Kyle Kinane and Kumail Nanjiani started standup together in Chicago, but Kyle moved to LA while Kumail came to NYC. On March 4th, they will reunite on the Comix stage to spend an evening with you. These two very different comedic voices are both white hot right now, and we can’t wait to show them both off in one night. Kyle Kinane is probably the most rock n’ roll comic on the planet- he is surly and loveable and constantly hilarious. He was named one of Askmen.com’s Top 10 Emerging Comics, and he has played memorable characters on both Last Call with Carson Daly and in the movie Funny People. Fresh off of his appearance on Live at Gotham, he has a brand new album out called “Death of the Party”. Kumail Nanjiani’s infectious energy and love of video games have been seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with David Letterman, and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham. You may have even caught him playing Homer, the prisoner under the desk, on The Colbert Report. He signed on as a writer for the Comedy Central show Michael and Michael Have Issues and ended up becoming a recurring character on the show. Come and see a NYC favorite alongside what is sure to be a new favorite NYC visitor. THURSDAY, MARCH 4th @ 9:30 PM Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 on the day of show plus a two drink minimum in the showroom.

Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci, aka Garfunkel and Oates, are an adorably bizarre comedy-folk duo that has been making waves everywhere lately. You’ve heard them on the show Scrubs and seen them perform on The Jay Leno Show, now you can see them live when they headline Comix this March. Often called “the female Flight of the Conchords”, the ladies of Garfunkel and Oates have been performing separately for years. Riki has been seen in movies like Million Dollar Baby, The Last House on the Left, Changeling, and TV shows like The Big Bang Theory and Pushing Daisies. Kate grew up playing classical piano and studying art before she tried her hand in comedy, appearing in TV shows like Scrubs, Rules of Engagement, Cory in the House and the upcoming movie When in Rome. The two met while both were performing at the UCB Theater in LA, and were a huge hit locally. Then their song “Screw You” was featured on an episode of Scrubs, and now they’re a huge hit everywhere.

An all-star cast from opera and Broadway comes together to present the World Premiere Two Act Concert Version of Ricky Ian Gordon and Michael Korie’s beautiful rendering of Nobel Prize-winner John Steinbeck’s epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The “Grapes of Wrath”, on March 22, 2010 at Carnegie Hall, conducted by Ted Sperling. Called by Musical America “The great American opera,” Gordon’s opera incorporates American popular musical styles of the 20s and 30s: song-and-dance, sweet and rousing love songs, ballads with banjos, jazz choruses, and a barbershop quartet. Just like the novel itself, the work is both heart-wrenching and uplifting. Gordon (music) and Korie (libretto) have collaborated with The Chorale to shorten the length of the original opera, while composing new material for the chorus. And if that starry cast – Victoria Clark, Christine Ebersole, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Futral, Anthony Dean Griffey, Nathan Gunn, Peter Halverson, Steven Pasquale, Stephen Powell, Andrew Wilkowske and Matthew Worth – isn’t enough inspiration to see the show, the role of Tom Joad’s young daughter, Ruthie, will be sung by Nathan Gunn’s daughter, Madeline Gunn. Directed by Eric Simonson with lighting design by Frances Aronson. Tickets are $25-$160 and will be available at 646-202-9623 or www.collegiatechorale.org.

