Stone Cold Fox

Stone Cold Fox: This Is Not Art is a new sketch show from Stone Cold Fox, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre’s first-ever weekend house sketch team. The show debuts at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (307 W. 26th Street) at 7:30pm on Friday, September 9 and features some of the UCB’s most talented actors and writers.

Here is the press release: “For their new show, Stone Cold Fox invites you to Project Space, an extremely Important Theater located in an abandoned asbestos factory in Brooklyn’s Chicken Plucking District. Project Space is devoted to Art, not entertainment. But we do need money, so we’ll be presenting a preview of our upcoming season, complete with many Important Art Scenes, which are definitely not comedy sketches. Comedy sketches are not Art. Please join us for Stone Cold Fox: This Is Not Art, an excruciatingly important night at the theater.”

Cory Haim: 1980′s Tween Casanova

In recent years, eternally 15-year old pop star Justin Bieber and Twilight vampire/werewolf Robert Lautnerson have dominated the hearts and bedroom posters of tweenage girls. But who were tweens way back in 1989 pining for? Cory Haim of “the two Corys” fame, of course. Here is a video Haim made upon leaving his first rehab stint to ensure his middle school fan base that he was still ready to be their heartthrob throughout the 1990′s, surely. Assuming Jason Priestly and Luke Perry don’t come along, that is.

Adventures of the Pretentious Bum

Every neighborhood has one. That bum that’s always saying pretentious things. Ours lives on the corner stoop and is always going on about how he doesn’t own a TV and only watches documentaries and European cinema.

Dance School Sizzle Reel

You may have never heard of the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms. (Be thankful if you haven’t). But this parody from Katina Corrao and Brandy Barber, with an all-star cast of hilarious people, is realistic enough to tell you all you need to know.
