Who's On First... and Hope?
Submitted by Beth Lapides on Tue, 05/01/2012 - 16:24
Here's a conversation I've had a lot lately.
Fan: Hey I hear the Uncab is back. That's so exciting!
Beth: Thanks! It's been amazing.
Fan: Where is it again?
Beth: Great room called First and Hope.
Fan: But where is that?
Beth:First and Hope.
Fan: I know that's the name, but where is it?
Beth: First and Hope!
Fan: And where is that exactly?
Beth: The corner of First and Hope.
Fan: But who's on First?

This swanky restaurant has a secret back room, feels so cozy.
Not a bad seat in the house.
Comfortable seats for uncomfortable times!
This is the entrance. When you enter we entrance you.
You walk through the room, take a left and through curtain and the big glass door, you fall through a rabbit hole into magic....
Thank you: Half Price Tickets

HALF PRICE AUDIENCE APPRECIATION NIGHT!
In interviews about the Un-Cabaret I get asked a lot about the comedians and the venues, about its storied history, about my own comedy. I get asked about Un-Cabaret's place in the comedy world. About why I've integrated music into the show. But one big piece of the puzzle I don't get asked about is the audience.
And the Un-Cabaret audience is a big part of who we are.
New performers almost always mention what a great crowd you are. Open minded, willing to go there, enthusiastic, smart. You have an eye for the authentic and love your favorites while being open to new talent. You are friendly. You are fans. You are awake.
I absolutely could not have re-opened and re-imagined the show without you.
To thank you I've arranged for half price tickets this Sunday! Use the promo code: thankyou
Great line up: Jen Kirkman, Jill Sobule, Brendan McGowan, The Distbowl Revival, Pete Holmes.

Don't Passover the Un-Cabaret This Easter Sunday We Rise Again!
Submitted by Beth Lapides on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 13:25
For some reason it escaped me until now that at Easter kids look for hidden eggs and at Passover kids look for hidden matzoh. Made me realize how much about birth, and rebirth is about revealing the hidden - the chick from the egg, the child from the womb, the story from the laughter - and the music from the silence. Great line up this week including Taylor Negron who is one of the very Original Uncabbers and living in New York so making a very rare appearance...So after the family festivities are over come to your home away from home and decompress, revitalize and prepare to unhide yourself this spring!
EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 8

11 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Telling A Story
Submitted by Beth Lapides on Wed, 04/04/2012 - 11:57
1. Do I care about this story? Just because something seems like it "should" be a good story doesn't mean it is a good story. And just because something is a good story doesn't mean it's a story that you want to tell. And just because you want to tell that story in general, doesn't mean you want to tell that story on any given night. So ask yourself, is this story in my heart right now?
