Problem: Tuesday nights are boring and you’re poor. Solution: the Tea Lounge in Park Slope’s FREE Tuesday night events. Curated by Kerri Doherty of Fucked in Park Slope, the series features everything from beer making story telling. Here’s what in store:
The Laugh Lounge
Tuesday 8/2, 9 pm
NYC improvisers from PIT, UCB, The Magnet and Chicago’s Second City all together under one roof on the first Tuesday of every month. Featured guests will include the Red Tie Mafia, The Andrews Sisters, Rubin, Solomon & Shaw, GIANT and more.
Also: if you’d like to bitch about something, you can join in on the Laugh Lounge’s mid-show “Pet Peeve Forum,” which will generously offer a mic and 5 minutes (THAT’S A LOT!) for you to tell us what gets your goat: The Park Slope parking sitch? Cost of rent? Your neighbor’s yappy dog? Spill your guts to fellow Brooklynites — it’s therapeutic!
