Comedy

Two comedians walk into a Sunnyside bar…and a stand-up series is born. Local humorists Colin Samuel (above) and Lindsay Goldwert (pictured after the jump) have recently committed to producing at least two shows a month and bringing New York City’s best up-and-coming talent to the neighborhood. Dubbed “Puttin’ on the Bliss,” these acts will take place every other week at The Dog and Duck Gastropub and once a month at Marlene Tavern, host of the next performance on Tuesday night. In addition to Goldwert and Samuel, joke purveyors will include May Wilkerson (The Stand Comedy Club), Oni Francis (The Creek and the Cave), McCarton Ackerman (Make Me Laugh Festival), Aalap Patel (MTV2), and Liz Barrett (Gotham Comedy Club, She-Devil Comedy Festival). Unless otherwise indicated, the shows will be free and they’ll feature prizes that encourage patrons to shop and eat in Sunnyside.
