THEATER REVIEW: TINKLE * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
This new comedy show, which plays at Pianos at 158 Ludlow Street on Sunday nights at 8, is alternately hosted by David Cross (of Mr. Show with Bob and David), Todd Barry, and Jon Benjamin (Dr. Katz's good-for-nothing son on Dr. Katz). It's great, as far as stand-up comedy shows go, and some of the acts I saw there were great. But a couple were rather mundane. Does New York need another stand-up comedy show? That's a rhetorical question to which the answer is no. A lot of the acts challenged the conventional stand-up format, and there are musical acts and videos and some parodies of the genre of stand-up, and a lot of it was great. But even so, I guess from these great hosts I expected something a little more unconventional. As good a show as this is, I think I'd always rather go to the Upright Citizen Brigade'sA.S.S.S.S.C.A.T., which is also once a week at the same time. This is The Official Record.
