The Tobolowsky Files @ The Bell House

The Tobolowsky Files is my favorite storytelling podcast ever (Yes, better than This American Life and The Moth). I recommend starting with Season 1, Episode 1, as each story builds upon previous stories.

Stephen Tobolowsky will be performing a live version of The Tobolowsky Files at the Bell House in Brooklyn on Tuesday, February 28. Tickets are $25.

Herzog + Penguins


Is there such a thing as insanity among penguins? The best part of Encounters at the End of the World. Except for maybe the painting of the chimp riding a donkey, which I can’t find.

Daniel Kitson: It’s Always Right Now, Until it’s Later ­@ St. Ann’s Warehouse & UCB Theatre


Theater! Thanks to Lilian and Mungo of SELF, I was tipped off to catch The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church, by Daniel Kitson last year. A charming story that turned in on itself, it reminded me of lovely storytelling in The Tobolowsky Files.

His new play, It’s Always Right Now, Until it’s Later is a show about everything and nothing. It’s playing at St. Ann’s Warehouse through January 29. Tickets are $25.

Kitson will also be doing a couple night shows at Upright Citizens Brigade on Thursday, Jan. 19 and Thursday, Jan. 26. Tickets are $5.

Japadog in NYC

One of my favorite foods in Vancouver is opening up shop in NYC! Japadog (questionable name, delicious food) is opening at 30 St. Marks between 2nd Ave. and 3rd Ave. They’ll be selling the Terimayo, the Croquette (fried potato patty in a hot dog!), the Tonkatsu, and … an ice cream option?!? Japadog Menu
