Show: Pete Dominick Headline
Venue: Gotham Comedy Club
Location: 208 W. 23rd Street
Time: 8pm & 10pm
Description of Show and Lineup:
Featuring Rich Aronovitch & Marina Franklin!
Pete Dominick: Stand-up comedian, humorist, and commentator Pete Dominick is on a stable trajectory to becoming a household name. He stormed the New York City comedy scene in the late ’90s, quickly making a name for himself locally as an emcee all the Manhattan clubs wanted hosting their best lineups. Meanwhile, Pete was sought by colleges nationwide, performing on over 300 campuses in just four years. Pete’s reputation for “working the crowd” led to opportunities to warm up audiences for live television tapings, including on programs for MTV, CNBC, and Comedy Central, as well as lots of work opening for fellow comedians like Artie Lange at major venues. After seeing Pete expertly soften up Jon Stewart’s Daily Show audiences, Stephen Colbert brought him to the set of The Colbert Report as permanent audience warm-up from the pilot into the Emmy award-winning show’s fifth year, when Pete left to pursue his own on-camera career. As resident “offbeat reporter” on John King USA, Pete’s quick wit and attention-grabbing personality caught the eyes of CNN executives in 2010, leading almost immediately to his own half-hour news wrap-up show, What the Week. Pete, as show co-creator and host, blends tongue-in-cheek irreverence with an insightful look back at the real issues making and missing the headlines. Back in 2006, Pete’s appearance on the New Faces stage of the Montreal Comedy Festival led to lots of interest, including the opportunity to try radio as host of a fast-paced live comedy hour on the Sirius network’s Raw Dog Comedy channel. In early 2008, Pete made the leap to political commentary, starting his own talk show, Pete’s Big Mouth. Pete continues to host a 3-hour daily discussion on both Sirius and XM, now called Stand Up! with Pete Dominick, which regularly features some of the biggest names in politics and journalism. The Huffington Post recently called Stand Up! “truly the best political talk show on the air today.” Hollywood Reporter listed Pete in an article featuring personalities to watch in talk radio

JO FIRESTONE (The Chris Gethard Show)
Joe Pera (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Adult Swim’s “Joe Pera Talks You To Sleep”)

Show: The Comedienne Project
Venue: The Standing Room
Location: 47-38 Vernon Blvd. LIC
Time: 8pm
Description of Show and Lineup:
Katie Hannigan and Corinne Fisher debuted The Comedienne Project at FringeNYC15. Corinne, the host of the popular anti slut shaming podcast, Guys We Fucked, and Katie, a vehement man hater, both felt themselves falling into the trap of creating material that revolved around men, and our relationships to them. Fisher and Hannigan wanted to break out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves to answer – “What do we think about when we’re not thinking about dudes and sex?” And the two created new half hour sets of fresh material on anything and everything BUT men. (turns out mostly food and vampires,)
Now at The Standing Room, The Comedienne Project continues as Katie and Corinne invite fellow comics to participate in the challenge. Female and male comics alike perform full sets free of sex, dating and relationship material. Katie and Corinne keep it fresh by ringing a bell if a comic slips up and accidentally brings up butt plugs.
