Last night’s edition of The Jukebox was the best yet. OMG so. much. fun. Regretfully I didn’t get pictures of everyone because it was jam packed! But here are the crappy ipod photos that I did manage to virtually snap. Giulia Rozzi totes sang one of my fave karaoke songs — the epic “Like a Prayer” — the gay man inside me will always love some Madonna. So fun that Ted Leo surprise dueted with Joe Randazzo on the Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York.” Julie Klausner’s story and version of “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” by the Police made me laugh SO LOUD that some girl kept turning around and giving me a stare each time I guffawed. Sorry, my laughter is one thing that I cannot control. I learned something new about Kurt Braunohler and puppets and that he actually doesn’t sing all that bad, even when tackling “Anything Anything” by Dramarama. Jukebox co-founder Margaret Lyons’ story made me empathize so much, and just love her natural sense of humor and how she got the audience to sing that part in Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” that goes like “wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh” (you know) throughout her story. Oh, and Mike Doughty doin’ it well with LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out.” Good job, The Other Steve in hosting a great night! Made me forget to eat dinner, it was so delicious.

The Jukebox combines two of my favorite things in the world — comedy and karaoke. How can you go wrong? You can’t. Sing it. This month’s theme is the ’90s!
Monday, October 3
7:30pm Doors / $5
@ Union Hall
Karaoke and comedy collide at THE JUKEBOX, a monthly performance series uniting comedians, writers, storytellers and actors around a shared fondness for karaoke. Everyone on the line-up performs something inspired by a song — be it stand-up, a story, or a written piece — then sings that song karaoke. Performers choose their own songs based on the theme for that month’s show; each one is a type of playlist or mixtape, and the theme for this edition is “The ’90s.” THE JUKEBOX is a comedy-karaoke hybrid, blending The Moth, Hot Tub, and Union Hall’s own Karaoke Killed The Cat.
Featuring:
CHRIS GETHARD (The Chris Gethard Show)
CAROLINE CREAGHEAD (producer, Eugene Mirman Comedy Fest)
MIKE LAWRENCE (John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Special)
MARGARET LYONS (New York Magazine)
And a special guest MIKE DOUGHTY who’ll be bringin’ it.
