Hey folks, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but it’s a big week for comedy, so here you go:

Seth Herzog‘s long running Manhattan comedy show SWEET has found a new home over at Arlene’s Grocery on the Lower East Side. The first show at the new venue is this Wednesday night (Sep 29) at 10PM and the guests are: Jeff Ross, Jordan Rubin, Dave Hill, Seth Herzog and Special Guests!

The Emmy winning Sara Schaefer is taking her popular weekly comedy show, Get Off Your Knees to DownSouth at SouthPaw (aka the basement room). The first show at the new location is on Tuesday (Sep 28) of this week at 8PM and it features Wyatt Cenac, Kristen Schaal, Nick Turner, Sara Schaefer and more.

Since last month, Hot Tub with Kurt and Kristen has taken up permanent residence over at Littlefield in Gowanus on Monday nights. This week’s show features Heather Lawless, Maeve Higgins, Marcus Monroe, Todd Margaret and your hosts Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler.
