TODD BARRY PROTESTING EUGENE MIRMAN

"To commemorate the release of Eugene Mirman's new stand up album & DVD, En Garde, Society!, Eugene organized a mock protest against himself at Union Square in Manhattan. It drew over 50 protesters, who gleefully chanted caustic anti-Mirman slogans as they followed Eugene down the street to a nearby bar. Here is a photo narrative of the events that transpired." [Comedy Central Blog]

Even more @ Dan Dickinson's Weblog & The Apiary

"...help him protest himself tonight. Along with The Onion, Mirman has coordinated the event in which he will gather in solidarity with YOU, yes you. Protest signs will be provided, though you can also make your own (here are some examples). There will be yelling and marching and likely some laughing...eventually you'll end up at Beauty Bar for the screening of the DVD, where you can also unwind from the protest with some drinks and music (spun by a special guest deejay. Showalter?)." [Gothamist]

Random Eugene Mirman Encounter
Eugene Mirman signs to Sub Pop | Playing Pianos (tix)

Late Friday night (Sept 23, 2005) I was walking down 11th Street in Manhattan when I came upon a camera crew outside Rififi. They were filming recent Sub Pop-signee Eugene Mirman who actually performs at Rififi almost every Wednesday night (the "Invite them Up" show). He was talking about his love for the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. I assume it was for the DVD the Trachtenburgs are making. As usual, every word coming out of Eugene's mouth was hilarious. I snapped the photo with my phone.

"It's true, Eugene Mirman has signed to sub pop records. He will be recording a live comedy album for us in the fall. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, it will be funny and lovers of comedy worldwide will have their stomachs filled with laugther and joy. If you don't understand what this means, get the net and click the link below." [Sub Pop]

October 23rd and 24th count as the Fall, so it's likely you'll be laughing on the CD if you go to one of his shows at Pianos on those dates. Tickets on sale.

Indie Comedians | As Seen in the NY Post

Eugene Mirman has a special voice because it makes me laugh no matter what he says. I just have to imagine him reading his latest e-mail update (which isn't hard becacuse he often reads letters on stage as part of his act) and I start cracking up.

He just updated his website with lots of new videos, so go watch him if you haven't heard/seen him yet. Then continue reading for his latest news and tour dates (including some with the Hold Steady)....

Eugene Mirman is probably my favorite comedian right now. (not that I've really seen enough of them to make that statement). There are some MP3s and videos on his site, but the best is seeing him live...

"Celebrating three years of Invite Them Up, their acclaimed east village comedy/ variety show, Eugene Mirman and Bobby Tisdale are recording an album for Comedy Central Records. With various guests over three nights, the tapings will feature many of the people who have made Invite Them Up a good time.

Guests include: Slovin and Allen, Demetri Martin, A.D. Miles, Michael Showalter and Zach Orth, David Cross, Leo Allen, Benjamin and Glazer, Heather Lawless, Jessi Klien, Patrick Borelli, God’s Pottery, Jon Glaser, Langhorne Slim, Marcellus Hall, Aziz Ansari, Tom McCaffery, Todd Barry, Craig Wedren, Amy Miles and Shonali Bhomik, Mike Birbiglia, Andy Blitz and more."
