MYCARL PRODUCTIONS, in association with KAMPFIRE FILMS and FRIGID New York @ Horse Trade, is pleased to present the once monthly comedy performance of No, I'M the Worst!!!, created and hosted by Kevin R. Free. On Monday, April 24th, Jeff Hiller (UCB Theatre; "Nightcap" on POP TV), Marissa Grajeda Gonzalez and Cristina Pitter join Kevin on stage at the Kraine Theater (85 E 4th St.). $20 tickets are available at http://www.mycarl.org/no-im-the-worst.
In three rounds, three storytellers compete to tell the most ribald, raunchy, true tales about failure, love, loss and - of course - bodily functions, hoping to be named The Worst in the room. It's a storytelling competition with a trashy twist. Come for the redemption; stay for the schadenfreude.
Tickets are $20 and are now available online at http://www.mycarl.org/no-im-the-worst. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the theater ½ hour prior to performance. Use the code THEWORST for a deep discount. Doors at 7:00, Show at 7:30.
Running Time: 75 minutes

MYCARL PRODUCTIONS is the artistic collaboration between Eevin Hartsough and Kevin R. Free. The term 'MyCarl' was born when Kevin and Eevin (whose names rhyme) each realized that the other was partnered with a man named Carl (not the same man, because that would be weird. Well, not so much weird, but definitely inappropriate, especially for business partners). Anyway, when referring to their partners, Eevin and Kevin would always call them "MyCarl." Like "well, My Carl loves our cats more than he loves me." Like that. And the other would totally understand. They decided to name the company MyCarl because it's sweet, and it saves them from having to decide whose name is listed first.
