Ask a Comedian
It’s time for the next installment of the mind-bendingly popular series “Ask a Comedian” where I ask a few comedians I know the same random question.
Today we have hot stuff comedian Kumail Nanjiani, subject of a recent NY Times profile, who you can watch on Letterman tonight (DO IT!). Best of all, he is married to me. The question (again):
There’s a doll being made of you- What tiny little accessories would it come with, and/or what would it say when you pull the string? (Yep, there’s a string.)
Jump to see his answer!!
<3
So proud. I love this man. Kumail on Kimmel last night.
(on a side note, Brooke Shields walked by me in the green room, and I literally swooned)
La Fin de Semana!
There are so many things for you to do this weekend. SO MANY.
Let’s start with the reason one of my oldest BFFs, Amber, is in town this weekend- to go see the Dead Milkmen at the Warsaw! How ridiculous did I feel that an Atlanta girl had the scoop on shows in Brooklyn? But she’s always been cooler than me.
See?
But now onto the self promotion.
First, on Saturday night at midnight, is another rip-roarin’ episode of Game Bros. LIVE! with Thomas and Kumail! This show is going to be awesome as usual, so come on down to the UCB this Saturday at midnight!! Sign up for tix here.
Then on Sunday, when you’re feeling introspective, you should come on down to Word Bookstore on Franklin St in Brooklyn for Bad Dating Habits I Learned from the Movies, the workshop that I’ll be doing with my girl Angela and whoever else wants to come out and play with us! We’ll talk about all the rules of dating that rom-coms taught us, and how they end up making us more miserable than listening to the Titanic theme. Go here to find out more details, and email brooklynlovesmarts@gmail.com to RSVP.
In between all that fun you’re having, follow me on Twitter! I don’t even know what that means! http://www.twitter.com/thegynomite

Shameless plugging!!
I just wanted to show you two articles that the love of my life/Bageldaddy is featured in this week:
First, Gelf Magazine, who calls him “The Pakistani Prince of Comedy“, and then New York Magazine, who picked him and nine other comics to perform in front of each other and then discuss it. Plus, they produced this cool shot of him.
As Gelf says, “It’s Kumail’s world, we just LOL in it.”
You know what time it is…..
It’s Game Bros. time!!! Tonight, 8pm at Crash Mansion on Bowery, the boys will be doing their thing at a new venue and a new time. This show is being presented by Comedy Central and will feature Jason Sudeikis from SNL, talking shop and attempting to beat his previous Marble Madness record. So come on down!
Video Games. Hilarity. Nostalgia. January.
It’s that time of the month again! This Saturday night at midnight, come on down to the UCB Theater to see Kumail and Thomas argue about Fallout 3, make fun of powerups in old games, and hang out with guests Timmy Williams and Sam Brown from The Whitest Kids U Know!

Game Bros. Live!!!
You know the drill! This Saturday night at midnight, come and join Kumail and Thomas, the Game Bros, for Game Bros Live!
Game Bros. Live! is a monthly show that takes a comedian’s look at video games and current industry news. Knowledgeable enough to satisfy the nerds yet charming enough to entertain the rest of the populace (ie: girls), Kumail and Thomas invite you on an informative and whimsical jaunt through video game land. New special guests each month, reviews, previews, discussions, competitions and audience prizes!!!
There will be a segment on naughty parts of games that were burned into our memories as children, and the guests this month are Arj Barker (Flight of the Conchords) and Rob Cantrell (Marijuanalogues)!
Make a reservation here!