OlentagyMusic is pleased to announce the US premiere production of American-born Melbourne actor Chris Wallace’s The Mark Twain You Don’t Know for a three-week limited engagement at Off-Broadway’s Richmond Shepard Theatre (309 East 26th Street). Performances begin Tuesday, March 23 and continue thru Monday, April 5. Opening Night is Thursday, March 25 (8 p.m.). Mark Twain died 100 years ago, yet his humour and insights remain contemporary. The Mark Twain You Don’t Know is a rich mix of humor, homespun wisdom and satirical observations, performed in a one-man tour de force by Chris Wallace. Starting with Letters from the Earth, Mark Twain’s version of the creation of the Universe: Satan writes letters home to his fellow archangels, telling them about this quaint little insignificant place and the “interesting fools” who populate it. 1601, A Conversation as it was by the Social Fireside in the Time of the Tudors is a ribald, bawdy romp that features characters from Elizabethan England, including Sir Walter Raleigh, Ben Jonson, Francis Bacon, Shakespeare, Elizabeth the First and others The War Prayer, written late in Mark Twain’s life, puts the notion of war into a universal context, showing the other side of patriotism as the wilful destruction of equally valid human life. A mini-musical version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn leads into the finale of The Autobiography of Mark Twain, with a chapter dedicated to the death of one of his two remaining daughters. The power and poignancy of this piece resonates with everyone who has ever suffered a loss. The production features scenic design by Name of Designer, costume design by Amanda Carr, and lighting design by Brett Maughan. Name of Designer is the sound engineer and Name is the stage manager. The Mark Twain You Don’t Know plays the following regular schedule through Sunday, April 5: Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Thursdays at 8 p.m. Fridays at 8 p.m. Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 (stu/sen $15) and are now available online at www.xxxxxx.com or by calling 212 684 2690.

AMY MARSHALL DANCE COMPANY celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the company, presenting three World Premieres at The Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater, 405 W. 55th Street, NYC (at Ninth Avenue) from March 25-28, 2010, Thursday-Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $25 (students and seniors $20) and are available at www.smarttix.com or by phone at 212-868-4444. The evening begins with “English Suite” (2005), a classically-based dance full of sweet nuances, set to music by H.H. Parry. In five sections, the piece presents a joyous summer season blooming with the vibrancy of life. The World Premiere of “A Gift” features artistic director Amy Marshall dancing seven months pregnant with her third child, a daughter, expressing the purity and simplicity of the experience of growing a new life. In the World Premiere of “Riding the Purple Twilight”, audiences are swept on a dark, sensuous journey of a young couple racing full throttle towards fame and success, stopping at nothing to get ahead. “Askew” (2000) explores the dynamics of group relationships in social situations as six dancers split into two groups confronting one another as each vies to proves his loyalty and honor. Throughout the dance people shift from one side to the other, or one against all or two against each other, which so often occurs in everyday life. The first piece choreographed by Amy Marshall, “Excerpt from Two Duets and a Quartet” (2000), set to Bach Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in A minor is a poignant tribute to lifelong love, as the duet reveals a couple’s ease, patience and peace with one another. The World Premiere of “Going for the Gold” is comic relief in four sections, taking audiences on the rigorous journey to an Olympic medal. The program is appropriate for children ages five and above.

AMY MARSHALL DANCE COMPANY celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the company, presenting three World Premieres at The Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater, 405 W. 55th Street, NYC (at Ninth Avenue) from March 25-28, 2010, Thursday-Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $25 (students and seniors $20) and are available at www.smarttix.com or by phone at 212-868-4444. The evening begins with “English Suite” (2005), a classically-based dance full of sweet nuances, set to music by H.H. Parry. In five sections, the piece presents a joyous summer season blooming with the vibrancy of life. The World Premiere of “A Gift” features artistic director Amy Marshall dancing seven months pregnant with her third child, a daughter, expressing the purity and simplicity of the experience of growing a new life. In the World Premiere of “Riding the Purple Twilight”, audiences are swept on a dark, sensuous journey of a young couple racing full throttle towards fame and success, stopping at nothing to get ahead. “Askew” (2000) explores the dynamics of group relationships in social situations as six dancers split into two groups confronting one another as each vies to proves his loyalty and honor. Throughout the dance people shift from one side to the other, or one against all or two against each other, which so often occurs in everyday life. The first piece choreographed by Amy Marshall, “Excerpt from Two Duets and a Quartet” (2000), set to Bach Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in A minor is a poignant tribute to lifelong love, as the duet reveals a couple’s ease, patience and peace with one another. The World Premiere of “Going for the Gold” is comic relief in four sections, taking audiences on the rigorous journey to an Olympic medal. The program is appropriate for children ages five and above.
