We’re finishing up our run of Eugene Mirman and Pretty Good Friends this week from Wednesday October 12th to Sunday October 16th at the Soho Theatre. Below is the line-up. Where it says “special guest” — we mean that it is someone great, who we can’t list at their request, for a very reasonable reason — not just to stir the bottled-up emotions of the British citizenry. Below are the lineups so far, which are subject to unlikely change:
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 12th
Eugene Mirman, Kurt Braunohler, and Tom Allen..
THURSDAY OCTOBER 13th
Eugene Mirman, Kurt Braunohler and very special guest.
FRIDAY OCTOBER 14th
Eugene Mirman, Kurt Braunohler, Josie Long and very special guest.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 15th
Eugene Mirman, Kurt Braunohler and very special guest.
SUNDAY OCTOBER 16th
Eugene Mirman, Kurt Braunohler and very special guest, maybe more, since there is no show after us.
These shows will be very fun and you should probably go, since who knows when we’ll be back here. Here’s a review from Londonist of our show, which will be half different, since the guests change each night.

On September 15th we’re doing a day of science at The Bell House for the opening night of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival 2011. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Kristen Schaal, myself and special guests are doing a live version of Neil’s radio show, StarTalk.
But there’s more! We’d also love to have a science fair. Have you always wanted to show off your invention or awesome thing you made (excluding a baby)? Of course you have! Here’s your chance to share it, just email us at Eugenemirmancomedyfestival@gmail.com. Before the show we’ll have an hour or two of people’s items on display. It’ll be fun. We might even have some people from NASA hand out some ribbons. I bet everyone will be a winner.
Thank you!

Are you a company looking to impress everyone who walks in through your door? Are you looking for something to tweet to get media buzz and eventually IPO? Of course you are — because you are savvy and understand the new world of social media that relies more on word-of-mouth than full page ads in evening papers or airplanes flying banners by a beach advertising your weird steak dinner. Your problem has been solved. By donating $1000 to our Kickstarter campaign to help fund the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival you will receive a plaque that you can put up in your office, brag about to clients or simply impress your teenage children with. By clicking on, “Yes, my company wants the world to know that we are very, very cool and the best thing ever” you will be taking an important step towards a very profitable future. You might throw away more money on uneaten pasta and sandwiches at meetings about how your new phone system works. Why not give this a shot? Don’t you want to be mentioned in the New York Times or The Huffington Post as one of the companies that helped fund an Awkward Party Bus? Of course you do. I have no idea if that will happen, but your chances definitely increase if you pledge money. Thank you. Also, please do this before August 2nd, since there is a small chance everything will go out of business that day.
Below is what you plaque will say:
“This plaque is to certify that YOUR COMPANY’S NAME has donated graciously to the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. That means YOUR COMPANY’S NAME is cool and ‘gets it.’ It means YOUR COMPANY’S NAME is attractive, possibly environmentally friendly, and a generous lover. This plaque certifies that YOUR COMPANY’S NAME is a brand that can be trusted, even in a blizzard or during war-time. YOUR COMPANY’S NAME is number one and we love you. Sincerely, The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival”
