CBS/NY PRESENTS: Liam McEneaney's "Writings (with Music)"
at Mo Pitkins' House of Satisfaction
34 Avenue A @ 3rd Street
8:00pm - $6.00

Every musician secretly wants to be a comedian. All comedians have a secret yearning to play music. On Monday night, these worlds collide in a music/comedy experiment, as some of New York's best comedy writers read pieces, creating a rhythm that a jazz band will use to create a live, improvised musical background.

Curated by:
LIAM McENEANEY, who has been seen on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" and VH1's "Best Week Ever." He spent two seasons as a writer for Comedy Central's "Stand-Up Nation w/ Greg Giraldo."

And featuring readings from:

TODD HANSON, who is the head writer for the popular satirical weekly The Onion, and is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller "Our Dumb Century."

AMANDA MELSON, who wrote for the Comedy Central shows "Stand Up Nation w/ Greg Giraldo" and the upcoming (hopefully) "Adult Content w/ Greg Giraldo" She is also a contributing writer for Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update."

CHRIS REGAN, winner of five Emmys as a writer for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and co-author of the New York Times bestseller, "America (The Book)." His website, www.mythstory.net, will be published as a book in 2007.

WENDY SPERO, a comedian who has appeared on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend." Her one-woman show, "Who's Your Daddy?" was greeted by ecstatic reviews from The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Time Out New York.
