Mostly books and theater.
It pains me to be so lukewarm on a show that features so many artists I admire and all the elements I usually love (Puppets! Plays within plays! Unreliable narrators!) but THE BURNING CAULDRON OF FIERY FIRE does not come together. exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...

Going over the Manhattan Bridge, the conductor sang the entire Magilla Gorilla theme song. I think there were only about three people not wearing headphones and we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly while checking in with one another to confirm this was really happening.
everyone tell me your favorite subway interactions. one time this older dude sat down next to me, called me a snow bunny, and opened his bag to show me that it contained piles of banded cash

ROAD KILLS isn't quite a comedy, but it finds some levity and wry humor in some pretty dark places. (Read the content warning on their website if you're squeamish or have a hard time with depictions of abuse, though.)
