Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY

(1/2 block from the Lorimer subway stop of the L)

Tickets are $5. No reservations required.

Brick-a-Brac at The Brick! The monthly variety show that

offers...variety!

This month, Brick-a-Brac is hosted by Eliot Laurence and Stephanie Mnookin of the long-running, alternative comedy show, "GUILE." "'Guile' is the whitest thing on the planet. Whiter than chalk or Hollywood Squares. But much like Chalk or Hollywood Squares when you start

watching Guile you quickly have a boner and a dollop of drool coming out of your smiling mouth." -- Adam McKay, co-writer and director of "Anchorman."

This month's acts:

Trav S.D.

Downtown theatre legend Trav S.D. is back with a batch of songs from the old song bag...including several from "Getting to Now, or It's All Good" his upcoming musical about the Manson Family.

Bad Ass Clown

David Matthew Engel is a writer/performer of silent physical comedy and sketch comedy. His last show was "Bad-Ass Clown III: A Very Special Bad-Ass Clown" (written and performed by David) at the Producer's Club. David is also a member of the sketch group Below the Belt, which performs at The Belt Theatre the second Tuesday of each month.

"There is something wrong with me and they can't figure out what it is."

A rant, a run on sentence, heightened every day chatter between your MRI and your CATscan. Come and get gooey with a reading of "There is something wrong with me and they can't figure out what it is."

Directed by Honor Mosher.

Florence Yoo

Folks keep letting her perform, who knows why? www.florenceyoo.blogspot.com

Clay McLeod Chapman

Clay McLeod Chapman is the creator of the "Pumpkin Pie Show," a rigorous storytelling session backed by its own live soundtrack. He is the author of rest area, a collection of short stories, and "miss corpus," a novel -- both published by Hyperion books.

Dear Everybody,

Please come to this benefit. Julia Cho and Eric Jiaju

Lee have graciously agreed to perform with me. Many

thanks to Ishle and Jeannie on their great efforts to

make this all happen and inviting us to be a part of

it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all who were lost

and all those who loved them, and all those who are in

the midst of this unspeakable tragedy...

Love,

Florence

From super talented Ishle Park:

In the aftermath of the tsunami, over 150,000 people

have died and 5 million more are homeless in Asia. This event is but a small community offering to

sustain ourselves and to try to help others far away.

A silent auction and raffle will be held and informational brochures will be available. Bring your friends, your heart, and your wallet, and make your own small offering.

**ALL proceeds will go directly to non-profit

organizations helping with tsunami relief.****

Low, low, way east, east side...

Tix are 15 bucks and make reservations @ (212) 340-1962

Here are the particulars from

*AWESOME* Kira Onodera:

"The Crease Question" is about an hour long, with a lovely opening act by my pal Florence Yoo. A very talented singer, songwriter, comic and all around cool Asian chic that rocks! My stuff is kind of sad and funny and all written and performed by me! A little help from Ali Costine and Luis Vega on my ranting and raving piece about working in the restaurant biz..Bring your friends, please. There is only one woman in this darn thing, I need to fill the seats.

From Florence: I've seen excerpts from the show -- it's HOT ! HOT! HOT! Beautifully written/performed and directed by the multi-talented ONODERA! Come on by, yo! Muchas gracias in advance, Amigas/Amigos!
