[TOP PICK] 8:00 pm ($5): From a comic Time Out New York says delivers “categorically pitch- perfect one-man comedy” comes this one-man show: “When Ryan Paulson moved to New York City he was a husky boy. And he’d never had sex. Even with himself. How did this happen? Well, he grew up speaking in tongues in an ultra-conservative, fundamentalist church. But now he’s taking a crash course in sex, alcohol and self-pleasure. And it’s going pretty well…other than regularly being condemned to hell on MySpace:” Ryan Paulson: I’m Uncomfortable
[TOP PICK] [FREE] 8:30 pm: Lightning-fast & thoroughly hilarious Pete Holmes (one of the very best stand-ups in the country; Comedy Central Presents, The Daily Show, VH1’s Best Week Ever, The New Yorker, brilliant host of hit show Punch Up Your Life and Gutbucket), wonderful and eternally inventive Leo Allen (former writer for Saturday Night Live; Comedy Central Presents, Conan O’Brien, upcoming HBO series Funny or Die, brilliant host of top comedy show Whiplash), Ali Wong (hilarious & fearless human dynamo stand-up), and Kevin Barnett (stand-up from Florida) performing at a free weekly comedy show at Brooklyn’s Cameo (behind Lovin’ Cup) hosted by Max Silvestri: Big Terrific
