DOWNTOWN VARIETY HOUR Continues Fourth Year at at UCB Theatre East Village
Nat Towsen's Downtown Variety Hour continues the fourth year of its run at UCB Theatre East Village on Monday, July 11, at 8 PM. 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 alt-comedy scene. The show features native luminaries as well as a few welcome New York transplants.
This month's Downtown Variety features comedian and actor Janeane Garofalo (Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp), comedian Greg Barris (Roommates, Heart of Darkness), and a live comics reading from cartoonist Jeremy Nguyen (Brooklyn Magazine, Stranger Than Bushwick). In the monthly "Downtown History" segment, Towsen will be joined by popular NYC History podcasters The Bowery Boys. 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, July 11, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre East Village, 153 East 3 Street, Manhattan, NY 10009. Admission costs $5 and patrons of all age are welcome (those 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult). Tickets will be available in advance at bit.ly/NTDVH37
