Todd Barry at the Morrison Motel January 8, 2008

If you would be so kind as to mark your calendar for Tuesday, January 8th at 8:30PM, we would love to have you join us for a great night of comedy at Cornelia Street Cafe in the West Village.

For our first Motel show of the new year, we are very pleased and proud to be bringing back our good friend Todd Barry. Todd will be scooting back and forth between Sketchfest shows in San Francisco, but we'll be lucky enough to have him for one night only.

From HBO's "Flight of the Conchords" to the Montreal, Aspen and Edinburgh Comedy Festivals, there's not much Todd hasn't done in the world of stage, film, radio and TV comedy. Howard Stern, Lucky Louie, Chappelle's Show, Letterman, Conan, etc., etc... just take our word for it, you are going to love Todd, OK? OK. (Everyone does. Uncanny, but true.)

Joining Todd, Comedy Central's Liam McEneaney has just returned from his European tour, and we're guessing he'll have some smart things to say for himself, as always. Old friend and winner of the Bud Light "Ladies of Laughter" Contest, Maureen Langan will be here, and you can see for yourself why Backstage magazine named her one of the "Ten Standout Stand-ups Worth Watching".

Vigilante pundit, comedian and author Baratunde Thurston will be here as well. If you like Al Franken, Jon Stewart or the Bill of Rights, you'll like Baratunde.

We had such a fun time last month with Chicago Second-City alum Thomas Middleditch that we've asked him back for an encore, and we're delighted to be able to present to you deaf comic Douglas Ridloff, co-creator and producer of "ASL (American Sign Language) in the Raw". Douglas - along with his interpreter for the hearing - will have you in stitches, guaranteed. Funny, funny man.

That's our show, ladies and gentlemen. Please call now, while you are thinking about it, and reserve yourself a seat. You'll - and we'll - be glad you did. We'll leave the light on..
