March 7, 2006: Banned to Siberia and The Village Lantern

Ashley Strand, host of Banned to Siberia, an open mic that runs every Tuesday at 7:00pm at Siberia on 40th St./9th Ave (red light over a black door). Ashley is an incredibly charming, intelligent host and he runs a good room. As of yet, this show is not well-attended and, frankly, I don't think enough comedians are taking advantage of it's potential as a workout room. You truly never know what you're going to get here, but it's always memorable to say the least. This show deserves to find an audience (and more performers).
