We have a special visitor from out of town, very excited to announce he is joining this month's lineup.
ASTERIOS KOKKINOS
He lives in Los Angeles and has all the Manswers. (He wrote them.) I first saw Kokkinos at a WHIM Quarterly show, hilarious and straight up fun. He reminded me so much of George Duffy -- very happy dudes, very full of Pokemon knowledge. Also, insightful...
Kokkinos can be heard on the podcast International Waters hosted by Jesse Thorn and quite a few of his own. Check him out on Tumblr and Twitter before you see him live August 28th at 8pm in the back room of Bedlam. It is always good to see what Kokkinos is up to since he does great, fun things like this 3D standup set...
And improvises career-based songs on his nieces' singing show...
On top of this busy schedule, Garden also runs the successful bodega, Joe's Cold Beverages. Garden posted a photo of the recent remodelng done earlier this summer.
Before really moving to New York, some friends took me to a packed show called Tell Your Friends. This was my introduction to John Harris. He read a series of one-liners that are difficult to remember because I almost couldn't hear them over the sound of my own laughter. All I know is, they were dark and they were very funny.
Harris has been a Senior Writer at The Onion and I used to deliver his paychecks at IFC's Onion News Network.
A zine with contributors from30 Rock, The Colbert Report, The Onion, The Onion News Network, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker -- along with the amazing Kate Beaton and Bob Powers. A hard copy with great texture can be purchased here. If you bring it to the show you might get an honest autograph like this one...
A piece written by Harris for PBQ was featured on SplitSider. He is also the regular host of Cashmere! You can see him being funny at Bedlam on the last Tuesday of every month. Check him out in real life and on Twitter.
DAMIEN LEMON
Until May's Broad City Live, I had only heard Damien Lemon's voice. This is because the first show I saw him in was so packed, the stage was not visible. It is more than possible that he looks familiar to you though because his face has been EVERYWHERE this year.
And if you want you can still see him on the big screen in The Amazing Spiderman. Quite a summer, including this week when Lemon headlined at Caroline's.
One of my biggest regrets in life is that I have only seen Brent Sullivan's slideshow about his fake online profile as a make-up artist (who only does cat make-up on humans) once. This was part of his set when I saw him at Big Terrific, and only the beginning when it comes to Sullivan.
You can see all of these comedians and the special guest host at Cashmere on Tuesday, August 28th in the back room of Bedlam 8pm FREE! Add to your Calendar Follow on Twitter Follow on Tumblr Like on Facebook
