The Moon: 19th Show

It Is Written In The Book Of Moon: Tuesday's Show Will Be Awesome


Enemies of language inflation, put down your weapons!

There has been no exaggeration: This Tuesday's Moon will be literally awesome. As it was prophesied eons ago, on Tuesday, September 22, at 8PM, The Moon will embark upon its greatest performance to date, inspiring awe in the audience and altering the parameters of their perception forever. With our largest cast ever, and a selection of spectacular guests, this FREE show is certain to be the stuff of legends. Centuries from now, astro-archaeologists digging beneath the moon's surface will uncover stone tablets depicting Tuesday evening's events as the first true usage of the number "zero". Don't you want to be a part of future history?

A lineup strong enough to challenge the might of the gods:
  • Sara Schaefer - Head researcher and blogger for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon
  • Rob Cantrell - Standup-ist and Marijuanalogue-er
  • David Cope - Hilarious comedian and harp player.
  • Camille Harris - Classically modern
  • Kenny Pickett - A modern classic.
  • and the return of STANDUP-BOT! (intergalactic death-robot bent on conquering the NYC standup scene)
See you in the future!

Friends Of The Moon Video Roundup

Some of our favorite guests have recently made and/or been in some of our favorite videos. Which and which, you ask? Why waste time torturing yourself, when you can just scroll down and find out on your own?

In reverse chronological order...


Aaron Glaser: 1-900-BALL-TLK

Good Friend and UCB regular Aaron Glaser wrote this video. And it stars Jenn Sterger, who is famous for having nice breasts, so that's great.





Hannibal Buress on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Hannibal is one of our favorite people. He has killed each of his four appearances on The Moon. See him do the same here, but without a microphone.



Hannibal was also recently hired to be a writer for this upcoming season of Saturday Night Live, which is fucking insane. Read all about it!


Adira Amram: Fingerblast

James Beard and I are in the final club scene of this video. Can you spot James? You can't spot me.



Adira and her two dancers are going on tour this Fall with Kid Koala, who is doing this crazy show with the six turntables and the rhythm section from Wolfmother, playing the soundtrack to a movie that never existed. I swear. Check it out.
