THE TANK SPACE FOR PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS

On PURIM, it's a Mitzvah to get drunk. On ST. PAT'S, you're an outcast if you're sober. Two cultures, united in inebriation. For one day, everyone's JewIrish.

Celebrate these two great traditions of two immigrant groups that made America great as they collide in one very American tradition. Participatory, punchy and playful. With live music, karaoke, comedy, tricks, acts, delights, snacks & the story of Purim...of course.

Leprechaun: $5
Blarney Stone: $10, 2 drinks
Queen Esther: $25, DRINK ALL NIGHT
St. Purim Superstar: $50, drink all night + Tank membership

New York's top political comedian and Laughing Liberally regular Scott Blakeman hosts a look at the week's news from left to right(or right to left for our Jewish friends).

Scott performs his political standup, interviews special guests from the media, politics and the arts, and hosts a roundtable of liberal and conservative pundits, who talk without talking points and (hopefully) treat each other with civility and respect.

You've heard of the the Pill, then there's THE PILL.

THE PILL is anything you want it to be. THE PILL is a long form improvised comedy organization that instantly cures what ails you. When watched, THE PILL binds to your mRNA ligands, rewrites your junk DNA and turns it into a protein know as Laughapolypeptide, which in clinical trials has demonstrated significant efficacy in patients with mild depression and general lethargy. Do not see THE PILL if you are a jerk, have no sense of humor, or if you experience seizures. Side effects include: side stitch, overactive crying, uncontrollable fits and seizures.

The Pill does not stop pregnancy. In fact, 9 out of 10 women who saw THE PILL became pregnant five minutes into the show, usually during a seizure.

Groundbreaking Laughing Liberally comic Lee Camp will be FILMING A NEW COMEDY STAND-UP DVD at The Tank.

George Carlin's daughter Kelly said, "My father would've been a huge fan, just like I am." Janean Garofalo called him "a great political thinker and amazing writer." And Roseanne Barr started a standing ovation for him on the set of a recent taping of Showtime's new show "Paul Provenza's Green Room."

Don't miss the chance to see a full hour of hysterical and biting cultural criticism by the man who called Fox News "a parade of propaganda" LIVE on Fox's own morning show. You might've seen Lee Camp running for president on Comedy Central's "Fresh Debate '08" or when he was featured on "Good Morning America." He's a contributor to the The Onion and the front page of The Huffington Post. Camp will also be featured in the new book "Satiristas!" alongside everyone from George Carlin to Stephen Colbert to Conan O'Brien. This show is for one night only.
