That’s right! – One of New York City’s best comedy shows, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!, is becoming a movie!
Here is a special message from the creator of the show, Liam McEneaney:
“HEY GANG;
You read that right. For the next two Mondays, TYF! at Lolita will go dark as we gear up for the filming of our first ever concert movie experience.
We are finally going to capture everything you have loved about our little basement show in one major motion picture.
Some of your favorite performers will be on-hand to film their acts; KURT BRAUNOHLER & KRISTEN SCHAAL, REGGIE WATTS, CHRISTIAN FINNEGAN, LEO ALLEN, ROB PARAVONIAN, and our house band A BRIEF VIEW OF THE HUDSON. And as usual, your humble host will be LIAM McENEANEY
You're going to get event invites as soon as Facebook stops being a jerk.
I know the name of the show is usually a suggestion, but for this show we're going to need as great of a crowd as possible to both fill the room and support with the kind of good energy and positive vibery that has made you guys one of the favorite audiences for some of the biggest names in comedy.
In a way, YOU will be the biggest star of the movie. Specifically, in the way that doesn't pay you residuals. So please, please, come yourself and don't forget to forward this via e-mail, to post this on Facebook, to Tweet it, and to TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
Thank you for your years of support. Here's to many many more years together.
- LIAM McENEANEY”

LIVE Pamela Martinez from Teletextile! She plays the harp, guitar, piano, and I don't know what else.
Teletextile is the product of Pamela Martinez's introspective songwriting, mixed with an explorative and melodic rhythm section comprised of Luke Schneider's (drums, banjo, vocals) and Caitlin Gray (bass, guitar, Wurlitzer, vocals). Pamela's songs, along with her unbridled vocal ability and harp playing, captivate listeners from first note to last. Once a five piece band, Teletextile has been refined to a trio, but still retain their rich, layered sound thanks to the band's multi-instrumental abilities. Teletextile has a sound like nobody else, and a live show to never forget.
Pamela will be joined by the always awesome, Jessica Delfino.
Hi there,

The entire cast reunited for the first time since the original show!
After Party with guest DJ Hip hop legend PRINCE PAUL!
Join us at Comix as we celebrate the DVD release of the new Comedy Central special, "The Awkward Comedy Show," with performances by the special's director/producer/headliner VICTOR VARNADO, the ENTIRE CAST, and special SURPRISE GUESTS, as well as an afterparty DJ'ed by HIP-HOP LEGEND PRINCE PAUL.
"The Awkward Comedy Show" is a special that showcases stereotype-shattering African-American comedians of a different hue; comedians who are more likely to talk about video games than booty; comedians who are more interested in Simon & Garfunkel than Smith & Wesson; comedians who are likely to drop The N-Word - if that word is "Nerdy." TACS airs on Comedy Central on April 9th.
