Kick off the warm weather with Lacey and Buckels and their steamy crushes they tricked into being in the same room together to “do comedy”* at the very first ~sUmMeR fLiNG~ A “fling” implies “casual” and “chill” and “non committal” which describes Lacey and Buckels perfectly. They are NOT crazy teehee and are total guys’ girls lol who are too hot to care whether or not any of these comics have texted them back but are weirdly not models? Very cool. w/ crushes Colin Quinn Jo Firestone Will Miles & Julio Torres Idk they will see what happens it’s honestly not even a big deal *give them each at LEAST one sincere compliment or they will be kept onstage against their will, they were talking about it one time and violence is sort of whatever to them, totally unrelated but neither of them see what the big deal is about violence, so

Inspired by the stand up comedy of Eddie Murphy, Blackson began to develop his comedic talent in 1992 in the unkind comedy clubs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Blackson’s comedic appeal grew from his involvement with BET’s ComicView series, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Harlem, and Live in Hollywood. However, it was in a Los Angeles comedy club where Blackson got his big break. Blackson was performing at the Comedy Store where actor/director Ice Cube was in attendance to see comedian Mike Epps perform. But after experiencing Blackson’s performance, Ice Cube invited the young comic for a reading…and the rest is smash hit history! Blackson’s outstanding and unforgettable performance in the smash hit comedy, Next Friday, drew praise and a fan following like no other.

It all kicks off at 2pm on July 4th at The Creek & The Cave in Long Island City and you can see it all for free! As the number of competitors dwindles, the competition gets more fierce and the challenges get more absurd. Who will make it out on top? What will they have to do to get there?? You’ll have to be there to find out! Don’t forget to stick around for the pie bake-off immediately following the show.

Every show is a wildly different experience and features a dizzying array of comedians telling jokes while facing randomized themed challenges that could be anything from having an impromptu puppet show or pie fight or Easter Pageant, to giving a guided tour in a trolley car or smashing fruit like Gallagher or pitching in a baseball game involving the entire audience. Expect anything and everything out of the ordinary, all of it held together by solid, hilarious standup comedy.
