CoHo hasn't just survived, it has thrived and is ascending, and that is largely thanks to the foundation that Cuomo... laid with the young artists who have come up after him.

The Walking Man has been spotted around various New York City subway stations, awarding fans with prizes and terrifying unsuspecting straphangers with an unsettling smile.

I felt a sense of injustice that there were so many talented comics that, through no fault of their own, could not take part in standup comedy and I was determined to address that.

This week's playlist includes new music by Kurt Vile, American Football ft Brendan Yates, Kelela, Sleaford Mods ft Aldous Harding, and many more artists.

The New York International Auto Show is packed with kid-friendly activities, including their newly expanded Family Fun Zone featuring hands-on attractions, a Kids EV Test Track, and more.

"I do kind of absurd one-liners, my biggest influence would be Mitch Hedberg, probably. And I have the same voice that I do for everything, just that one voice."

This year, we opted to sort our spring guide into categories, the better to match your mood. There are the shows everyone's talking about - big names like Duchamp and Raphael (seriously, how is this the first major survey of his in the city?), Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. There are major surveys, like the New Museum's inaugural show in its expanded building, MoMA PS1's Greater New York triennial, and of course, the Whitney Biennial.

The New York Comedy Film Festival has announced the full lineup for its inaugural edition, running February 15-22, with screenings and events taking place at venues including Asylum NYC and the Baruch College Performing Arts Center. Spanning a full week, the festival aims to showcase the range of comedic storytelling on screen, from broad laughs to darker, more experimental takes, across features, shorts, series and documentaries.

Teatro Fest NYC returned for its 11th year earlier this month, celebrating a history of Latinx identity and performance through 24 unique and original shows.

Navigating an industry dominated by white, cisgender, heterosexual men takes a lot of courage, thankfully, Kemah Bob is brimming with it. In 2018, she founded The Femmes of Colour Comedy Club, better known as FOC, with the aim of giving women and trans comedians the tools to take over the comedy world. The American comedian, who uses she/they pronouns, has appeared on Richard Osman's House of Games and BBC's QI. Her comedic skill is undeniable,

The mission, Jeremy says, is 'to run the highest quality show possible while also giving younger comics a chance to get their start.' That means investing in top-tier lighting and A/V systems, designing a room that works for both performers and audiences and creating a space where comedians can do regular spots, headline and even record specials.

Readers who saw my previous post will recall its focus on a recurring pattern of laughter and humor found during my deep dive into the humor of the Seinfeld series. I wondered why we tend to laugh at various things going into our bodies and tried to explain why we might be so inclined using the Mutual Vulnerability Theory of Laughter.

Welcome to Hecklers Welcome!, San Francisco's only stand-up show where you get to talk back. This is not your average comedy night-this is a full-blown verbal brawl, where comics come ready to spar and the audience gets a license to heckle. Got jokes? Bring 'em. Got beef? Air it. Think you're funnier than the pros? Talk back and find out.
