The Drink At Work Show is moving to Rififi

One of the best comedy shows in New York City is retiring after a glorious four year run. I speak of course of Giant Tuesday Night Of Amazing Inventions And Also There Is A Game.

Good night, sweet princes (and princess) of comedy. We will take good care of your throne, which ever awaits your return.

(NOTE: That was a metaphor. There isn't really a throne waiting for you.)

If you'd like to learn more about the geniuses behind GTN, check out this Vidocity clip:

While we at Drink At Work will miss the boys and girl(no "s") of GTN dearly, not least because those are some big shoes to fill (size Awesome and 1/2 US, in the UK, size Brilliant and 3/5), we are also honored to have their support and blessings as we take charge of the sexy, sexy Tuesday 8pm slot at Rififi. Oh, it's so damn sexy. I just wanna...take it out for a dinner made of boxed wine and trail mix and then get all up in its back room (if you know what I'm sayin') and make sweet but sour love to it.

Rififi, I love you, baby. Don't cry. GTN will be back someday. Just not...together. Oh baby! Don't cry! Please, baby. I love you. Don't cry. Ok, really, come on baby. Baby. BABY! Hey! Knock it off. Stop. Come on. Stop crying. Do it.

I said don't cry.

There. That wasn't so tough. You know I love you, baby, yeah? Awrrright. Yeeeeah. You and me and a box of wine makes three. Let's get it going on.

AND NOW ONTO LESS DISTURBING THINGS:
Our venue, until the end of December, remains the Ace of Clubs (on Great Jones @ Lafayette underneath ACME restaurant), which we will miss very much come January. The staff there has been nothing but supportive and loving to us. We thank them for the opportunity afforded us and will continue to work with them on one-offs, readings, and other special comedy shows throughout the years. Thank you, Bill, George, Paul, and Melody. We love you.

But now to the business of building for the future, our future, the Drinking At Work future: If you live in the NYC area, please come down to the new and improved Drink At Work Show, featuring the country's best mix of up-and-coming as well as established talent. Come, help us help you help us...help you.

Just help. Because starting in January, we're taking back the night, Tuesday night. Not that it was ever ours, but well, we used to be on Monday nights and that's not a good night for comedy, so we really feel like we're owed Tuesday. So we're taking it. Back. That night. We're taking it back.

Shut up.

STOP JUDGING US!

ahem.

And now to celebrate in a completely unrelated fashion, let's all watch the trailer for HALO WARS.
