Kids 'N Comedy to Present 'The New Year's Resolution Show,' 1/15

Kids 'N Comedy, New York's leading presenter of young comic talent, will present "The New Year's Resolution Show," a one-of-a-kind show of original standup material by teenage comedians, January 15 at Gotham Comedy Club, 208 West 23rd Street.

A new year means it's time for new beginnings and a renewed sense of hope for the future. It also means it's time to start making promises to yourself you'll never, ever keep.  By mid-January, you've already fallen short, but you can at least remember the resolutions you aren't keeping.  Funny, isn't it?  Not to your parents, who never seem to understand these lapses.  So Kids 'N Comedy decided to dedicate its January 15 show to the whole phenomenon, featuring Conor Williams, Charley Bardey, David Thompson, Jake Sidransky, Daniel Laitman, Andrew Vatier and more.

Kids 'N Comedy presents monthly shows at Gotham Comedy Club with a turntable of talented teens and 'tweens from the tri-state area.  In the company's shows, each comic performs his/her own material, which is screened to be free of profanity and abrasive or cheap "low" humor (like fart jokes).  They do, however, venture into edgy comic terrain:  politics, getting old, even death.  Laura Weiss wrote in Big Apple Parent, "This kid humor is quirky and often slightly mordant, with a sophistication that belies the comedians' youth.  Plus, these kids are hilarious."

The show is at 1:00 PM; the reservations number is 212-877-6115 and online ticketing is available on the Kids 'N Comedy website,www.kidsncomedy.com.
