Shows 'n shorts abound ye faithful!
Due to technical difficulties, we're sending out this low res, analog newsletter. I know, you're used that sleek digital affair ew usually mail out. It couldn't be helped however. Carol's emailing wrist is acting up and my video-linking knees blew out last week. Aging is tough.
So here is it folks. You have two great shows to make it to this week and some fun videos courtesy of DAW.
1. Tonight is the premier of Shoot the Messenger with Lizz Winstead.
It's a satirical wrap-up of the week’s news from the brain of Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead. A live sketch-comedy show incorporating multi-media elements, it gives you the world as seen through the filters of the fictional producers and on-air talent at “24/7” – the worst twenty-four hour cable news network that fiction has to offer.
There will be indictment, both hilarious and scathing - not only of the newsmakers, but of the news media that molds them. Shoot The Messenger will give the audience a glimpse into the behind the scenes decision making at a news network, and the process that brings those decisions to the air.
Of course not everyone in the media gets a flogging; those who are doing great work will be celebrated. Each week Lizz’ll interview a media figure who digs deep and gets it right. They’ll give us the lowdown on the big stories that were buried (or ignored) by our pals of the corporate run media. We’re proud to kick off this segment at our July 9th show with our favorite radio talk show host, Air American Rachel Maddow, and NYU professor, author and media watch dog Mark Crispin Miller
The writers, actors and producers of Shoot The Messenger come from Air America Radio, The Daily Show, and Drink At Work. They represent some of the best political comics and writers working today.

SHOOT THE MESSENGER

$10
ACE OF CLUBS
underneath ACME restaurant
9 Great Jones St

2. As always, every Tuesday night brings you the best of NYC stand up, sketch, and short flims with Time Out New York's CRITIC'S PICK "The Drink At Work Show" (with Sean and Carol)
Due to overlapped bookings and exhaustion however, Carol and Sean are unable to attend their own damn show this week and are handing over the reigns to the very hilarious Matt McCarthy and Lucas Held. And sadly, we had to bid a temporary (we hope!) farewell to long time host and good pal Craig Baldo currently halogen lamping it up at an advertising firm in Portland, Oregon where he is working on the Nike account. Swoosh, Craig. Swoosh.

AND IF YOU'VE GOTTA A HANKER FOR A HUNK OF SHORT FILMS:
1. Continuing off what has been called by several random viewers--and we're paraphrasing here, though closely--the "best iPhone related sketch out of the thousands of iPhone sketches recently released," Sean and Shark Show pal Dan Gaba reprise their roles from last week's original...
...as Sean and Zod, stuck together in what is apparently a Phantom Zone-compatible iPhone. This week and next, three more installments featuring a "kneeling-obsessed" Zod will be released at DOTCOMEDY.com.
2. And if you're in the mood for an old-timey "Sean Crespo Will Teach You Vlogging" vlog, then the recently posted ALL TALENT SHAME JAM detailing Sean's many failed attempts to get into Juilliard should fill you with shaudenfraude... and jam:
And stay tuned later this summer for a whole new batch of original sketches that Carol and I have been cooking up for comedynet.com. Starting in August, every month for at least three months, we'll be releasing four or more new videos shot lovingly in 24 p and rendered with exquisite charm and cheek by some of NYC's finest comedy artists.
