"It takes a Village" (Slovin and Allen)
One more Christmas Eve entertainment option: Chanukomedy @ 92YTribeca. Todd Levin, Amy Schumer, Rachel Feinstein, Joe Mande and Leo Allen will all be there to entertain jou (get it? you + jew = ... that's why I'm not on the bill..).
It will be the second night in a row Leo Allen is part of a funny Hanukkah event. Last night (12/23), he and his partner Slovin were the comedian openers at the Yo La Tengo show at Maxwell's. They came on after Marc Ribot and John Zorn did their thing. To quote Tim, "Slovin and Allen discussed news of the day, gave synopses of two Hillary and two Obama books and were pretty funny."
You can catch Leo Allen every Monday night at the UCB Theatre in NYC. He hosts the show called Whiplash. More Hanukkah pictures below...

that 9/11 schtick looks like a real hoot.

That Whiplash show every Monday is great. Not only is it free, you get to see some awesome comedy. Past few weeks/months, Jim Gaffigan, Arj Barker, Aziz Ansari, Pete Holmes, Hannibal Burress, Pete Holmes, Todd Barry and Zach Galiafinakis have all stopped by. I attended every week until I had to move away from the city.
