 

Joanne Filan

  Ken Watter

 

 

And me of course!

 

Quality comedy for incredibly reasonable prices.  $15 admission and NO minimum.  Laughter guaranteed. 

 

 

 

 

Deep love to CGG-M  ❤❤❤
