Show: Paid or Pain
Venue: New York Comedy Club
Location: 241 E. 24th Street NYC
Time: 11:15pm
Description of Show and Lineup:
Tired of being tortured by bad comedy?
Awful comedy should be punishable! In this unique comedy show, comedians perform and the audience decides if they should be PAID cash or administered PAIN by a Dominatrix.
The show opens with our hosts, Jay Nog and Lisa Ann, who warm up the crowd by doing a Q & A, play interactive games with the audience, and give away some sex toys from Fleshlight and Adam and Eve. After they warm up the crowd Jay and Lisa bring on a special guest headlining comedian. Then introduces the house Dominatrix Lady Zombie.
Then the competition begins: five stand-up comedians compete to either get “paid” cash for their performance or receive “pain” from the Dominatrix. If the audience votes for a comedian to receive “pain,” he or she must pick a card from the “Deck of Pain” and the dominatrix will administer whatever the card says: Paddling in Pink Panties, clothes-pin nipple clamp Christmas Tree, cat tail lashings, or one of many others (always with a hearty stock of hot wax on call). In case the comedian can dish it out but can’t take the pain, there is of course a safe-word,
chosen beforehand by YOU, the audience.

A semi finalist in Caroline’s March Madness, Comedian Liz Barrett is now headlining Caroline’s Breakout Artist series.
Liz Barrett’s one liners come fast and furious and her deadpan delivery is one of a kind. She is often called a female Steven Wright; a thinking man’s Roseanne; and her English teacher once told her “she had the humor of Bob Newhart.” Liz grew up all over the world with her military family and now lives in New York City.
She will be at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta in June. She was recently seen in the 2015 Boston Comedy Festival and made her television debut on Gotham Comedy Live.
