<p>Thursday Oct 06 2011  The Jukebox @ Union Hall - 10.3.11</p>
<p>Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 11:23AM</p>

<p>Steve Jacobs and Steve Heislerare the infectious hosts ofThe Jukebox, an immensely fun comedic storytelling series punctuated with epic karaoke performances.</p>

<p>NOTES</p>

<p>--Dressed in personalized t-shirts from Steve Heisler's bar mitzvah, Steve and Steve kicked off the show with a lusty take on Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You." Each edition of The Jukebox has a theme, and this one's was The 90's, thus giving the whole evening a Mortified + songs kind of vibe.</p>

<p>--The Jukebox format goes like this: performer tells a story > performer sings song related to that story > audience either laughs, laughs and sings along, OR waits patiently for the performer to finish.</p>

<p>--Chipper Eugene Mirman Festival producer,Caroline Creaghead,picked apart her sad tween journal to tell a tale of unrequited puppy love, finishing with "Don't Speak." Does Caroline know Perfect Pitch? She simply must audition for the X-Factor. Not the TV show--the mutant superhero team because of her singing powers!</p>

<p>--The show was supposed to feature Mike Doughty from the seminal '90s band Soul Coughing, but Doughty choked at the last minute citing a sudden illness OR WHATEVER. It didn't matter because his replacement,Andy Ross, fucking slaughtered everyone with a slow-build story about the day he called upon his thoroughly terrified teenage crush to come on stage and sing the female part of "I'm Having the Time of My Life" at his middle school talent show. As he did back then, he sang to us BOTH parts of the song alone, going between a room-shaking baritone to the kind of falsetto last heard in the movie White Chicks.</p>

<p>--The next edition of The Jukebox is 11/29. If you can't wait that long to watch people brilliantly nail and/or butcher your favorite songs live, Celebrity Duetsmakes its promising debut at Union Hall TOMORROW NIGHT. Or I guess you can go see Rock of Ages.There's always that.</p>

<p>Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 2:40PM  An example of what laughing ladies look like. A reader wrote in today looking for some advice:</p>

<p>> Hi Nate, My Aunt Patty is coming to nyc this weekend and she just texted me to see if I knew of any good comedy shows that she+work friends could go to while she's here. Do you have any ideas I could share with her? She's older, late 40s, mom, etc. But she's fun! And kind of a partier... and in the big city without her kids so wants to have fun. Where does someone with this profile go to laugh in NYC?</p>
<p>Great question! Where do you think Aunt Patty should go?? Do you want Aunt Patty and her work friends at YOUR show? She sounds pretty chill.</p>

<p>The Apiary | 2 Comments | 6 References tagged ECNY Awards in Jobs Friday Sep 16 2011  Look Who's On the Wall of Celebrity Patrons at Goodburger</p>
<p>Friday, September 16, 2011 at 5:06PM I was eating at Goodburger in Union Square today and look who I found staring down at me from their wall of BOLD NAME burgermeisters...</p>

<p>Maury Povich!</p>

<p>THE Billy Elliot!</p>

<p>And Matt McCarthy holding a sack of Doritos!</p>

<p>How does the celebrity patron wall thing work exactly? Was Matt carrying the headshot when he ate that day? OR does the back office of Goodburger have a printout of every celebrity JUST IN CASE they stop in? Do you think Matt received a Goodburger VIP Card for this endorsement and abuses the shit out of it just like Lindsay Lohan did with Carvel?</p>

<p>Friday, September 9, 2011 at 2:20PM</p>

<p>I heard a hot rumor that Broadway star Mary Faber tested for Saturday Night Live recently and is being considered for a spot on the show. She currently sings and dances opposite Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed and has studied improv at both The PIT and UCB.</p>

<p>Lorne Michaels issued a statement last month saying SNL was neither firing nor hiring any cast members this season, HOWEVER, according to sources close to the matter, they're potentially interested in making room for a female... if the right one comes along. Is Mary the one?? Mary's SNL audition reel is up on YouTube, check it out.</p>

<p>Seems like she'd be awesome, hope she gets it! Here's a list of 15 fun facts about Mary.</p>

<p>The Apiary was the first to report on the SNL casting rumors last year. Send tips to theapiary@gmail.com if you hear anything.</p>

<p>Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 1:27PM When I think of LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCES in LA, my mind generates images of hapless, infirm yokels just trying to enjoy their Universal Studiez vacay. Maybe they're buying a fake Coach clutch somewhere or hoping to spot Chuck Lorre eating a salad on a sidewalk when suddenly they're violently tasered and thrown into cube truck and taken to some horrid, chilly room for 5 hours. Whitney, the new NBC series premiering September 22nd, is taped in front of a live studio audience and I guess they don't seem all that miserable or debilitated here. Some are smiling even! If any of you guys can see this post, how was the show??</p>

<p>The Apiary | 4 Comments | 12 References tagged Whitney Cummings in TV/Film Tuesday Sep 06 2011  The UCB East is Now Open for Business: First Photos, Shows, and Details From the New Theater</p>
<p>Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 11:43PM The UCBT officially unlocked its East Village expansion Tuesday night, The UCB East (aka The Beast). But judging by the utter lack of wacky inflatable arm tube dudes and the three random people in the crowd for its first show (a screening of Wild Girls Gone), it's not ready for a Theater Magazine feature story yet. I strolled through, snagging shots of the new space. It seats a 100 maybe and is both long-ish and narrow. You'll need to speak with your diaphragms inserted to reach the lurkers in the back. Oh, and the stage is small, probably 12-14 feet wide? UCB West devotees will be majorly disappointed by the clear, unobstructed view from every seat. The venue has a foyer and a roomy spillway, which means you'll be able to shotgun PBRs before and after a performance without getting rained on. BYOB for now though til the liquor license fairies come by.</p>

<p>The official calendar should be debuting any moment now at the UCBT site--someone at the theater said it'll go live tonight at midnight. Here's this week's lineup.</p>
