Guest Comics Announced for The Hit Monthly Comedy Show S.U.C.K.

The popular stand-up comedy show, S.U.C.K. (Stand Up Comedy Klub), returns to The Mockingbird Bar in the East Village on Saturday, October 21 at 8:00 pm. The monthly show has been playing to packed houses for the past year and features comics from Gotham Comedy Club, Funny or Die, UCB, The Wild Project, Del Close Marathon, NY Sketchfest, and Joe's Pub.

S.U.C.K. is composed of six of NYC's most intriguing comics, performers, and weirdos: including Hank Browning (Funny or Die, Broadway Comedy Club), Samantha Fontana (F'd in the East Village, Gotham), Gregory Lotsvin (Funny or Die, Broadway Comedy Club), Shane O'Neill (Tonight's Special, Characters Welcome at UCB), Jill Pangallo (Joe's Pub, Gotham), and David Perez (Shade at Steppenwolf, David on Demand).

Special guests include Anthony Devito (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and Ryan Donahue (Jimmy Kimmel Live).

With a broad range of perspective, styles, and levels of depression, S.U.C.K. creates a show as diverse as New York City itself except that they only feature one person of color. But they DO have two half-jews, an adopted person, a gay gentleman who's occasionally mistaken for trans, and a white dude who can grow an afro.

Performances take place at The Mockingbird Bar (between East 2nd and 3rd Streets), 25 Avenue B, New York 10009. Subways: J/Z/M to Delancey-Essex Street.

Tickets are $5.00 and are available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/suck-presents-boo-tickets-38609296445

Doors open at 7:30 pm, no drink minimum.
