Last Call for Unitard at Joe's Pub

Facebook invite HERE.

The comedy trio Unitard -- Nora Burns, David Ilku and Mike Albo -- will close out their residency at Joe's Pub on Wednesday (July 26) at 7 p.m., with the final performance of "Tard Core: There Are No Safe Words." The set is littered with all sorts of hilarious topical bits about politics, gender, glasses of wine that cost more than a bottle and the hyper-gentrification of the city. Read my review from May HERE -- the show's a riot! -- and buy tickets now HERE!

Unitard Returns to Joe's Pub on June 28

Mike Albo (front), David Ilku and Nora Burns

I caught the premiere performance of NYC comedy trio Unitard's residency at Joe's Pub -- Tard Core: There Are No Safe Words -- in May and strongly recommend you get your ass over to Joe's Pub for the June 28 followup. (Final performance on July 28.) The set is littered with all sorts of hilarious topical bits about politics, gender, glasses of wine that cost more than a bottle and the hyper-gentrification of the city. What makes Unitard's brand of humor so perfect is that they're just as willing to poke fun at blasé New Yorkers who swear the city was "so much better" when you had to risk being murdered every time you left the house to buy a quart of milk as they are people who moved here (because of "Sex and the City") and are willing to wait in line for four hours for a $22 cake pop. I'm a big fan of Mike Albo having seen his brilliant one-man shows "The Junket" and "Spermhood" and Nora Burns from her critically acclaimed (and heartrending) "David's Friend." But it's bonus 'tard David Ilku (a member of the Dueling Bankheads with whom I was not as familiar) who all but steals the show with his Home Shopping Network bit, which stings harder than a regrettable impulse purchase featuring Dr. Sebagh's patented melon extract you made at 3 in the morning after a bad breakup.

Unitard Returns to Joe's Pub on May 31

David Ilku, Nora Burns and Mike Albo

I caught the premiere performance of NYC comedy trio Unitard's residency at Joe's Pub -- Tard Core: There Are No Safe Words -- earlier this month and strongly suggest you head on over for the May 31 followup. (Additional performances on June 28 and July 26.) The set is littered with all sorts of hilarious topical bits about politics, gender, $12 avocado toast and the hyper-gentrification of the city. What makes their brand of humor so perfect is that they're just as willing to poke fun at blasé New Yorkers who swear the city was "so much better" when you had to risk being murdered every time you left the house to buy a quart of milk as they are people who moved here (because of "Sex and the City") and are willing to wait in line for four hours for [insert latest idiotic fad here]. I'm a big fan of Mike Albo having seen his brilliant one-man shows "The Junket" and "Spermhood" and Nora Burns from her critically acclaimed (and heartrending) "David's Friend." But it's bonus 'tard David Ilku (a member of the Dueling Bankheads with whom I was not as familiar) who steals the show with his Home Shopping Network bit, which stings harder than a regrettable impulse purchase featuring Dr. Sebagh's patented melon extract you made at 3 in the morning after a bad breakup.

Unitard Kicks Off Joe's Pub Residency on Wednesday

The comedy trio Unitard kicks off a four-week gig at Joe's Pub on Wednesday, guaranteed to be the antidote to these times that ail us. These "arbiters of biting bitchiness and snappy satire" were in rare form when I saw them at the Stonewall Inn in 2015, but promise even higher highs and lower lows as we cross the 100-day mark into "reality" government. Made up of the combined talents of Mike Albo (who had me in hysterics with "The Junket" and "Spermhood"), Nora Burns (fresh off her critically acclaimed run of her moving "David's Friend") and David Ilku (member of the Dueling Bankheads), you'd have to be the biggest stick in the mud to not have a fun time at this shindig. I'll be there opening night. Get your tickets HERE.
