doktor cocacolamcdonalds

After performing at Alternative Comedy Festival 2008 with Eugene Mirman, Todd Barry, and Emo Phillips, the hilarious doktor cocacolamcdonalds takes NYC and The PIT for one night only!

Armed with a musical artillery that includes Casio keyboards, Nintendo Gameboys, Stylophones, and a Speak & Spell, the doktor became the cult hit of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a repertoire that includes songs called "Feed Celebrities to the Third World" and "Gene Hackman is Better than PacMan". He's appeared on BBC and MTV2 and has performed at London's Soho Theatre. "Simply wonderful...This is not so much comedy as a one-man event which escaped through a wormhole from 1967. Doktor CocaColaMcDonalds is not just in his own class, but on his own planet." - Chortle

Starkey & Grace

Chris Grace and Nate Starkey present an unscripted theatrical event for your entertainment pleasure. These guys either win the race or they crash their car. Watch them push it to the edge with the same reckless abandon that made them legends throughout the Pacific Northwest and a few small counties in what used to be called the Dakota territory, before progress ruined everything.

Make 'Em Laugh + Pickled

Two amazing solo shows. One price. One night only.

Writer/performer Esther Silberstein stars in Pickled, where the employees and the clientele are as diverse as the drink selection. Specials tonight: a bitter woman writer straight up with a twist and an American-bashing white [haired] Russian. Directed by Rabeah Ghaffari.

Mary Theresa Archbold brings you Make 'em Laugh: A Tribute to Donald O'Connor. A glimpse into the life of Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winning MGM star Donald O'Connor, best known as "The other guy in Singin in the Rain", as told by a five foot tall tap dancing gal!
