When Comedy Gets Personal….

So last year I said I was sorry to Louis C.K. about an outburst that led to a heated argument with the curmudgeon comedian at a show in Brooklyn. It was this weird interaction with an artist that I generally respect that has left a bizarre impression on me, and apparently it left something with Louis [...]

“Whatever Works” Premiere Kicks Of Tribeca Film Festival 2009!

Last night, “Whatever Works”, Woody Allen’s cinematic return to New York City, opened the Tribeca Film Festival last night. From early reviews, one can assume that Larry David steps into the quintessential neurotic role that Allen is so well known for pitch perfectly.
