NYC comedy duo Wrestling Team (aka Mark Bisi and Andy Beckerman) do a live taping of their Beginnings interview podcast at UCBEast on the second Tuesday of every month, and new episodes premiere every Thursday (listen for free on iTunes). This month’s live taping, which is TONIGHT (9/11) at UCBEast, will feature Mark and Andy talking to Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show and Air America Radio) and David Rees (Get Your War On, How to Sharpen Pencils), and the musical guest will be New Pornographer AC Newman. $5 tickets for tonight’s show are available.

Tonight’s show happens about a month before AC Newman begins his tour with The Mynabirds which comes to NYC on October 22 at Bowery Ballroom (tickets) and October 24 at Maxwell’s (tickets). Newman’s new album, Shut Down the Streets, is out October 9.

Meanwhile, you can also catch Lizz Winstead in NYC when she brings her Free Or Die book tour to Brooklyn’s Galapagos Art Space on September 24 (tickets) and Manhattan’s 92YTribeca on October 3 (tickets). She’ll also do her ‘Bang The Dumb Slowly: The Year In Politics’ show at Gramercy Theatre on November 5, the day before Election Day. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

David Rees has other upcoming NYC appearances too. He’ll be coming to Union Hall on September 19 and 20. The 9/19 show is a free ‘Comedians With Books’ show with Janeane Garofalo, which is part of the Brooklyn Book Festival, and the 9/20 show is a ‘Librarian Olympics’ show, which tickets are on sale for. David will also do a BCRG-presented show this week a bit outside of NYC at Beacon, NY’s Hudson Valley Auctioneers on September 15 with Bobby Tisdale (writer for Late NIght with JImmy Fallon among other things), Beth Hoyt, and musical guest Eleanor Friedberger. The Beacon, NY show is Eleanor’s only upcoming show at the moment.
