Big Terrific
Every Wednesday Night at 8:00
This is comedy show started in 2008 in Brooklyn, by three best friends (Gabe Liedman, Jenny Slate, and Max Silvestri) who wanted to start a comedy show where the audience felt like they were at a party. Silvestri, being the only original founder to still live in NYC, hosts its every week and the other two join him when they are in town. The show is free and lineups are announced usually a few hours before the show starts on twitter. The show usually consists of a funny mix of new people and well known comics who drop (usually unannounced) to work on new material, comics like Aziz Ansari, John Mulaney, Hannibal Buress, Zach Galifianakis and Mike Birbiglia.
