Reggie Watts Live at Third Man Records 12/2

from ThirdManRecords.com:
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a one Mr. Reggie Watts come Thursday, December 2nd at Third Man Live for our first full night of comedy in our live venue. Reggie is off the “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour” with the venerable Conan O’Brien, and just this past spring released his comedy performance CD/DVD “Why $#!+ So Crazy?” on Comedy Central Records.

Reggie is coming into town for one night and one night only to bring an evening of wild and unpredictable comedic performance, brilliant social commentary, and other assorted improvised behavior. Oh yes, and did we mention Reggie also possesses what can only be described as the finest and most magnificent mass of raven locks ever to adorn the stage?!

Reggie Watts at Third Man Live will be recorded directly to analog reel to reel tape in our live venue and be available for purchase to all those in attendance. Only patrons of the event will have the opportunity to purchase a very limited edition Black and Blue split color vinyl of the show. Get your ticket stamped at the door, then hop around to the shop to pre-order your LIVE record of the show you just saw for a cool $20.

You can pick up your event tickets starting Monday, November 29th at the Third Man Records shop. Tickets $5.

Comics Come Home @ Zanies (wed, 11/24)

As long as I can remember, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving has been a Nashville comedians’ homecoming show. Many of the comics out on the road who call Nashville home, or at least have family here, come back to the place they got their start for one show only – a showcase style line-up of the guys (and ladies) who came up through the open mics, starting getting work.. and at some point hit the road to do comedy full time.

It’s always a fantastic show. It’s always an awesome audience. Nobody has to wake up early the next day and go to work. Everybody is in a great mood. Everybody has a ball.

If you’re a local comic, here’s your invitation: come hang out and watch this show. Meet the guys who did what you’re trying to do. Maybe they can help you. Maybe you can learn something. Maybe you’ll get to be in the lineup of this show someday.

If you’re a comedy fan, here’s a great way to catch up with the funny people you may have seen develop their acts on Zanies’ stage and move on to bigger successes on television and other stages around the world.

As a comic myself, I’m thankful for the stage time. I’m thankful for the older comics who have tolerated me, helped me, encouraged me, busted my balls, told me when I sucked, gave me tags, gave me advice and made me laugh. I’m thankful we can all come back together every year for this show.
