Tuesday Mar 31 2009 New York Comics Rally for a Cause
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 7:00AM Funny gals (l. to r.) Sara Jo Allocco, Katina Corrao and Glennis McMurray will co-host "A Night for Dottie."On Sunday, April 5, more than a dozen of your favorite Big Apple joke slingers will gather at Comix to raise funds for the family of a cancer victim, and also to demonstrate the power of the New York comedy community. The 2nd Annual "Night for Dottie" -- co-hosted by producers Sara Jo Allocco, Katina Corrao and Glennis McMurray -- will celebrate the life and times of Dottie Person, a New York native and mother of five who died of melanoma on April 2, 2007. Dottie, who was 32, left behind a husband and five children, the youngest of whom is now two years old. Though she's quick to deflect credit, longtime friend Katina Corrao spearheaded last year's show and says this year's comedians were just as quick to heed her call for help.Dottie with daughter Caroline | Caring Bridge"Nobody asked about money, about getting paid," she says. "Everybody talks about how the comedy business can be so cut-throat and everything, but if you just surround yourself with really good people, you'll eventually see the greatness that this community has to offer. It's really awesome." Corrao also says the crew at Comix comedy club -- Kambri Crews, Molly Mandel and Brian Baldinger -- were immensely helpful in setting up the event. And last year, local fave Christian Finnegan headlined the show and really brought his A-game, which helped make the show a success. She adds that this year's headliner, Paul F. Tompkins, responded immediately to her initial e-mail request with: "I'm on board, it's in my book, absolutely." According to Corrao, even when Dottie knew her condition was grave, she remained upbeat and optimistic. "Initially, I just wanted to get Dottie's message out," says Corrao. "Because it's not only a fundraiser to help Dottie's children, but I hope it makes you look at your life and say, 'Here's a woman who remained positive and happy despite what was going on in her life.'"Dottie and family, 2005The Person Family"A Night for Dottie" will feature performances by:Paul F.

The Apiary | Post a Comment in Colours Friday Mar 27 2009 Aziz Ansari in the Wall Street Journal
Friday, March 27, 2009 at 7:21AM Aziz performing at The Glow in the Dark Stand-Up Comedy Tour | Photo: Ashley Aguirre"The Rise of the Likable Jerk" by Ellen Gamerman in today's Wall Street Journal. She also wrote about Improv Everywhere. Our old pal Aziz is living proof that the sky is the limit for those in comedy who work hard, have patience and believe in what they do.> "He has launched a Twitter feed, where he sometimes alludes to imaginary plans with famous people he doesn't know. According to the feed, in recent days he has eaten brunch with the R&B band Boyz II Men, had sushi with "Blood Diamond" actor Djimon Hounsou and beaten World Wrestling Entertainment star John Cena in a push-up competition. None of this is true."

The Apiary | Post a Comment in General Interest Thursday Mar 26 2009 Take a Good Look at Taking Woodstock
Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 9:37AM Ang Lee, acclaimed director of Brokeback Mountain and Hulk (the non-Incredible one), has found a new leading actor for his movies and his name isn't "Heath" or "Jake" or "Eric Bana." It's Demetri Martin. Last night during Important Things with Demetri Martin, the trailer for the upcoming film Taking Woodstock premiered:It comes out this Summer. If you absolutely can't wait that long for more Taking Woodstock footage, uh, here's an outtake or something of Demetri perilously careening into a pool of mud.RELATEDThe OFFICIAL Taking Woodstock Fanpage
