Horse Trade Announces The Skinny, New Monthly Show at The Kraine

In the tradition of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Skinny is a comedy talk show about news, current events and politics, but with a twist: The host, Peter DeGiglio, is just an average guy who reads the paper, watches the news and struggles to wrap his head around the events that shape our city, our nation and our world. In other words, he's got about as much figured out as you do... which doesn't say much for either of you, really.

The Skinny combines topical comedy and wacky variety acts with poignant conversations and will feature a special guest panel of high-profile pop, cult, and literary and political figures. Not only will you see Peter sit down and discuss everything from murder trials to political bickering with folks in the know, but the night is also filled with special music and comedy acts guaranteed to satisfy your hunger to be entertained! Unless you've got some kind of an entertainment tapeworm, then I'm afraid we can't help you.

And, always, joining Peter will be his funky sidekick DJ April White, who was recently featured of Beatport's Top 100! iamaprilwhite.com

"I loved being a part of The Skinny with Peter DeGiglio!! Political conversation, humor, lively audience, with good music thrown in. A blast!" Sally Kohn, Movement Vision Lab

"At Peter DeGiglio's live political comedy show The Skinny I had a hell out of a lot of fun talking about some really terrible things. If you recognize that our society is crumbling before our eyes but would rather laugh about it than hide out alone in an underground bunker definitely check out this show." Rusty Ward, BarelyPolitical.com

The Skinny will be performed on the first Wednesday of every month at 8pm in The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Ave and Bowery) beginning Wednesday, September 7. Tickets ($10) may be purchased online at www.horseTRADE.info or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444.
