« The Sting | Main| In Conversation with Don Rickles @ The 92nd St. Y - 5.17.7 By: Billy Nord » Friday Jun 01 2007 Blind Item Round-up

Friday, June 1, 2007 at 7:28AM A fiery fun spat of blind items pertaining to the comedy world emerged in the weeklies over the past couple days. We've filtered them out and added a few of our own to the mix. If you're eating Dipping Dots right now, put them down, because if you accidentally spill them all over the blind item braille below, you're just gonna get confused and sticky.

FROM: From TimeOut NY's recent column, Cool as Shhh

1) "Humor is often relegated to dank basements where stand-ups perform for a bunch of social miscreants. Not at this showcase, which manages to treat comedy like an art form, keep drink prices super low and pay performers like professionals. Laugh, then learn about the Children's Aid Society on your way out."

FROM: Michael Musto's latest article in the Village Voice

2) "Which still-not-out funnyman known for that sitcom has a gigantic trouser pipe that you'd think wouldn't even fit in a closet?"

3) "Which zany comic who's always been weird looking--and later became weird looking in a different way--was spotted with a surprisingly hot guy in a gay bar in Brazil?"

FROM: The Apiary:

4) Which relatively new-to-NYC comedy wunderkind is already packing the proverbial lollerblades for the piers of Santa Monica?

5) Who's the area funnylady who was sighted this morning dropping off her pet at the vet for a good old fashioned neutering?

6) Which writer, who's best known for despising the world around us, seems surprisingly sugary sweet in person? (Hint: It's not Hitchens.)

Also somewhat related: New York Magazine recently mentioned that The Office's B.J. Novak will be living in NYC for the month of June. Hopefully, he'll be making some live appearances. June 1, 2007 | Matt S. One of the best parts one #1 is the bouncy floored playground you walk through to get the the performance room. June 1, 2007 | Gaelen http://www.moonwork.org/ (although it's down at the moment). I think they are done with shows for the season though. Props to James Manzi and everyone for putting together good shows. June 1, 2007 | Gaelen I'm seriously intrigued about the Musto claim...

Andy Dick? Jim Belushi?? June 1, 2007 | eliot Which one, the comic with the gigantic trouser pipe or the zany and weird looking one? June 1, 2007 | Libbs "Which zany comic who's always been weird looking--and later became weird looking in a different way"
