Tonight! Go check out if you're in NYC...

From Liam McEneaney:

This is it folks; the final call, the last reminder. This coming Monday the East Village will play host to one of the finest collection of comedians in its storied history; indeed, if I was a lousy Yankees beat-writer for the Post, I'd call this Monday's lineup "a modern day Murderers' Row."

I was walking around Brooklyn the other night, wondering why this tour is freaking me out a little bit, and I realized that it's because I have not been away from New York City for a month-and-a-half since I was a little kid going to summer camp 20 YEARS AGO. I've traveled to work or whatever, but I've always come home. (I am excited though; I have three days off after my show in Glasgow, and I realized it was actually cheaper to fly into France than back to London, so I guess I'm going to Paris for a few days. If anyone knows anything good to do there, please drop me a line.)

Anyways, please come say goodbye. I really am going to miss all of youse knuckleheads:
