This is Leslie Kritzer. Learn her name, because she’s going to kick you in the face with her voice when you see her at Joe’s Pub next month. Oh, and you will see her next month. Because I don’t figure you for a moron.
Leslie, in the genius tradition of not Rufus Wainright, and the yet-to-be-staged letter-perfect re-enactment of Liza with a ‘Z’ I intend to do once I am diagnosed with a fatal […]

I for one have always wanted to dabble in the art of S&M. But y’know, I just don’t have thick enough skin. I’m pretty sure I’d keep asking, “is that ok? you ok? you want some water? more spanking? more blankets? splankets? haha! no? ok.” Someone offered to buy me a whip once, but only if I would use it on him. What the heck, I thought! So we went shopping in the West […]

Hey you got your comedy in my rap!
And I got my rap all over, in between, and up in your comedy.
Like, WAY up in it.
Dirty-style.
Glennis McMurray is prepared to “rock” your “mic.”
Sound good? Awesome. Then revive yourself from your turkey coma and drag yourself down to Mo Pitkins this Friday Night to see some of NY’s top comedian/MCs duke it out on the mic. Last month’s show was a blast […]

Tomorrow will bring with it Turkeys and shame and the beginning of the Holiday Season! To help get you through this festive and humiliating season, we’ve put together a collection of Holiday Tips from some of our favorite performers:
Shayna Ferm, bathed in holiday cheer and box wine.
“Turkey and Potato Chips!! Last year we deep fried one Thanksgiving turkey and also had another turkey in case people weren’t into the idea of […]

Some of us are going to be guests this Thanksgiving. It’s great because there’s not much work, but stressful if you need to make a good impression. Personally, nothing guarantees me spilling gravy, dropping china, or shouting, “You’re all FUCKING CRAZY!” faster than the pressure of having to win over the table. One thing to prevent this is to impress your hosts with a great gift. Here are some suggestions…
Condiments for The Aftermath: […]

Trixie And Her Tapeworm, by Molly Crabapple
Molly Crabapple is a busy girl. She hurried in a few minutes late to our meeting at Verb Café in Williamsburg, clutching books and packages. I had asked to meet with her after falling in love with her illustrations of local performers, saucy witches and Victorian ladies. But dividing her time between successful careers as an illustrator, event planner, author, burlesque dancer and fire-eater, doesn’t leave […]

Check out the hottest thing to grope a ukelele since Tiny Tim!
(Seriously, is that joke old yet, ladies?)
The Hazzards, New York’s baddest two-girl uke group, play tonight at
Comix in NYC. And I will be there. And I scored a sweet interview with these talented ladies after! So there will be a lot of gushing and giggling and hand-holding.
Be there! Tonight!

Beaches, Wicked, Thelma and Louise: all part of a legacy of love stories between women that, despite being totally platonic, are also totally gay. Add to this list Megan And Bridie: Friends Without Benefits, playing again tonight at the UCBT. See Megan and Bridie meet, fall into disfunctional co-dependence, and of course - crump dancersize.

A romantic comedy…without the romance.
9:30 UCBT (307 West 26th Street, at 8th Ave) $5

If you’ve ever stumbled along St. Marks after 4AM while trying to light a cigarette from the wrong end, perhaps you’ve noticed the glowing pink wonder that is BAMN, an automat that serves hot food from a giant vending machine. Interesting, but is food that comes from behind a plastic window any good? I enlisted the help of my friends Rachel Korowitz (Ash Wednesday, Evel Cathedral @ The Magnet), Michele Medlin (ElMo@various locations) and Sarah Nowak (Fancy […]

Comedian Becky Poole
I’ve never cheated on anyone, I’ve never had a one-night stand, and I’ve never done cocaine. When telling someone I once dated those three qualities, he said, “Wow, you’ve really got that virgin-whore thing going on just perfectly.” Maybe I do, but the rebound is a whore’s game, and I don’t think I’m the only one out there who’s “virgin” side is getting in the way of a good time. Why is […]
