WOAH, you guys. Can you believe it’s the 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Big Terrific? Can you even remember the time before Big Terrific existed? When everything was in black & white, witches had to practice their magic in the woods for fear of being drown’t, and people had sex with dinosaurs because it was ssssoooooo cold out all the time? Same.

Please help usher us into our terrible twos, with a star-studded lineup of anniversary-show proportionz:

Patrick Borelli (Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien)
Eugene Mirman (Flight of the Conchords, Delocated)
Michael Showalter (The State, Michael & Michael Have Issues)
& a VERY SUPER-SPECIAL SECRET WONDERFUL GUEST!!!!!!!!!!!

(plus MAX SILVESTRI, JENNY SLATE, and GABE LIEDMAN be doing what we do best: “accidentally” sitting in some chocolate frosting on purpose and making the same joke at the same time)

Hi friends,

Two of New York’s finest comedians leave this fine city on Thursday to go to Los Angeles and be on television shows. Good for them! Bad for us. So please join us on Wednesday to say goodbye to Baron Vaughn and Kumail Nanjiani. For both, it’s their last New York performance for a long while and they are going to be doing like half an hour each. What a treat!

Plus: Gabe Liedman, Jenny Slate, Max Silvestri and a guest set by television’s Ben Kronberg. Afterward we will laugh and cry and drink. It will be just like a policeman’s wake! Especially because I will be wearing a kilt and Gabe Liedman is going to play my bagpipes.

Free! Doors at 8, show at 8:30! Twelve dollars buys you all you can drink High Life until midnight.

More info here.

Hi buddies,

It is Wednesday so let’s party at Big Terrific. Did you know that the bar out front now has tacos with crunchy shells and ground beef like you used to get in your middle school cafeteria or from your mom if she was not a very good Mexican cook? Just saying! They are great.

Our guests:
ALI WONG (SF’s Funniest Comedian)
JAMES PATTERSON (Comedy Central)
GREG JOHNSON (legend)
JARROD HARRIS (Live at Gotham)

Plus Gabe Liedman, Jenny Slate and Max Silvestri teach each other dope skate tricks. Nollie, goofy foot!

Doors at 8, show at 8:30, FREE.

Hey y’all,

It’s Star Jones’s birthday! I don’t know who or what she is, but she is very famous and has a super handsome husband, so let’s definitely celebrate this week at Big Terrific.

Our guests:

PETE HOLMES (Comedy Central Half Hour Special)
JESSE POPP (NY Times)
ROGER HAILES (Chappelle’s Show)
BOB POWERS (Werewolf’s Guide to Live)

Plus, me and Gabe Liedman and Mad Television’s Jenny Slate.We are all lots of fun.

Oh man. How perfect is it that Big Terrific falls this week on Saint Patrick’s Day? The answer is very perfect, on account of how Irish I am, my strong connection to the Catholic Church, and the fact that Cameo Gallery is located on Fifth Avenue directly across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Spooky!

Dying their pee green this week are:
JESSI KLEIN (Michael and Michael Have Issues)
JOHN MULANEY (Network Television)
BRENT SULLIVAN (Live at Gotham)
DAVID COPE (Bumbershoot)

I forgot to post this last week. The season premiere is tonight!

Hi buddies,

It is your friend Max Silvestri here. What’s up with you? I turn 27 years YOUNG (old) on Saturday, which is, no doy, a completely meaningless age. Literally no one should be excited by that or for me. All of this means I have to really nail my birthday week. M.I.S.S. (make it special stupid)! So far so good. Today I got a really solid cold cut trio at Subway. While I was there a guy ordered a six inch sub, then also a three inch sub. The workers were confused, so he held up his hands to give them an idea of how big he was talking about. “I want it to be three inches long.” Yikes! So chill.

Come celebrate three-inchers and my birthday at this Wednesday’s BIG TERRIFIC.

Our guests:
KRISTEN SCHAAL (Flight of the Conchords)
JULIAN MCCULLOUGH (Comedy Central Presents)
JOE RANDAZZO (Editor, The Onion)
EDITH ZIMMERMAN (The Awl, NYMag.com)

And as always Gabe Liedman and I catfighting over which slow jam to warm the crowd up with. You’re the best!

Hi buds,

There is a show tonight. No doy. It’s got me and Gabe Liedman along with Jesse Popp, Myq Kaplan, Ben Kronberg and Jason Trachtenburg. Come hang out! More info here.

Hi friends,

There’s no crying in baseball, but there’s also definitely no crying on Geena Davis’s birthday. She is very TALLented, right?? This week’s Big Terrific is a birthday party for Ms. Davis. Did you know that Geena is in MENSA and also tried out for the Olympic archery team? Of course you did. Literally everyone knows that. It is like the second thing they teach you in kindergarten. “There are 26 letters, don’t provoke bees, and Geena Davis is as smart as she is tall and good at shooting arrows.”

Come out to this week’s Big Terrific for lots of fun times and laughs. Gabe Liedman is still out in LA, but we will pour one out for him this week because he reeeeally loves A League of Their Own, especially the scene where Tom Hanks takes a super long piss.

I’ll be hosting, and we’ll also have:
CHRIS GETHARD (UCB, Fallon)
PATRICK BORELLI (Conan, Holy Headshot)
SEAN O’CONNOR (mostly chill)
and also our own lovely JENNY SLATE (Saturday Night Fever).

Please come hang out! Also, does anyone know Lori Petty’s ICQ number? I really want to invite her to come celebrate her old friend Geena’s birthday.
