Janeane Garofalo, Myq Kaplan Join The First Downtown Variety of 2017
Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour will kick off the new year at UCB Theatre East Village on Monday, January 2, at 8 PM. As usual, host Nat Towsen (VICE, Nickelodeon) combines the disappearing, eclectic lower Manhattan culture in which he grew up (around the corner from the theatre, in fact) with interviews, informative presentations, and the best of the NYC underground comedy scene.
This month's Downtown Variety features two standup acts by comedians Janeane Garofalo (Wet Hot American Summer, Broad City) and Myq Kaplan (Netflix special, CONAN). In the monthly "Downtown History" segment, Towsen will interview Sarah Murphy, Director of Development at Coalition For The Homeless. And in "NYC Trivia," audience members can win free pizza and comics from sponsors Two Boots and Forbidden Planet. Brewery Ommegang, another sponsor, will provide free beer to audience members at the bar while supplies last.
Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour takes place at 8 PM on Monday, January 2, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre East Village, 153 East 3 Street, Manhattan, NY 10009. Admission costs $7 and patrons of all age are welcome (those 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult). Tickets are available in advance at bit.ly/NTDVH43
