Description

Bob Holman, the man who helped popularize slam poetry in the city, founded the Bowery Poetry Club, so you can feel quite confident that the acts inside aren't just a bunch of wannabe beatniks. Spoken-word poets, self-conscious rappers, amplified rockers, and tawdry burlesque acts frequent the stage in the back, while arty regulars hang out in the club's macabre, red-chandelier-equipped cafe. It also has wi-fi.

    Dallas Vietty's Musette Project

    By Richard Gehr | Wed, May 09, 2012

    Brooklyn accordionist Dallas Vietty specializes in musette, the lilting, highly ornamented French waltz music that's making some small comeback long after its early 20th century heyday. His set is part of a program celebrating NYU... More »

    Great poetry readings, and concerts by up and coming and already highly established artists.

    Where else could you see, Amira Baraka backed by a live jazz quartet one night and a mega J Rock concert marathon the next? The Bowery Poetry Club houses some of the most diverse forms of entertainment in NYC, which only makes sense seeing that the ever eccentric and eclectic Bob Holman owns the joint. Plus the food served there isn't half bad.

  • 2009 | Best Reinterpretation of an Old-Lady Activity

    Ever been to bingo at a church hall with mean old ladies who bring their own ink blotters? It's intense. There are barely any voices or sounds heard--just the emotionless drone of the caller, the spinning of the ball cage, and the shuffle of tennis-ball-bottomed walkers on the wood floors. That's not what it's like at Murray Hill and Linda Simpson's long-running Monday Night Bingo. This downtown comic duo is one of a handful of gamers who have tapped into a young, fabulous, and mostly... More »

  • 2008 | Best Off-Off-Off-Broadway Musical Theater

    Even after her punk-band days and her years of "anti-slam" variety performances, Jen Miller has kept a busy schedule. When she's not doing her cable-access show, or working out of her home as the curator of a troll-doll museum, or writing columns for artnet.com, or lecturing at USC about performance art, you might find her starring in her self-proclaimed "live-action TV show" Rev. Jen's Really Cool Neighborhood. Ably assisted by her Chihuahua (Rev. Jen Jr.), a giant talking roach, Moo... More »
