Thursdays are the highlight of my week. Besides being one day away from the weekend, it's also, the night of 'Big Terrific', a weekly comedy show, at Soundfix Lounge in Williamsburg. I've been to the show four or five times so far and have yet to be disappointed. A really awesome thing about 'Big Terrific' is that it's always different. At last night's show, Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate, two of the three hosts of 'Big Terrific', opened the night with a hilarious skit about the miscommunication of their love for each other, and, then, Jenny did her boring tunes, where weren't boring at all but so comically riveting that they demanded an encore from the audience, and Gabe riled up the boys by telling jokes for the men in the room (as long as the guys in the audience were M4M). The Gabe and Jenny duo had a real chemistry that was hard to deny, but as solo acts they were super cool too. The third host, Max Silvestri, did an act accompanied by short movies, photos and other assorted media. Everything that he put on the projector, accentuated by his witty commentary made me laugh.
Each week there are usually four to six comedians who perform. Last night's lineup was as follows: Arj Barker, Gabriel Delahaye, Noah Garfinkel and Anthony Jeselink. Each one did a great job at perpetuating the funny-bone vibe that kept me and the audience laughing. Big Terrific also does justice to women comedians, like Jenny Slate, who never fails to make me feel like I'm not actually, the most vulgar girl in the room. All in all, I'm addicted and it's better than crack (almost...). I'll probably be there next Thursday, hope to see you there!
