The Apiary feels like death today. The show started around 10 and went on for hours and hours. The night didn't end there, however. Free caffeinated beer and a room full of loopy people kept the party going in the theatre til well past 2:30AM.The Apiary caught Michelle Collins on the red carpetless queue outside and shouted, "Who are you wearing?" She replied, "A threadbare American Apparel V-Neck and Levi Twill 517s. I just came from a job interview that went POORLY. I'm also wearing H&M earrings that leave my earlobes black as night."The Whitest Kids faced a narrow upset to Hammerkatz for the Best Sketch Group award. Unphased by this news, Timmy from the Whitest Kids told The Apiary, "I really like the ECNY Awards... but where the fuck are all the bitches?"Paul Scheer asks the audience, "Have you ever seen a garden with just seeds, but no flowers?"June Raphael live via satellite to claim the Best Duo award for her work in the long running, Rode Hard Put Away Wet.The award for Best Most Wasted Presenters goes to...

The Apiary | Post a Comment | 3 References in Show Recap Wednesday Jun 01 2005 Recap: Invite Them Up 6/1/05
Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 9:14PM Jordan Carlos of Best Week Ever and the upcoming Stella TV show @ Invite Them Up 6/1/05One of the billionaires from College Humor made his stand up debut in an Invite them Up feature called 30 Seconds of Standup, in which a comedian gets 30 seconds to tell jokes. His closer? Something like "How do you curb cocaine use amongst hipsters? Start selling it at Urban Outfitters." You heard it here first, Urban Outfitters is NOT DECK! The shocking Pleaser Twins video made its first uninterrupted premiere. Here's the setup: Craig Baldo and Bobby Tisdale race around the city pleasing people with acts of kindness. Lots of laughs, great production values! Cameos by Ed Helms, Paul Scheer, Chelsea Peretti, and MANY OTHERS.Spotted! Despite none of them performing tonight, Todd Barry, Rob Huebel, & Victor Varnado were all seen after the show carousing with peeps and patrons. It actually sort of says a lot that comedians who aren't on a bill come out. It means that a show is QUITE TOLERABLE and that the performers are WORTH SEEING. During the afterparty in the Rififi lounge, a DJ appeared and spun some tunes and the mood was festive and jovial. Suddenly, a distinguished looking bike messenger type with thick framed glasses entered the bar and alcohol induced hysteria swept the scene. "Holy Shit! It's Hank Azaria! Hank Azaria--from The Simpsons, Spamalot, and Herman's Head--just walked in the door! And he's talking to freakin' Rob Huebel!""That's not Hank Azaria, you idiot. I'll bet you a million dollars. I think it's Ted Raimi."Some back and forth bickering occurs until finally someone has the sense to solicit the truth from Bobby Tisdale. It was Seth Morris!

The Apiary | 1 Comment | 1 Reference in Show Recap Wednesday May 18 2005 Gothamist's Laughable Hype | Pics
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at 9:17AM Photography by Brooklyn VeganFirst of all, one thing needs to be said: Aziz Ansari is a Fuckin' Badass.The Gothamist comedy showcase DELIVERED the goods. Hosts Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel stole the show with ZANY moustachioed antics. A great bit on cell phone ringtones featuring Orinoco Flow and the Charles in Charge theme song sealed the deal for The Apiary. Breakout star Nick Kroll dropped a neat set in which a pre-recorded Nick Kroll thought aloud over a live and bumbling Nick Kroll. Another interesting note is that Aziz continues to build as a box-office draw. Immediately after he finished his routine, about 15 people cleared the room. The show was bookended by Chelsea Peretti and Jessi Klein respectively. Gothamist publisher Jake Dobkin was sighted taking candid(?) photos of the healthy crowd. Central Village, Daily Refill, and Brooklyn Vegan were also spotted laughing/grinning in the back of the house area. Stellar job by everyone. Props to Gothamist for organizing the show and getting people out to see live comedy.
