March Madness counter programming

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 9th, 2007

Like2Laugh is an entity that is dedicated to “presenting talented comedians from Westchester County and New York City in local venues.quot; Toward that end, they’re producing a clever way to package a lot of comedy into a string of dates at Caroline’s. They are proposing to counter March madness by attempting to crown the March Comedy Madness Champion on four consecutive Tuesdays at Caroline’s.

March 13th – 64 comics 1 minute
March 20th – 32 comics 2 minutes
March 27th – 16 comics 3 minutes, 8 comics 4 minutes
April 3rd – 4 comics 7 minutes, 2 comics 10 minutes

We don’t post on all the contests we hear about, but this one sounds interesting if for no other reason than it keeps it all so… brief! (Brevity is a prime virtue when it comes to contests.) The producers also demonstrate a little bit of imagination by mimicking the bracket scheme of the event they’re counterprogramming!

The entire conflagration will be hosted by Bryan Kennedy and Josh Filipowski and will feature the comedy of Abbi Crutchfield, Amy Schumer, Brad Aldous, Brooklyn Mike, Cerra Cardwell, Chris Jones, Clara Bijl, Colin Kane, Dan Siegel, Daniel Frigolette, Dante Nero, Dave Siegel, David Moore, Duncan Jay, Eric Andre, Eric Reynolds, Erica Watson, Erik Rivera, Evie Aronson, Geno Bisconte, Geoff Kole, Helen Hong, Jay Nog, Jay Servidio, Jeff Cerulli, Jeff Kreisler, Jennifer Hyjack, J-L Cauvin, Joe Dixon, Joe Pontillo, John F. O’Donnell, Julian McCullough, Ken Donnelly, Lance Weiss, Lee Camp, Liz Miele, Liz Simons, Luke Thayer, Matt Gallagher, Matt Goldich, Matt Little, Mike Amato, Mike Bochetti, Mike Bower, Mike Burns, Mike Dobbins, Mike O’Gorman, Mike Trainor, Mike Weingartner, Moody McCarthy, Nate Bargatze, Neil Charles, Nick Cobb, Omar Beer, Pat O’Rourke, Peter Keepnews, Phil Mazo, Ray Gootz, Rome, Ryan Connor, Ryan Reiss, Sasha Guillaume, Vincent Averill and Vincent James!

Tickets are $10 plus a two-drink minimum. (All Access Pass to ALL 4 SHOWS $20!) For reservations call (212)757-4100.

The only thing missing is a brass marching band and a mascot or two. Maybe next year.
