MSTie’s Rejoice! Joel Hodgson is Bringing Back Mystery Science Theatre 3000!

That show with the guy stranded in space on the Satellite of Love, with robot friends he built himself, being tortured with cheesy movies (the worst they can find – la la la) by Mad Scientists at Gizmonic Institute was coming back?? My original thought was that he was shopping the show to an online network, maybe with new wraparounds.

Enjoying the New York Comedy Festival: The Definitive Guide

We cover the country, but New York's our home, so it's an exciting week when the New York Comedy Festival comes around. It's unlike any other festival in the country. It's gigantic, but it's also decidedly unfestival-like because it's spread out through the entire city without a central focal point. Any week of the year there is a massive festival-worthy list of great comedy happening in New York City so by the time you add in a few extra headlining events, what you really have is a gigantic list of impossible choices and tough decisions.
