Invite Them Up

Numerous comedians are reporting (supposedly not as jokes) that unless someone swoops in and buys it or something, NYC club Rififi will be (despite their plans to continue) closing at the end of February. The last Invite Them Up will be held at Rififi on February 27th. Trash, I Like Attention, “Totally J/K with Joe and Noah“, At Night with Gabe and Jenny, Starshine Burlesque, Sweet and Nasty Burlesque and The Greg Johnson show will also be without a home.

This comes just a few months after Mo Pitkins closed – another East Village home to regular comedy and burlesque shows.
